Old Thatch Lodge, Swellendam

Would you like to sleep in a "National Monument"? Our house in Cape Victorian Style, was the townhouse of Mr. Reitz, the governor in the early ages of 1900. Family Reitz lived on a farm. They only came to town on special days and church days, where they lived for a few days in "our" house. That was long ago, but still today the atmosphere is like in the old days.
