nicely renovated guesthouse, good location in Swellendam, on walking distance from some good restaurants. spar is only 1 minute drive, too
the door of the room had a very simple lock, could get an upgrade. also, the breakfast 2options) was the same for two days in a row. a bit more choice would have been nice

Sheltered garden and pool were both very good .Breakfast was really nicely served by Cynthia and the food was very tasty .
Our room, number 10, did not have a window , which was very unpleasant as we had to leave the doors open to see anything .On one occasion a person walking along the main road called out to my wife who was sitting inside the room on her own whilst I was at the pool.

The Venue was clean and the view and pool was very nice
The room was very small for two people. The Bathroom is very small. There are no holders or hooks for the soap or facecloths in the shower. There is no cupboard to hang your clothes for a long stay or surface big enough to work on for two people for self-catering. The space for the towels in the bathroom is also only meant for one person. We stayed for 4 days and according to the staff we had the smallest room. If they knew the room was not meeting the standard, they should have not accepted our booking. It was a very uncomfortable stay and not worth the money at all.
