There are televisions in the lounge areas of the self catering cottages (Swiss cottage & The Stable) as well as in the 3 bedrooms located in The Manor House (The Main House).
There is a fireplace in the lounge to warm you on those chilly winter nights (or fresh Karoo mornings) – you can curl up and relax in one of the comfortable sofas with a book or enjoy a chat over a glass of sherry!
Come stay with us at Swiss Villa, whether it be for the peace, rest or just passing through the area on a business trip. Perhaps you want a special holiday? – experience the unique fauna and flora of Nieuwoudtville. Within a 20 kilometer stretch – from the top of Van Rhyn’s pass, out past the Wild Flower Reserve – there are THREE biomes – three vegetation types (Cape Fynbos, Succulent Karoo and the Dolerite Sills). Nieuwoudtville is also the ‘Bulb capital of the World’!
For Birders, we have many birds to ‘twitch’ and add to your list; such as On the Geological side we have a glacial pavement that is three million years old. The furthest northern point of the Table Mountain Sandstone complex is outside town and Oorlogskloof is the North-Western end of the Cedarberg Corridor. So – there are many seasons and many reasons to come and be our guest – Nieuwoudtville’s rich diversity ensures that whatever season you come to visit – there will always be something to be explored!
