We had a wonderful evening at this evening during our stop in Swellendam. Everything was perfect from the spacious and well-appointed rooms, to beautiful common space, delicious meals and attentive staff. It was Thanksgiving and the perfect place for us to enjoy a lovely stay without our family. Prior to leaving we saw that even our car had been washed. The inn has been meticulously renovated and is a must visit.

A welcoming oasis of calm in beautiful gardens. Lovely bedroom and bathroom..we came back from dinner on a cool evening and there were hot water bottles in our bed! So comforting. Definitely a place to stay again.

Beautiful, cosy and warm family hotel. Food was superb, especially breakfast which was four course meal! Kids loved swimming pool and fish and my older son said he had best sleep ever (and he doesn’t sleep much). Staff were incredibly friendly and professional going out of their way to help my husband who had upset stomach. Facilities were great and we really enjoyed our stay, we only wish we stayed longer. Oh, and complimentary car wash was so needed! Coming back from game reserve our car was very dirty and it was spotless by the time we got up. Thank you all!

We stayed one night to break a journey and wish we could have stayed longer. The family room was amazing. The kids were so excited by bunk beds and also by the little kids robes and sink in the bathroom! It was an amazing house, with beautiful space, and lovely guys working there. We were devastated the restaurant was shut the night we stayed and, once we had breakfast, were even more sad to have missed dinner. Breakfast was the best I’ve ever had, 3 courses and each one just incredible. Even the “full English” was something we’d never tried before, just amazing, and the chef was absolutely lovely. Couldn’t recommend highly enough

One of the best places we have stayed at in Africa, food was simply sensational, great room, wonderful staff. Lovely host (Alison). Altogether splendid. The gardens are well maintained and we even got a complimentary car wash prior to leaving. Highly recommended.

One night stay, lovely room and lovely food . Staff were all excellent and i met the owner on leaving and it was fantastic to see her passion for her beautiful place. Only negative feedback was of all the 9 places we stayed in on this holiday it was the only place where the pool was unloved and uninviting, which was a real shame as it could look amazing.

Blown away by our experience at Schoone Oordt!! The staff were all lovely and went so above and beyond - warm scones/cappuccinos on arrival, returned from dinner to a fire in our fireplace, washed our car as we ate breakfast. Do not miss meals here, the food was all INCREDIBLE. We can’t stop talking about our stay here!

The hotel is in beautiful setting and is very welcoming . We enjoyed a one night stay and all the meals were of a very high standard . Our car was even washed for us before leaving . The hotel is only a few minutes walk from lots of bars and restaurants ! Worth a visit if you’re on the garden route

Lovely historic Manor House, beautifully restored, in convenient location - our room, the honeymoon suite, was very comfortable and practical. The bed was extremely comfortable and we enjoyed being tucked away in a quiet part of the grounds. Breakfasts were excellent and dinner very good. Some excellent local restaurants including La Sosta and good cafes.
