Luxury Guest Farm accommodation at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains near Oudtshoorn in the Klein Karoo.

Swartberg Country Manor is nestled on the farm “Voorbedacht”. The panoramic views of the Swartberg Mountains from the veranda will bring comfort to anyone wanting to “get away from it all” and simply soak up the peace of its tranquil surroundings.

Surrounding Swartberg Country Manor are working farms, which offers our guests the opportunity to see subsistence farming in the Little Karoo. Among the various products farmed, are 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.

Enjoy our exquisite warm summer days by relaxing next to the swimming pool whilst enjoying a refreshing beverage served from the bar.

A good restaurant Patat, serves traditional South African food with influences from Portugal, Malaysia and Holland. Delicious picnics can be arranged.

There is secure parking, a laundry service, room service and free WiFi.
