A lovely small estate in an 1801 property. Must impressed with Swellendam, a lovely old town with some great buildings. De Kloof had some beautiful gardens and the pool area particularly nice. Breakfast served was excellent. Staff all most kind and delighted, and surprised to have my car cleaned. Quite unexpected. Our room was separate from the main house, all named after a different grape. Sauvignon Blanc was our suite. Huge bathroom. Would stay here again and highly recommend.

Everything about this place was splendid. First and foremost, the host was excellent—he couldn't do enough for me. An absolute gentleman. The place was very clean, with lovely decorations, and the veranda offered spectacular views of the mountains, where a delicious breakfast was served. I also sat there in the evening, and it was peaceful and amazing. The room was spacious, with everything I needed, including a mini-fridge, kettle, and coffee and tea. The bed was comfortable. The outdoor pool looked nice. The area is very safe and secure, with gated parking, and there are two beautiful dogs that rarely bark and are just so loving—well-trained and much better than any alarm system. I don’t say this lightly: I highly recommend this place. The host is friendly, social, and just a lovely person. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. One small thing: The Google Maps address will take you there, but it’s about 400 meters off. Google will tell you to turn right after passing the actual place. My advice is to follow Google but don’t turn right onto the uphill road. Just go back around the corner on the flat road where you came from, and you’ll see the white house set back behind the gates around 3 houses down from that corner street that google puts you on. The host is lovely and offers a wonderful breakfast. If you expect to arrive late or are delayed, please have the common courtesy to inform the host of your late arrival. If you wish to check out very early, requesting breakfast is disrespectful, especially after arriving late for whatever reason. It's important to be considerate and respectful of the host's time and efforts. It's nice to be nice, and when the host is a good person, it's important to show respect and thoughtfulness. Although the host is amazing and would accommodate everyone’s needs, don’t take the mickey. :)

    Comfortable, safe little town with much to offer, two nights minimum stay I would suggest. Very convenient also as a stopover on the way back to Capetown, or indeed travelling in the opposite direction.

    Swellendam is a stunning town.

    Swellendam is a stunning town. All the comforts you need are there and at the same time you can get away into the mountains and outer areas. There are good restaurants and coffee shops and great activities around the area. Mountain biking is what I would go for, but our stay was too short. Lots of history and my family and I were surprised at what this town had to offer. We normally just drive past, but was great to stay over.

    A beautiful little town with a lot to see, do and eat. The restaurants are top notch. We ate at De Vagebond for Supper their food was fantastic with great and friendly service, then we had breakfast at La Belle Alliance their view, food and service were tops. We also had a breakfast at Aan de Eike Guest House, it is a beautiful modern restaurant with lekker food and friendly service. The town is so clean and absolutely beautiful. We love going there. Activities for big and small go to the Fairy Garden. Swellendam is definitely a town to visit!

    Lots of people use this as a one night stop to break their journeys. That is fine, but I would honestly stay an extra night if you are not in a rush. Great place to relax and enjoy their excellent food and hospitality.

    Situated in a residential street less than 100 yards from Swellendam's historic centre, Bergview was a perfect overnight stop on the way back from Knysna to Cape Town. Our room - well equipped with a small kitchen - had its own small stoep to sit out on, just round the corner from the pool. Lidia was the perfect host, and despite what Eskom euphemistically call loadshedding - power cuts to you and me - she conjured up a great breakfast. And for us Brits, it's unbelievably good value!

    Super layout with 2 large bedrooms, front and back patios to relax on in the sun, lovely braai area, dishwasher and washing machine in the kitchen. Bathrooms were great and lots of towels (bath and for swimming). Beds were very comfortable. Unit is in walking distance to the Drosty Museum, Happily coffee shop, Bokmakiri and La Belle Alliance, as well as Grace and Merci and the Saturday Farmer's market.
