De Oude Pastorie  

Nestled under the Langeberg Mountains in historic Swellendam, about 220 km from Cape Town along the N2. This 4-star Victorian guesthouse sits in the town centre, minutes from the Dutch Reformed Church, Swellendam Golf Course and the Drostdy Museum. Easy access to Bontebok National Park, Bukkenburg Pottery and nearby hiking trails.

A stately parsonage-turned-guesthouse with landscaped gardens and garden-cottage rooms that have private entrances. Seven air-conditioned rooms feature pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton, minibars, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms—some with deep soaking tubs and bathrobes. Décor leans classic and warm, with owner-prepared touches and daily housekeeping.

Relax in a large salt-based outdoor pool, stroll the terraces and gardens, or unwind in the library and BBQ area. Concierge services, a gift shop/newsstand and an area shuttle (surcharge) add convenience. Free self-parking and an elevator make stays easy — wake up to garden mornings and poolside afternoons.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, express check-in and express check-out, and multilingual staff (English, German, Afrikaans, Dutch). Front desk operates limited hours; roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant serves a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast daily (weekdays 7:30–9:30 AM, weekends 8:00–10:00 AM) using fresh local and garden-grown produce. Ask about BBQ options and locally inspired dishes.
