About

Schoone Oordt Country House stands as a striking Victorian Manor House in Swellendam, South Africa, lovingly restored by Richard and Alison Walker over many years. The property's extensive grounds house eight luxury rooms, a quaint family cottage, a spacious family suite, and a romantic honeymoon suite set amidst lush gardens sheltered by aged oak trees. Each room is equipped with modern conveniences while retaining the Victorian charm through unique antiques. Guests are invited to relax in the light-filled conservatory, enjoy meals in the intimate dining room, or unwind in the cosy bar. The warmth of original wooden floors and antique pieces creates a welcoming ambience, encouraging guests to 'kuier'—a South African term for casual visiting and socialising.
