Moolmanshof Bed And Breakfast

Moolmanshof Bed And Breakfast is a National Heritage Building and a classic example of an H-Shaped Cape Dutch style farmhouse, said to be the oldest house still standing in Swellendam. It is situated on the last remaining hectare of the old farm. Lizette Hendry, the host, has lovingly restored this old gem into a charming and comfortable guest house, with the password to enter being "RELAX".

The Manor House contains 3 bedrooms, all en-suite, and a dining room with an old yellow wood stable door with cast iron hinges. The old stables have been converted into 3 self-catering units. The gardens offer a delightful experience, with unexpected signs, gorgeous flowering bushes, a personable scarecrow, and ancient trees luring visitors down verdant pathways. Visitors can also cool off and relax in the private little swimming pool under the oaks, watching little owlets peering from their nest. The house is set back from Voortrek Street, Swellendam's main road, previously known as "Die Ou Kaapse Wapad" (The Old Cape Wagon Road).

One of the rooms features a queen-size four-poster bed, an en-suite bathroom with a Victorian bath, a fan, a heater, and a tea and coffee tray. Breakfast is available upon request at a cost of R160, but it is not served on Sundays.
