Swartberg Country Manor is nestled on the farm "Voorbedacht" situated in the Cango Valley at the foot of the Swartberg Pass. The main farmhouse was converted into a comfortable guesthouse that offers 9 en-suite guest rooms, we have also renovated the original farmhouse (dated 1864) to offer a further 5 en-suite guest rooms.

Meals are served in our spacious dining room or on the "stoep" (veranda) overlooking the spectacular Swartberg Mountains. For those exquisite warm summer days, traditional South African delicacies will be prepared outside on open fires next to the swimming pool, along with refreshing beverages served from the bar.

"Voorbedacht" 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.

Rates: please contact us for details

Important notice: Swartberg Country Manor does not have any family rooms, the children will be provided with a temporary bed (mattress) in the parent’s rooms.

Additional Extras:

Dinner:     

Patat Restaurant; although a season fresh ala carte menu is always available, Sunday Buffets is a Must!  Limited reservations ensure that the atmosphere remains "homely" and the hand selected wines compliments every special occasion.  Each buffet has an enchanting element of patat (sweet potato), whilst the daily Chef's Specials are not to be missed.

Stargazing: 

In the hands of your skilled guides, and under starlit Karoo skies you will experience a life changing and spell bound one hour "tour" through the Southern Hemisphere's Celestial - "High Five." Learn more about the most prominent stars, planets, constellations, galaxies and globular clusters.
