Fodor's Expert Review De Kloof Luxury Estate
8 Weltevrede St., Swellendam, Western Cape, 6740, South Africa
In beautifully manicured gardens, De Kloof Luxury Estate is a chic boutique hotel that offers five-star accommodations in one of the town’s oldest Cape Dutch manors. The handsome house, which has been lovingly restored, has original wood ceilings and floors and stylish décor with French flair. The most romantic room is the loft, housed in one of the detached buildings. It's decorated in white and silver, with an exposed thatch roof and a spacious private balcony. Deluxe rooms are in a walled garden and have private patios. The restaurant, 18 Zero One, serves a four-course dinner either inside the dining room or in the garden.
