Loved it! ##### Dana Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Paddy Apr 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Huge apartment in a boring town We had the top floor apartment which was huge, comfortable and well equipped, if rather oddly decorated and furnished. Someone had a touch of the Laurence Llewellyn-Bowen , with little splashes of vibrant colour here and there. Lovely gardens with a zebra and some springbok in the paddock. Good breakfast with very nice waiting staff. But Swellendam is so dull, I wouldn’t recommend staying- you’ll be bored senseless after half a day. ##### Paddy Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicola Nov 21, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Chilled wine , hot tub and zebra!

We had the Africa Suite which was comfortable, well furnished and spacious with a huge naturally-lit bathroom. The property itself is well maintained with lovely semi tropical gardens and a nice pool area. 4 stars would not be enough but I would have given 4 1/2 if I could for a couple of reasons. (1) the hotel is a long way from the centre (30/40 minute walk at least and) where most of the restaurants are and (2) although efficient, the lady on reception was not particularly welcoming (but not unpleasant) and seemed to have little interest in us, something that we have not found with other hotels during our stay. Would we go back? Probably not although it really is a very nice property for a relaxing stay. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda Oct 19, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Don’t hesitate- book this place if it’s available This place was the nicest we have stayed in South Africa.. we had the espirit suite and it was an enormous and luxurious set of rooms overlooking the lake. Much has been said about the springbok s and zebra in the adjoining field but mention must be made of the crickets,and the weaver birds we watched from the private patio in front of our room. Magical. The room and gardens were filled with floating flower heads. The plentiful towels were thick and fluffy. The toiletries were good quality . And the room contained ground coffee and a percolator, home made rusks, fruit, water, and a well stocked minibar. The super king 4 poster bed had fabulous quality bedding and was so comfortable. The breakfast. Oh the breakfast was sooo good. Fruit salad yoghurt, cereals and juice followed a menu of cooked options. I thoroughly recommend the French toast. Oh, and the younger berry jam is scrumptious.scones, crosissqnta and good qulitycoffee. It was a feast. And this is after we ate a fab dinner at the next door restaurant the previous night. The welcome at this blissful place was warm, and we felt very safe. I can’t recommend this place enough. Sadly we stayed for one night only but it was a long way from a stop over- this place is a destination and an event. It has a superb well kept ( and warm!!)swimming pool , wonderful gardens, and great communal indoor areas too. It is well worth a detour just to have this experience! ##### Lynda Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katia May 17, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Séjour parfait Un très bel endroit avec un merveilleux jardin.
