Traveller’s Choice 2022
We are beyond grateful for everyone’s support. Thank you! We had a good summer season and a not so bad winter season after all. Obviously not the same as usual, but enough to keep us going. A HUGE thank you for that. So grateful for our truly wonderful team who knuckle down, work exceptionally hard and pull through with huge smiles and warm supportive hearts.
Speaking of fantastic staff…
Look at what happened for the 10th year in a row! Best of the Best Traveller’s Choice 2022… This time #8 small stay in the world and #2 in Africa!

Just outside Swellendam, Oude Post Bistro is a beloved family-run stop, known for its famous roosterkoek, warm hospitality, and family-friendly charm. With a bistro, shop, playpark, and soon Art de Olivia, it’s a Western Cape road trip favourite we always recommend to Schoone Oordt guests.
