Very comfortable and taste full place. Great breakfast and service. In town but the feeling of being in nature.

Ron South Africa

friendly welcome, spacious room, very comfortable, excellent facilities, fab breakfast

Hilary Bahrain

Everything was incredible, including all the small personal touches from home cooked brownies, drinks in the fridge, the sherry, the wood in the fire place, the freshly baked bread and tasty breakfast, to Terence's welcome and to duvet that hugged. And even to Terence wiping down the car before we left. It was quiet exceptional and we will be back for a 2 night stay. Thank you for the booking which you made at Feild and Fork, it was outstanding.

WONDERFUL LITTLE HAVEN OF PEACE IN A BUSY WORLD. The staff even cleaned our car - without being asked.

Has a wonderful garden to explore. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Walking distance to restaurants and museum. You may enjoy a hideaway atmosphere and a fire stove in cold night.

Kyo South Africa

Everything was amazing, especially the staff who went out of their way to make us feel at home. We even got complimentary milk tart and lemon meringue pie and they helped us organize a little braai to braai in front of our room. Just simply outstanding.

Sure, you can stay in many places in Swellendam and we encourage you to shop around. But if you want a foodie destination – and the press has been covering us well – try the adventure here. We hope you come here to experience the passion for what we do. We only cook every other night, so stay for two. You won't regret! Henk, Michel & Renate
