As soon as I looked to the hotel facade, I got absolutely impressed. What a fantastic old house. Then, we stepped in and were received for a very attentive staff which offered us an afternoon brunch free of charge, and it was delicious. The rooms are impeccable furnished and clean. Breakfast was also very good. There’s a beautiful backyard with... More

And the breakfast! Wow! We came... More

Schoone Oordt guest house, situated just off Swellendam’s main street, is a relic of days long gone but lovingly restored and brought up to modern standards. Our accommodation was to the rear of the property with its own entrance. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable with a (useable) open fireplace and antique furniture in the bedroom. The well-equipped bathroom continued... More

We enjoyed every minute of... More
