Swellendam Accommodation / Schoone Oordt Country House Swellendam Accommodation / Luxury Accommodation in Swellendam

Dating back to 1853, Schoone Oordt is a voluptuous, meticulously restored Victorian homestead presiding over 5,000m2 of lush grounds in the quaint farming town of Swellendam. Perfectly positioned between Cape Town and the Garden Route, Swellendam is the ideal stopover or weekend break from the hustle and bustle of the city as well as a destination unto itself.

Schoone Oordt's grounds house eight magnificently crafted, luxurious suites, a romantic honeymoon hideaway and a private, spacious family suite set amongst tranquil fountains, fragrant gardens, manicured lawns and an invigorating salt-water pool. Each room has been fitted with every modern convenience whilst retaining the Victorian feel of the manor house and a bygone era.

accommodation

Positioned around a fragrant rose garden, fountains and a landscaped garden are 8 Luxury Suites that have their own patios, exquisite bathrooms, mini bar, tea / coffee facilities, satellite TV and DVD players.

Handmade linen, goose-down duvets, pure wool carpets, open hearth, under-floor heating and heated towel rails in the bathrooms all add to the luxury. Whilst the Suites retain the Victorian feel of the main house, they are uncluttered and exude luxurious style and elegance.

honeymoon suite
The Honeymoon Suite is private and tucked away on the edge of a lush, shady forest with the Koornlands River gurgling along at it's perimeter. Whilst it has all the delights of the Luxury Suites, the Honeymoon Suite is unashamedly romantic with its large hearth, exquisitely carved four-poster bed and oversized bathroom.

Meals are a delight and made with love at Schoone Oordt. Breakfasts are extensive, delicious and served in the sunlight-filled conservatory in the mornings.
