Housed in a building dating from 1904, this guest house is 25 km from Marloth Nature Reserve and 45 km from Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve. The guest house features family rooms.

Accommodation was perfect, cosy and clean. Personal touch and the cutest dogs. Hosts were so welcoming and even gave us bubbles to celebrate a cycle race that we did. They moved our bikes inside after we were too tired to do anything and gave us breakfast on the go. Fireplace in the room was an absolute treat. Will definitely book again.

    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.

    Excellent guesthouse for a family of 4 (parents and 2 adult children). Friendly host and great location with beautiful view on the garden and the mountains in the background. We had dinner in the restaurant nearby: Republic of Swellendam. Decent food and nice atmosphere. The breakfast in the hotel was excellent!
