    Our weekend was quite mediocre, but we did appreciate the proximity to local attractions. The cozy beds and complimentary breakfast were also quite nice.

    The staff seemed uninterested in assisting us throughout our stay. The room was much smaller than anticipated and not very clean.

    This hotel is a hidden gem in a quiet street but close to the town centre. The beautiful guesthouse is nicely decorated throughout and offers rooms with all the amenities you could possibly want, including an aircon which was much enjoyed. The location is perfect, right in the centre of town, with a pretty garden and outdoor seating areas to relax in. The breakfast included in the room rate is simply the best, delicious and prepared with attention to detail.

    All was splendid, couldn't ask for more.

    the location was great, situated on the Garden Route with some great eateries close by. the rooms were spacious, clean and well-equipped, providing everything we needed including hairdryer, soap, tea/coffee and comfortable beds with electric blankets. the hosts were warm and welcoming and the breakfasts served in the garden were delicious.

    There was a slight discomfort as the room was not climate controlled and only had a fan available.

    Amazing breakfast, comfortable room, and friendly staff. Our stay during Christmas time was lovely with a hearty breakfast served every morning that came with a wide range of options. the room was cozy and well-maintained, perfect for the chilly nights. the location was also an advantage due to its proximity to the main street.

    No air conditioning in the room, and limited information provided. the fan provided was ineffective in the hot weather during the day, making it slightly uncomfortable.

    We loved staying at this hotel in Swellendam! The beautiful garden with chairs and tables was perfect for relaxing in a peaceful atmosphere. The location was great, in a quiet street, but still close to the city centre. The breakfast was amazing and the staff was very friendly and welcoming.

    Nothing for me.
