Stately Matoppo Inn, rich in romantic history, is now an exclusive country residence offering luxury en suite facilities in the elegant ambience of yesteryear. The main house, originally the town Drostdy, was built in 1834. In its heyday this residence played host to many VIPs, and saw many a magnificent banquet, ball and state function. This oasis, with its sparkling pool and abundant bird life, is situated one block from the main road. Luxury bedrooms are en suite with full bathrooms, and boast the opulent spaciousness savoured in the 19th century. The rooms are charming, furnished with traditional brass beds, and yellowwood and pearwood pieces of furniture. Karoo dinners are served by candlelight. Explore the Swartberg passes, drive through the Valley of Desolation, and enjoy this placid part of the Western Cape.
