It is within walking distance of coffee shops, souvenir shops, and the mountains of Marloth Nature Reserve. Bontebok National Park is 4 km away. Berry Farm and Lavender Farm are 1.5 km away.

Hotel Services

This owner-run B & B pays attention to detail in all aspects from room decor, comfort, meals and amenities.

“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.”
