Spectacular food. Three course breakfast is included in the room price. Nice touches like homemade scones and watermelon juice on arrival. Very accommodating staff and owner.

Nothing not to like really, pool slightly on the chilly side, but still enjoyable to swim in considering towards the end of summer

The owners and staff were lovely. Made you feel very welcome and the food was excellent. Property restored over many years with love. We would definitely stay again. If you like Koi Carp, you will love the fish!! To look at that is, not eat 😄

Gorgeous old building, renovated beautifully. The grounds and the rooms away from the main house (where we were) were absolutely lovely. Extremely friendly atmosphere we met both the owners who were lovely and the rest of the staff were so warm and helpful. The conservatory restaurant is the show stopper though. Such a beautiful room and utterly spectacular food. From our research it feels like a lot of people stop in Swellendam for a break on the way to garden route but this is a worth a night or two for sure !!

We loved our stay here. It was stunning with just so much character. We had no concerns with our stay. However, I will use this space to ensure people realise that this is a country house with lots of classic luxury features. This requires a refined taste for people to enjoy. We loved it so make sure you check out the decor before you stay to ensure it is to your taste.

A really lovely Country House with lots of character. Excellent fine dining food and an incredible three course breakfast. The rooms had a lot of character. The team managing the house were fantastic, they have good attention to detail and professionalism whilst also demonstrating plenty of character.

We were really looking forward to staying at the Schoone Oordt and on arrival we were not disappointed. Staff gave us a very warm welcome and assisted us with our luggage and showed us to our room. The room was huge and very tastefully decorated. The bathroom was a good size too with his and hers sinks, a shower and a bath. The room was very comfortable, clean and inviting. We took breakfast on both days which was very nice and also booked for dinner on one evening, which was also very good. This was a fabulous place to stay and was very quiet. The entire property is clearly very much loved and is furnished with all sorts of unusual bits and pieces. We would definitely stay again when next in the area.

An exceptionally comfortable place to relax and enjoy the beautiful town with an excellent location. The staff go above and beyond to make us feel like special guests. The rooms have great privacy and the grounds have plenty of options to walk around or take a swim.
