Good staff
The staff were very attentive and welcoming. The hotel was in a good area of Swellendam and easy to get to the nature reserve from here. We would be happy to stay again!
The rooms could do with a heater, but the mattress…
All good and as expected. Superb fine dining restaurant (La Sosta) just a few minutes walk away (but you'll normally need to reserve in advance), and breakfast at Tredici is also something to remember!
We stayed at…
The atmosphere is peaceful and the owners are such good hosts.
N/A
Es war ein sehr angenehmer und schöner Aufenthalt dort. Die Besitzerin und auch das Personal war sehr zuvorkommend.
Einzig der Mülleimer im Bad war nicht gelehrt, aber das hat die Atmosphäre nicht gestört.
Sauberes Gästezimmer, gute Lage an der Garden Route/zum Bontebok National Park,
nette Gastgeberin

Nothing to do with the booking above. The same market, priced the same way, for if this one is not it.
