How wonderful our 3 night stay has been. The staff are delightful and cannot do enough for you. The food is delicious and well presented. Our room was tastefully decorated and set in a beautiful courtyard. Overall a sense of peace, serenity and calm runs throughout the hotel. The final touch our car has just been cleaned. Overall a simply delightful stay.

Amazing Country House Hotel set in beautiful grounds with a secluded swimming pool. Rooms are lovely and the welcome from owners & staff is exceptional. Excellent food-fresh local produce-especially breakfast! Extra personal touches like welcome drink & fresh scones, chocolates in room.

We had a wonderful one night stay in this lovely family run hotel. A friendly greeting as we arrived from Alison the owner with fresh watermelon juice. A beautifully renovated house and comfortable, spacious accommodation. The conservatory restaurant was a delight and matched by the delicious food. We had an excellent dinner and the breakfast could not be beaten! Our car was even cleaned before we left. We loved Swellendam too.

The name says it all: it is a beautiful place! It is a historic building that has been lovingly renovated by the couple who own it. The staff is always friendly and even washes guests' cars in the morning. When we arrived, we were greeted with wonderful, freshly baked scones. Alison manages the kitchen and brings delicious and unusual dishes to the evening table. I would especially like to mention the very good breakfast that is served at the table. The very well-kept garden also has a pool.

Highly recommend this beautiful property. Many guests stop en route to the Garden Route, but it’s worth taking a break for a few days and enjoying all it has to offer - we did! Thanks to Alison and her team for a lovely stay.
