We stayed here for two nights on our way from Cape Town to the Garden Route to explore De Hoop Nature Reserve. Our room had a very comfortable bed with two chairs, a fridge and a TV with Netflix. There were also cups and glasses as well as coffee powder, tea and milk. The bathroom was large and clean and well equipped with a shower and bathtub. There were also plenty of sockets in the room and on both sides of the bed. The hotel is located in a quiet side street with a view of the mountains. It has a common room and a communal terrace. Breakfast (7 - 9 am) is served either inside or outside depending on the weather. It is prepared by the owners themselves and consists of coffee or tea and orange juice, a beautifully presented glass of muesli, yoghurt and fruit as well as a plate of eggs (p.e. scrambled eggs), bacon, tomatoes and mushrooms and toast with butter and honey. And the breakfast tasted very good and we also really liked the atmosphere in the breakfast area. The owner also gave us tips for our excursion to De Hoop Nature Reserve and for our further trip along the Garden Route. Overall, everyone was super friendly and helpful. We were able to park in the secure courtyard without any problems. There were also restaurants within walking distance.

There was a pool in the garden, but unfortunately there was currently no water in it. As it wasn't that warm in the evenings during our stay, it was no problem for us in this case.

Great location, just off the N2 in a quiet residential street but within walking distance to several restaurants. Comfortable room, great bed & shower. Patrick & Gray were perfect hosts, Patrick was a mine of information both locally for a great hike and future holiday options. Lovely breakfast on the patio looking out on the mountains. Perfect!

This place is a gem! The room was very cozy, the bed was super comfy, the breakfast was delicious and the garden was a delight!! I had such a great weekend away. Thank you Patrick (and Gray) for a fabulous stay. I'll see you again... hopefully soon.

The main door to the room was 'sticky' and difficult to open.

This is a nice B&B run by a very friendly host. The breakfast was outstanding. The property is in a very safe and central part of Swellendam. Altogether, I would recommend staying here.

The room was comfortable, but, in terms of value for money, we stayed in much more modern rooms at similar rates elsewhere in South Africa. This is not the quietest of B&Bs: sounds from the living room and kitchen could clearly be heard in our room.

The value for money. The staff is always available to assist. Swellendam is beautiful. The room was adequately equipped. The breakfast was great.

Wifi is a little weak. The room was not completely clean. Hot water only lasted for my partner's shower. Passage is a bit noisy. Too little blankets.

Amazing stay, perfect quiet retreat! Patrick and staff went above and beyond to accommodate. Great recommendations for what to do in the area; a ride home from dinner when it got dark; amazing breakfasts and a beautiful home. As a solo female traveler, they made sure I felt safe. Thanks again!

breakfast was excellent, enhanced by the beautiful views from the deck on which it was served.

The TV should have been checked before we arrived as it was not connected to the internet. The information brochure in the room was woefully inadequate. For example, there were no instructions for the TV.

This place was a true surprise for us. Such great value for money and in a nice area in Swellendam. The best thing though was the lovely hosts. They are a couple and treat you more like friends than guests. When we arrived we were offered to join the braai they prepared for other guests, which we gladly did. The food was fantastic and we enjoyed it on the great terrace with the other guests. They also offered to do our washing for a small fee and gave us so many great tips for our onward journey. Thanks again for the tip to stop at the Baleia Winery. We had a great time and would definitely come back! It's an amazing place to just relax for a little while.

We didn't use the pool area much, but it seemed like it hasn't been used in a while and might benefit from some work. It didn't bother us though.

One of my favourite places I've stayed on my whole trip through Africa. Patrick is one of the best hosts ever! He helped me with so many things during my stay. I couldn't thank him enough. If you have the opportunity to sample his cooking don't hesitate, he's a master chef!! I couldn't recommend this place enough if you're staying in Swellendam it's a must!
