Country House Hospitality

At Rouxwil, two worlds meet: modern, luxurious comfort meets old-fashioned farm-style hospitality on an authentic, African farm.

Hillside Suites

Luxuriously designed studio apartments in complete seclusion, with all the modern comforts you need.
From your own private verandah you will have an unspoiled view across the valley of wheat fields, mountains and game. Look down across the farm dam, covered with “waterblommetjies” – a fragrant water flower which is a delicacy of the Overberg, during the Winter and Spring months.
Stone courtyards, with calming water features, embrace your full, spacious bathroom, feeling like you are in your own private paradise.

HILLSIDE POOL

The newest addition to our luxurious suites, Pool suite is decorated in classic, light French style. This spacious room has a stunning verandah view over the pool area, offers the freedom of showering under the stars.

HILLSIDE OAK

Rekindle memories of a forgotten grace and surround yourself with the Colonial grandeur of oak, leather and brass.

HILLSIDE MAHOGANY

Here contemporary design awaits you, with beautiful attention to detail, right up to a “double trouble” shower. Here honeymooners are specially pampered in an environment of peace and privacy.

HILLSIDE TEAK

Enjoy to be spoiled in luxury and comfort in a combination of teak and iron work. Laze in your king size bed, with stone designed head board, and enjoy the views from your bed. Shower under African stars in your private outside shower, or shower together in a walk in double shower.

HILLSIDE PEWTER

Being on the furthest end of the five studio apartments, Pewter offers the most spectacular views, especially over the plains game. Relax in the deep bath, listening to the calming sound of your private fountain and gazing up into the star filled sky.

Each of our studio apartments has a well stocked honesty bar, tea and coffee facilities, a little kitchenette, binoculars, hairdryer, soft white cotton gowns, slippers, and electric blankets in winter. Every room has hot & cold airconditioners, a mini hi-fi with a CD player.

A swimming pool with therapy jets are there to make you even more rejuvenated, or you can just laze around the pool on the wooden deck with an ice cold glass of champagne – read and relax!

If you feel like company, come through to the main lounge where an open log fire and lots of interesting books invite you to sit back and simply relax.

Each morning you will be treated to a full South African breakfast in the comfort of the farmhouse kitchen. You can decide to sample the local fruit or indulge in a traditional cooked breakfast – or both!

Thys and O’nel are both avid wine connoisseurs and will spoil you with sundowner drinks and snacks, either somewhere in nature, or on your patio. At night guests enjoy pre-dinner drinks, with lively and interesting conversations, and have a gourmet dinner together in the main farmhouse.

Here you will experience the South African lifestyle, excellent home-cooked meals, or traditional fare around an open fire on the verandah and personalised attention – all this makes for an unforgettable experience and fond memories!
For O’nel, this is what running Rouxwil Country House is all about: “We love sharing what we have with guests, because we know they will be our friends before they leave.”
