Swartberg Country Manor

We loved our stay the room was extremely comfortable with a lovely bath and views of the Swartberg mountain. The pool was great to cool off and we had 2 incredible suppers at Patat restaurant, the staff were so helpful. Great way to celebrate our 20 year anniversary.

Should you visit Oudtshoorn, Swartberg Country Manor is the place to stay! The people are exceptionally friendly, the service superb and the view of the mountains breathtaking!

Ondanks dat we al bijna 50 jaar zijn getrouwd, bewoonden wij Sienie, de bruidsuite. Wat afgelegen, zeer rustig met uitzicht op de wijngaarden, fruitbomen, bergen en wat schapen. Heerlijk, koele, schone en mooie kamer. Zalige buitendouche met het geweldige uitzicht. Een hottub (niet gebruikt) maakt het compleet met een eigen terras met zalige buitenbank. Het zwembad is mooi, lekkere ligbedden en leuke stoelen. De prachtige tuin is voorzien van veel zitjes. Het restaurant met de welluidende naam “Patat” serveert een overheerlijk ontbijt met een ruime keuze. Wij aten er ook ‘‘s avonds en het diner was goed op een leuk terras met zicht op de tabaksplanten. De bediening is vriendelijk, sympathiek en ook efficiënt. Zeer zeker een aanrader

We arrived at Swartberg Country Manor after a long drive from Cape Town, jumped out of the car and threw ourselves into the swimming pool with a tall glass of deliciousness. Luckily, I had a friend who had arrived earlier, checked us into the manor house and had put in our order for dinner at Patat Restaurant. We lazed like lizards on the comfy pool loungers and sunned ourselves in the gentle late afternoon rays. We headed back to our rooms to get ready for dinner, and I nearly didn’t make it out as I flopped down onto my fabulously comfortable king size bed and struggled to leave it. Our rooms were luxuriously appointed, the decor stylish while in keeping with the period of the building. The rooms were all slightly different, some a little bigger, some a little smaller, some with slightly different views, but each one offered a unique, comfortable and lush feel. The property is surrounded by gardens where fresh herbs, vegetables, flowers and fruit abound. It is an oasis of calm and tranquility, the perfect place to feed the soul… and the belly! Dean, Dylan, Morne, Riaan and Leoni all took wonderful care of us and no request was too much for them. They even let me help myself to a tray of delicious figs straight from the garden (happy husband!). Make sure to take a round route when visiting Swartberg Country Manor and stop in at Kruisrivier Gallery to see the wonderful works of Roger Young, his pictures tell a thousand stories.

Wonderful one night stay, pity it was not longer! Stayed in the honeymoon cottage, which was very special!

Stunning views and stay at Swartberg Our family stayed at Swartberg Country Manor for one night in February. The first thing that greeted us was the beautiful grounds, and restaurant with a stunning view of the mountain. Then we saw a beautiful historic house with a big old stoep; here we enjoyed 3 very comfortable rooms. And let me not forget the kind and professional staff, including their head chef who made the most wonderful 3 course dinner! A gem! Thank you for a lovely stay.
