Only gave 5/5 because 6/5 wasn't possible
What can we say other than fabulous stay. The room was amazing as were the staff. Dinner... oone of the best meals ever (no exaggeration). If planning a stay in Swellendam, do yourself a favour and stay here. You won't regret it if only because of the unexpected hot water bottles at turndown and the car being washed before we left!

Wow Wow Wow!
We had a lovely stay during our honeymoon. The hotel is gorgeous and staff faultless! The small touches are what really made this hotel 5 star, from the hot water bottle put under the duvet during the turndown service to the complimentary car clean during breakfast. You don't know what luxury is until you have stayed at Schoone Oordt. Thank you Alison and the team!

6 Star in reality
From the moment you get out of your car, Alison's team are there for you. Welcoming, helpful, diligent and knowledgeable. This is a VERY special place. Though formal in there attentiveness, all the staff are easy to talk to and engaging. All that said, there are two rather demanding permanent residents, Mr Ratchet and Fat-Cat (our name for him), the four legged cushions.
