Local restaurants
There are plenty of options within rambling distance of Schoone Oordt: a few of our favourites include laid-back Italian trattoria La Sosta (+27 (0)28 514 1470), at 145 Voortrek Street, where staff rustle up daily seasonal specials; Koornlands (+27 (0)82 430 8188), at 5 Voortrek Street, with à la carte and tasting menus of Cape cuisine (we loved the crocodile sashimi); and Roosje van de Kaap (+27 (0)28 514 3001), 5 Drostdy Street, an award-winning restaurant in a restored Georgian building at the edge of the Drostdy estate.
Local cafés
For lunch or when you fancy something low-key (although that’s about all there is round here, it’s so relaxed), the Woodpecker Deli & Pizza (+27(0)28 514 2924) at 270 Voortrek Street does fabulous pizzas.
Worth getting out of bed for
Your hosts Ali and Richard can point you toward some lovely local walks – the scenery in this region is stunning. Worth a day trip (or a visit en route to Schoone Oordt from Cape Town) is Robertson, about a 45-minute drive away, where the Graham Beck estate (+27 (0)23 626 1214) produces what is – in our humble opinion – some of the finest sparkling wine South Africa.
