Unfortunate
The owner who was very unpleasant and bossy underneath his politeness created a feeling of discomfort. The breakfast was delicious and grounds beautiful but his attitude unfortunately made us uncomfortable enough to not recommend this place.

Little gem in Swellendam
Fabulous Queen Elizabeth Suite furnished to the highest quality in every way. Excellent bathroom as well, wet room style, with high quality accessories. Nice touch with complimentary port and wine and fresh milk for tea and coffee. Exceptional continental breakfast, with options for fully cooked if you wish, served on the verandah by the pool
