There is something quite magical about this striking Victorian Manor House. She has been lovingly restored over

many years by Richard and Alison Walker and is passionately run by Sonette and Wander (pronounced V-un-derr)

Bester. As a result, she has been instilled with charm and grace and she adores welcoming guests.

Her extensive grounds house two standard and six luxury rooms, a quaint, private family cottage and a romantic and

secluded honeymoon suite set in abundant gardens and sheltered by aged oak trees. Each luxury accommodation

has conceded to every modern convenience whilst unique, restored (mostly by Richard) antiques, retain the

Victorian feel of the Manor House and a bygone era.

The Manor House itself boasts the most exquisite light and airy conservatory, which Richard built in true English

style, a cosy fire-lit bar and lounge, an intimate dining room and a typical country kitchen. The warmth of the original

wooden floors, ceilings and doors coupled with many quirky antique pieces creates a wonderful welcoming

ambience and guests are encouraged to ‘kuier’* here.

Meals are made with love and served with true Schoone Oordt flair and style. The freshest best quality produce from

small local suppliers is sourced as organically and ethically as possible, as well as fresh herbs and occasional veggies

from the garden. Breakfasts are traditionally a gourmet affair and our little country hotel has developed quite a

reputation for them. Complimentary afternoon tea with home-baked savoury and sweet goodies is served

overlooking the garden on sunny summer afternoons. In winter, complimentary snack platters and a warming

welcome drink are offered on arrival. Intimate, delicious dinners are served in The Conservatory Restaurant where

guests can enjoy a carefully prepared, sophisticated South African menu with wines sourced (by Sonette) from the

celebrated verdant regions surrounding Swellendam; Robertson and Hermanus. Talented Chef Wander is well on his

way to building The Conservatory Restaurant into one of the finest of Swellendam Restaurants.

Schoone Oordt Country House has been created with a vision for Swellendam weddings and special occasions.

Choose from the intimate and private boardroom with views of the mountains, the sun-drenched conservatory

overlooking the grounds or the cosy, slightly more formal dining room in the grand old house. She is truly an

extraordinary venue for an exclusive occasion filled with laughter and love...

The Swellendam area offers guests an abundance of activities. Hiking, horse-trails, bike-trails, watersports as well as

visits to the nearby Nature Reserves are a must. A trip to the De Hoop Nature Reserve for seasonal whale watching

cannot be missed, a short journey over the Tradouw’s Pass to quadbike in Barrydale as well as a day trip wine-tasting

in the Robertson Wine Valley. Along with a nine-hole golf course, quaint coffee shops, the renowned Drostdy

museum, berry & lavender-picking, good restaurants and a feast of art, Swellendam spoils its visitors for choice.

Schoone Oordt Country House is a gracious old dame with heart and soul and she invites you to visit... soon...

* Lovely Afrikaans word for visiting, drinking, eating, chatting, gossiping and enjoying time with people you love.
