The accommodation is centrally located and is near museums, golf course, hiking trails and Marloth- and Bontebok Nature reserves. With so much to see and do in and around Swellendam, Bo-Kapie makes for an ideal base from which to explore the area.
Built in 1833, Bo-Kapie is 1 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. 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 houses as they still exist today. The vertical panelled front door with fanlight replaced the stable door of the Cape Dutch-style.
