Moolmanshof, built in 1798, is said to be the oldest house still standing in Swellendam. It is a classic example of a Cape Dutch-style farmhouse and is situated on the last remaining hectare of the original farm.

Moolmanshof comprises 3 double rooms with en-suite bathrooms in the Manor House and self-catering accommodation is also offered in the restored old stables on the farm. Enjoy the privilege of actually sleeping in a National Monument. The manor house has recently been restored and stylishly decorated to offer heritage accommodation with the unpretentious and relaxed atmosphere of a bygone era. It is here where old-world charm meets contemporary comfort.

Stroll around the park-like gardens, relax under the oaks and watch newly hatched owlets peering from their nest or just cool off in the sparkling pool. Scrumptious farm breakfasts are also offered and the restaurant will soon be open for dinner. Moolmanshof Bed and Breakfast is wheelchair friendly and children and pets are most welcome.

The ostensibly touchable mountains are only minutes away. Beautiful hiking trails and two nature reserves along the Koornlands and Breede Rivers, are within walking distance. The fresh air remains unpolluted as Swellendam does not boast industries. The farming community and the inhabitants of Swellendam coexist in close proximity of these beautiful surrounds and the bounty of its crop fields. Needless to say, it is the hospitality of Swellendam that conveys the true spirit of the Overberg.
