Not impressed. No hot water for nearly two days. Fridges that don't get cold and no braai facilities. All of us were also bitten by something that wasn't mosquito's. The staff were friendly and efficient though.

Settler style lodge, great grounds with zebra and springbok in an enclosure at the end. Also, a pond with lots of weaver birds. Breakfast was good, the staff very helpful and informative. Room was an open suite, large and well equipped. About 3 minutes drive from the centre of Swellendam

This hotel is a gem. It is located a the outskirts of Swellendam near some restaurants in two historic early 19th century buildings. It is surrounded by a beautiful garden with springboks and a zebra. There is a small pool. A great breakfast is served. All is very clean.

The staff were lovely and helpful and the facility was nice and comfortable. Breakfast was included and they were extremelv kind to accommodate any type of diet. It's a pretty property and feels safe. The location is also good, and there is a reasonable restaurant next door for dinner. There was nothing to dislike to be honest. The only thing is that there isn't much to do in Swellendam itself, and the load shedding didn't help.

We only stayed here for one night on our way to Knysna, and our host at Rothman Manor made it as comfortable as possible. The rooms are really lovely and the attention to detail is fantastic. We have large one on the second floor, It really feels that they are trying their absolute best to make your stay as relaxing as possible. We had a very tasty dinner in Woodpecker Italian restaurant next to Manor and breakfast was gougious.

Sadly we cannot agree with the previous outstanding reviews and were very disappointed. The Rothman Manor in Swellendam was below par, with Chantelle? hurriedly checking us in. Quickly showing us the various keys and time for breakfast. TV was all in German, hot tub???; lounge??; help with cases??; NO information although we did find a booklet in the room as we were leaving!! We could find no information on load shedding timetable nor password. We were looking forward to chilling out after the drive from Fanschhoek but did not feel very welcome and only one person running the manor was inadequate as she was just too busy to pay attention to detail. Couldn’t find her to ask any questions. Rothman Manor is certainly not first class and a huge disappointment. Fortunately we did find a lovely restaurant, Drotsky, in Swellendam in the evening.…

This is a most stunning location and the perfect place to unwind after a long drive along the garden route. The grounds are luscious and immaculate and the zebra and springbok are the icing on the cake. There is also a lot of bird life here - perfect if you are into photography. The rooms are spacious and clean. - all areas are beautifully decorated. This place is perfection! I would highly recommend and would definitely book to stay here again.

Lovely spacious room, nicely decorated with local art pieces, large bathroom . Bed is firm with nice bedding . Our room overlooked the large Lilly pond. Having the zebra and buck in the fields is lovely. Breakfast was nice. You have to use a streaming service for television.
