Perfect location, loved the country feel, the fresh air, waking up to the sounds of birds chirping, the neighboring farm animals, the scenery. The accommodation was the perfect size and a true home away from home. Very comfortable and cosy. Lilly, the resident staffi was an absolute charm. George and his staff were very friendly and accommodating.

We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle.
We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle. From the view and facilities to the helpfulness of the farm mangeress, Tanya, everything was lovely. Tanya went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and gave us all a very warm welcome (including the fur kids!). There are beautiful waterfalls and rockpools that you can hike to and there is also a river and a dam with kayaks.
There is a huge indoor fireplace for the winter getaways and a huge undercover outdoor braai with dinner table and chairs. We brought board games, cards and puzzles and had endless laughs around the table.
If I absolutely had to moan about something, it would be the pressure of the shower. It is very low and soft - but! ....honestly we were swimming so much it really wasn't a big thing. I just can't think of anything else that was a negative :-)
The wood fire hot tub outside is a super bonus!
We will definitely be back!

What a surprise awaited us.
What a surprise awaited us. This town has a very warm and relaxed atmosphere and we didn't plan long enough to stay and explore all that it has to offer. A one night stop over was not enough. Colonial and Dutch influences in the architecture and a lovely selection of shops and restaurants and places of historical interest, which we simply didn't have time to see, but will be back to explore.

The TV did not work.
The TV did not work. When we checked it was broken and it looked like the lady hosting us knew about it but did not care to mention that. When we call about this TV not working at night she said I quote "Just press all the buttons until something happens sir" we were shocked! In the morning her apology for this also did not sound sincere as you could tell she was well aware that it does not work. Went to the bathroom at night and when switching on the light the electricity blew and the whole place did not have lights for the rest of the night. When we mentioned this in the morning it was a known issue and they blamed load shedding for it.
My partner was looking forward to swimming the pool was GREEN! and quite clearly not been maintained for years. It is nothing like what you see on the listing, you would be scared to even stick a finger in it. It's the type of dirt that you can't see at the bottom of it. We asked for the bicycles they said we could use on the listing and there were only two bicycles, the one had a flat tire so we couldn't use it. The other one that we had to share was not maintained well and also had a chain locking the whole time. We were just shocked that there are only two bicycles available for guests.
The Restaurant on the other hand was a pleasant experience. The gentleman hosting is very friendly and authentic it's amazing. The food is value for money as well. Had one of the most amazing meals the free breakfast is also good value and a proper meal. Wifi good and the music is lovely and the place all together has nice indoor and outdoor calming seating. We could come back for the dining experience it was exceptional. My partner and I spent the week talking about how calm and authentic the gentlemen hosting us were. He was just an exceptional experience I can't stress enough.
In summary, we would come back to dine definitely!. But to sleep No, don't see how they justify the cost for it as well.

Swellendam is a beautiful little town with a deep history and friendly people. It feels safe to walk around and is inviting to explore. We especially enjoyed the sights, sounds and aromas of the morning market on Saturday.

In the past I always just passed Swellendam on my way to another destination. This time I spent three days and what a beautiful historical town it is, surrounded by the Langeberg mountains. Friendly people and excellent food especially De Vagebond restaurant where we also had the opportunity to watch the rugby during loadshedding and experienced the lovely Ostrich meat dishes!
This self catering house has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The house is well maintained with a private swimming pool and braai area.
We were kept up to date before arrival on anything we needed to know.
They had an issue with some of the plugs and stove tripping, but we were quickly sorted out with a complementory
lunch, and a new counter top plate for cooking by the next morning. Very good service, with friendly people.
What a gem! The host, Hector is an excellent host seeing to our every need. The special touch like the homemade biscuits and hot chocolate, showed the great care that was taken to make guests feel at home. A book with all the information of the town and area, made good reading. Beautiful garden with the bird feeder was so special. The bed was super comfortable. We can highly recommend this establishment.
The hotel, common rooms, bedrooms, outside spaces and pool area are absolutely beautiful and designed in a gorgeous colonial style. Everything has been thoughtfully arranged. Dinner and breakfasts were excellent and very creative. All staff especially the owners could not do enough for their guests. If you are staying in Swellendam, then please stay here!
The house is beautiful and the living areas are spacious. The beds were very comfortable and all had electric blankets. There is also large fireplace that was great on the cold nights. There are hikes into the nature reserve directly from the farm. We really enjoyed our stay and the kids especially enjoyed seeing the animals on the farm.
Amazing stay! We were looking for something along the N2 road and we are very happy that we found this place! This farm has all kind of animals including giraffes and wildebeest which roam free. Amongst which you can walk around. Also there is a dam in which we took a morning swim. It is the best stay we ever had!
The owner was very friendly and welcoming. It's in a very clean and quiet area close to town. The room was so spacious and with an extra bed and the kitchen have everything I needed from microwave, fridge, stove, cutlery and to top it up they had a washing machine for my laundry
The host Etienne was the best. He explained us all about the history of Swellendam and the area and had lots of great tips for travelling in the area and the wine lands. We definitely recommend people to go here. Also lovely pool area in super nice surroundings.
This cottage was charming, cozy and very comfortable - a definite must stay if you are in the Swellendam area!
The sunrise and sunset views from the patio are amazing. George and the entire staff are superb hosts - all very helpful and attentive.
the Hotel is one of its kind, old and classic in a nice way.
