Description
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 owner managed and run. 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, a sunny, spacious family suite 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.
Schoone Oordt Country House is a gracious old dame with heart and soul and the emphasis is on unpretentious, unaffected luxury, elegance, quality and acute attention to detail. She invites you to visit soon…

Nearby Attractions
- 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 to visit. A trip to the De Hoop Nature Reserve for seasonal whale watching cannot be missed, a short journey over the Tradouw’s Pass to quirky Barrydale as well as a day trip wine-tasting in the Robertson Wine Valley or down to the Breede River. Along with a 9-hole golf course, quaint coffee shops, the renowned Drostdy Museum, berry picking, great restaurants and a feast of art, Swellendam spoils its visitors for choice.
Area Info
Swellendam is steeped in history, architecture, nature, adventure, food and wine and is the perfect stopover on the way to or from the Garden Route.
For those explorative travellers, it is a destination unto itself with enough to keep busy for at least 3 days.
For a diverse view of the countryside, we recommend Cape Town, Swellendam, over the Tradouws Pass to Barrydale, Oudtshoorn and then down the Outeniqua Pass to George, Knysna.
If travelling back to Cape Town, a quick stop in Hermanus is a must.
