Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und zuvorkommen! Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist hervorragend, es gibt sogar einen Billiradtisch!
Man kann sehr viel aus dem Anwesen machen, leider hat es uns zu sehr nach Hund gerochen. Generell ist die Sauberkeit verbesserungsbedürftig.
Absolut herzliche und freundliche Gastgeberin! Super lieb und unkompliziert. Da es nicht so warm war gab es Heizdecken. Das Haus ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat einen sehr schönen Garten!

Прекрасный дом! Очень красивый и интересный. Замечательный сад. Ну и конечно прекрасные хозяева! Нас радушно приняли. Номер был замечательный, с подогревом одеял, с видом на сад
Нет претензий
Bellissima residenza d'epoca in una zona tranquilla in mezzo al verde. Servizi e ospitalità eccezionali. La signora Reitnet splendida padrona di casa che ci ha deliziato con una colazione arricchita di marmellata fatta in casa. Consigliatissimo. Nelle vicinanze ottimo ristorante De Vagabund

Quiet surrounds and very peaceful, homely and friendly hosts
Everything. Friendly hosts, location and the breakfadt
It was rustic & homey. Reinet was quite warm & welcoming & knew the history of the area which made our stay more meaningful. The breakfast with homemade jams, local eggs & smoked trout was absolutely delicious.
The door & floor creaked when I got up in the night which disturbed my wife.
Ottima l’accoglienza, struttura pulita e con una colazione eccellente.

The place was good, host friendly and accommodating. The rooms are big and the garden something amazing to see. breakfast was exceptional and far too much. Will definitely recommend the place to other people.
The owner is friendly and puts one at ease.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently stayed at Aquaelberg Place with my two teenage daughters while attending a nearby tug of war competition, and it exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, our host made us feel incredibly welcome. She was warm, caring, and genuinely friendly, making us feel as though we'd known each other for years. We stayed in the Deluxe Family Room, which was spacious and beautifully decorated. The interiors have a timeless elegance with a subtle Parisian boutique hotel feel, blended with vintage charm and thoughtful details. I especially loved the exposed copper pipework incorporated into the basins, showers, and other features throughout the house, adding a unique rustic touch and so much character. The gardens are a peaceful oasis, with winding brick pathways, mature trees, tranquil water features, and charming seating areas that feel like a hidden French country garden. Upstairs, there's also a pool table, which my daughters thoroughly enjoyed in the evenings. Breakfast was an absolute spoil each morning. We chose the smoked trout with scrambled eggs and were instantly hooked! We were also treated to fluffy flapjacks with homemade jam, fresh fruit, excellent coffee, and freshly squeezed juice. Everything was delicious and beautifully prepared. A special mention must go to the resident dogs. They are friendly, affectionate, and clearly very well cared for. They added such a warm, homely touch to our stay. Aquaelberg Place perfectly combines exceptional hospitality, beautiful design, and a peaceful atmosphere. We left feeling relaxed and already looking forward to our next visit. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly memorable stay.
Nothing really comes to mind. If I had to mention one thing, it would be that the sports channel wasn't available for the Springbok rugby game. It wasn't a deal breaker, though, we enjoyed watching it at a nearby local restaurant instead.Everthing this is so close by.
Brad and Reinet were so friendly and welcoming, the dogs too. We had the room with the balcony, overlooking the lush garden. It had a little kitchen area, but we went out for dinner. The restaurants are really close by. We loved the bed, it was so comfy! Another highlight was the delicious breakfast . Thanks for a lovely stay.
Great breakfast . Comfortable bed.
Too much clutter and stuff. Very outdated as you can see from the photos on website. In winter it can feel dank and cold with no opportunity to enjoy the balcony. Draughty in winter.
A peaceful place to stay. Friendly hostess. Breakfast exceptional. Kitchen facilities in lobby area very usefull.
If you do not like old world charm - this is not the place for you.
No complaints. My personal preference would have been to have a pork sausage.
I was so excited to see a pool table. But the pool cues had no tips save for one which was too small and there was no cuew tip chalk.
Superaardige gastheer en vrouw. Fijne locatie Heerlijk ook om electrische dekens te hebben. En een lekker ontbijt. Fijn dat ze een voldoende hoeveelheid op tafel zetten, zodat er weinig over blijft
Het douchewater bleef vrij koud
Very neat and spacious place. The breakfast was absolutely delicious. The hosts are wonderful — incredibly caring and warm-hearted. Since I didn’t have a car, she even gave me a lift to a nearby farm. They truly go the extra mile for their guests. I’d be happy to return and can highly recommend it to anyone.
Great location 😄

Friendly hosts Beautiful dogs Amazing garden And the best pancakes
Very lovely people, very cozy, clean and had a lovely stay
The breakfast was amazing and my daughters gluten free diet was very well catered for, she loved the crumpets. Rooms are large, lovely balcony areas to enjoy and listen to the birds. Heaters and electric blankets provided for the colder nights. The hosts were amazing, thank you!
Exceptional and warm host welcome, accommodation was clean and beautiful. I would recommend this accommodation to friends and family and would return to the accommodation should I need accommodation in the future
Ik sluit me aan bij vorige beoordelingen. Prijs kwaliteit uitstekend, en hartelijke ontvangst. Inrichting wel wat verouderd, maar dat stoorde ons helemaal niet. Heerlijk terras aan onze kamer.
Host was amazing, breakfast was good,loved the ambiance of the place 😋
L'accueil, la gentillesse de notre hôte et la truite au petit déjeuner un régal !!!
Sehr liebevoll geführtes und hergerichtetes B&B. Die Besitzerin ist super nett und zuvorkommend.

Uitstekende en veilige locatie in een rustige villawijk in Swellendam. De gastvrouw was buitengewoon vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De accommodatie is lichtelijk gedateerd en ademt een rustieke sfeer. Het heeft een grote tuin met zwembad. Het ontbijt is zeer gevarieerd en met veel liefde bereid.

Lovely peaceful location, close to the cute delights of Swellendam centre (within walking distance) and also the trails for walking, cycling, or running.

Nice and clean Wonderfully established garden
A anfitriã é muito simpática, nos recebeu maravilhosamente bem. O café da manhã é todo caprichado.
Het is een gezellige en erg leuke oude woning die door de bewoners heel mooi opgeknapt is en goed onderhouden. Het is een plek met duizend verhalen doordat het huis al vele generaties in bezit is van de eigenaars. Dus heel erg leuk en zeer zeker een goed en lekker ontbijt klaargemaakt door de eigenaars.
Wonderful garden as well! Friendly host, lovely smell in the room!

Sehr nette Gastgeber / tolles Grundstück mit Pool zum erfrischen / leckeres Frühstück. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Herzlicher Empfang und ein super Frühstück! :) Hier kann man wirklich super abschalten da man mitten in der Natur ist. Der Garten und die Terasse von unserem Zimmer haben zum Entspannen eingeladen. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.
Die Zimmer sind ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen, hatten aber trotzdem Charme :) Das Bett hätte etwas bequemer sein können.
Upon our arrival, Reinet gave us a very warm welcome and showed us around, so we immediately felt at home. We had only booked one night, but we – and especially our son – would have loved to stay longer. He had a wonderful time playing in the beautiful garden and still talks about the treehouse and the toy vehicles. It was a truly lovely stay, and we highly recommend this place to families.
The property was lovely particularly the wonderful garden. Woke up to the birds singing. Pool very welcome in the intense heat. Hosts were lovely and breakfast superb. Homemade pancakes and jams and delicious smoked trout.
Very hot, air conditioning would have been a bonus.
Schöner Garten, Frühstück und Freundlichkeit
Sehr gemütliche Unterkunft, mit schönen ,,alten“ Einrichtungsdetail, super Frühstück, super nette Gastgeber

Sehr sehr nette Gastgeber. Tolles, sauberes, großes Zimmer. Sehr ruhig, gutes Frühstück Top Preis Leistungsverhältnis
Reinet and Brandon were lovely hosts. We had time to discover the history of the house and how they had extended it over time. The lounge is huge and full of character. For dinner, we used their barbecue and Reinet cooked us a lovely breakfast. We visited in peak mosquito season, so the sprays provided were much appreciated.
Nothing, apart from the rain!
Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, die sich auch mal Zeit nehmen um Tipps zu geben. Tolles Frühstück, saubere Zimmer, schöner Pool, perfektes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis. Parkplatz auf dem eingezäunten Gelände.
Very nice interior, clean facilities, great garden area with pool and the owners were honestly hospitable! You don’t want to miss that breakfast!!

Unterkunft etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
De ontvangst van Reinet en Brad waren formidabel. Het enthousiasme en de vriendelijkheid waarmee we daar dagelijks geconfronteerd werden was top. Een heerlijk ontbijt en de goede service. Een aanrader voor iedereen!
Niets viel tegen.
Das Zimmer war geräumig und das Bett sehr bequem. Das Bad war groß und alles hat funktioniert! Die Unterkunft liegt am Rand von Swellendam und damit sehr sicher und ruhig. Mehrere Restaurants sind fußläufig erreichbar. Das Frühstück ist großartig und die Gastgeber außerordentlich freundlich!
Wonderful host, excellent breakfast, great location set in amongst trees and nature.
Clean room and friendly people.
Nice family run guest house on the edge of town. Easy to walk in to the restaurants and cafes - a very safe environment. Great owner who is clearly very keen to ensure guests have a good stay.

L’accueil chaleureux. Les bons conseils. Les lits étaient bons. L’emplacement est calme et paisible.
Sehr engagierte und fröhliche Gastgeberin. Liebevoll hergerichtetes Frühstück. Toller Bergblick vom Balkon aus. Restaurants fußläufig erreichbar, auch in der Dunkelheit, da sehr sichere Gegend.
Unser Zimmer hatte nicht den gebuchten Blick in den schön angelegten Garten, sondern lag zum Parkplatz. Aber die Supergastgeberin und das zauberhafte Ambiente haben das schnell vergessen lassen.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Aquaelberg. The hospitality was outstanding from start to finish – warm, welcoming, and genuinely thoughtful. The location is excellent, offering both convenience and a peaceful atmosphere. The amenities were fantastic and well maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The beautiful garden was a real highlight – tranquil, lush, and the perfect place to unwind. Breakfast was a standout experience, with many home-made items and thoughtfully sourced locally, adding a special, authentic touch that made each morning feel extra memorable. Overall, it was a truly great experience. Aquaelberg is ideal for both couples looking for a romantic escape and families wanting a comfortable, welcoming place to stay. We would happily return and highly recommend it to others.

Very friendly host and there was an excrement breakfast. Room was large.
The room was a bit dark
- gut gelegen - nettes Personal - persönlicher Empfang - super Frühstück
Location good, breakfast good.
Their dog, which was not vaccinated, bit me right after check-in while I was taking my stuff out of the car. It left me really concerned about safety and scratches.
Nette Vermieter, sehr gutes Frühstück, immer gerne wieder
Gibt nix zu meckern 😉
The fresh milk in the fridge, the peaceful garden setting with the chatter of birds topped with a unique trout and pancake breakfast made the charm of a comfy wooden house surpass other establishments.
One can see the house is old but it does give it it's charm, the wooden floors does make neighbors noises audible but all occupants went to bed early so it was not an issue.
