We only stayed here one night towards the end of our holiday and it was just perfect. So quiet and stylish and relaxing, with great attention to detail (beautifully presented and generous breakfast). Charming Dutch hosts, who obviously have a real feel and talent for hospitality and design. Well worth the money.

Martin , November 2011

Extrem freundlich und serviceorientiert, wunderbares Quartier in einem der schönsten Orte Südafrikas. Herrlicher Garten.

Paul, November 2011

Very convenient location with restaurants next door and opposite. Beautiful gardens and pleasant rooms. Amazing breakfast – huge choice and beautifully cooked.

Hkjono, November 2011

We were just passing through Swellendam enroute to Franschoek and how happy we were to arrive at Swellendam Country Lodge. It is a pristine, beautiful property on what seems to be the main road of the town. Perfectly located and easy to find. We were met by Heiko who was a fantastic host and very welcoming and informative. The rooms were very well appointed with a very Scandinavian feel to the design. Modern, clean and functional. Beds were very comfortable and we slept like babies after a very nice, relaxed, unfancy meal at Mattsen’s restaurant up the road. The real clincher for this place though is the breakfast. Oh my word! Everything was beautifully fresh, professionally presented and completely delicious. You could really spend a couple of hours with the news paper or a good book just grazing through the selection of cereals, breads, cheeses and cooked items available, they really do an amazing job. Easily one of the best breakfasts I have ever had, beating out 6 star Relais et Chateaux, Aman, Banyan Tree, Michelin style hotels and restaurants worldwide. Well done! I’m not sure how much Swellendam has to offer as we didn’t stick around to find out, but certainly as a place to stay for a few nights or just passing through, this is it.

DZ, November 2011

Zu Beginn unserer Südafrika Reise waren wir (6 Erwachsene und 1 Kind, 5 Jahre) hier wirklich gut beraten. Die Swellendam Country Lodge präsentiert sich in einem sehr schönen Garten. Die Zimmer – separat im Garten gelegen – sind schön, modern eingerichtet und entsprachen allem, was man sich so wünschen kann. Der moderne Frühstücksraum im Haupthaus ist einladend, das Frühstück vom Allerfeinsten! Von hier aus geht es gleich in die Berge – Montague ist einen Ausflug wert! Den Garten mit Pool konnten wir mangels geeigneter Temparaturen leider nicht nutzen, dafür haben wir den Orangenblüten Duft ringsum umso mehr genossen. Herrlich. Das Restaurant next door bietet eine wirklich gute Küche und ist ideal, wenn man gerade gelandet ist und nach dem Dinner nur noch nach nebenan ins Bett “fallen” möchte. So we did. Betty ist eine zuvorkommende Gastgeberin und hilft mit Tipps gerne weiter. Beste Wahl!

Dirk, October 2011

Wunderschönes Ambiente, liebevoll herrgerichtete Zimmer, reichhaltiges Frühstück und sehr nette Gastgeber. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.

Boro, February 2011

This whole property has been stylishly renovated and equipped to a high standard. Rooms are extremely comfortable, spacious and well appointed. Weather very hot during our stay and it was great to relax by the pool. Excellent breakfast the next day sitting on the stoop overlooking the landscaped gardens. Off street parking and location convenient for several nearby eateries. A pity we were only staying one night – we could happily have stayed for longer

Fabbi’s party, September 2010

We stayed here with a group of friends (15 people!) for just one night, moving from Cape Town to Knysna. It would be nice to stay more. Beautiful rooms and well equipped bathrooms. Incredibly beautiful garden, a lot of birds and bird nests on the trees. Great breakfast, wide parking inside. Very quiet surroundings. Bettie gave us good suggestions for dining and she was so kind every minute.

Meren, February 2010

Bettie nos recibió con mucha calidez después de un largo y cansador viaje. Las habitaciones son muy comfortables, sin gran lujo pero muy agradables y limpias. El baño es muy amplio y bien decorado. Lo mejor del lodge es el entorno, la tranquilidad que se respira, con jardines muy lindos y la pileta que invita a zambullirse, ambiente relax. Bettie fue muy amable y nos recomendó lugares para recorrer y cenar. También nos dejó decidir el horario del desayuno ya que teníamos 5 horas de diferencia con Argentina y estabamos muy cansados. El desayuno es ESPECTACULAR!!, de mucha calidad y variedad. Es un lugar al que definitivamente volvería.
