This retreat is located in quiet Swellendam in the foothills of the Langeberg Mountains. The spacious rooms feature modern décor with rustic touches and living areas with flat-screen satellite TVs.

All accommodation at A Hilltop Country Retreat is self-catering, and includes a kitchen with a gas stove and a refrigerator. Guests have the option of having the refrigerator stocked with breakfast items. Barbecue facilities are available to guests, and a packed lunch service is also offered. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout.

The spacious room was like a little house with anything you could possibly need. Very well equipped kitchen and massive bathroom. The bed was amazing - huge and extremely comfortable. I felt like moving in! There was a lovely pool too. Great helpful staff.

Located 6 km from Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve, HighlandsView provides accommodation with a garden, a terrace and a shared kitchen for your convenience.

A barbecue is available on site and cycling can be enjoyed within close proximity of the lodge.

This place is an absolute MUST! It has everything you could want. Gorgeous views, truly friendly and hospitable hosts, and a really comfortable and luxurious accommodation! This is the perfect place for a reset, to connect deeply with family or friends, or a space to "switch off" from the distractions of the day. You feel completely separate from the hustle and bustle of city life here. We will recommend this place to anyone looking for a genuine getaway. We only stayed one night and had to leave earlier the next morning, so I HIGHLY recommend you book TWO nights, instead of just one. There is a refreshing dam to swim in, beautiful nature reserve walks/hikes, and hammocks to swing in and relax. It kind of has it all. My wife and I stayed here to spend quality time together, so we intentionally spent time mostly ourselves, but if you are looking for making new friendships and having a laugh, there is a communal space where you can enjoy that as well. We highly recommend this place, and will be back again if we are in the area! Don't miss the opportunity to stay here! If you are looking for a luxury outdoors experience to refocus, relax, or have fun this is the place for you!

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and have kitchen facilities. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than vacation homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    *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.

    Marula Lodge is a very comfortable B&B in a good location on the Garden Route. We found the pool and gardens to be very peaceful and relaxing after a long drive from Cape Town, and enjoyed having a good breakfast on the patio.
