The Schoone Oordt Country House is a small, charming, country hotel set in lush gardens in Swellendam, Western Cape. The emphasis here is on unpretentious, unaffected luxury, elegance, quality, love and attention to detail. There is something quite magical about this striking Victorian Manor House. It has been painstakingly and lovingly restored over many years.
Accommodation is offered in 8 Luxury Rooms, a Honeymoon Suite, a Family Suite and a Family Cottage which is more private and separate from other guests. All of the rooms have been magnificently crafted and has conceded to every modern convenience while unique, restored antiques retain the Victorian feel of the Manor House and a bygone era. All rooms are fitted with air-conditioning, a fridge, tea- and coffee-making facilities, satellite TV, electronic safe, underfloor heating, and heated towel rails in the bathrooms. The beds are made up with 100-percent cotton linen, and pure goose down bedding, and embroidered gowns and slippers add to the luxury. The Luxury Rooms and Honeymoon Suite also have wood-burning fireplaces.
The Manor House itself boasts the most exquisite light and airy conservatory, built in true English style, and 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 socialise here. Guests can also take a dip in the sparkling saltwater pool.
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 the little 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.
