Augusta de Mist Country House - Accommodation in Swellendam, Western Cape, South Africa

Augusta de Mist Country House - Accommodation in Swellendam, Western Cape is one of the few remaining beauties of its era in Swellendam. Built about 50 years after the founding of the town, the building has changed little in over two hundred years. A National Monument, the building exudes the pioneering spirit of the early Dutch settlers. The building has all the modern comforts, yet retains the ambiance of classic simplicity. The house stands in a large private garden, 50 metres away from the owner's home, with much bird life, many butterflies and shy chameleons to be seen. The atmosphere of both building and garden is tranquil and relaxing. There is an inviting saltwater swimming pool, set away from the house for privacy and maximum sunshine.
