Swellendam Country Lodge

Swellendam Country Lodge offers quality accommodation in a stylish and friendly atmosphere. Situated in a beautiful landscaped garden, this is a perfect place to unwind. It provides quality in every detail, coupled with excellent service. The characteristic interior combines a natural, modern style with classic elements.

Secluded in the garden is a large sparkling pool for the warm summer days. Generous breakfasts are served outside on the veranda of the main house, or indoors near the fireplace on a winter morning. For lunch or dinner you can stroll to the terrace of one of the restaurants next door to enjoy their good country food. Other excellent restaurants and shops are nearby.

Swellendam is one of the oldest towns of South Africa and has much to offer. The famous open-air Drostdy Museum, excellent restaurants, shops and art-and-craft projects, charming historical buildings, a beautiful golf course, are just a few examples. On the fringe of the town, you will find the Bontebok National Park and the Marloth Nature Reserve - nature parks that provide various possibilities for hiking, horse riding, and bird watching. Other activities include a visit to the De Hoop Nature Reserve to see the whales, or a drive to the southernmost point of the continent in Cape Agulhas, canoeing on the Breede River, or a day trip through the Little Karoo with its charming rural villages. A wine tasting trip is also recommended - the Robertson Wine Route represents about 50 wineries, from small family owned boutique wineries to medium state-of-the-art estates and large modern wineries.

The 6 comfortable guest rooms are surrounded by yellowwood trees, fruit trees and palms. All rooms have a private veranda overlooking the beautiful garden which attracts a variety of colourful South African birdlife too.

The accommodation is styled with an eye for detail - reed ceilings, natural colours and quality fixtures and fittings. There are 4 well-equipped luxury rooms with a spacious en-suite bathroom. The 2other rooms are standard rooms - comfortable but slightly smaller, and ideally suitable for a shorter stay.
