Just about everything!!
Location was amazing with great pool and alongside a river overlooking the mountains. Secure parking and neighbourhood.
Purpose built rooms with loads of space. Quiet, secure with a friendly host - probaby the best guest house we've stayed in South Africa or elsewhere.

We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle.
We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle. From the view and facilities to the helpfulness of the farm mangeress, Tanya, everything was lovely. Tanya went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and gave us all a very warm welcome (including the fur kids!). There are beautiful waterfalls and rockpools that you can hike to and there is also a river and a dam with kayaks.
There is a huge indoor fireplace for the winter getaways and a huge undercover outdoor braai with dinner table and chairs. We brought board games, cards and puzzles and had endless laughs around the table.
If I absolutely had to moan about something, it would be the pressure of the shower. It is very low and soft - but! ....honestly we were swimming so much it really wasn't a big thing. I just can't think of anything else that was a negative :-)
The wood fire hot tub outside is a super bonus!
We will definitely be back!

What a surprise awaited us.
What a surprise awaited us. This town has a very warm and relaxed atmosphere and we didn't plan long enough to stay and explore all that it has to offer. A one night stop over was not enough. Colonial and Dutch influences in the architecture and a lovely selection of shops and restaurants and places of historical interest, which we simply didn't have time to see, but will be back to explore.

The TV did not work.
The TV did not work. When we checked it was broken and it looked like the lady hosting us knew about it but did not care to mention that. When we call about this TV not working at night she said I quote "Just press all the buttons until something happens sir" we were shocked! In the morning her apology for this also did not sound sincere as you could tell she was well aware that it does not work. Went to the bathroom at night and when switching on the light the electricity blew and the whole place did not have lights for the rest of the night. When we mentioned this in the morning it was a known issue and they blamed load shedding for it.
My partner was looking forward to swimming the pool was GREEN! and quite clearly not been maintained for years. It is nothing like what you see on the listing, you would be scared to even stick a finger in it. It's the type of dirt that you can't see at the bottom of it. We asked for the bicycles they said we could use on the listing and there were only two bicycles, the one had a flat tire so we couldn't use it. The other one that we had to share was not maintained well and also had a chain locking the whole time. We were just shocked that there are only two bicycles available for guests.
The Restaurant on the other hand was a pleasant experience. The gentleman hosting is very friendly and authentic it's amazing. The food is value for money as well. Had one of the most amazing meals the free breakfast is also good value and a proper meal. Wifi good and the music is lovely and the place all together has nice indoor and outdoor calming seating. We could come back for the dining experience it was exceptional. My partner and I spent the week talking about how calm and authentic the gentlemen hosting us were. He was just an exceptional experience I can't stress enough.
In summary, we would come back to dine definitely!. But to sleep No, don't see how they justify the cost for it as well.

Swellendam is a beautiful little town with a deep history and friendly people. It feels safe to walk around and is inviting to explore. We especially enjoyed the sights, sounds and aromas of the morning market on Saturday.

In the past I always just passed Swellendam on my way to another destination. This time I spent three days and what a beautiful historical town it is, surrounded by the Langeberg mountains. Friendly people and excellent food especially De Vagebond restaurant where we also had the opportunity to watch the rugby during loadshedding and experienced the lovely Ostrich meat dishes!
Cypress Cottage Guest House is such a lovely guest house. The hosts were wonderful, they welcomed me and made sure that I was comfortable in every aspect of my stay with them. My room was very neat, with beautiful deco. Breakfast was also very nice. The hosts gave me information about different places of attraction within the town of Swellendam and the surrounding areas. I would also like to thank them for the information they provided me with, relating to art and painting. I will visit the guest house again.
A beautiful farm stay in the winelands, close to Swellendam, Montagu and Robertson! We received such a warm welcome from the staff and had a stunning dinner at their restaurant, Just Amy. The breakfast the next morning was out of this world! Ask to do a wine tasting as well of the single vineyard wines this farm produces and don't leave without trying the farm's pomegranate juice. The rooms are really well equipped and comfortable with everything you need!
Etienne was so interesting and knowledgeable about the local area and South Africa in general. The guest house was beautiful and the room we had was comfortable and very well equipped. There was WiFi ,hot water and lights during load shedding. The breakfast was tasty and generous. There was pool but too cold for us in August. A great stay, we would stay again. Location was good for the village and the national park.
What a gem! The host, Hector is an excellent host seeing to our every need. The special touch like the homemade biscuits and hot chocolate, showed the great care that was taken to make guests feel at home. A book with all the information of the town and area, made good reading. Beautiful garden with the bird feeder was so special. The bed was super comfortable. We can highly recommend this establishment.
My wife and I really appreciated the fact that all the plugs were baby proofed and that there was a camping cot ready to be used if we wanted to use it, considering that we were travelling with our baby. It was also nice having access to the animals on the farm and that my son was able to feed them, with carrots left for us in the fridge by the property owners.
*The setting is very pretty and peaceful, and it's only a short drive to Swellendam.
*The lodge itself was large and very spacious (and would be lovely if it had been properly cleaned and maintained).
*A braai and plenty of wood/fire lighters were provided.
*A simple breakfast was included.
*The bed was large and comfortable.
On arrival the welcome was warm and friendly, including the willingness to go the extra mile if the need arises. Loved the feel at home cozy room, the pool and the area around the pool. Elianthe Guesthouse will definitely see my wife and I again, hopefully sooner than later, Thank you for very much Cliff and Elize Sands.
We loved the quirky little hoenderhok huisie. Great value for money. Everything we needed for a stop over from the Eastern Cape on our way to the Western Cape. Host gave us a warm welcome. Rustic but sparkling clean. Equipped for self catering. Spectacular views to the mountains and real farm experience for the kids.
Amazing place in Swellendam.. incredible views of the mountains. This was a beautiful room with a large balcony looking right at the mountains. The room was lovely with plenty of facilities. Lovely soft fluffy towels and also pooll towels. Fabulous location with lots of restaurants close by.
Beautiful little house, with an amazing view of the mountains, vineyards and farm.
Very friendly host, great communication and easy access.
They have an inverter installed, which was great during loadshedding.
Probably our favourite stay for our holiday in the Capetown area.
The Apartment was equipped with everything you need . I liked that it had a braai just on the balcony where I stayed.
I enjoyed my stay there. I stayed in quite a few places in Swellendam this past 2 months and this self catering apartment was the best so far.
it was located in nice part of Swellendam and within walking distance to a few excellent restaurants. The garden and pool area where we’ll managed with fabulous views of the mountains.
Room was very clean with all the facilities we needed. We really enjoyed relaxing on the swimming pool deck and on the river bank, very peaceful and beautiful.
Loved the location and cottage, real working farm and peaceful. Beautiful views. Most comfortable and cozy bed ever! Loved the stay and coming back for sure.
