Schoone Oordt Country House is a small hotel in Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa, arguably 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, children, food, wine and the environment. There is something quite magical about this striking Victorian Manor House. She has been painstakingly and lovingly restored over many years by Richard and Alison Walker and is passionately run by Wander and Sonette Bester. As a result, she has been instilled with charm and grace and she adores welcoming guests. Her extensive grounds house two standard and six luxury magnificently crafted rooms, a quaint, private family cottage and a romantic and secluded honeymoon suite set in lush, 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. The emphasis at Schoone Oordt is on unpretentious, unaffected luxury, elegance, quality and acute attention to detail. She is a gracious old dame with heart and soul and she invites you to visit... soon...
