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 (Upper Cape Town) houses as they still exist to-day. The vertical panelled frontdoor with fanlight replaced the stable door of the Cape Dutch style. Typically this fanlight is also the only window of the Voorhuis(front room).
The attractive net curtains on the small Victorian sash window in front of the house, was painted by the well known Swellendam artist,
Jan du Toit.
There are 2 bedrooms, main bedroom en suite with a Victorian bath. There is also a second bathroom. The outside flatlet has twin beds and shower bathroom en suite. BO-KAPIE sleeps up to eight people and is fully equipped for self-catering including bedding.
Area Information:Situated on the N2 National Road midway between Cape Town and George on the scenic Garden Route, lies Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa.
Built in 1833, BO-KAPIE is one 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.
There is an open hearth in the living room/kitchen with plenty of wood provided.
It is centrally situated for museums, restaurants, shops, golf-course, hiking trails, Marloth and Bontebok Nature reserves etc.

Swellendam Reviews
I enjoyed Aan De Eike Guesthouse, My room were clean and the service were excellent.I felt very safe enjoyed every moment since I arrived. Swellendam is beautiful with most beautiful views. The location was very convenient and would recommend The Republican Restaurant. The food and vibe were awesome. It's safe to walk in Swellendam, what a beautiful place for entertainment
