    Lovely experience

    rating06 Jun 2026

    I really enjoyed staying at Schoone Oordt - the personal approach in this family-run hotel, and genuine care of the owner Alison and her team were special! The highlights for me were a roaring fireplace and a dinner platter waiting for me in my room, upon arrival after a long drive. And waking up to my vehicle washed and pampered after hours on dusty Karoo roads! The hotel is lovely and elegant, and also perfectly positioned to explore Swellendam on foot. Alison also holds dinners and special events, such as murder mystery adventure dinners, at her hotel that I wish to one day attend! I can only recommend it!

    Beautiful hotel., the staff are wonderful and the hospitality was second to none. Well appointed room , everything you’d need to make your stay perfect. Take an adapter if you’re from the Uk. There is a good hairdryer provided and plug sockets are near the mirrors Breakfast was a pleasure and washing the car was an extra treat Thank you for a wonderful stay Alison Walker, Owner at Schoone Oordt Country House, responded to this review Fantastic feedback!

    Unforgettable stay

    rating10 May 2026

    A beautiful boutique hotel. Large rooms, very comfortable. The food in the restaurant was superb, and so were the staff, Carel and Michelle. Going out of their way to make sure all needs are met. We also met the owner and she is just as amazing. Only mistake we made, was to stay for just one night. Swellendam is a lovely little town. Next time we will add an extra night. Alison Walker, Owner at Schoone Oordt Country House, responded to this review Thank you so much for mentioning that one night is not enough! We couldn't agree more.Thank you, too, for this fantastic review. We love it and we loved visiting with you.See you son (for two nights! :))Love from us to you.

    An experience to behold

    rating02 May 2026

    Staying here was an experience. An experience of warmth, quality and passion. We felt this was our best stay during our garden route drive. Thank you for thinking about the “small things” which made a real difference. And thanking you for making us feel special celebrating our wedding anniversary. Highly recommended Alison Walker, Owner at Schoone Oordt Country House, responded to this review This is such high praise and we are thrilled indeed! Thank you! Thank you!Don't need to wait for another wedding anniversary to visit again, right? :)Come back and see us soon.Much love.

    Brilliant Stay

    rating01 May 2026

    We had only one night at Schoone Oordt Country House but what a stay! From the moment we arrived we were treated like old friends and made to feel very welcome. The accommodation is luxurious and indulgent, attention to detail is perfect. Loved the cafetiere for coffee in our room and the afternoon drinks by the pool. Dinner was perfect and the atmosphere was like an old fashioned house party. Breakfast was on another level, a feast meaning no lunch required. All topped off as we watched our car being washed before departure. Alison is a delight and already feels like an old friend. If we make it back to South Africa we wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Alison Walker, Owner at Schoone Oordt Country House, responded to this review Absolutely LOVED this review! Have made it our favourite. Thank you so much for taking the time and for your beautiful energy. You've filled our souls and warmed out hearts and we so look forward to visiting with you again.Much love from all of us to you.
