Description

Bo-Kapie is a romantic, little hideaway situated on the N2 midway between Cape Town and George on the scenic Garden Route, in the town of Swellendam. The house embodies charm and nostalgia and is located within easy reach of numerous shops, restaurants, activities and attractions. The accommodation comprises 2 units, each with their own private entrance and bathrooms.

The Bo-Kapie Cottage has 2 bedrooms and can accommodate 5 guests at a time. The main bedroom has a double bed and an en-suite bathroom with a Victorian bath while the second room is equipped with 3 single beds. There are 2 sleeper couches in the living room that can accommodate 2 additional guests. These guests share a bathroom with the guests in the second bedroom. It is fully equipped for self-catering and includes linen and towels. The kitchen is equipped with a stove and oven, a fridge, microwave, coffee- and tea-making facilities, crockery and cutlery. There is an open hearth in the living room, with plenty of wood provided, where guests can enjoy romantic, fireside dinners.

Bo-Kapie Annexe features a double bed and an en-suite bathroom fitted with a shower, toilet and a basin. It has tea- and coffee-making facilities and all guests have access to complimentary Wi-Fi.

The accommodation is centrally located and is near museums, golf course, hiking trails and Marloth- and Bontebok Nature reserves. With so much to see and do in and around Swellendam, Bo-Kapie makes for an ideal base from which to explore the area.

Built in 1833, Bo-Kapie is 1 of the oldest houses in Swellendam. It is also the last of the houses dating back to the slave history of Swellendam which ended with their emancipation in 1834. This little flat-roofed, Cape Georgian-style cottage with its moulded parapet was the preferred style of the Muslim artisans of the time. It is reminiscent of the typical Bo-Kaap houses as they still exist today. The vertical panelled front door with fanlight replaced the stable door of the Cape Dutch-style.

We were just looking for an overnight place. The place is small, but with a nice garden, and very well located.
