Jan Harmsgat Country House is a 5 star graded hotel offering Swellendam accommodation in 10 guest rooms.
About Jan Harmsgat Country House
This historic Cape Dutch farmstead near Swellendam offers a unique experience on the R62, a mere 2-hour drive from Cape Town towards the Garden Route and Little Karoo.
The original slave quarters and wine cellar (ca. 1723) lie at the heart of this delightful oasis of exceptional food, ambience and service, set amidst rolling fruit and nut orchards along the and popular Robertson Wine Route.
ACCOMMODATION
Guests are treated to understated elegance and comfort in four voluminous en-suite rooms, replete with authentic yellowwood detail and one-metre thick walls.
The adjoining original wine cellar now provides the setting for lounge, dining area and library, and offers unashamed relaxation and comfort with great views of the majestic Langeberg Mountains. Please see the individual room and suite descriptions (with photographs) to assist you with your choice.
DINING
We have a fine-dining restaurant on-site for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as we grow our own produce for the table.
ATTRACTIONS
Jan Harmgat Country House is the perfect setting from which to explore the abundant delights offered by nearby Montagu (with hot mineral springs), the Breede River, Bontebok Park, Cape Agulhas, the De Hoop Nature Reserve (offering exceptional whale watching in season), and the delightful town of Swellendam itself, the third oldest town in South Africa, and well worth exploring.
For less adventurous souls, or those intent on just a gentle stay-over, there are easy strolls and walks among the orchards - or simply relaxing by the lavender-surrounded pool. Indigenous wildlife such as springbuck, grey rheebuck and ostriches can be seen from an open-vehicle drive on the 680-hectare farm, along with many smaller creatures and birds.
