Vincent Henwood and Aileen Pypers look forward to welcoming you to their beautiful home.

Klein Waterkloof is a smallholding set at the foot of the Paarl Mountain range. Having taken over the property in 2017, we are eager to share this beautiful part of the Western Cape with visitors from the rest of South Africa as well as further afield.

We are both animal lovers and therefore it was a natural choice to make the guesthouse a pet-friendly destination.

To see who you will be encountering on your visit be sure to visit the ‘Our pets‘ page.

We are passionate about our impact on the earth and have tried to adopt a sustainable living lifestyle in as many ways as possible. We have a grey water system linked to all the baths, shower and the washing machine, this water is used for the trees near Merl’s house and the grass. We installed a solar energy system through Energy Partners Home Solutions and are now reaping the sun’s harvest on a daily basis.

As busy professionals, we understand the need to get away from it all and encourage guests to unwind and relax in the tranquil surroundings. However, for those who find the country life a bit too quiet, we also have a wide range of interests including swing dancing, choral music, woodworking, innovative tech, teaching and the human-animal bond and look forward to interesting conversations over a cup of tea or glass of wine.
