Swellendam is the third oldest town in
South Africa and has many famous buildings and places of
historic interest such as the famous Drostdy Museum. The
impressive and much photographed Dutch Reformed Moederkerk
"wedding cake" was built in 1911, and is a magnificent
eclectic blend of Gothic Renaissance, Baroque and veracular
Cape elements.
Swellendam offers canoe hire, golf, hiking
trails, horse riding, glider flips and whale watching
flights, as well as waterskiing.
The nearby Bontebok National Park is an
added attraction, as is the lighthouse at Cape Agulhas, the
Southernmost tip of Africa which is an easy drive away.
