Quick description :
Beautifully situated within a natural environment, this magnificent Cape Dutch style homestead dates from circa 1820 and offers diverse bird life, secluded cottages with tranquil views and traditionally designed accommodation.
The spacious and luxurious rooms house fine antiques and authentic floors, some are under thatch and some contain fireplaces. There is a saltwater pool, sublime country cuisine and the wine route nearby.
The picturesque town of Swellendam is only two hours from Cape Town and the Garden Route. Enjoy watching the birds from a peaceful bench at the water's edge where "hides" have been created, stroll to the gum trees at the top of the farm and for the more energetic, take the gravel road which leads to the Breede Rivier. Other activities can be arranged independently. Swellendam offers a range of sporting facilities including golf, glider flips and whale watching flights, as well as water sking.
