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

We stayed in the self catering associated with the Moolmanshof, it's called the Bo-Kapie. We got in late at night and no-one was there to meet us. The keys were left under a rock. One room was so mildewy couldn't bear sleeping there so we call piled into the family unit which was clean but somewhat oddly furnished - there... 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

Lorraine and Hilda made us so welcome, nothing was to much trouble. From the amazing and beautifuly presented breakfast, to the advice on where to visit they did all they could to make our 2 nights very special. We had the run of the house and we were encouraged to make ourselves at home, they even had the car washed... More
