Hello Simone

Rothman Manor is like Paradise on Earth and we enjoyed it as one of the best Hotels on our Trip through SA!Thanks again for your Help with the left items that you send us to Cape Town.We will com back on our next Trip to 🇿🇦👍 And the Car wash was an excellent Idea 😉🙏

In summary :
Good points
Our suite and bathroom were spacious with good outdoor furniture
The outdoor breakfast area is really nice
So is the garden
Secured parking (car wash a bonus)
Friendly staff

Not so good
The noise of the N2 can be bothersome
Though there is a array of choice at breakfast, I thought it was more quantity than quality

We wanted a stopover on route back to Cape Town and took the opportunity to look around Swellendam and visit the nearby Bontebok NP.
I selected Rothbury Manor as it was highly recommended on TA and chose the Suite Africa room, one of two rooms next to the pool and overlooking the magnificent gardens.
Its a traditional Cape Dutch building, whitewashed walls, green windows, doors and other woodwork and the very traditional decorative central gable.
The Suite Africa room is spacious with separate seating area, the bathroom includes and oversized bath and walk in shower, and the shower was great!!! almost as good as I have at home,
Breakfast had a good selection to choose from and was perfectly cooked. First morning served outside on the tree covered patio, but last morning was a bit windy so we chose inside.
The gardens are exceptional for a B&B, large extensive and well landscaped.
It includes a large natural reed and lilly filled pond with nesting weavers plus various other birds grubbing around. The pond and its wet areas plus the many trees attracted Hadada Ibis including an overnight roost together with their early morning wakeup calls.
Also at the end of the garden is a platform that overlooks a field that included Springbok and Zebra, find a B&B anywhere with Springbok.
Finally, and so nice, was the old and now sadly dying out South African tradition of a complimentary car wash.

Highly recommended.
