Nice place. The mattress was a little uncomfortable, but otherwise the room was very neat. We had a very nice stay.

Lekker plek. Matras was effens ongemaklik, maar andersins was die kamer baie netjies. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Stopover along the long road to Langebaan. It was beautiful, nice big clean room, lovely staff, nice breakfast, simple but just enough. Nice place and close to the main road.

Tussenstop langs die lang pad na Langebaan. Dit was pragtig, mooi groot skoon kamer, lief personeel, lekker ontbyt, eenvoudig maar presies genoeg. Mooi plek en naby aan die groot pad.

Accommodation - Very neat and friendly reception and service from Charnelle. Charnelle was very friendly and made us feel very welcome. I wanted to give her 5 stars, but unfortunately our experience at breakfast was not so good. We were told that breakfast is served between 08:00 and 10:00. At 08:00 we had to sit outside and wait because it was 07:50. I would think that the kitchen/restaurant should be ready and open before 08:00. Then furniture was still being carried out and one guest who was sleeping there with us jumped into his bakkie and drove away at speed because he couldn't even get a coffee. The waiter told him "3 more minutes". That's really bad. They should either make their breakfast time from 08:30, or they will have to start earlier. We also ate there the previous night and I noticed that the waiters did not clear the tables after eating. Crumbs were lying on most of the tables and when we went to have breakfast, tables were only cleared. So personally, I think the restaurant and breakfast service needs attention.

Akkommodasie - Baie netjies en vriendelike ontvangs en diens vanaf Charnelle. Charnelle was baie vriendelik en het ons baie welkom laat voel. Vir haar wou ek 5-ster gee, maar ongelukkig was ons ervaring tydens ontbyt nie so goed nie. Vir ons was meegedeel dat ontbyt bedien word tussen 08:00 en 10:00. 08:00 moes ons buite sit en wag omdat dit 07:50 was. Ek sou dink dat die kombuis/restaurant al voor 08:00 moet gereedmaak en oopmaak. Toe word meubels nog uitgedra en een gas wat saam met ons daar geslaap het, het in sy bakkie gespring en daar weggery teen spoed omdat hy nie eers net 'n koffie kon kry nie. Die waiter het vir hom gesê nog "3 minutes". Dis regtig swak. Hulle moet of hul ontbyt tyd van 08:30 af maak, of hulle sal moet vroeër aan die gang kom. Ons het die vorige aand ook daar geëet en ek het opgelet dat die waiters nie die tafels skoonmaak nadat daar geëet was nie. Krummels het op meeste tafels gelê en toe ons gaan ontbyt het, is tafels eers skoongemaak. So persoonlik dink ek die restaurant en ontbyt-gedeelte se diens kort aandag.

Can recommend for a weekend in Swellendam. Beautiful garden! Very quaint. Comfy bed. Aircon to take the chill out of the air. Yummy breakfast at the restaurant in the garden.

Absolutely awesome. It is a beautiful old historic building. Room was very comfortable. The garden is beautiful. We slept very well and woke up the next morning to a beautiful, clear bird song. The breakfast was delicious and the team was super friendly and accommodating.

Absoluut awesome. Dit is 'n pragtige ou historiese gebou. Kamer was baie gemaklik. Die tuin is pragtig. Ons het baie lekker geslaap en wakker geword die volgende oggend met 'n pragtige opgeruimde voelsang. Die ontbyt was heerlik en die span was super vriendelik en tegemoetkomend.

Experience Cape culture and hospitality. Mattress was a little uncomfortable, but otherwise the room was very neat, clean and comfortable. Had a very nice stay.

Ervaar die Kaapse kultuur en gasvryheid. Matras was effens ongemaklik, maar andersins was die kamer baie netjies, skoon en gerieflik. Het baie lekker gebly.

We just spent the night there, on our way to the West Coast, and it was ideal. Very nice. Neat little house with everything you need and friendly hostess.

Ons het net daar oornag, oppad Weskus toe en dit was ideaal. Baie lekker. Netjiese huisie met alles wat jy nodig het en vriendelike gasvrou.
