Fodor's Expert Review Tulbagh Country Guest House

This 200-year-old manor house, on historic Church Street, offers authentic Cape Dutch living with modern amenities. The house has been beautifully restored, and the Cape Dutch style runs through the fittings and decor. Bathrooms feature antique brass finishes and handmade tiles, and the house is decorated with an extensive collection of antiques and South African artwork. This intimate guesthouse has six en-suite rooms, most of which have private access to the garden. The lush, indigenous garden features a courtyard, a covered barbecue terrace, and an inviting swimming pool area with comfy daybeds. A rooftop terrace has uninterrupted views of the valley. Breakfast, a three-course affair, is served in the grand dining room or by an open hearth in the farm-style kitchen.
