We have traveled all over the world and have stayed in tons of places - Airbnbs, hotels, hostels, Bed and Breakfasts, you name it. We have never stayed in a place that has not only exceeded our expectations to this degree but has been as wonderful as our stay here. The staff was phenomenal, the property is incredibly special and amazing in every way, the food was outstanding, and everything was just perfect. I honestly can't recommend staying here enough. This is also a hard review because there were surprises that really knocked our socks off for how special this place and the people really were. I don't want to ruin it so you'll have to stay here and experience it yourself. If I could recommend any place on the planet that I've been to, this place would be my #1. If you're considering staying here, there's really nothing to consider. Book it and thank me later, and make sure you thank everyone there for how special they make your experience.

Everything was gorgeous! Comfortable and classy room. I had a fireplace in my room and a stunning bathtub.

Despite the fact that they were in the middle of clearing up to debris from a major storm (trees down on the premises and much of the surrounding area (but not the hotel) without power and closed for business, the staff were fantastic. The little things that make a difference - fresh scones on arrival, car washed next morning (without asking), and the wood fire in the room (lit and then banked up while we were at dinner). Dinner menu (though not large) was superb as was breakfast. Advice on where to go walking (national parks were still closed) made the following morning memorable. All in all a truly amazing experience. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay in quaint Swellendam. The property is classy, the food is excellent and the staff go out of their way to make your stay a delight. Our car was even washed withgout us asking for it! Very highly recommended.

Nothing to dislike
