The garden is absolutely beautiful, and the rooms are really well equipped and comfortable.
All you want for a comfortable stay is provided, plus a few little extras just to add 'a cherry on the top'.
Recommend it highly."

Miskien net een voorstel - 'n braaiplek voor die kamers op die stoep? daar is genoeg ruimte en dit sal baie gesellig wees om daar te braai en kuier. Nogmaals dankie aan Tielman & Corrie vir hulle voortreflike diens en gasvryheid.

What a beautiful place! Rooms utterly luxurious and beautiful. The bathrooms are outstanding and modern. Breakfast was of the highest quality, will definitely stay there again. Just one suggestion - a place to braai in front of the rooms. Thank you Tielman & Corrie for your outstanding service and hospitality!"

"Could not have asked for more. Tielman and his wife went out of their way to make sure we were all comfortable and our bikes were locked up safe and sound. On race day we all awoke at 3h30 to get to swellendam in time for our start at 6am. Tielman already had the coffee ready and cereals out for us to feed our faces before we tackled the ride. WOW !! that is what is called service MANY THANKS !!!! Saturday evening the braai fire was lit and we relaxed beside the pool with a few cold beers and a few bottles of the region's finest red wine . Once again Tielman and his wife gave us the use of the kitchen to prepare our rolls and salad's and the use of the crockery and cutlery .

Even when we returned our clothes were neatly folded up and packed away for us !!!! What a pleasure !!!!!

The setting was awesome so tranquil and beautiful !!!

A Big thanks once again !!!!"

It was just perfect! Will never forget the very old-world breakfast table décor – beautiful! The warm breakfast prepared by our host was delicious and tastefully presented. Our rooms were very interestingly furnished - we felt like we were taken back to 1906 when the house was built!"

"Despite the weather being cold and wet, we were given a warm welcome at Airlies and were treated to all the creature comforts needed. Every detail had been carefully considered and provided in the room. Items that emphasised our hosts' generous hospitality were a carafe of sherry, tea and coffee with rusks, a box of tissues, shampoo and bubble bath. The breakfast table was beautifully set and the plates were decorated with pretty flowers. The food was delicious and a good choice available.

The house had a lovely ambience with its high ceilings and wooden floors. There was also a wonderful garden to wander through with huge pecan trees, a variety of fruit trees, olive trees and a long walkway covered with grapevines.
