Peaceful, bliss, perfect.

Wow from the get go we were welcomed with open arms and a smile. The units are fitted with everything you need. Neatly kept and modern. My favourite part was the carrots to feed the donkeys! So cute.

Very comfortable, well stocked, and the kids enjoyed it.

Kids enjoyed the grass outside and feeding the donkeys and sheep. Cottages were warm and very well stocked. We specifically liked that there was ample firewood. The location is also close enough to town that you can easily drive to do some shopping.

Dit was lekker in die dorp met 'n plaasatmosfeer.

Die plek is pragtig ─ 'n lekker stoep met gemakstoele om te lê en kyk vir die hoenders wat op die gras wei en kom aanklop vir ietsie om te peusel. Die donkies het ook kom hallo sê en dit was 'n heerlike tydverdryf. Die cottage self was luuks, skoon en netjies met alles en nog meer wat 'n mens kan nodig hê. Ons het heerlik gebraai met hout wat verskaf was.

It was nice in the town with a farm atmosphere.

The place is beautiful ─ a nice porch with easy chairs to lie down and watch the chickens grazing on the grass and coming knocking for something to snack on. The donkeys also came to say hello and it was a lovely pastime. The cottage itself was luxurious, clean and tidy with everything and more that one could need. We had a great barbecue with wood that was provided.

Enjoyable 2 night stay. Loved the farm feel.

Well set up unit which was clean and neat. The friendly donkeys were a treat to watch and we enjoyed feeding them some carrots. Only criticism is the sleeper couches which had some sharp wires which poked through when you sat on them. Sure they can easily be repaired. Big plus for us was the backup power which came on during loadshedding. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

Dolittle Cottages 's response

Hi Jacques,

Thank you so much for your review and our humble apologies for the couches.

We have ordered new couches and are waiting impatiently for their arrival (6-8 weeks lead time) so that we can get rid of the ones we currently have.

When you visit us again there will be no poking couches, we promise.

Kind regards,
Team Dolittle

Fantastiese kuier in Swellendam.

Ons het Dolittle besoek vir 'n vriendin se kombuistee. Ons het die naweek vreeslik geniet. Die hele huis was silver skoon en al die kombuisgeriewe was in uitstekende toestand. Ek kon glad nie fout vind nie. Ek sal beslis Dolittle aanbeveel en op my lysie hou van plekkies om na terug te keer.

Just perfect!

My husband and I stayed at Dolittle Cottages on 2 separate occasions, about a month apart, for a week each time. The Cottage has everything you could need for self-catering as well as little luxuries; all of high quality. The unit is very spacious with a large stoep, grass area and communal plunge pool for guests. The donkeys and chickens are a joy to have around. The housekeeping and grounds staff are very friendly and accommodating. This is a must-stay establishment when in Swellendam!

Heerlike plaaskuier in middel van dorp!

Ons het vier heerlike dae deurgebring by Dolittle Cottages. Die kothuis is pragtig, ruim en uitstekend toegerus. Dit voel werklik of jy op 'n plaas bly in die middel van die dorp. Langs die rivier (wat sommer lekker afgekom het na die goeie reën op ons aankomsdag) en met 'n uitsig op die kampie waarin 'n skaap, drie donkies, en 'n paar werfhoenders! Ons het baie veilig gevoel (danksy die elektriese sekuriteitsbedrading en alarmstelsel). Die braai op die stoep was heerlik en die motor het gebaat by die skadunetparkering. Alhoewel die twee kothuise langs mekaar gebou is, het dit tog privaat gevoel. Ons kan geen kritiek lewer op die heerlike verblyfsopsie in Swellendam nie. En sal sonder twyfel terugkeer.

Lovely farm visit in the middle of town!

We spent four lovely days at Dolittle Cottages. The cottage is beautiful, spacious and excellently equipped. It really feels like you are staying on a farm in the middle of town. Next to the river (which came down just fine after the good rain on our arrival day) and with a view of the camp in which a sheep, three donkeys, and a few yard chickens! We felt very safe (thanks to the electrical security wiring and alarm system). The braai on the stoep was delicious and the car benefited from the shaded net parking. Although the two cottages were built next to each other, they still felt private. We cannot criticize the wonderful accommodation option in Swellendam. And will return without a doubt.

Wat 'n wow plekkie! Sal enige dag terugkeer vir die vrede en sorgsaamheid van die platteland.

Die uitleg is uitstekend! Ruimte, kwaliteit, niks ontbreek nie, pure bederf. Die donkies en skaap en pekanneute was 'n groot bonus en die plaasgevoel heerlik! Ook die uitsig op die berge, sekuriteit, omgewing. Maak vir seker 'n draai by die Bontebokpark - wat 'n weggesteekte juweel! En besoek Wildebraam taste room! Dankie vir alles. Julle is super puik!

Uitsonderlik en spesiaal.

Ons het in DoLittle kothuis gebly en dit was duidelik dat daar baie moeite gedoen word om te verseker dat die huisie netjies, modern, skoon en gemaklik is! Ons reis baie, ook in die buiteland, en die kothuis was regtig een van die mees gerieflike en mooiste selfsorg eenhede waarin ons nog gebly het. Die teenwoordigheid van die 2 donkies, 'n skaap en 'n paar hoenders het die ondervinding nog meer spesiaal gemaak en ek het dit baie geniet om vir die donkies die wortels, wat in die yskas is vir hierdie doel, te gee. Sal beslis weer by DoLittle cottages bly as ons weer in die Swellendam omgewing is.

Exceptional and special.

We stayed in DoLittle cottage and it was clear that a lot of effort is put into ensuring that the cottage is neat, modern, clean and comfortable! We travel a lot, also abroad, and the cottage was really one of the most comfortable and beautiful self-catering units we have ever stayed in. The presence of the 2 donkeys, a sheep and some chickens made the experience even more special and I really enjoyed giving the donkeys the carrots, which are in the fridge for this purpose. Will definitely stay at DoLittle cottages again if we are in the Swellendam area again.

Dit was nou 'n goeie keuse om ons week lange wegbreek af te sluit. Netjiese skoon gerieflike akkommodasie met oog vir detail en goed toegerus. Die rustigheid wat die donkies by bring gee plaas atmosfeer. Beslis aanbeveelbaar vir paar nagte se oorbly! Ons kom weer. Baie dankie en seëninge.

Pragtig. Rustig.

Dis die mooiste huisie en dit voel of jy op die plaas is al is jy in die hartjie van die dorp. Die 3 donkies en die skaap maak dit ekstra spesiaal. Sal dit definitief aanbeveel.

We spent a long weekend at Dolittle Cottage and enjoyed our stay thoroughly!

This is just a very special place - the animals are special and create a rustic farm atmosphere, yet one is in the town and close to shops and other sight seeing experiences. But I needed nothing more than just sitting on the stoep of the cottage, relaxing with a book or just doing nothing! It felt as if I had been away on holiday for a week and not just a long weekend. Owner friendly and accommodating. Exceptional experience!

Verblyf plek baie netjies, rustige omgewing en die kersie en het lekker die donkies en skaap gevoer.

Heerlik gebly, alles was perfek. As diere jou laat tick is dit die plek om te wees. Heerlik om die donkies kos te gee en die skaap en as bonus het 'n hoender ons elke dag kom besoek. Net op dié noot, vat baie wortels saam, die donkies het 'n groot eetlus en weet mooi hoe om te vra, maar dit is heerlik om hulle te voer.

Place of accommodation very neat, peaceful environment and the cherry and had a good time feeding the donkeys and sheep.

Great stay, everything was perfect. If animals make you tick this is the place to be. Lovely to feed the donkeys and the sheep and as a bonus a chicken came to visit us every day. Just on that note, take lots of carrots with you, the donkeys have a big appetite and know how to ask, but it's lovely to feed them.

Ons het so lekker gebly en sal vir seker terug kom!

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly by Dolittle Cottages en ons dogtertjie (18 maande oud) het haarself gate uit geniet met die diere en groot grasperk. Die kothuise is mooi en netjies, die grasperk is groen, die diere is vriendelik en alles is rustig om jou. Ons sal vir seker weer hier bly vir 'n naweek!

6 out of 5 stars, couldn't ask for more!

What a great cottage, it is absolutely amazing! The whole experience is absolutely amazing I really would recommend this to anyone, there is a small splash pool that my daughter loved. Everything is so neat and tidy, of the best quality. Small touches made it so homey. We got cherries as well as nuts and it was a very nice surprise. The staff was so friendly and the donkeys adds a nice farm touch. It is close to everything and was a absolute pleasure staying there. We will def see you soon again! Thanx so much for everything!

Ek het nog nooit in enige self catering akkommodasie gebly wat so luuks en goed toegerus is nie. Alles was pynlik netjies en skoon. Dit is so mooi en huislik ingerig. Die omgewing is pragtig en ons het die donkies en hoenders net so baie geniet. Ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel, selfs vir diegene met kinders, want daar is lowergroen grasperke om op te speel.

Ons het ongetwyfeld 'n diamant in Swellendam ontdek. wat 'n ongelooflike ervaring!

Ons het die mees ongelooflikste ervaring gehad by Dolittle Cottages en ek bedoel regtig ongelooflik! Die eienaars het regtig uit hulle pad gegaan om seker te maak alles is perfek. Die huis was ongelooflik pragtig, netjies en skoon en in die huis is daar absoluut alles waaraan jy kan dink, ons het niks gekort nie. Die eienaars verstaan beslis wat 'n mens nodig het as jy 'n aand weg is van die huis, beslis waarde vir geld. Die hoeveelheid detail is net te veel om te noem. Jy kan letterlik net daar stop met jou klere en iets om te eet, want die res is alles daar. My seun het heerlik op die groot groen grasperk gespeel en het die donkies vreeslik geniet. Ons gaan regtig baie weg en bly in baie plekke en julle plek kry ongetwyfeld 10 uit 10 van ons. Dolittle Cottages gaan ons beslis weer sien as ons in Swellendam is.

We have undoubtedly discovered a diamond in Swellendam. what an amazing experience!

We had the most amazing experience at Dolittle Cottages and I mean really amazing! The owners really went out of their way to make sure everything was perfect. The house was incredibly beautiful, neat and clean and in the house there is absolutely everything you can think of, we lacked nothing. The owners definitely understand what one needs when away from home for a night, definitely value for money. The amount of detail is just too much to mention. You can literally just stop there with your clothes and something to eat, because the rest is all there. My son had a great time playing on the big green lawn and enjoyed the donkeys very much. We really go away a lot and stay in many places and your place undoubtedly gets 10 out of 10 from us. We will definitely see Dolittle Cottages again when we are in Swellendam.

Comfortable, neat, clean accommodation, well-located en route to final destination and great farm-like setting makes it excellent for kids!

It was a pity about the geyser. Intermittent hot water doesn't make for a pleasant shower experience. A few too many little decor elements. Would prefer less, especially when travelling with little kids. Otherwise a great little gem, with friendly welcoming service and I will definitely recommend to others and consider as a rest-stop when passing-by on a road trip again.

The gas was full, however we did have a problem with the geyser and the technician was called in the following day to rectify the matter, our gas is checked constantly to ensure it is never empty. It is extremely sad that as you arrived in a very bad mood, you found it necessary to swear at me when I advised you at 1:05 that your cottage was still being cleaned and prepared for you. I do take comfort in the fact that you are the only guest to ever complain about any of our facilities and services. Our security includes each cottage having an alarm, electric fencing around our entire property, a security gate which can only be opened by remote control, as well as 24-hour cameras and armed response, more than that cannot be expected.

Pragtig, nuut, modern. Eienaars baie gasvry. Awesome beddens en beddegoed. Mak donkies is te oulik. Ons beveel Dolittle 1000 keer aan!

Wat jy sien is wat jy kry - pragtige kothuise en ons sal beslis weer daar bly met ons volgende besoek.

Pragtig en baie gemaklik in die Cottage gebly ons klein kinders was gaande oor die diere en dis regtig kindervriendelik. In Swellendam is daar bitter min kindervriendelike verblyf, so dié was 'n pluspunt. Eienaars is professioneel, vriendelik en behulpsaam en ons kon nie vir meer vra nie.

What you see is what you get - beautiful cottages and we will definitely stay there again on our next visit.

Beautiful and very comfortable stay in the Cottage, our small children were delighted with the animals and it's really child-friendly. In Swellendam there are very few child-friendly accommodations, so this was a plus. Owners are professional, friendly and helpful and we couldn't ask for more.
