At the top of Swellendam's main road, Voortrekker Street, you see the crown jewel of the towns' legendary, beautiful buildings: a breathtaking, perfectly maintained Georgian home.
As you continue you enter the core of the most historic of the Western Cape towns: The Drostdy Complex, once the seat of an independent republic. Behind the Drostdy Helpi & Freerk Brandsma own and run a small hotel with the magical name of Roosje van de Kaap.
The main building of Roosje van de Kaap was once a part of the historic Drostdy. Here Helpi & Freerk created a beautiful inn and an award winning restaurant.

Welcome to Roosje van de Kaap!
