Prós: Great place

Contras: There was flys inside the room (something like 10)

Prós: I loved the facilities, friendly and helpful staff as well as the room. Braai facilities which had wood already packed was amazing and the same for the inner fire place. The sherry was a warm welcoming gesture inside the kitchen.

Prós: We really liked the service, breakfast, the pool and the fact that they give you all the equipment to have your own little barbeque.

Prós: We had a lovely stay at , so much so we were devastated to have to leave after only 1 night! The property was stunning and so well finished and stocked. The bedrooms and showers, were very luxurious and the property was just a fantastic place to relax. We were really impressed and would definitely come again. The view from the outside seating area up to hills was amazing and the surrounding area of Swellendhan was also great. We wold highly recommend to walk in the nature reserve up to the waterfall. out of this world.

Contras: Everything was great!

The rooms and bathrooms are very comfortable and well designed with many thoughtful small touches. The staff were all delightful. We enjoyed the delicious afternoon tea and breakfast which are provided for all guests. We also ate dinner there the first night of our stay which was very good. A lovely swimming pool too. Highly recommended.

Contras: Nothing!

Prós: Characterful, Good location in town, helpful staff, Nice dining room.

Contras: Some updating might be worthwhile

Prós: Beautiful guesthouse. Every need catered for. Well situated. Definitely be back.

Prós: This was our second stay at Schoone Oordt and it was just as wonderful as before. The setting, the service, the simply stunning home and guest rooms are all part of what makes staying here such a treat. Alison and her team especially Fidney are wonderful hosts and we can't recommend this gem of a guesthouse enough. We were also very impressed with the delicious dinner that we were able to enjoy in the conservatory.

Prós: Owner and staff were incredible and made us feel extremely welcome and comfortable. Beautiful period Country House. Perfect location with stunning rooms.

Prós: Charming and attentive hosts. Courteous and professional staff. Fine food and drink. Attention to detail in all aspects of the guest's experience.

Rooms are top quality, quiet, great pool aea and good restaurants on walking distance. Trekking trails - long or short - in nature reserve close by.

Prós: This is a beautifully restored Victorian house. In building the new guest rooms Alison & Richard have given meticulous attention to detail - but whilst immensely professional it is at the same time very friendly and relaxing. Alison does the most fantastic breakfasts! We loved it.

Prós: Very friendly hosts.Great welcome.Fantastic breakfasts.Accommodation first class.

Prós: This guest house is an excellent place to stay at, while you are in Swellandam. The accommodation and the food where excelent.

Prós: It was a perfect stay due to the commitment and attitude of the owners and staff

Contras:

Contras: They had double booked our room, so we did not have the suite we had reserved

Prós: Beautiful property in a beautiful setting. Our room was spotless and spacious. The staff were all friendly and accommodating. We had an evening meal which as with the breakfast was excellent. How on earth the porter managed to carry both our cases at once, I have no idea.. they are not light! He’s a star and in the morning before we left, we found him washing our car!

Contras: Nothing we didn’t like

Prós: Very friendly staff!

Prós: De Kloof exudes luxury and exclusivity. From the manner in which this historic estate and buildings are maintained, managed and run to those little often overlooked extras one seldom experiences. We enjoyed a peaceful stay in pleasant surroundings with attentive staff. An unexpected luxury was finding my vehicle being washed unrequested, this is only the second establishment EVER this has been done for me - so unexpected and so welcome !!

Contras: I must quietly mention that at breakfast the staff weren’t always present, I did eventually go looking for assistance, but that doesn’t detract from a lovely stay. We will return.

Prós: Lovely old hotel in the pretty town of Swellendam. Very comfortable, great restaurant for dinner, very nice garden and pool. Friendly staff. We enjoyed our visit so much that we plan to stay there again when we visit South Africa next year.

Prós: I was really pleasantly surprised with the whole experience and the Hosts/owners of De Kloof are really caring people genuinely interested in the well being and comfort of their guests.

Prós: The Hotel was in an idilic setting and offerred complete relaxation. The swimming pool was inviting and the little touches helped make the stay so enjoyable.

Prós: It was clean but extremely remote

Contras: There is only 1 room with a balcony and the location is totally isolated - there was hardly a car on the village street at 9pm.

Prós: The owners here had put so much thought and effort into making this stay so memorable. The attention to detail was amazing and the service just perfect. The rooms and pool were kept immaculately and the staff were superb. The owner even drove out to collect us one evening when we missed a turning whilst walking home and weren't sure which way to get back!! There is nothing we could fault about this guest house and it lives up to its name as a luxury estate. Would highly recommend it to anyone and would certainly go back.

Prós: This beautiful period cape dutch hotel is a real treat. The hosts were very friendly. The hotel and its grounds are gorgeous. A really nice place to stay.

Contras: My wife found the bed a bit soft. Coffee not so good. That's all i can think of so, it shows it must have been good!

Contras:

Prós: We first stayed at Jan Harmsgat on our way from Cape Town to the Garden Route, and were so delighted with our stay that we changed our return travel plans to stop off here again on the way back! Our first stay was in a lovely suite which had a great little bed for our daughter which she loved. And the room itself was stunning - beautifully decorated and lots of lovely little thoughtful touches. We felt very fortunate to have picked Jan Harmsgat for our stop off. We arrived late and were made to feel so welcome by all the staff at dinner. Which was also excellent! On our return trip the suite wasn't available so we stayed in their recently purchased new property just next door. This was also stunning, and Francois (the manager) made our daughter very happy when he picked us up to drive us to dinner in their own safari vehicle. There was also the amazing pool to swim in the following morning. It's such a stunning location, and the property itself is beautiful but the people working there are also fabulous and they really make the place what it is. Thanks to Francois for his lovely welcome on our second stay, and to the other staff who helped us on our first stay. But special mention must go to the wonderful Leandra, who went out of our way to make us feel so welcome and who made sure we could enjoy dinner while our daughter had time to play. Thank you! This is definitely one of the best hotel experiences we have ever had.

Prós: What an exquisite setting ! Gaikou Lodge is at the end of a long road leading from the centre of town so that it gives one the impression of staying in the midst of beautifully quiet countryside. There is an air of peace and tranquility about Gaikou Lodge which is maintained by the calm presence and quiet welcome of the appealing reception staff. Our accommodation was faultless - everything that one needed was of excellent quality and presented with such an individual touch by the placing of delightful sprigs of lavender highlighting the bedding and toiletries. Breakfast was first class with a good choice of nourishing items that complemented the overall high standard of this establishment. There is an enjoyable river walk available for those keen to further explore the beautiful countryside and all that it has to offer. We can't wait to find an excuse to stop in Swellendam again.

Lovely indigenous planting around all the cottages and pretty pool area.

Contras: Because of the 2 hourly power cuts in S Africa, no lights air con and wifi. This was just before dinner, leaving us in a dark warm room. (this was obviously not the fault of the hotel).
