Penelope South Africa

We had a wonderful stay and awesome hosting at Roosje van de Kaap. The garden, pool and facilities treated us so well. Our large cottage had all the facilities you are looking for, a longer stay would fit perfect. Our breakfast in the wonderful lodge was great and service and hospitality beautiful. We really would recommend Roosje van de Kaap to have this great comfortable stay in stunning Swellendam.
