The oldest standing house in Swellendam, built in Cape Dutch style. Rooms had once been stables, all redecorated into lovely rooms, what an experience staying there. Located on the main street but very quiet on the property, beautiful gardens and a little plunge pool. The breakfast in the morning was unforgettable and that with the charming hospitality make it a... More

To enjoy a relaxing stay in a traditional property in a quiet area, this should be your choice. Add in the charming hospitality of your host, Lizette and you have the perfect ingredients to enhance your stay. My wife and I will no doubt return on our next trip from the UK

Staying at Moolmanshof B&B is a unique experience. The house is the oldest house left in Swellendam - construction date 1798 and has been declared a museum. The entire place oozes character and history. The owner Lizette is able to fill you in on the history of the home and of Swellendam and surroundings. Tea or coffee with biscuits is... More

My partner and I were of two very different opinions. The house had charm and history throughout, the grounds were fun to explore, the breakfast may have been the best every and very unique and the hostess (and owner) was wonderful. That being said it was a warm day and the room didn't cool down very much and with no... More

Wonderful five night stay at the Bo Kapie, a chalet that belongs to the Moolmanshof but is situated far more in the centre of Swellendam, at Jansen St. just off Voortrek St.. We stayed as a family (parents, two children and a baby) and it was self-catering. The house is phantastic - from 1833, of course a bit modernized, but... More

From returning from a fabulous safari experience, all our expectations were already satisfied, then we arrived here. Well, we stayed in the annex and our friends (with three children) stayed in the adjoining room, very comfortable indeed. The proprietor, was one of the most helpful and courteous people who I've ever met and we were provided a magnificent breakfast in... More

My partner and stayed at Moolmanshof last Christmas and I can honestly say it was the best! We had one of the little cottages in the grounds which I believe were once stables. Basic but very comfortable with everything you need and fresh flowers in your room most days. There are no TVs, telephones or wifi connections in the cottages... More

This must be one of the best bed & breakfast ever. The historic house has total and absolute charm, rooms have been decorated with great taste, the place really oozes a vintage-luxury atmosphere. The owner is friendliness-in-person and cooks the most beautiful (and tasty!) breakfasts. Safe car parking is available on the premises. The centre of Swellendam is one kilometer... More
