"We had a lovely stay at the lodge - everything was clean and comfortable, hosts friendly. Breakfast was delicious."

"We only stayed for 1 night but it had all the amenities necessary for a comfortable stay. Nice secure parking and restaurants right next door and across the road. Location was excellent and easy to find. We received a warm welcome on our arrival. We stayed in a luxury room which had a huge bathroom, so welcomed at the end of a day of driving. Breakfast was an amazing feast of all types of food. There was also a pool area but we were there in winter so didn't make use of this. Would highly recommend."

"Lovely B&B located in a great part of town. The room was located in a garden setting and tastefully furnished with a very comfortable bed and huge bathroom. Breakfast was amazing and the car wash as an added bonus."

"Was the best B&B we have stayed in, good directions, and a warm reception when we got there. Good information on eateries and their menues. Wanderful breakfast realy set us up for the day. "

"Betty gave us a warm welcome on arrival and we really loved the layout of the lodge with rooms reminding us of the Asian style where each has own private balcony amongst plenty of greenery and foliage. The most incredible fruit platter of homegrown fruits you can imagine and peaceful surroundings. Great Italian deli over road for supper. Thanks for a convenient and enjoyable stay twice round!"

"Very gracious host, beautifully kept gardens, fantastic breakfast. A must."

"Charming place and very warm welcome. We enjoyed very much to stay there. The breakfast is gorgeous and the rooms styled. Bravo."

The cottage, the breakfast, the pool area, the garden, everything wonderful.
The hosts helped us with lots of information and as well with a problem we had with our rental car.
Thank you very much for every thing."

"A thoroughly warm welcome from both our hosts. A wonderful two days rest after a long flight from the UK. Unreservedly recommend as a place to stay in Swellendam. Koolmans Restaurant provided the cream on the cake with a wonderful evening meal. Nicholas"

"Delightful accommodation in beautiful surroundings. Excellent standard in everything. Comfortable room, hotel standard room and en suite.
Professional and friendly welcome."

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

"We were made most welcome, given concise information. The rooms were beautifully fitted and comfortable. Our fist visit to a South African B&B made me proud to show off to my English friend what we can do! "

"The room was impeccable, beautiful, the breakfast delicious and the welcome warm!"

"Good room, very nice owners, with a warm attention. The breakfast was fantastic."

"This was a pit-stop for us travelling from Simons Town to Knysna so we didn't get to spend much time here. The rooms were well designed, the gardens were lovely and breakfast was amazing!"

"The welcoming and most helpful hosts; the superb breakfast served on the veranda and the pleasant garden with its good sized swimming pool, played a big part in our enjoyment of Swellendam Country Lodge. Overall we would rate our stay highly and would revisit. However we did find our room small and would take care to book one of the bigger garden rooms another time. The situation is on the outskirts of the town and being set back from the road is peaceful at night."

"This place is an absolute pearl! The rooms are extra and the service outstanding, the breakfast as well."

"We stayed for 3 nights over Christmas 2008. The accommodation is in a quiet, attractive part of Swellendam.

We found the welcome very warm and friendly and the breakfast food was lovely and plentiful. We were provided with lots of helpful information about restaurants and sightseeing. The rooms are set in beautiful gardens with a very pleasant pool area with a moderate sized pool and nice seating/loungers around. The rooms are quiet, pleasant and very clean. The bathrooms have really good showers and are well equipped.

We would happily recommend a stay."

"We were absolutely satisfied about our stay in the Swellendam Country Lodge. Thanks to Bettie for her great hospitality and the superb breakfast. We really enjoyed our stay!"

"Had a great stay - the accommodation was excellent! The breakfasts were first class and our hosts were very attentive. Would recommend this place to anyone. "

"Great reception with lovely room and surroundings. Outstanding breakfast and professional service. Definitely worth their 4 star rating."

The breakfast - served on the veranda - is simply fabulous.

My wife and I would highly recommend this establishment."

"We had an excellent stay here. Room was nice and very clean. Service is superb. Bettie is very enthusiastic and hospitable. The breakfast is great and the location with the nice garden and all the fruit trees gives a good place to settle down. Really a place to come back, again and again."

"After a long flight and a 3 hour trip from Cape Town, this peaceful oasis was perfect. A warm welcome awaited us from the proprietors of this well run B & B. A short rest and a leisurely dip in the pool soon resuscitated us and off we went to savour the local culinary delights. The following morning we enjoyed a delightful breakfast outside on the terrace. After a couple of nights at Swellendam Country Lodge we were ready to continue with the rest of our holiday.
"

"With hosts that will bend over backwards to make sure you feel comfortable and at home and a gorgeous setting just outside of town - Swellendam Country Lodge is a great place to stay while visiting Swellendam!"

"We had a lovely stay here, an absolute chilled out place to be. Lovely breakfast, great owner, comfy rooms and a good pool.

"Very clean, convenient and well positioned mid way between Cape Town and Knysna, and within walking distance to nearby restaurants.
Rooms are well appointed how ever on the night of our stay we could have done with either a fan or air con as we found the rooms hot and lacking ventilation ( opening the windows may be an option but security is always a concern if travelling with younger family members).
Breakfast was superb with continental and hot choices.
Highly recommended - just get the rooms better equipped for hot summer nights.
"

"The accommodation was a nice clean lodge with a lot of nice details in accessories, accommodation, breakfast and surprises."

"Accommodation was imaculately clean and the Owner's are extremely friendly and accommodating with a hearty breakfast served.

There is also an outstanding Restaurant next door to the lodge which you can walk to and the food is tremendous.

Very happy stay.

"Our stay at Swellendam Country Lodge was a wonderful experience. The grounds at the Lodge were breathtaking. The rooms were clean and beautifully done. The breakfast was overwhelming with all of the choices that were each very delicious and so beautifully presented. Unfortunately our stay was too short, so we hope to be able to return someday and enjoy and explore more of Swellendam again."
