The Victorian style parsonage which is a National monument built in 1904 and was home to the various ministers serving the old Mission church next door until 1972. Here in Swellendam the majestic Langeberg mountains embrace you while the long lazy summer evenings entertain you with spectacular sunsets and sweet scents from our garden.

Come and experience modern luxury in the two Victorian-style rooms situated on the top floor of the historic manor house. In addition, the self-catering Garden Cottage offers three en-suite rooms with garden views - each with a private entrance. Take a stroll in our lush gardens, look out for the Cape dwarf chameleon and Sunbirds, as well as many other bird species. Observe the Koi fish in the pond at the Garden Cottage, or simply relax at the swimming pool with a classic novel from our library.

Scrumptious breakfasts and warm hospitality with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere will entice you to linger longer. Our personal attention will ensure your stay is a memorable one.

  • Great stay and lovely hosts

    We spend a lot of time on the road, but seldom do we see such lovely hosts! Every detail was perfect, it started raining in the night, and we found umbrellas at our doorstep to walk to breakfast! Breakfast is served in a beautiful room, and is delicious. Definitely coming back 😄
