  Nice scenery and neat open living space.

  The house was very clean and living area very spacious and nice.

  The bathrooms are very small especially the guest bathroom… for a 3 bedroom house to accommodate 6 people should there be more space. Bring your own kitchenware (utensils, pots and pans etc) if you want to make dishes, very limited kitchenware. No DSTV as advertised.

  Expected more for the rate we paid

  Comfortable. Looks neat.

  Wasn’t clean. Spider webs and bath was dirty. Obviously not been clean for a while. I would have like to have a TV. Can’t comment about the staff. Never saw anyone. Although owner was available on her cell phone. Room wasn’t clean on the Saturday.

  A haven for nature lovers

  For lovers of nature the location could not be beaten. It was truly remarkable watching the birds and bok in the extensive gardens, it was hard to drag ourselves away from the stoop. The property and area was well explained to us when we arrived and we were thankful to be able to get in early. We enjoyed amazing hikes accessed directly from the gardens. It was an easy car journey to the town which has great shops and restaurants. The interior is spacious and comfortable, we didn't use the indoor braai but we're very thankful for the supplied logs which we used on the outside braai provided. The bathrooms are lovely. Swimming in the tranquil dam was an unexpected bonus!

  A few amenities were missing such as an iron, only 1 fan and not enough bowls. Storage was also oddly laid out inside with kitchenware spread across several cupboards in different rooms- a bit annoying for braaing but no biggie! We found the beds to be a little uncomfortable/old/creaky.

  Great Swellendam stay

  Great location in nature, with well equipped rooms and living space. Lovely indoor braai with indoor and outdoor dining space. Kids could canoe with the equipment provided by the hosts.

  No mop or broom to keep the unit tidy, especially with us using the indoor braai facility. The kitchen has most things but could do with a few extras.
