    Great location, just off the N2 in a quiet residential street but within walking distance to several restaurants. Comfortable room, great bed & shower. Patrick & Gray were perfect hosts, Patrick was a mine of information both locally for a great hike and future holiday options. Lovely breakfast on the patio looking out on the mountains. Perfect!

    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!
