We stayed at Schoone Oordt on the last night of a short road trip through the Western Cape. This beautiful country house is such a treat - with spacious, charmingly furnished rooms overlooking the large gardens with fountains, Khoi pond, and large pool with loungers. It's within easy walking distance of Swellendam's Historic Mile, has a cosy little bar and fabulous conservatory restaurant. I loved it. Will definitely go back, and stay longer next time!

A relaxing stay in a historical home that's full of old world charm. Alison and team are so welcoming and helpful and it felt as if our every need was attended to with warmth and friendliness. The rooms are cosy and well-appointed, the food (breakfast and the hotel's superb dinner offering) was sublime and the scenery – even in midwinter – was so beautiful. We felt as if our two-day stay lingered in the most pleasurable manner – truly a recharge for mind, body and appetite!

Alison and her staff are incredibly welcoming, friendly, attentive, and professional. The property and rooms are warm, comfortable, and beautifully decorated with antiques. Everything was spottles and of high quality. Not only a nice destination for summer days – it is as well perfect for a cozy winter retreat -the fireplaces are lid! The food was delicious, freshly prepared, and served with care - every meal was a treat! Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Schoone Oordt, from the beauty of the place, the gorgeous and most delicious food to the warm welcome of Richard, Allison and their team, everything was perfect. The family suite is stunning and very comfortable, the house itself is so special with its beautiful conservatory, cosy bar and sitting room, what a gem! Highly recommended

Um hotel muito charmoso que remete ao passado. Desde a recepção até a saída todos muito atenciosos. Os mimos preparados ao retornar parar o quarto, como lareira acesa, bolsa de água quente na cama e trufas encantam. O café da manhã é pra lá de especial, uma verdadeira experiência gastronômica. Adoramos 😍🤩

Werkelijk een prachtig hotel , ongelofelijk gastvrij ! Ontvangst met scones en koffie! Open haard knapperend aan op iedere kamer. Super gezellige bar / herenkamer. Fantastisch diner, en in de ochtend een ontbijt a la carte waar je minimaal een uur voor uit moet trekken !! Gastvrijheid met 10 sterren op alle vlakken!
