Luxury cabin in the Swellendam valley, W.C.

I liked everything about the apartment.

The microwave is not working and they need to change the base of the bed it’s kinda uncomfortable.

What a absolute great experience. Cabin was clean and very cozy.

Absolutely loved the scenery. The mountain ranges and forestry around the cabin were like something out of a movie. The cabin was very cosy. All utilities and equipment were available and working. Absolutely loved it.

The tranquility and peacefulness of the cabin's location and being one with nature. The indoor fire place was perfect. The communication prior to and throughout our stay was great too.

We struggled heating up the hot tub on the first night having a cover to close off the water while heating up could help especially with the colder nights.

We loved our stay! We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The outdoor braai and wood heated jacuzzi were highlights. And the property is well sized to be super comfortable inside or outside.

It’s close to a main road with an occasional truck passing by. But we didn’t notice the sounds when sleeping inside. And outside there’s a water feature that helps to mellow it out. It felt extremely tranquil.

If you looking for Nature and Calmness, this is the spot to be .. The unit is well equipped and has everything you need..

This a true hidden gem, everything was perfect!

It was so peaceful. We enjoyed the nature and quietness. The place looked lovely and was really clean and neat.

The place is magical in the middle of nature with all the facilities

The only thing is that check out was at 10 am so we had to rush out as we arrived late the night before

It was not far off the road and very chilled. The place was clean and neat and peaceful.

The trucks could be heard but it didn't bother me at all.

Very quiet and peaceful, everything you need is available.

Positive criticism: The shower needs attention, it changes from hot to cold in seconds and then hot again in a second.

Wir haben die Unterkunft leider noch gefunden.

Great location. Beautiful and quiet! Exactly what we wanted.

One of the sun loungers were broken and the cushions very thin which made them rather uncomfortable. The outside chairs were also quite uncomfortable and one of the inside chairs was also broken.

The modern accommodation, the privacy, help from the host and the surroundings.

Safety was a concern when we arrived, the open gate at the entrance. The hot tub was very difficult to sort out, about R500 of firewood was used, and then also when you get out of tub you are full of rust! Compare to other hot tubs we used this one was really a disappointment. The front door also gave problems, and we could not lock it.

The location.

The window in the kitchen that cannot lock.

Stunning and cosy.

The cabin was exceptional, clean, comfortable everything we needed and wanted. Host extremely friendly and helpful. Will definitely be staying there again and recommending it to all my friends and family. Perfect getaway

Location was sensational, very private but felt like we in paradise. We were in the middle of nature, just what we wanted.

There was nothing we did not like, just a suggestion, maybe put a lantern at the braai for when it gets dark, so that we can see the meat once it is cooking on the grill. everything else was awesome.

There was not much to like, unfortunately. Compared to many other "Eco Pods" that we have stayed in, in both the Overberg and Cederberg areas, this experience fell short in so many ways and was regretful, in many respects.

The unit was extremely uncomfortable. Very hot, small, a cramped environment for 2 average sized adults. If you want to get out of the city, away from traffic noise, and into nature, for a quiet getaway, this is not it the place! This unit is close to noisy "highway" traffic, an extremely busy trucking route and consistent road noise. In addition, very little is done to avoid the extreme heat in the unit, both day and night. As far as facilities are concerned, there is almost nowhere to hang clothing, wet towels etc. Very small shower and bathroom facilities.

Compact, neat, clean and comfortable! We enjoyed it so much that we forgot to take pictures 🤣😂 so the pictures you see is after we locked up to leave...

We could hear the trucks passing by on the main road, but it did not take away from our great experience!

In the middle of ‘nowhere’

Everything was perfect

Ww had all we needed for the weekend,was amazing!

Great location,well set up with all we needed,including wood and swimming towels.

The hot tub was amazing and cabin is very cozy

The shower was either extremely hot or cold. Also a bit too close to the road. Could hear the trucks through the night.

The cabin is beautifully designed and very well maintained. Everything was spotless and fully equipped, both in the kitchen and the living area, so you feel at home right away. Communication beforehand was friendly, quick and reliable, and there was always someone available on site in case any questions came up. You have plenty of privacy and the surrounding nature is stunning with a small pond where you can watch animals. At night you get an impressive sky full of stars that feels almost unreal. Overall it is a very charming and thoughtfully managed place.

The main issue for me was the lack of an air conditioner. There is only a small cooler that works with ice cubes and it gets very hot in the cabin, especially during the day. Even in November it was not enough to keep the room at a comfortable temperature. In my opinion it would really make sense to consider installing an air conditioner. I also have to agree with previous guests. It is not as quiet as one might expect because the farm is located close to a very busy road and the traffic can be noticeable. The hot tub also needs quite a long time to heat the water, so you need to plan ahead if you want to use it.

Die Unterkunft ist wirklich sehr schön gepflegt, gemütlich und genauso wie beschrieben. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohlgefühlt. Für uns persönlich war die Lage allerdings nicht ganz ideal, da man für alles mit dem Auto fahren muss. Wir lieben es eigentlich, abends noch ein wenig spazieren zu gehen oder durch den Ort zu schlendern, und das war hier leider nicht so gut möglich. Das hätte ich mir vorher genauer anschauen sollen. Ansonsten war aber alles top und wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen Aufenthalt.

die vielen vorbeifahrenden LKWs in der Nacht waren recht laut, was die Vermieterin natürlich nicht beeinflussen kann. Schön wäre außerdem ein Toaster in der Küche. Ansonsten war alles in Ordnung und wir hatten einen angenehmen Aufenthalt.

Everything about the place. The views. The hot tub and the friendliness of the host. She helped us jump start our car and was really kind about everything.

Finding the blue gate from the road was a little tricky, especially at night.

Stunning location

Couldn’t get the shower to work on the night we stayed. Was either scalding hot or freezing cold. Rochelle gave us some tips but nothing worked. In the morning she stopped by and had to adjust the water from the boiler. It helped slightly but still was very hot and cold and not really usable

It exceeded all our expectations. The attention to detail and the modern finishes made our stay that much more special!! The hike to the waterfall was good fun and we were spoilt with some incredible mountain views 😍

Its location and that it had a hot tub

The traffic of trucks is constant. The Black wattle has taken over a bit.

The cabin is an absolute gem! Modern, clean, and fresh, very private. The perfect place to make beautiful memories. Stunning scenery of the mountain, friendly host, this accommodation deserves a 10/10! We will be back.

We loved everything about the cabin.

Location of the Pod is perfect. Secluded and the views was breathtaking. The host was friendly and helpful. I would recommend this accommodation anytime

Rochelle's attention to detail made check in seamless. The unit was fitted with EVERYTHING we needed. Modern furniture and decor. We loved the hot tub and the fireplace in the unit helped allot in the cold weather. We'll definitely visit again.

The layout, the decor, the veiws, everything you need is there.

The hot tub was not working well and we were not told about this until we were about to arrive to check in. It has however since been fixed. So I would still definitely highly recommend this cottage

The location of the place is perfect. The place was very clean and had everything we needed. WiFi worked well.

The shower temperature, struggle to set the temp, water was either too hot or too cold. The hot tub water temperature. I burnt 3 bags of wood in the hot tub but the water didn't want to get warm.

Amazing views and comfortable stay. We booked very last minute but they welcomed us like we had booked in advance. Thank and we will be back

Bed

Not Hot tub is crap. 7 hours of wood burning and not warming up properly

Traffic noise, no security measures in place, no heating other than the fireplace that causes smoke buildup in the building and dries out the air too much due to the small size of the building. No heat retention in the building causing very low temperatures at night. Hot tub does not heat up in 6 hours of burning a lot of wood in winter. No space for any luggage inside the building. Not meant for longer than one night stay.

Great

N/a

We loved the compact, modern accommodation which had everything we needed. The cabin was warm and cosy and the indoor fireplace was extremely effective. The linen was excellent and everything was of the best quality.

There was a bit of road noise but it hasn’t put us off returning again.

Loved the cabin.

Hot tub takes too much and wood to warm the water. Unfortunately the R60 road is very noisy.

Very clean and neat cabin with a private hot tub was the perfect 2 day break from a busy schedule. Great 90 minute hike on the property means that we had no reason to leave the cabin for the duration of the stay

Road noise from the passing vehicles was a minor irritant but the mountain views more than compensated.

I loved how private the spot was, everything was comfortable and modern.

The shower temperature didn’t work so well, it was either extremely hot or ice cold. A suggestion to perhaps get the hot tub started for the guests before arrival so that when they arrive the tub is ready for them!

The peace and the privacy, it was equipped with everything you need - even toothpicks

The compact privacy. Well appointed.

The sounds of the traffic coming down the hill.

The setting was absolutely amazing, tranquillity at its best. I was looking for a quiet place to get away with my wife and Lokai ticked every box. It is well equipped with all the necessities needed. There is a stunning hike up to a waterfall as well.

The place ticked all the boxes and exceeded our expectations.

Beautiful surroundings, everything you need and more, perfect gettaway

A bit of traffic noise but the speaker was a good touch - easy to drown out with music

The idea of a cabin.

The continuous noice of trucks on the R60, very close to the cabin. The view of the mountains, dam and vineyards from the deck and cabin was limited due to the surrounding tall wattle trees.

Friendly host, cabin situated at a hill top, very nice place.

The deck and tub. The decor and layout in cabin. The nature and privacy.

Struggled with the shower...extremely hot or cold. Bed sloped into the middle a bit. Cabin was extremely hot but luckily a cool wind came up in the evening. We tried to walk to the waterfall but there was no clear path after a short while so we had to turn back. We didn't have much of an outlook as we were so surrounded by bush. It was a bit close to the road...would have liked to be further in.

Amazing place! Super clean. Very enjoyable. Would definitely recommend this place.

The path to the waterfall could have been better sign posted. But what an awesome walk and so beautiful!

Everything, it was perfect 👌 would highly recommend

nothing

Tranquil, and a perfect getaway to rejuvenate and get in touch with nature. Amidst the mountains and waking up to birds chirping. Highly recommend

Location

Small Bathroom

It is a beautiful cabin in a lovely quiet setting. Very modern inside with all the luxuries you need. The hot tub and deck were a real treat!!

Modern secluded cabin perfect for a relaxing getaway. Wood fired hot tub was great in the evenings. View of dam and some vineyards.

Shower was a bit of a struggle, couldn’t quite get the hang of it as it was either extremely hot or cold.

The cabin was comfortable, clean and neat. If you looking for a private romantic getaway in the bushes with complete privacy, this is ideal. We especially enjoyed the deck with the tub and braai facility. Evening times were exceptionally beautiful under the stars. The bed was comfortable and the linen was lovely and clean. Kitchen is well stocked with just enough. The host was helpful when we ran out of wood and she was quick to respond.

Unfortunately there's no air con, no microwave and no built in cupboard to pack away clothing. We were a little concerned about lack of security as the cabin is very close to the main road and you also hear the trucks on the road from the cabin.

The cabin is situated close to the mountain, absolutely gorgeous! It has everything you need, is quiet with beautiful views. Perfect little breakaway!

It is a beautiful little place, which would be great in winter with the hot tub. We enjoyed the hot tub at night when it was cool

I understand the eco part, but with our summers and weather you definitely need air Conditioning. Although they have fans, it is a sonar in there.

Brilliantly appointed, secluded and peaceful.

Nothing. Exceeded expectations

Loved every moment of our stay at this magnificent spot. Beautiful and the perfect setting for a romantic getaway. Facilities was great - all we needed was catered for! Stunning! ❤️

Beautiful executed tiny blockhouse with everything you need to make your stay welcome and comfortable. Cozy and clean. Small fridge and a 2 plate gas stove. Hot tube and outside braai. Very comfortable and luxurious bed, linen and towels. Excellent host that followed up the entire time to give location pin drop and information on cabin. Strong wifi.

The biggest downfall for us is that this cabin it situated right next to the very busy R60 between Aston and Swellendam. At night, the sound of the trucks is even louder, and vehicle lights can be seen. The purpose of staying in a cabin in the woods is defeated. Another downfall is that there is no hideaway from the sun or rain. This blockhouse has no verandah cover or any cover over the braai.
