The Garden Route, South Africa

Rothman Manor

Luxury Cape Dutch Oasis with African Inspiration

Step into picturesque peace here at Rothman Manor in the Garden Route’s gorgeous Swellendam town. Dating back to 1834, this Cape Dutch property is made up of three luxury thatched houses set in manicured gardens among a small nature reserve.

With just six stylish rooms and wonderful hosts, the ambience here is friendly and laid-back. All guestrooms boast complete modern comfort and are adorned with touches of African artwork; while some feature patios and pool views, others enjoy their own sundeck and separate lounge area.

With resident zebra and springbok and those spectacular mountain views, Rotham Manor is wrapped in a wildlife-rich setting. Take in these gorgeous vistas as you relax in the pool or jacuzzi after a day of exploring the area on horseback.
