Schoone Oordt Country House is a charming country hotel in Swellendam South Africa, possibly the best of Swellendam accommodation, with 10 luxury bedrooms set in lush gardens, an intimate Conservatory restaurant, a sparkling saltwater pool and a passion for people, family, food, wine and the environment. The emphasis here is on unpretentious, unaffected luxury, elegance, quality and acute attention to detail.

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 Ian Clulow, Fidiney Runesu, Lana Schreiber and a wonderful team of passionate and committed people. As a result, she has been instilled with charm and grace and she adores welcoming guests.

Her extensive grounds house eight 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 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 where guests can enjoy a carefully prepared, sophisticated South African menu with wines sourced from the celebrated verdant regions surrounding Swellendam; Robertson and Hermanus. Talented new Head Chef Obakeng Mholo is continuing in his mentor (Chef Wander)'s shoes to build 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, trail-runs, 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.

Fantastic by

We were made so welcome and the room was so comfortable and luxurious that my only regret was that we had not planned to stay longer than one night. The breakfast was homemade and delicious and the hosts were very friendly.


Fantastic Experience by

Super hosts, luxurious accommodations, and a terrific breakfast.


Great Stay by

What a lovely experience, we had such a relaxing time, with amazing food. The host, Sydney made us feel welcome and attended to our every need. He was exceptional and made the experience a memorable one. We would certainly come back and recommend to stay here.




 I will highly recommend Schooner Oordt Country Lodge. Staff is friendly and make you feel at home at all times. The restaurant serves sumptuous meals and the rooms are of high standard. Beautiful gardens and very peaceful.
