Best Hotel I've stayed in SA. Everything is perfect, from the friendly staff, to the picture perfect location. The whole place is arranged so well it should feature in magazines. And they have a Zebra ;)
I even got an upgrade for free, will definitely come back again.

Mountain view's facilities are exceptional... They really pay attention to detail and put the needs of the client first.

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!
At our arrival we were welcomed by the extremely hospitable and friendly owners, who advised us very kindly about the local restaurants and activities in the area.
The room is very spaceous and has great facilities.
With a pool and great garden, the lodge is a perfect accomodation for a relaxing stay
The breakfast with fresh fruits and local products was also very good.
We would highly recommend the Swellendam Country lodge as the ideal accommodation during your Garden Route trip.
A beautiful farm stay in the winelands, close to Swellendam, Montagu and Robertson! We received such a warm welcome from the staff and had a stunning dinner at their restaurant, Just Amy. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world! Ask to do a wine tasting as well of the single vineyard wines this farm produces and don't leave without trying the farm's pomegranate juice. The rooms are really well equipped and comfortable with everything you need!
Loved the hosts, loved the property, loved the location!
our room was delightful especially the attached balcony overlooking the lush gardens. Oh and did I mention the delicious breakfast? fresh picked mushrooms, homemade preserves,fresh squeezed juice. hosts had great suggestions and made reservations for us for dinner and golf. also wanted to mention the City of Swellendam has a very chill feeling. safe to walk even at night.
Wonderful hotel in a 200 year old Dutch farm. Beautiful surroundings, very tasteful furnishings and a relaxing atmosphere. We had a fantastic room/suite all by ourselves, which was absolutely magnificent and extremely comfortable. Wonderful breakfast with a chef who prepares the most delicious food. This place will make you relax and lose all stress and thoughts of home… Absolute tóp hotel!
This is a great spot for Bontebok park (literally opposite), we got upgraded to a Chalet which was nice, but on the flip side this is because the owner was concerned about putting us in the shared area with contractors. We had everything you could need self catering wise, the rooms were clean and everything nicely presented. The owner was a friendly man and made us feel at home.
It's a lovely spacious house. Everything is clean. There is a little playground outside for the kids. Also a fairly equipped kitchen and a little braai area just outside. So very family oriented. Especially if you are looking for a safe space for kids. Situated in a lovely little farm, that's also safe for the kids. Our host was friendly and accommodating.
Lovely setting alongside the river in a very quiet area. Very comfortable rooms set in a beautiful Zen Garden. No breakfast service but they did provide an excellent choice of food for a self catering breakfast. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful making Restaurant booking and making a great recommendation when it turned out our first choice was full
Very stylish accomodation. Excellent pool area. Friendly pool guy who also washes your car.Excellent breakfast served on terrace. Generator backs up the kitchen to combat load sharing cuts.Easy walk to town and restaurants.The accomodation was beautifully and stylishly decorated. Both breakfasts and staff were delightful.
We loved the quirky little hoenderhok huisie. Great value for money. Everything we needed for a stop over from the Eastern Cape on our way to the Western Cape. Host gave us a warm welcome. Rustic but sparkling clean. Equipped for self catering. Spectacular views to the mountains and real farm experience for the kids.
Great location we found on our way back to Cape Town, we found this place to be perfect for us as it is quite and clean with the farm charm.
Enjoyed seeing animals (Horses, sheep, donkeys, & dogs) and a berry/jam/liqueur farm and tasting room nearby.
Stargazing at night was a wonderful experience.
Amazing place in Swellendam.. incredible views of the mountains. This was a beautiful room with a large balcony looking right at the mountains. The room was lovely with plenty of facilities. Lovely soft fluffy towels and also pooll towels. Fabulous location with lots of restaurants close by.
Looking at the websites we had high expectations for this accommodation, however the only big positive was it's location. It is located in a beautiful area close to restaurants and museums. The reception staff was also very friendly.
The fantastic view of the mountains and the cows is breathtaking. To surround yourself with the wonders of nature at Hoenderhok in Swellendam is magical. I highly recommend the excellent place for a perfect getaway.
An exceptional and well maintained guesthouse, with an exceptional service minded staff and an excellent chef. Swellendam and the surrounding areas have much to offer any kind of visitors. A place to return to.
perfectly located in Swellendam. we had a beautiful room and bathroom, sparkling clean and well appointed. Cynthia is the manager on site and she was fabulous. Breakfast was very good. Highly recommended!!!
lovely situation, handy for Swellendam and the local area, but also in itself. Clean, comfortable and had all we needed with various animals and birds seem not just from exploring but even out the window!
