“The location on historic grounds in Swellendam, near the Bontebok National Park, gives this owner-run bed and breakfast particular appeal. Rooms are beautifully decorated with antique furnishings, and I noted the personalized service and secure parking. The walk through the garden to reach some rooms might pose a minor challenge, but the overall experience seems worth it.”
