"We can definitely recommend Aan de Oever Guesthouse. It is a lovely guesthouse with very spacious rooms, friendly and helpful staff and a wonderful breakfast situated on a beautiful plot in a very special town.

We travelled with our toddler and found everyone to be very welcoming and accommodating in that regards as well.

We will definitely stay there again and recommend to all. "

"Beautiful place in a lovely setting, with delightful and most helpful staff."

"We enjoyed our stay in Aan de Oever -although it was only one night in transit. We had stayed before in November 2011. We received a very nice welcome - juice on arrival and given a very comfortable room.

The breakfast was extensive based on local produce whilst our car was washed by the gardener/handy man who kept the grounds looking immaculate.We were given some muffins for our onward journey and made to feel very welcome by the pleasant and efficient new manageress. Very recommended! Note we enjoyed a lovely home cooked evening meal with a set menu from the local restaurant only 10 mins walk which was excellent!"

"Wonderful! Lovely rooms, lovely setting with friendly staff. Will recommend to all my friends!"

"Aan de Oever is truly a hidden gem in Swellendam. We were so surprised by the combination of great service and a wonderful room. The room was very spacious, luxurious and romantic, and the view of the Langeberg Mountains was stunning. We will most certainly return in the near future."

"We stayed only 1 night in November 2009.

Very friendly and helpful - we had a great evening with a great Braai with 3 other couples - all from different countries. Unfortunately are itinerary only allowed us to stay 1 night - next time we will stay longer."

"Superb location to explore the region. The guesthouse is marvellous and every time you are made welcome as if you never left. "

"Very pleasant stay, delicious breakfasts!"

"The room was really nice - the setting was beautiful - breaksfast was great

and the 'padkos' was a really nice touch"

"Julie is a great host! She has a great eye for detail! She made us feel very welcome and the guesthouse is very lovely! We enjoyed our stay at the guesthouse very much."

"Accommodation was excellent and breakfast most enjoyable. Reception and service were also excellent. "

"A very warm welcome

The description was most accruate and we enjoyed our brief stay."

"We were really sorry we had reserved only two nights at Aan de Oever. Even it the whole area had not been so beautiful and interesting, Riaan and Julie made our short stay in their beautiful guest house one of the best ever.

"We were really sorry we had reserved only two nights at Aan de Oever. Even it the whole area had not been so beautiful and interesting, Riaan and Julie made our short stay in their beautiful guest house one of the best ever. They are so thoughtful and helpful and the special touches, e.g. 'turn down' each night with a chocolate on your pillow, and to our utter delight and amazement, 'padkos' brought to the car as we drove away. A really special place.

Sheila and Stan Shear."

"This is the perfect stop en route to Cape Town. The accommodation is of a very high standard and the family makes you feel at home from the first moment. On a next visit we will surely stay for more nights to explore the region which has a lot to offer."

"Thanks for a great time at your guesthouse. The welcome was warm, the service excellent and the rooms were beautiful (weÕve very appreciated the air-condition with outside temperatures above 35¡C).

We really enjoyed the pool area and the lovely garden with a wide range of different birds. É.and not to forget: the excellent breakfast and the Òcar wash serviceÓ. Unfortunately weÕve stayed only for one night but we certainly will stay there again when we will be in Swellendam next time. A superior guesthouse!"

"A very good experience. Very kind and caring down to earth South African hosts. Can absolutely recommend this to local and foreign visitors."

"A beautifully appointed venue and Riaan and Julie were most welcoming and accomodating hosts. Don't like the fact that there is no door to close off the bathroom/toilet area - a bit too open for us!!"

"Magnificent stay in Aan de Oever. Very nice people and high class rooms. "

"Thank you for a wonderful stay. We will recommend to others."

"Aan De Oever Guest House is a beautiful guesthouse which pays attention to all the details and makes one feel not just at home but special. It deserves 5 stars. The breakfast was fantastic. Everything was wonderful. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to friends!"

"When visiting Aan de Oever we felt very welcome right from the start. You can feel these people like giving you a good time. You are directly provided with city info, providing a great start for discovering the city. Please take the advice for the restaurants they give you, these are the best.
If you are lucky enough to get through the entire breakfast you have made yourself the best breakfast ever. They've got cereal, toast, yoghurt and what more. In addition to that you can choose a warm breakfast, which tastes great.
No need to say I like this place very much and would advise anyone that is visiting South Africa you should plan at least 4 nights here.
Why am I so positive? Because you hope for the best and you are surprised when you get much more."

"It is a very nice and quiet place. All over you see lovely flowers, roses, and grapes. There are also plums. Also you will see lots of birds, and it is near Stellenbosch and near good restaurants, but you have to drive. We can recommend this place, and would not hesitate to stay there again."

"Nestled against the backdrop of the Langeberg Mountain Range and set in beautiful gardens is this very welcoming guest house. Meticulous attention to detail from beautifully appointed rooms to absolutely scrumptious breakfasts served on the verandah ensures a memorable stay. It's a wonderful taste of beautiful Cape Dutch architecture and hospitality."

"We received a great welcome and our room had a great view and was beautiful. Breakfast was really good and well organised. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome and were very helpful. Assisted with information and maps etc. We loved it and had a great time. Great stay.
"

"A quiet place with beautiful nature surroundings. Watch birds from your veranda! Fine, spacious room in a very friendly atmosphere, helpful and careful services. Fine possibility to be your own. I am sure we will be back!"

"I can really recommend the stay at this lovely little place. Next time I only have to stay longer to enjoy it more! "

"Wir haben hier insgesamt 2 Nächte verbracht und uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Personal war sehr liebenswürdig und aufmerksam. Die Zimmer waren sehr hübsch und gemütlich. Wir können dieses Guesthouse wärmstens empfehlen und kommen bestimmt noch einmal vorbei.

We stayed here a total of 2 nights and felt very welcome here. The staff were wonderful. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable. We can genuinely recommend this guesthouse and will definitely come and visit again."

"The stay at Aan de Oever Guesthouse is one of the best stay we had in South Africa. "

"My wife, 2 yr old daughter and I stayed here for just one night. But that was all that was needed to savour the warm hospitality of Aan De Oever. The beautiful fruit breakfast enjoyed at the foot of stunning mountain scenery must not be missed."

A wonderful guest house in Swellendam where we felt very welcome. The staff are very friendly. We stayed here for 2 nights and would recommend it without hesitation. The rooms were lovely and the beautiful garden really impressed us."

"What a wonderful surprise it was to be greeted with a cup of tea and a genuine welcome. The little touches that existed throughout the establishment added great value to what that we felt. We shall certainly be going again."

"Fabulous accommodation - absolutely loved the themes in the different rooms. Very helpful in recommending and booking local restaurants."

"We only stayed for one night but the room and breakfast were great and Julie and her team we're all very friendly and helpful. We will definitely be staying there again on our return to the Western Cape."

"Lovely African-themed rooms in a beautiful garden setting with wonderful views over the river to the towering hills.

The very ample and nicely presented breakfast was supplemented by a 'picnic hamper' of fruit and muffins we were given to speed us on our way. Another thoughtful touch was the overnight washing of our car - much needed after some of the dirt roads we had crossed!
A delightful stay."

Unfortunately we were in Swellendam for a conference and as such could not take full advantage of the beautiful setting of the guest house. However, after an enjoyable and interesting breakfast we departed, knowing that when we are in the area again we would definitely stay at Aan de Oever and for a longer period. "

"What a gorgeous little place? It is like staying at home with a wonderful couple as your hosts. I would highly recommend you stay here."

We had the Owl room, a lovely room expertly created in what was the eves of the property. Our own private staircase and balcony. Breakfasts were fabulous and everyone was extremely warm helpful and friendly (despite breaking a pot while we were there..) Walking distance to all amenities if you are stopping off in Swellendam we highly recommend you stop there!"

"A very warm welcome from Riaan and Julie immediately made us feel at home together with a nice cool drink. The whole setting of the guest house is delightful and the gardens are particularly pleasing. Our room was all the more pleasant for having air conditioning. The atmosphere of Aan de Oever is very relaxing and we look forward to a longer stay next time. A clean car and lunchtime fruit greeted us in the morning, which was a delightful touch. The 4 star rating is certainly well deserved.

"We were lucky enough to find this lovely place in Swellendam for an overnight stay en route to Cape Town and only wished we could have stayed longer. Aan de Oever is a real gem. Extremely comfortable and peaceful with a lovely garden and pool. A truly relaxing haven on a very hot day.
The room was beautifully furnished and the beds comfortable. Breakfast on the terrace was excellent and the extra touches of a welcome drink and a light snack to take with us were much appreciated.
The service was warm and friendly and we would certainly recommend to friends and stay again ourselves if we return to Swellendam."

"The B&B is quite nice with excellent service and a lovely garden. The town however is rather lacking in activity (and good restaurants) unless one has time to settle in for several days and hike the nearby mountains."

"We only stayed one night as a stopover on our way to the garden route. It was a little gem with beautiful country gardens sloping down to a river with an amazing mountain backdrop. We stayed in the honeymoon suite which was very private and luxurious. We were served breakfast in the garden under a lovely old tree which was pure heaven as well as a bottle of bubbly when we arrived. The recommendation of evening meal was also great. We could easily have stayed forever."
