Good place to stop in Swellendam

Review of Rothman Manor
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 11 Oct 2023
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
Date of stay: September 2023
Room Tip: Too far to walk to most restaurants, but there a few nearby
Trip type: Travelled as a couple

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.

Room tip: This property is suitable for people who wish to stay in one place as there’s nothing to do in town. There’s a pool for the warmer months.

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.

We only stayed here for one night on our way to Plettenberg, but the team at Rothman Manor made it as comfortable as possible. The rooms are really lovely and the attention to detail is fantastic. It really feels that they are trying their absolute best to make your stay as relaxing as possible.

Room tip: The town is very sweet and there’s a great pizza restaurant right next door, and lots more in town.
