Absolutely gorgeous setting and loved the pool. If you’re traveling the garden route and staying just a night make sure to get there early enough in the day to enjoy the grounds! Also note that not all rooms have A/C. They all come with at least a fan though!

A beautiful Swellendam stop

The room was lovely albeit a bit hot even with a fan, as a result of the weather. The parking is secure and I felt safe in the hotel and other village overall. Room access was through a garden path which while lovely can but a bit hard if you have a wheely case. The staff were friendly and answered all my questions. A great spot overall.

Wonderful hosts. We’ve stayed overnight coming from Knysna on our way to Cape Town. It was already quite late but they made us immediately feel welcome with their kindness and helpfulness. Beautiful rooms and a wonderful breakfast included in the rates. We will definitely revisit and hopefully longer
