Food is very much part of the Schoone Oordt experience.

Our meals are made with love, passion and a real respect for beautiful ingredients. Think honest country food with a refined touch, full of flavour and served with that unmistakable Schoone Oordt flair.

We are particularly particular about where our ingredients come from too, choosing to support small local artisans, growers and suppliers wherever we can. Being in the heart of the Overberg, surrounded by some of the country’s finest produce, certainly makes that a joy.

Warmer days are calling, and our pool is ready to welcome the season!

There's nothing quite like sunshine, a refreshing dip and spending a beautiful afternoon in the gardens at Schoone Oordt. We're looking forward to the longer, warmer days ahead and welcoming our guests to enjoy a little time outdoors.

Here's to sunshine and the lovely season ahead!

Breakfast at Schoone Oordt is never just breakfast!

We've become rather well known for our gourmet breakfasts, and it's something we take great pride in. Three courses (although some say four!), lovingly prepared with the same passion and attention to detail that goes into everything we do.

Beautifully prepared food, fresh ingredients and a little morning indulgence. We can't think of a better way to start your day!

We look forward to spoiling you!

There’s something special about cooking with what’s grown and produced close to home.

At The Conservatory Restaurant at Schoone Oordt, we love celebrating the abundance of our beautiful part of the world. Fresh, seasonal ingredients, locally sourced and thoughtfully prepared to bring out the very best of each season.

For us, good food is about more than what’s on the plate. It’s about knowing where it comes from, celebrating our local producers and sharing the flavours of the Overberg with everyone who joins us at our table.

We look forward to welcoming you.

There’s so much to discover around Schoone Oordt that one or two nights never feels quite enough.

Stay a little longer and give yourself time to explore beyond Swellendam too. One of our favourite little outings is a drive up the Tradouw Pass to Barrydale for a milkshake at the famous Diesel & Crème.

Beautiful scenery, a good road trip and something delicious waiting at the other end. Exactly the kind of day that makes a longer stay worthwhile.

Dinner at The Conservatory is one of those lovely parts of a stay at Schoone Oordt.

Our on-site restaurant is an intimate space filled with natural light, where Alison creates seasonal menus inspired by the produce and flavours of our region.

Locally sourced ingredients are paired with beautiful w**es from Swellendam and neighbouring areas including Robertson, Barrydale and Malgas, making each dinner feel connected to this special part of the Western Cape.

Come hungry and settle in for an evening of good food, good w**e and warm hospitality.

“It feels like reliving an experience in an elegant 19th-century house. The reception, common areas and central dining room breathe the beautiful charm of bygone days. Kindness, attention to detail, breakfast and dinner are top-notch.

The owner tells her story with such enthusiasm and shares how she created this place with a love that will never end. I spent only one night, and that was the mistake. I should have stayed longer. It feels like home.”

What a lovely review to receive. We’re so grateful when guests notice the history, the details, the food and, most of all, the heart behind Schoone Oordt.

Thank you for staying with us. We hope next time it will be for a little longer.
