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!
Comfortable room, in lovely gardens and with a beautiful swimming pool, which my wife was glad to use after a long drive. The hotel was close to good restaurants and cafes, and other local shops, all within walking distance. The owner booked us a table at an excellent restaurant nearby for dinner. Breakfast was very good and more than adequate. And we were able to park just outside our room. We stayed for just one night, and wished it could have been longer. We would happily stay here if we return to Swellendam.
The room is huge and has all amenities that you need to cook. Also there is a gas stove so you can still cook during load shedding and a generator that works as well during load shedding. Shower is always hot. Safe area and helpful staff. Good place to stay if you want to visit Marloth Park. I walked there in 20 mins. Highly recommend a stayover in Swellendam to see museum and take in beauty of mountains.
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.
Lovely setting alongside the river in a very quiet area. Very comfortable rooms set in a beautiful Zen Garden. No breakfast service but they did provide an excellent choice of food for a self catering breakfast. The hostess was very pleasant and helpful making Restaurant booking and making a great recommendation when it turned out our first choice was full
Stunning! Wish we booked for longer. Seeing the wild animals and giraffe was a wonderful treat. Fantastic view of the mountains with a stunning sunset. We enjoyed the warm hot tub. Unit was very neat and clean. Will not hesitate to recommend Kwetu Guest Farm and hope we will have the privilege to enjoy the facilities again.
Very stylish accomodation. Excellent pool area. Friendly pool guy who also washes your car.Excellent breakfast served on terrace. Generator backs up the kitchen to combat load sharing cuts.Easy walk to town and restaurants.The accomodation was beautifully and stylishly decorated. Both breakfasts and staff were delightful.
The kids loved meeting the farm animals. Our host showed us around and told us lots of interesting stories about the animals. Spacious accommodation, comfy lounge area, good value for money. You are aware of the N2 but at the same time on the doorstep to Bontebok NP which we basically had for ourselves.
excellent location,beautiful views of the mountains and a farm stay quiet feel but close enough to town to pop in for dinner
loved the owners dog Daisy that visited us and swam in the dam
I could bring my Yorkie for a minimal fee !
It’s a sweet little house with everything you need for a short stay.
The Arumvale Country house was the perfect hotel for us. We had the cottage and therfor enough room for ourselves and had the most comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped and you have everything you need for a great Barbecue.
George gave us a warm welcome and had plenty of tips for our stay.
Beautiful house with all the amenities one might need (air fryer included). The area is vast and the views stunning. So much space to explore and enjoy, by foot, bicycle or 4x4. The river with canoes is wonderful. The farm dogs are too sweet and well-behaved. So much to love! Will be back.
The owner was very friendly and welcoming. It's in a very clean and quiet area close to town. The room was so spacious and with an extra bed and the kitchen have everything I needed from microwave, fridge, stove, cutlery and to top it up they had a washing machine for my laundry
Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful. Venue excellent. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely visit again, but for longer, Swellendam is generally a lovely town with splendour antique architecture. Lovely place to visit. Venue highly recommended.
This little farm getaway is perfect for a quiet few days out in the countryside.
Waking up to the farm animals outside our window was an added bonus.
The fireplace/braai area being inside is an added bonus and kept the whole place warm all night.
The farmstyle feeling was exactly what we needed during our visit to Swellendam. Located a few km's from the town centre, we could easilly move around. Staff was very friendly and accommodating of our special request for late check in.
From parting the stunning daybreak mist on the Breëde River surface to anchoring in paradise where the birdsong and sound of raising fish fill your houseboat cabin once dusk peacefully descends – a must for tired souls!
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.
