Schoone Oordt is Pure Magic!
From the warm, heartfelt welcome to the beautifully restored charm of the house, every moment felt like being wrapped in comfort and care. The meals were a highlight: fresh, local ingredients crafted into dishes full of soul and flavor. You can taste the love in every bite. This isn’t just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel, to slow down, and to be cared for. Swellendam’s hidden gem.

Exquisite!
Well, where do we begin... simply exquisite. I must admit, I felt very emotional when entering your stunning country house. The empathy of restoration along with your marvellous staff and ALL the little touches throughout our stay go a long way. Our only regret is we're not here for two nights. Thank you & we wish you well in all you continue to do.

Only gave 5/5 because 6/5 wasn't possible
What can we say other than fabulous stay. The room was amazing as were the staff. Dinner... oone of the best meals ever (no exaggeration). If planning a stay in Swellendam, do yourself a favour and stay here. You won't regret it if only because of the unexpected hot water bottles at turndown and the car being washed before we left!
