Super lovely people that run this place with passion! The accommodation was spacious, cozy and well equipped and staying on a Berry Farm is something special. We enjoyed the Tastings and possibility to purchase some of the jams, liquors and mustard that are made here. Also the surrounding landscape and scenery made us very happy guests. Thanks!

Jan Harmsgat Country House is set in a historic 17th-century farmhouse surrounded by the Langeberg Mountains and the Breede River. It is decorated throughout with classical Victorian furnishings and features a restaurant, bar and outdoor swimming pool.

Absolute gem! Very nicely appointed, generously big rooms with extraordinary attention to details and personal touches. The estate as well as the food is top notch. Make sure to ask for a sunset Picknick with the Land Rover. Francois the General Manager also is a total beauty! Highly recommend!

This was our second visit to Bibi's Joy and we were not disappointed. It is comfortable, spacious and off the grid - no worries about loadshedding. Peter, as always, is a great communicator and will respond within minutes to any questions one might have. This year he added two rechargable fans for the bedrooms - this was great as our weather was a bit on the warm side. Bibi's Joy is very quiet, private and in a very natural environments. Great place to relax and unwind and yet be relatively close to Swellendam.

    The house was absolutely gorgeous, straight out of a magazine. It felt so luxurious. We had everything we needed and more! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the farm and it really felt like a home away from home. The owners, Marthalie and Neels, were so kind and hospitable. They were always available when needed and treated us like family!

    Nice and quiet location with a great hostess. Private house with an extra room and small private kitchen to rent out. Separate entrance so you’re completely independent. Beautiful view of the hills during breakfast. We also used it as a base to visit De Hoop which is quite a ride but worth visiting and still having the luxury of good restaurants and coffee bars in town.

    It's well located in the town, and yet peaceful and quiet. The room was a nice size and clean and comfortable. We didn't eat their famous dinner, but breakfast was carefully prepared.

    Close to everything but far enough away to still be peacefull and quiet. Room is tucked away in the back of a beautiful little garden, with birdsong. Bed was a nice size and there were lots of warm blankets. Swellendam is a gorgeous town, I hope to be back soon.
