Rothman Manor

Rothman Manor stands as a distinguished five-star boutique retreat in historic Swellendam, where three thatched Cape Dutch houses dating back to 1834 have been transformed into an elegant sanctuary of comfort and style. The property artfully blends its rich historical architecture with contemporary African design elements, creating an atmosphere of sophisticated relaxation. Set against a backdrop of stunning mountain views and overlooking an eco-reserve where zebra and springbok roam freely, the manor’s park-like grounds offer numerous private corners for peaceful contemplation and natural connection.
