Provider-sourced guest reviews.
This place is well run, maintained, all staff are friendly, room is large. Bonus full dstv... It set in the most beautiful area overlooking the mountain. Will definitly stay here again. Breakfast to die for and made with love. Thank you for the great experience..
Beautiful scenic view set right under the mountain. Breakfast was amazing and staff were very friendly and welcoming..
Such a lovely setting overlooking forest with the afternoon sun. Very pleasant accommodation overall. Spacious and clean. Close to town. Good security for car. Highly recommended.
It was all very good indeed.
La flessibilità dello staff durante la fase di check in fuori orario è stata eccezionale.
Beautiful mountain views, excellent breakfast and very comfortable rooms
Charming receptionist. Lovely breakfast/ room
Quite a few uneven floor surfaces
Piacevolissimo il giardino pieno di fiori e uccellini, alloggio curato e rilassante.
Nulla
Mooie ruime kamer, kan wel een update gebruiken maar was verder prima.
Swellendam heeft gewoon niet zo veel te bieden. Is een beetje een countryside dorp, wellicht in de zomer leuker dan in de winter maar voor nu was het best wel saai. Is voor echte wandelaars en anders heb je er niet veel te zoeken.
Staff were pleasant and friendly the room was impeccable. The breakfast was nice.

Disponibilità dello staff, posizione, camere spaziose
Arredamento un po’ datato
Il posto era immerso nella campagna, con piccoli cottage, peccato fosse molto umida e con arredamento non proprio nuovo … diciamo vintage ma i proprietari sono stati veramente carini Colazione fantastica con il camino acceso
Molto umida gorse perché è inverno e con arredamento un po’ vintage
Good breakfast. Central location.
Too few towels
Alles ruim comfortabel ontbijt

Heel fijn verblijf in een mooie omgeving. Personeel erg vriendelijk. De volgende ochtend was zelfs onze auto gewassen. Het ontbijt was erg lekker en de bedden comfortabel. Ook heel fijn dat er elektrische dekens waren nu het kouder is in de nachten.
Niets
It is very central. Everything was clean and the view was fantastic.
Heel gezellig ingericht. Op loopafstand van het stadje. Heel leuk de auto werd gewassen.
Beautiful setting, rooms and lovely breakfast. Accommodated our late check in, and was as easy as checking in with the reception. This is our second time staying at the guesthouse, different rooms, but equally good. Will return in future.
Room was lovely, comfortable. I always enjoy the breakfasts
I don't have any complaints. I personally was unsure how to manage the remotes of the TV and DST but I could have asked.
Un alojamiento increible. El personal fue muy amable. El apartamento es inmenso y estubimos un dia muy frio, pero las camas tenian el colchon calefactable. El desayuno es muy completo y el personal del hotel nos labó el coche mientras estabamos desayunando. Todo perfecto.
Breakfast and overall facility was great. Had an issue accessing the property after hours as instructions provided were not correct.
Master bathroom of our unit got very wet every time we showered. There was no extractor fan to remove excess humidity and condensation from the bathroom.
Clean with very friendly staff. Located in a nice and quiet area.
Great vibe and views

Breakfast is always the best!
Lovely setting for this Bed and Breakfast , spacious room with a veranda and access to gardens and pool . Large comfortable double bed .
Guest house was busy for our stay and a buffet breakfast served for nearly everyone . It felt like a bit of a scrabble and sometimes food wasn’t as hot as liked . I would have preferred a table order service in a boutique guest house . That said there was a very good choice of food on offer and staff were super helpful and lovely .
Beautiful rooms with friendly staff; although we arrived earlier than planned, the rooms were ready and clean. Staff received us without hesitation and showed us around. Great service
Couldnt find anything wrong
Lovely welcome. Delicious breakfast. They even washed my car Highly recommended
The breakfast was excellent with a good variety of options. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The view from the room was beautiful and added to the overall experience. Check-in was smooth, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities met my expectations.
There was nothing to complain about.
Location was good
It was cold inside the room. We aren’t allowed to use the garden because of the dog of the neighbours and also the pool the room was overlooking pool was not accessible for us.
Mooi huis met superaardig personeel
Lovely little guest house.
Our only gripe was breakfast, the lady in charge of kitchen staff, was so tight with the bacon sausage, and eggs, it was embarrassing, she would cut one sausage into 3, the portions were miserable, and also not keen on speaking English , but any Afrikaner that arrived, she would swoon over them.🇿🇦. She was a white lady by the way.
Perfect location and beautiful property with excellent service. Check in and out was a breeze. Facilities were excellent with friendly and helpful staff.
Nothing
The views from the bedroom, the port wine is a nice touch and location were great. It's easy to walk everywhere.
Breakfast was okay but didn't like how each room is assigned a table, ie you can't choose where to sit in an empty breakfast room.
We liked everything about this well run establishment.It had everything one could want without being fussy or excessive. Friendly and helpful staff, delicious breakfast and even a seat by a lit fire for breakfast on a cold morning.
The pool, breakfast, and location
The staff at the reception was not friendly The room smelled very old, dusty
Very good breakfast with wide selection of foods. Big room with mini kitchen and lovely outlook over the garden, river and forest. On the edge of town but very rural and with a real country feel.
Nothing to comment.
Sehr aufmerksames Personal und geschmackvoll eingerichtete Unterkunft. Uns hat es an nichts gefehlt.

Fijne, complete en ruime kamer! Fijn verblijf gehad. Lekker gegeten bij Field & Fork.
Tip: Er kan wat geluid van de naastliggende weg liggen. Met oordoppen heb je daar geen last van :) Kortom: geen op- of aanmerkingen. Fijn verblijf gehad!
Top Frühstück und tolles Apartment.
Boa . Um rapaz começa o dia lavando todos os carros Estacionados Café da manhã normal, nada excepcional
Удобное расположение, красивые номера, достаточно вкусные завтраки, приветливый персонал. Рекомендую.
Courte nuit mais bonne communication avec l'hôte. Malheureusement nous n'avons pas pu tester le pdj car nous partions tôt le lendemain. Chambre confortable, accès facile. Ville agréable et sûre.
The mountain view from the room and the roof terrace were very nice. They washed our car while we had breakfast.
This place felt like it has been sold or is up for sale. Every staff member was in a hurry and there were plenty of maintenance issues. While I was standing at the breakfast buffet someone from the staff came to ask whether we needed new towels in our room. Not sure why that could not wait until after breakfast. We had a room with a living room and kitchen downstairs and rooms upstairs. Downstairs was not cosy at all. The light was terrible. In one of the two bathrooms the shower door was gone and had not been replaced. The breakfast veranda is old and not cosy. It looks like there's no money left for maintenance jobs.
We had an incredible stay at Aan de Oever Guesthouse. The cottage is beautiful, the view spectacular and the service great. Nice neighborhood with great restaurants around. The pool looking at the mountains is an incredible view. Would always come back!
Very nice view, quiet location, big rooms.
Breakfast was rather simple
-goeie ligging -grote kamer/huis -prima ontbijtje -sfeervol
Gezellige sfeer. Lekker ontbijt. Tuin
Onze kamer was naast de keuken....erg lawaaierige dampkap ´s morgens ( bij bereiding ontbijt)
Such a special place, the staff were so lovely and friendly and helpful.
everything was lovely
excellent hidden gem
facilities and cleanliness staff surrounding
Large room and good parking space. Nice terraces. Good breakfast and nice personnel (my car was washed).
No negative comments
Beautiful complex with a pool and garden. Parking on site, good breakfast. Our apartment was large, even with its own terrace.
The lighting could be cozier, and small side lamps would be nice in the evenings.
The room we were given was very spacious and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The bed was very comfortable and the room was equipped with a shower and bath. The tea and coffee station worked well and the honesty bar was well stocked with local wines, some cooldrinks and snacks. Breakfast was more than adequate and the staff were helpful and friendly. There were more than enough restaurant options in close proximity to choose from for dinner. All in all a very pleasant experience and we would return.
Nothing to complain about and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Heel vriendelijk personeel en uitgebreid, heerlijk ontbijt! Enkele leuke restaurantjes in de buurt op wandelafstand en mooi zwembad met uitzicht op de bergen.
Beetje verouderde accomodatie en sanitair
Really comfortable accommodation, really pleasantly surprised to find my car had been washed overnight

Zentrale Lage, großes Apartment umgeben von einem sehr gepflegten Grundstück im kolonialen Stil. Hervorragendes Frühstück und sehr engagiertes und freundliches Personal rundeten den Aufenthalt ab.

Breakfast was amazing. Stream and mountain in the backdrop was breathtaking.
Conveniently situated, nice varied breakfast, comfortable rooms - pool area lovely and staff were pleasant.
Not much not to like. Was comfortable and convenient.
Das in einem Villenviertel liegende Gästehaus wird sehr professionell und mit Herz geführt. Der Blick auf die Berge ist unbeschreiblich schön. Ein sehr schöner Pool - insgesamt auch wunderbar für Familien mit Kindern geeignet. Das Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen und ist sehr vielfältig. Die Anlage sehr sicher und ein schattiger Parkplatz inbegriffen.
Netter Empfang. Tolles Ambiente. Super Zimmer. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Gute Lage.
Da gab es keine Kritikpunkte.
Friendly staff! Excellent stay with attention to detail. Car was freshly washed for me in the morning!
Nice guest house, all clean and good service, great place to stay in the area
Goed georganiseerd hotel op leuke locatie. Onze kamer had een eigen terrasje, heel leuk. Grote badkamer ook en prima bedden. En ook nog een uitstekend ontbijt.
Everything, so nice that we stayed an extra night.
Can't think of anything.
This place is really really great! I stayed for a week and could have easily stayed longer. The staff is really friendly and nice. The rooms are good, clean and has everything. Good restaurants and nice coffee places are at walking distance. I really loved my time and would definitely come back!
Garden, rooms, location
Weak security - homeless person came to our open door to beg while we were resting. Suggest intercom operated gates. He said he walked through the gate that was open.
Sehr schöne Lage mit sehr gutem Frühstück. Sehr nettes und hilfsbereites Personal und es wurde sogar unser Auto gewaschen.
Das Zimmer hat bei Ankunft etwas muffig gerochen und die Bettwäsche hatte an einigen Stellen Flecken.
Lovely historic house and nice setting
Bathroom could do with an update
De ontvangst was heel vriendelijk. Wij kregen een goede tip om te gaan wandelen in marloth nature reserve. Ook de aanbeveling voor goede restaurants. De kamer was heerlijk koel en rustig, in de oude sfeer. Mooi zwembad en een uitstekend ontbijt.
Het bed was wat klein voor ons. We hadden beter voor 2 losse bedden kunnen kiezen.
Good breakfast Location close to restaurants
Rooms on street are old, need update 2 Rooms on street smells awful. No freshness smell there Decor old
Sehr schöne Unterkunft mit toller Gartenanlage inkl. Pool. Es sind fußläufig verschiedene Restaurants zu erreichen. Das Frühstück war hervorragend und das Personal sehr freundlich.
De grootte van de kamer en het ruime dakterras, de locatie van de accommodatie
De badkamers, schimmel in beide douches. Handgrepen keuken voelden smoezelig aan. De matrassen waren behoorlijk hard.
De ligging, de grootte en ligging van de kamer en de originele inrichting. En de vriendelijkheid van het personeel in het restaurant. ( Gaynor is een topper!)
Ik houd van een stevig matras maar dit was wel heel hard.
Our room at Aan de Oever was extremely comfortable and its location near the historic part in Swellendam was perfect. It was a very hot day, so at least we did not need to walk far in the heat! I would definitely recommend the guesthouse. Breakfast in the morning offered a great selection which we enjoyed before we set off for day 2 of our roadtrip to St.Francis Bay
Wunderschönes Zimmer in wundervoller Umgebung. Super nette Gastgeber und freundliches Personal. Danke für das Abschiedsprsent
