The View Swellendam

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed over one night & the attention to detail by the host was amazing. Beautiful views, great recommendation for restaurants by the host. Loved our stay!"

Aan de Eike Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The staff are very welcoming. It is a beautiful, well run place to stay. The rooms are very big and very clean. It is located near to shops and restaurants. The breakfast is first class. We enjoyed our stay so much. If you are visiting Swellendam I would encourage everyone to stay there. If you need a stop over, this is the place to stay."

Hotel Roosje van de Kaap

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed very short time but it’s a wonderful place to stay! The host provided very warm welcome and were very friendly, assisted with some immediate needs we had, parking was behind gates, accommodation was simply wonderful and the property was quiet, charming and meticulously maintained. Didn’t get a chance to use amenities like outdoor gym and pool. Overall, we had very relaxing, enjoyful stay here during our road trip through garden route."

Marula Lodge Guesthouse

10/10 Excellent

"Nice room and a very pleasant couple of nights - the owner was most helpful in providing advice and guidance of local restaurants and spots to visit. Highly recommended"

Sanbona Wildlife Reserve

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional! Cannot fault"

Mountain View Swellendam

10/10 Excellent

"It was serendipitous that I booked a stay at Mountain View Swellendam as I was looking for a place to stop about 6 hours west from Port Elizabeth. I saw nice pictures, a good rating, and a reasonable price. But WOW! First, incredible hospitality. We were greeted at the gate, shown our secure parking spot, then given a complete tour of our unit and directions around the grounds. Plus a recommendation for a restaurant for dinner that we followed and enjoyed. Also, a staff member stopped by to check on an item she had learned possibly was not up to snuff and replaced it. Second, the unit we stayed in was perfect both in condition and usefulness to us. My wife and I needed to work a bit and the room layout and internet were just what was required. The small kitchen area was great for reheating items and making tea and coffee. Finally, the garden area is delightful and provided a much needed relaxation break. When we are next in the area we will absolutely stay at the Mountain View Swellendam. "

Karoo Art Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at the Karoo Art Hotel for one night on our way to Cape Town. It is a wonderfully restored hotel in keeping with its character. The bed was very comfortable and our room spacious. We had dinner and breakfast there and both were very good, we would definitely return if ever in South Africa. It was nice to safely be able to walk around the town."

Rothman Manor Guest House

8/10 Good

"Nice property hampered by the weather."
