The country road winds past vineyards and orchards to Klippe Rivier, a magnificent Cape Dutch Country House, circa 1820, on the outskirts of historic Swellendam, two hours from Cape Town and the Garden Route. A warm, friendly welcome awaits.
Once the family home of Presidents Steyn and Reitz, recall the gracious past with its spacious voorkamer and reception rooms where gleaming yellowwood floors enhance beautiful antiques. The original 'waenhuis' and stables have been converted into luxury air-conditioned bedrooms preserving much of the original ambience. Downstairs, spacious bedrooms each have an open fireplace, dressing room and generous bathroom with separate shower and toilet. Loft rooms upstairs under thatch offer mountain views and have private balconies. A secluded cottage is ideal for honeymooners.
Relax at the saltwater pool and enjoy the company of owls in the oaks. At the end of the day sample excellent country cuisine and Cape wines in the peace of the farm. South Africa's first TGCSA 5-star Country House. Awarded the Fair Trade in Tourism SA (FTTSA) Trademark. Graded Prestige and Luxury in Portfolio Retreats and Country Places Collection. German spoken.
