My wife and I stayed at Swartberg Country Manor for two nights as part of our honeymoon. We were welcomed by Jan, the owner, who immediately made us feel at home. The atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly. This guest house is a hidden gem. It is situated in the shadow of the Swartberg mountains - with majestic panoramic views... more

We stayed here for one night as a stop-over and that is probably all I would recommend it for. As a previous person has written the accommodation is so far out of Oudtshoorn that we didn't really have an option to travel for dinner so we agreed to eat in the restaurant. That turned out to be a big mistake.... more

Spent a couple of nights here at this very comfortable guest lodge off the beaten track. Beautiful location with stunning mountain views. A real highlight was an after dinner star star gazing tutorial courtesy of Rudi, one of the the Manor staff. Accommodation was clean and well presented and food was homecooked and in plentiful portions. Considerably better than your... more

My husband and I spent a week at Swartberg Manor in 2006 which also formed part of our honeymoon. We toured around for our honeymoon and I can say in all honesty that our time at Swartberg Manor is the one that we will never forget! First of all the warm welcome by the hosts, Jan and Barbara Bester made... more

My family and I went to Swartberg Manor for a week in 2006. We found it to be a relaxing, rejuvenating experience. The first thing that struck us upon arrival, was the spectacular views of the Swartberg Mountains. We stayed in rooms in the old, beautifully renovated farmhouse. We loved the ambiance and character of the place. It had lovely... more

Booked this hotel after reading previous Trip Advisor reviews. The location is spectacular but it is 46KM out of Oudtshoorn and takes a good 30 mins to reach from town as is the last tun off before Cango Caves and then left again before thw Swartberg Pass. The rooms in the Manor house are modern and rather bland and boring... more

On a roadtrip from Stellenbosch to Graaff Reinet, Oudtshoorn is practically halfway. We thus decided to stay only one night at the Swartberg Country House and Manor. Looking back at just this fact we wished we would have stayed longer. The location of the hotel is just breathtaking. Attractions in the area are of course oudtshoorn and the cango caves... more

My wife and I stayed here for a nite, as part of our drive from Cape Town to PE in June 07. The location of this guesthouse is breathtaking, with the Swartberg mountains all around, and it feels very remote, a real African experience, and very cheap. The staff were pleasant, especially Rudy, who gave some great advice on where... more

This country manor locates in the "middle of nowhere", but they have just fantastic views and opportunities for hiking and other outdoor activities. The house itself is not very big but at least our room was just ok, clean and comfortable. The best thing is the host Rudy, who was very helpful and offered opportunity to star gazing (ans knew... more
