Tucked away in a corner of the garden, lies the romantic honeymoon hideaway. Brush past the brightly flowering fuchsia’s onto the secluded patio and open the French doors to a world of elegant sophistication. Relax into crisp custom-made 100% cotton percale linen and goose down bedding adorning the ornately carved four-poster bed and forget about the world outside.
Step into the oversized shower or sink into a beautiful Victorian ball and claw bath while the day’s journey slips off you in a froth of delicate "rain" bubbles. Wrap yourself in one of the fluffy embroidered gowns and feel the extravagance of a heated bathroom floor.
Relax in your own small private lounge surrounded by fabulous antiques. Help yourself to a cup of tea or coffee and if it’s chilly outside stoke up the fire and jump back into bed.
The Honeymoon suite includes:
• Antique wardrobe and dresser
• Ornate Over-sized King Four-poster Bed • Custom-made 100% cotton percale linen • Goose Down bedding • Tea/Coffee - Homemade biscuits or rusks • Luxurious wool carpet • Fireplace • Air-conditioning • Under floor heating in bathroom

Julie & Matt's Gorgeous picnic wedding
6 March 2010

Well, we've had a super busy season, our best so far, which is why the diary pages have been so quiet. Thank you to all of our wonderful guests for making that happen and a very big thank you to all of those whom have returned and sent friends and family!
We've also been VERY anxiously awaiting Julie & Matt's wedding pictures... Aren't they beautiful? They were taken by Jules Morgan. Those of you that remember our family picture that's displayed in the conservatory - same photographer - have a look at her site...www.julesmorganweddings.com
Julie & Matt got married on the 3rd January this year under a white canopy on our lush green grass. I say, lush, because we spent weeks before the wedding tending to it daily! It became my pet project. They invited 20 of their closest friends and family to spend the day and evening with them here. All of the guests kicked their shoes off to merrily feast out of country-style picnic baskets sitting on beautifully crafted quilts made by Julie's mom. Actually Oscar, our dog, joined them quite happily and found a quilt all of his own... It was an exquisite wedding, one I will always remember and I can honestly say that Julie & Matt have become fast friends.
They had these amazing words to say about us... “Quite simply Schoone Oordt is beautiful. The attention to detail is amazing. The rooms are stunning, elegant and calm. Every detail is just perfect. Prepare yourself for the most amazing breakfast, beautifully prepared fresh food with real thought behind it (I don't think that you will find a better one anywhere). This has been achieved with love, enthusiasm, passion and pure talent from Alison and Richard. These lovely people have created the perfect Guest House. They are true professionals when it comes to hospitality and events. We cannot recommend Schoone Oordt highly enough. Whether you visit for just one night or book this beautiful house and grounds for an event, you won't be disappointed.”
