Description
A luxurious country house not far from Swellendam and Ashton, Mardouw is the perfect venue for guests who appreciate the finer things in life. The magnificent Cape Georgian house, set on the estate once owned by renegade President Hermanus Steyn, has been restored to achieve a vibrant modern idiom on a site steeped in history.
Ultimate luxury is what you will experience at Mardouw, with its wide verandahs, sumptuous accommodation, fine dining, cocktails in the shadow of the mountains, lunch or dinner on the cool verandah, or elegant dining inside surrounded by a collection of carefully selected art works. In the lounge you will find a stunning array of modern pieces and exotic furnishings where comfort and African style combine with uncluttered elegance. The pièce de résistance is our stone fireplace, specially designed as a lively modern take on a traditional style.
What could be more exciting than to unwind on a working olive and wine estate, which produces its own rich Pinotage and sparkling Chenin Blanc wines, under Mardouws label? A thousand hectares of groves, vineyards and mountain walks will invite you to explore, before returning in the evening to enjoy tapas on the verandah in the warm light of the setting sun on the Langeberg Mountains.
Mardouw Country House is a place of many moods. In both its unique setting and its environment of stylish modern architecture, African artefacts and superb contemporary
