“We (my wife, my son and I) stayed here for one night and we are so happy with our stay there. Anthony and his son were so welcoming although we arrived quite late in the evening. Our room was clean, spacious and fresh, and the breakfast is very good and fulfilling. We would like to highlight that Anthony and Rebecca are genuinely kind, warm, and hospitable hosts to us. In fact the whole family (A+R and their two sons) is so nice (they even babysat our son while we had breakfast), and we ended up having a two-hour coffee break/chit-chat session with them before leaving. On top of all this, when we woke up in the morning, our car had been washed. Needless to say, we recommend this place to everyone!”

“Exceptional accomodation! Even more beautiful than the photos. You should visit Swellendam just to stay at The Haven. I cannot speak highly enough of our experience for our wedding anniversary, and only wish we could've stayed longer. Extremely comfortable bed, great quality linens - the best night sleep I have had in a while! Lullaby to sleep from the crickets, and awoken by the cheerful Cockerell! Millions of stars and a fabulous braai/fire pit to spend a quiet evening, feeling truly at home. Wonderful attention to detail, kitchen appliances and supplies were all great quality and a pleasure to cook with. Very friendly and respectable hosts who catered to our every need and made us feel so welcome. We would love to come and stay again. This is the only place to consider staying when visiting the charming town of Swellendam.”
