Swartberg Country Manor is nestled on the farm "Voorbedacht" situated in the Cango Valley at the foot of the world-renowned Swartberg Pass. The picturesque panoramic view of the Swartberg Mountains will bring comfort to anyone that wants to "get away from it all" and simply soak up the peace of its tranquil surroundings.The farm was purchased in 2003 and welcomed its first guests in February 2005. The extraordinary views of the Swartberg Mountain from the veranda of the original farmhouse compelled us to create a venue where more people could share in the tranquillity and serenity of this beautiful valley."Voorbedacht" farm is a working farm, which offers our guests the unique opportunity to explore and experience the true essence of subsistence farming in the Little Karoo. Among the various agricultural products farmed, we also farm livestock such as, cattle, sheep and ostriches. Daily walks on the farm allow guests to experience the peace and serenity of this beautiful valley, while for the more "wild at heart"; mountain bikes are available to explore the more rugged terrain.

Nice stay in beautiful surroundings. Lovely staff, welcoming, and a really nice diner in Patat restaurant. The honeymoon cottage was a nice and secluded little building, with a hottub. (Allow 2 hours to heat the water in the hottub!)

The Swartberg Country Manor is a beautiful place in an impressive environment. We enjoyed the tranquility and the views, an ideal place to relax. The rooms are nicely decorated in a modern style with a good taste and comfortable beds. The bathrooms are pretty spacious and the WiFi was good. The highlight of our stay.was the restaurant. We had breakfast and dinner there and enjoyed it very much. .. Everything was fresh and mostly homemade - including the delicious bread. We can highly recommend this very special place.

Swartsberg Country Manor is a beautiful location and has a truly excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinner. We had the Honeymoon cottage with an outside shower and hot tub, although the hot tub took too long to heat up for us to use it.

We have stayed at the Swartberg Country Manor twice. I can only praise the experience. The accommodation is lovely, staff amazing and the setting a hidden gem. The food at Patat their onsite restaurant is worth staying on the premises for. I highly recommend a stay at this establishment. We will be back for a longer stay.

This was my second time at the Country Manor. Once again, it turned out to be a pleasant stay. The accommodation, food and service were all really great. Additionally, Rian, Leoni and their whole team went above and beyond to accommodate my adventures in the area. If one is looking for a place to feel pampered, have good food and generally get to unwind and get back to self, look no further :-)

Incredible experience from start to finish! The setting was amazing, particularly coming from someone who has been based in the city for the entirety of his life span. This experience had that authentic getaway feel with the long open roads and vast landscapes which despite being jolted with the cold climate, had perfect warming spots at all points of leisure from the dining rooms to the bedrooms (shout out to electric blankets). The manor staff were extremely friendly and accommodating and always on hand to assist with any and all inquiries. The food was immaculate! Overall, extreme value for money. The only fault is that I wish I could have stayed longer!

I arrived on an icy night with snow on the Swartberg mountain peaks. I was welcomed warmly on arrival. This picturesque manor house is an oasis and Leoni is an outstanding hostess. The restored historical dwelling and cottages are beautifully furnished. I loved my charming hotel room. The quality linen, mattress and towels ensured a blissed and blessed in-room experience. The dinner at Patat restaurant was world class, with local, flavoursome cuisine made with fresh ingredients and excellent service by Dene & Dylan. At breakfast time, Morné was at hand to serve me with home-made bread, generous, tasty dishes and superb coffee and juice. Iconic dinner and breakfast! I was reluctant to leave - snow was capping teh dramatic mountains and the views were panoramic. Ideal for an authentic stay combined with professional yet personal service.…

We stayed here overnight as part of a tour of the Cape. The hotel was in a great location with fantastic views. The room had a great view and was very clean, the food at the evening meal and breakfast was good. It was late May when we stayed with short days. They had only just installed lights in the rooms to cope with the load sharing and unfortunately the power was of in the morning for our early start, heat short be provided at this time of year for early starts, it may have been sorted by now. We enjoyed our stay
