The Honeymoon Suite is unashamedly romantic with its large hearth, exquisitely carved four-poster bed and oversized bathroom. It is tucked away on the edge of a shady forest with the Koornlands River, gurgling along its perimeter.

The Family Cottage is at the top end of the property, private, cosy and set apart from other guests. It has 2 extended length single beds in an upstairs loft area accessible by stairs and an extended length king bed for parents downstairs. This room is perfect for families with children aged between 3 and 13. Under 3, the steps may be difficult and over 13... teenagers like more privacy. Note, that we don't hold to this age range. It is ultimately our guests' choice.

The Family Suite is a spacious two-bedroom suite that sleeps 2 adults in an oversized king bed, and up to 4 children in beautiful sturdy bunk beds, with enough room for a cot (pre-booked). It has a private patio area overlooking the circular lawn.

Food is our thing. Meals at Schoone Oordt are made with love and passion. Our country food is respectful of ingredients, unpretentiously fine dining, honestly delicious and served with true Schoone Oordt style and flair. We are particularly particular about ethically sourcing the best produce from small local artisans, suppliers and growers. Being in the Overberg, we sit in the ‘breadbasket’ of the country, so it’s easy.

Our meat comes from Jacques at WildKalahari, our eggs, fresh fruit & veg from Shantal at The Earth Centre, our salmon trout from Alicia at B’Bos Trout, our duck from Kim at Serendipity Homestead, our pork from Richard, Lowerland Farm. Our wines from all over the Overberg, but especially Sijnn, Olivedale, Silverthorn, Joubert-Tradauw, Springfield and we source artisanal rum from Dawid at Afrikanis, tequila from Tim at Three Agave in the klein karoo as well as a massive selection of gins… too many to name here. You’ll have to come and try them for yourself.

We handmake as much as we can (so that we know what’s in it) from our breads, the most delicious cheese biscuits and scones to our chocolate truffles that appear at evening turndown.

We pay particular attention to and are very conscious of dietary requirements. There are already vegan, vegetarian, lactose-free and gluten-free options on the menu and we can exclude nuts if necessary. Note that our kitchen uses a lot of these ingredients in daily practice, so please do mention any serious allergies beforehand though so that we may be properly prepared.

We are thrilled to say that The Conservatory at Schoone Oordt has grown from strength to strength over the years and we can proudly stand as one of the top Swellendam Restaurants.
