Lovely property and clean pretty room. The couple running the show were so lovely and friendly. Happily changed our dinner reservation for us as we did not have SA mobile minutes and gave us a great lunch stop recommendation on our way to the airport. The breakfast we delicious! And we were welcomed to a celebration gift in the room. I would recommend staying here for those travelling in Swellendam.

Swellendam Excellence
Jan and Vivianne were lovely attentive hosts. Mature gardens and pool area were a pleasure to be in. Good breakfast with continental and cooked options. Comfortable super king bed, with large walk in shower. Quiet location, handily situated opposite a good pizza restaurant, close to excellent restaurant La Sosta, and a 20/30 minute walk (or 5 minute drive) into centre of Swellendam. Good stopover for the Garden Route, with handy hikes and trails nearby, and access to amazing De Hoop Nature Reserve. Highly recommended.
