Proclaimed a National Monument in 1983, the core of this Victorian house originally built in the Cape Dutch style, dates back to the 18th century. It forms part of a group of historical buildings situated in the oldest part of Swellendam. Closely associated with the nearby Drostdy Museum - one of the finest museums in the Western Cape, it is reputed to have been the stable, coach house and saddler's dwelling serving the Drostdy complex.

We believe we have the most spectacular views of the "Moederkerk" one of South Africa's most photographed churches and the magnificent Langeberg mountains in this friendly and relaxed town.

There is a salt water swimming pool - ideal for cooling off when it's hot - and a lovely secluded garden with many fine specimen trees, shrubs, indigenous plants such as cannas, and aloes. It too has beautiful views of the Langeberg mountains.

We look forward to welcoming you to our home, where our aim is to provide not only an atmosphere of peaceful informality in comfortable surroundings, but to make your stay as enjoyable and relaxing as possible.
