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.

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!
Loved the warm bedding, the air fryer was a life saver as we arrived late the evening, the fibre internet is a dream for any working individual and the capsule coffee machine makes sure you get a good cuppa! The stay was so lovely and the hosts are warm and nice people without being in your space. I loved the local recommendations and the lovely chat over a cup of coffee. What a lovely experience in the beautiful Swellendam
Everything was beyond our exspectations. The owner Lizette and her family were so kind and welcoming. They shared with us their special evening dinner of Snoek and sweet potatoes. What a treat. The old farmhouse is most delightfully decorated with old Dutch flavor and history. The garden is full of flowers and special places to rest. Pool was very cold, but refreshing.
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.
Warm welcome, super prestine clean, confort to the Max. Ĺocation exceptional views on the riverbed.
Definately appreciated the recpm. For diner at Republic Swellendam- that is a must for anyone !
PS one of the view places on which the web pages dont lie, you get more than what you see.
Thank you will recommend this definately.
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.
On arrival the welcome was warm and friendly, including the willingness to go the extra mile if the need arises. Loved the feel at home cozy room, the pool and the area around the pool. Elianthe Guesthouse will definitely see my wife and I again, hopefully sooner than later, Thank you for very much Cliff and Elize Sands.
Amazing stay! We were looking for something along the N2 road and we are very happy that we found this place! This farm has all kind of animals including giraffes and wildebeest which roam free. Amongst which you can walk around. Also there is a dam in which we took a morning swim. It is the best stay we ever had!
This was the most beautiful hotel of our holiday, wonderful room, very nice and spacious layout, opening onto the pool, perfect. It came with the most beautiful bathroom with huge walk-in shower, everything very stylish. very good breakfast. Can only recommend staying there Very friendly owners.
