Idyllisches Gästehaus

Leider waren wir nur für eine Nacht dort, also quasi zur Durchreise. Der Garten des Hauses ist wahnsinnig schön mit Blick auf die Berge. Zwei sehr hübsche und freundliche Doggen begrüßten uns mit der Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und würden diese Unterkunft jeder Zeit wieder buchen.

Gerne wieder! Genau unser Geschmack!

Das Apartment und der gesamte Garten samt Pool sind einfach toll. Super modern und schön eingerichtet. Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeberin ist super herzlich und hat uns direkt Tipps für gute Restaurants im Ort gegeben und sich auch um die Reservierung gekümmert. Wir würden immer wieder buchen.

Gegend sehr schön, River Bed - hält nicht was es verspricht, nicht weiter zu empfehlen

Die Gegend

Die Unterkunft sieht super auf den Fotos aus, ist aber schon sehr sehr abgewohnt, und teils wirklich sehr schmutzig oder einfach nicht gepflegt. Ein weiser Klodeckel der gelbe Ränder hat; Fiesen schmutzig gelb; überall Haare;Bettwäsche teilweise schmutzig . Fazit: Es war einfach nicht sauber. Zu guter letzt kacken die Doggen in den Garten. Das geht einfach gar nicht. Die Bewertungen im Internet sind viel zu gut.

A very efficient and friendly super host. I loved the manner in which she presented the property and then disappeared until needed. The property is situated against a running river and beautiful, direct views of the Swellendam mountains.

A modern, clean & comfortable stay in the midst of Swellendam

Our room was super modern and comfortable. It was pristine and had the best shower/bathroom. Within walking distance to restaurants and town, the location was perfect and view of the mountains even better.

Loved everything about the stay

Superb

Bright, clean rooms with every comfort. Prime location on the outskirts of the town of Swellendam. Amazing hospitality by the owner.

Nothing. What you need to know is that you have to prepare your own breakfast from the fridge, which is refilled every day, in the very well equipped kitchen

excellent value for money and fabulous property - AMAZING

Fabulous room. Stunning location. Pool was lovely with plenty of loungers and pool towels. Beautifully kept gardens and Melani couldn't of been more helpful. Even with the power out she supplied us with fresh coffee and when we had an issue with an electrical plug she was on hand with a range of screwdrivers. Melani also recommended a restaurant and booked us a table - another fabulous meal and the staff where very attentive.

super clean and comfortable.

super clean, well taken care off property with kind staff. pool is nice and the location is perfect within walking distance to a street full off restaurants. they give you a schedule beforehand about the loadshedding times but they have a generator so wifi, lights and hot water always works.

the bathroom somehow stays completely wet after showering, no matter what you do, after a few hours the mirror was still completely foggy and wet and the next morning the bathroom still hadn’t dried. but this is a minor thing that i guess they can’t fix.

On of the best place we stayed on garden route. Great pool area

One of the best places we stayed through our journey to western cape. Apartmant was spacious and very nice. There were only 3 apartments so it was very relaxed and secluded atmosphere. Pool area was fantastic and we relaxed there most of our time. There was beautiful mountain wiev from the pool area. The host was super nice and helpful. It is a fantastic place to charge the batteries when travelling through garden route. I totally recommend to stay there 2 nights because it is so nice to chill at the pool area.

That we only stayed there one night

Short but nice stay in swellendam

Nice large areas with a great pool lots of sunbeds and a lovely room with kitchenette and bathroom. Clean, modern and compfy. Melani is a great host with lovely recommendations and she even made a restaurant booking for us.

As it said in the description, some stuff for breakfast was provided in the fridge. You can bring your own stuff as well and prepare your breakfast or go to the small cafes close by.

Lovely modern studio room in a quiet location next to the river

Spacious, clean and modern room. Comfortable beds. Great location. Lovely pool (even though we didn't have the time to use it)

It's a shame that the breakfast is self-cook. This is made perfectly clear in the description so we knew what to expect, but If they could find a way to supply a served breakfast it would make this place 100% perfect.

Our Swellendam Treat

Beautiful place with a spacious room and stunning views overlooking the mountain and river. The pool was a favourite since it was a hot and humid day, and very pleasing to the eye with a spectacular view. We enjoyed our stay and Melanie (our host) was phenomenal. Due to loadshedding the next morning, she offered to bring us coffee or tea, and assisted with any and everything we needed. Thank you for hosting us. We hope to return on future travels.
