    Large rooms with verandas overlooking the mountains.

    What a fabulous setting. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the large room and veranda overlooking the mountains. Breakfast was great.

    Nothing really.

    Peaceful, relaxing and comfortable: the perfect place for a family get together

    What a beautiful place to stay. While you are right on the outskirts of Swellendam, you feel like you could be miles away from civilization in the quiet of nature. The villa that we stayed was beautifully appointed with 2 massive bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The small kitchenette is adequate for basic warming of food as well as small prep of food. A braai can be requested if you wish to have a braai. You are a stones throw (5 minute drive) from many good eateries offering a wide variety of evening meals. The breakfast that was included in our booking was outstanding, offering more choice than we could eat. The staff are friendly and attentive if you need any assistance with anything.
