Establishment is efficient and well run. Amenities laid out for guests. The owners were Eager to please especially once they found out we spoke some German. Nothing to complain about but if we didn't book ahead for a restaurant before arrival, we might have missed eating at the wonderful Italian restaurant.

The rooms were located around the pool area. Garden was well kept and beautiful. Pleasant helpful hosts who were on the site and accessible who shared local knowledge. Choice of inside or outside dinning areas. The wi fi in the room was very poor we had to go into the dinning room for better connection.

Location and lay-out good. Friendly, hospitable service. Comfortable rooms with everything one might need. One of our number, a single lady pensioner, had the front room facing the road and and found the traffic noise during the night upsetting.

Hotel was lovely, with a really nice pool area. I liked the fact the rooms had a more "African Theme". The town itself was a bit limited for restaurants etc but the surrounding area was very picturesque. Nothing!

Clean and easy to find. Nice breakfast! Although a lovely B&B, it was not really the best place for us with our busy little boys.

We absolutely loved Marula Lodge. The owners and the staff were really friendly and helpful. We had a beautiful chalet, set in lovely grounds. The decor was first class. We would certainly go back and would recommend to anyone. There is nothing we didn't like about Marula Lodge.

Lovely setting, all rooms are set around the pool and gardens. Short walk to the restaurants/shops. Simple room, but more than adequate. Good breakfast, plenty of choice. And most importantly great hosts The rooms were a bit chilly, although blankets and hot water bottles were provided.

Everything you can choose to mingle round the pool, sip cocktails outside your room or make music in other areas of the garden. Great Only minor fault was bath towels were a tad small.....but that is being very hard.

Nice rooms, very friendly hosts, which were always prepared to help, and did their extreme best to sattisfy everybodies needs! The b&b is at the main street of Swellendam, but as they are at the back, no noise was heard. We felt absolutely safe there. The breakfast was excellent, with a good variety of choice. I cannot find anything negative. The price was good, for the rooms we got. However, unlike with some other B&Bs I visited in the past, there was no spark here, where I said "waaw, that is a great idea!!"
