Luke, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Die gesamte Unterkunft ist etwas in die Tage gekommen. Wir haben keine großen Ansprüche und so war das in punkto Sauberkeit halbwegs in Ordnung, aber doch schon an der Grenze. Der Pool ist mit Salzwasser gefühlt, zu unserem Erstaunen vielleicht sogar noch etwas salziger als das Meer. Für eine, maximal zwei Nächte ist der Platz in Ordnung.

Lovely charming place for a couple or small family
Lovely people and charming place. Could help self to vegetables in the garden or even the eggs from the chickens for breakfast which was a hit with the kids. Only drawback was that it was a bit of a squash, we should have booked a third room. The rooms are called “two bedroom” but they are actually one bedroom suites with a single sofa bed in the living room so not really suitable for three adults. This is in the small print of the room description so our fault for not reading closely but I think the room title is misleading. Great for a couple or a family with one child.

Assez cher pour ce que c'est
Assez bien dans l'ensemble mais assez cher par rapport à d'autres hébergements que nous avons eu en Afrique du sud. Point positif : bel environnement. Point négatif : ménage. Petite terrasse agréable mais pas propre idem pour les transats à la piscine. Franchement à ce prix on peut trouver mieux

Accueil très succinct. Très belle chambre décorée avec goût et belle vue sur la campagne. Eloigné du centre mais d'une grande tranquillité. La chambre dispose d'une belle terrasse individuelle avec un barbecue pour un repas en toute intimité (pas de possibilité de repas à proximité). Le jardin est magnifique avec une piscine, un coin repos et une végétation soignée.

Romantische Cottage auf dem Land
Die wunderschöne Anlage liegt etwas außerhalb von Swellendam (aber trotzdem gut erreichbar) mitten in der grünen Natur. Alles ist bis ins Detail romantisch eingerichtet. Die Gartenanlage und der atemberaubende Ausblick hat uns fühlen lassen wie im Paradies. Es wird kostenlos Holz für den Grill (auf der Terasse) und den offenen Kamin (im Wohnbereich) zur Verfügung gestellt. Eine absolut traumhafte Unterkunft.

Good Place
We stayed for 1 night en route from East to West. The standard self catering room was good, comfortable and clean. The views from the patio were really good. If staying for more I would definitely go for one of the bigger suites. We self catered and managed but better cooking facilities are available in the bigger rooms. Good value, nice place.

Bezauberndes Landanwesen
Wir kamen wegen des Verkehrs erst um 20:30Uhr an. Zum Glück wohnen die Inhaber mit in dem Landhaus und haben uns sogar noch mit dem Gepäck geholfen. Wir hatten das Gartenhaus mit Blick auf die Berge und Kühe. Alles ist weiß im Shabby Chic gehalten und sehr hübsch. Das Bett war ca. 140m breit und gemütlich. Im Kühlschrank wartete sogar Wasser und Milch auf uns. Leider war es zum Baden zu kalt aber der kleine Pool war sehr schön in den gepflegten Garten eingebettet.

Disappointing
Stayed for two nights but should have made it one. My wife didn't want to stay on first impressions as the place needed a thorough clean. Lots of cobwebs and dirty surfaces. The outside space superior to the inside. Lovely views from the terrace but close to cow fields hence inundated with flies which plagued us. Our introduction was rushed and below the standard of others we have experienced this trip. This place was not for us.

Netter Empfang, tolle Aussicht. Zimmer war leider unsauber, extrem viele Spinnweben und tote Insekten - auch auf Nachttisch usw. Ländlich gelegen mit Blick auf die Weide. Viel Natur zu beobachten. Nachts lautes Zirpen der Grillen. Grill war perfekt hergerichtet, unbedingt Feuerzeug mitbringen!

Rustiek, rustig, romantisch.
Leuke rustieke cottages, met eenvoudige maar complete voorzieningen. Letterlijk tussen de dieren in de wei. We hebben genoten van deze plek, en het mooie uitzicht op de bergen.
