Mark and Diana offer a unique experience of 5 Star accommodation: unrivalled hospitality, elegant furnishings, understated luxury with emphasis on service and guest satisfaction, and one of the best breakfasts in South Africa.
In a peaceful and secure garden setting, four very spacious and elegant individually decorated rooms are all air conditioned, and furnished with fine handcrafted furniture, antiques and beautiful original paintings, prints and photographs.
A choice of either a sumptuous, English style cooked breakfast or an extensive Continental breakfast, both served with Diana’s jaw-dropping selection of homemade preserves and fresh-from-the-oven muffins.
Comfortable lounge to relax in and meet your hosts and fellow guests.
Recommended restaurants in Swellendam are within easy and safe walking distance. Complimentary regional wine each evening with the hosts and fellow guests. Complimentary lifts to and from restaurants
The three separate spacious, deluxe, air conditioned suites open directly onto a quiet large, private garden where we have over 600 rose bushes, and abundant birdlife.
Relax under the vine-covered pergola with a glass of wine, or recline in your deckchair on the sunny well-manicured lawn.
The grape-vines on the pergola outside the Queen Elizabeth and Double Delight suites are the ornamental type which ensures that during the heat of summer the rooms are well-shaded, but during the cold months the sun has free access to the rooms.
We chose ornamental grapes to avoid the danger of wasps being attracted to the fruit.
What you can expect in your suite...
All our suites have three different types of coffees, several different types of teas, and fresh milk is always available in the refrigerator. Our internationally acclaimed shortbread is renewed daily, as is the locally-grown fruit, the port, and the muscadel (muscadel is the sweet wine loved by early settlers).
All these items are there for your enjoyment at no charge.
