A beautiful place with a very high taste for the decoration. Franziska is also a very good painter and you will appreciate the different painting across Rothman's. Andreas is running this luxury B&B with efficience in a very peaceful atmosphere. You will love the delicious breakfast in a nice breakfast room where you will meet the other guests. At night,...

WOW!!!! Who would have thought a rustic country town can provide such a GEM as Rothman Manor!!! This is one of the all time best bed and breakfast's I have ever stayed at. The young couple owning this stunning place, is friendly, accommodating, artistic and just brilliant. This is not a 5 star establishment - No, it should be a... More

Why didn't we book in here for 2 nights?? I was kicking myself that we didn't. Rothman Manor is the perfect place to unwind and relax from the driving to/from Cape Town along the N2. The weather was perfect which made for a wonderful stay using all the facilities it had to offer. The owners have thought of everything here... More

The location of this guesthouse is stunning and the luxury room we had on the ground floor took your breath away. The owners were very helpful with an evening meal recommendation, and the tranquil gardens with the beautiful pond and grounds looking over the zebras and springbok made it something special. If you need to stop in the Swellendam area... More

We went back after a great experience last year. This time we had the upstairs loft suite for two days. It was really wonderful. Lots of room and everything is tastful and thought of. The lush gardens with the zebras, pond and deckchairs is a delight and you can relax on your own sun patio if you like, or otherwise... More

We first visited Rothman Manor in 2008 as we travelled back to Cape Town from Plettenberg. It was a wonderful overnight stop and we resolved to re-visit it and spend more time in the Swellendam area. Recently we did go back and stayed 5 nights in February 2013 and were very glad we did. There is so much to see... More

Stayed at Rothman Manor for 4 nights, and I would say it was a memorable experience. The bedrooms where of a very high standard, wonderful breakfasts and beautiful gardens with pool and jakuzi. Also an area with Springbok and Zebra. But what made it a wonderful stay was the owners Franziska and Andreas, a lovely couple, Franziska always had a... More

This was one of the B&Bs our travel agent booked for us on the route from Cape Town to Plettenberg. From the road it looks like a group of small cottages in beautifully tended gardens and it didn't disappoint. Our hosts were charming and very helpful, providing advice on local attractions. Breakfast was exactly what we wanted, lots of fruit... More

We have visited Rothman Manor many times. It was recommended by friends about 7 years ago and we have had no hesitation in recommending to other friends. Many people stop here when travelling The Garden Route and I have heard on countless occasions 'I wish we were staying longer'. I urge you to stay for more than one night, you... More

Our room was spacious and luxurious. The breakfast was outstanding and the owners could not do enough to make our staying very memorable. The garden and pool were magical, especially the pond with lotus and water lily plants in full bloom. A very special stay.
