BOSCIA HOUSE POP-UP

Klein JAN restaurant has been a highlight for many of our guests, earned numerous awards and elevated safari dining. However, recent flooding in low-lying areas of Tswalu has led to the temporary closure of the restaurant.

BOSCIA HOUSE POP-UP

We are pleased to introduce the Boscia House Pop-up, an alternative dining experience in a restored, century-old cottage named after the venerable shepherd’s trees (Boscia albitrunca) that define Tswalu’s semi-arid landscape. Curated by Michelin-starred Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, the same creative force behind Klein JAN, this intimate setting offers a menu rooted in hyper-local, seasonal ingredients, and the assurance of generous Northern Cape hospitality.

The Boscia House Pop-up experience is complimentary for all guests staying at least two nights. Seating is limited, and dinner is by invitation only – unfortunately, it cannot be reserved for a specific evening. Parental discretion is advised for children younger than 12.

There are exciting plans in the pipeline to reopen the Klein JAN space with a new dining concept, but for now, we look forward to welcoming you to our Boscia House Pop-up at Tswalu.

ABOUT KLEIN JAN

Klein JAN restaurant brings storytelling to the forefront of Tswalu’s dining experience. Chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen works closely with Tswalu’s chefs to unearth the authentic flavours, heritage foods, cultural influences, and culinary traditions of South Africa and the Northern Cape, in particular.

The success of Klein JAN has always been driven by South African-born chef Jan Hendrik van der Westhuizen, who brought the concept to life and remains dedicated to overseeing every aspect of the menu and the service. As the next chapter of this extraordinary restaurant is written, we encourage you to watch this space.
