Rest, history, and fresh flowers in the rooms.
The atmosphere at Moolmanshof is one of tranquility. The house is laid out for comfort but retains the sense of history in many aspects. The rooms make you feel like you've walked into a fairy tale, but with the modern joys of coffee and WiFi. The shared kitchen is well equipped and offers you the opportunity to prepare a meal that you can enjoy in the garden or dining room. Truly a gem in Swellendam!

We had a wonderful stay. Everything we needed was available and the owner just a phone call away. The history of the house and the surroundings was an experience. We experienced several load shedding periods and would have appreciated more light, especially outside where the vehicles were parked. Despite the two hours of darkness per night, we did not feel unsafe in any way. We will definitely stay there again.

A wonderful, historic and authentic guest house, excellently furnished and living up to the expectations of being taken back to the past.
This excellent restored house offers a special example of our history and to be able to experience and experience the atmosphere first hand will always stay with us. Because the building is so old, it needs a lot of maintenance to be up to standard. The bathroom of the bedroom to the left of the entrance is not up to standard (small, no cabinets and heels). An electric fan can easily be added to circulate the afternoon and evening heat.

Hello Henk.
Bly u het waardering vir die outentiekheid van Moolmanshof!
Die draagbare elektriese waaier is agter die oorhoekse hangkas versteek!
Stortbadkamer ook klein omdat dit onder die buitetrap gebou moes word ten einde nie die raar egtheid van die H-vormigheid van die Kaaps Hollandse ou huis te verstoor nie. Die huis is nog 'n
'n klassieke voorbeeld daarvan. Ek het dit al oorweeg om 'n vrystaande bad in die kamer te laat installeer.

Comfortable overnight stay if all the locks on the doors don't bother you.
I wasn't too disappointed with the rooms as I had read a review beforehand which warned that the Stables units did not look like the photos on the website, all of which only show the main house. The Stables rooms are good enough, but will be disappointing if you expect anything else. It would be a good idea to post photos on the website. But we were very disappointed because I specifically messaged to say I was looking for accommodation and one of us is in a wheelchair, and I received a reply indicating that we would be able to be accommodated with a wheelchair . The units were not wheelchair friendly at all (and we are used to some discomfort, with a few steps or so). That's why I sent the message before booking! This is very unprofessional.

Not value for money.
The main building and rooms are very nice and are used in the marketing. However, we slept in outbuildings with our two adult daughters. They had to walk through our unit to the outside through overgrown plants because their unit does not have an exterior door. In addition, the family next door was sitting on their porch right against my children's kitchen window. The toilet paper was insufficient and there is no gate to provide security for your vehicle. Our room's DSTV did not work and they made no attempt to repair it. Would certainly not recommend the accommodation.
