Hopeloos te kort, maar baie rustig. Swellendam het aan al ons behoeftes voldoen.

Dit was 'n kort besoek. Die eenheid het aan al ons behoeftes voldoen en was baie skoon en netjies. Die stoep voor was heerlik om ons koffie by te geniet terwyl ons na die voëltjies in die pragtige tuin kyk.

Hopelessly short, but very peaceful. Swellendam met all our needs.

It was a short visit. The unit met all our needs and was very clean and tidy. The front porch was lovely to enjoy our coffee with while watching the birds in the beautiful garden.

Lovely accommodation and some lovely surprise treats too!

We had a lovely stay at the Pajama Donkie and will definitely stay there again. Lourens and Sarette were welcoming and friendly hosts. The cottage is charming and is in a lovely garden setting. We also felt safe and secure. The kitchen needs a special mention: spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed - the best I have ever seen at a guest house!

Sien bo.

Sowaar, dié donkie is ’n wonderlike ding! As jy iemand is wat hou van eenvoud, skoonheid en ’n huis met hart, gaan hierdie klein kothuis, omring met die fraaiste tuintjie, jou só gelukkig maak. Ons gesin van 4 moes onlangs oppie nipper ’n oorstaanplekkie kry vir een nag op Swellendam. Hoe dankbaar is ek nie dat die deure van Pajama Donkie vir ons opgestaan het nie - en hoe spyt dat ons nie al vroeër die dag daar opgedaag het nie! Die hartlikheid het ons sommer met die intrapslag tuis laat voel. Die aandag aan detail verklap dadelik iets van ’n gasvrou met ’n bedagsame omgee hart: vir my en man het daar ’n welkomsjokoladetjie op die bedkassie gewag, vir ons 2 kindertjies elkeen ’n Paaseier. Daar was onwettig-lekker beskuit innie fles, vars melk & aarbeikonfyt innie yskas - en innie badkamer, selfs gesiglappies vir grimering afhaal. Als was vars, silwerskoon, netjies en net lieflik - ’n plek wat getuig van vertroeteling. Selfs die uittrekbank in die leefarea waarop die kleintjies (3jr. en 9jr.) geslaap het, was van super-kwaliteit - alles behalwe daai dikwels holruggeryde sleeper wat ons almal al iewers oppie langpad moes trotseer. Om ná die uitpakslag met ’n koffietjie op die voorstoep te kon ontspan met ’n uitsig op die berge wat hier neffens jou groottoon uittroon, was asem vir die siel. Laatmiddag het ons gaan stap - salig! Letterlik ’n katspoegie af in die pad loop jy deur ’n laning pragbome, oor ’n kabbelende riviertjie. Die kinders, poegaai van ’n lang rit, kon kaalvoet verken en ons grootmense kon voel hoe ons langpadnerwe sommer net sê ‘…’. ’n Paar treë verder, en jy loop jy jou vas in ’n tamaai verrassing: die allermooiste perdeplaas. ‘Asembenemend’ klink dalk soos ’n versiersuiker-woord, maar dis wat dit was! In hierdie Pajamadonkie se stylvolle, fantasties-toegeruste stal kan enige reisiger maar met groot vreugde kom afsaal. Ons kom só graag weer!

Indeed, this donkey is a wonderful thing! If you are someone who likes simplicity, beauty and a house with heart, this small cottage, surrounded by the most beautiful garden, will make you so happy. Our family of 4 recently had to find a place to stay for one night on Swellendam. How grateful I am that the doors of Pajama Donkie opened for us - and how sorry we were not to have arrived earlier in the day! The warmth made us feel at home as soon as we stepped in. The attention to detail immediately reveals something of a hostess with a thoughtful and caring heart: for me and my husband there was a welcome chocolate on the bedside table, for our 2 children each an Easter egg. There were illegally-delicious biscuits in the jar, fresh milk & strawberry jam in the fridge - and in the bathroom, even face cloths for removing make-up. Als was fresh, spotless, neat and just lovely - a place that testifies to pampering. Even the pull-out couch in the living area on which the little ones (3yrs. and 9yrs.) slept was of super-quality - everything except that often hollow-backed sleeper that we've all had to face somewhere along the way. After unpacking, being able to relax with a coffee on the front porch with a view of the mountains that tower over here according to your big toe was a breath of fresh air for the soul. In the late afternoon we went for a walk - blissful! Literally a cat's pee down the road you walk through a lane of beautiful trees, over a babbling river. The children, tired from a long drive, could explore barefoot and us adults could feel how our long-distance nerves just say '…'. A few steps further, and you run into a big surprise: the most beautiful horse farm. 'Breathtaking' may sound like an icing sugar word, but that's what it was! In this Pajama Donkey's stylish, fantastically equipped stable, any traveler can come and saddle up with great joy. We would love to come again!

Ons kom beslis weer. Een van die mooiste en skoonste eenhede wat ons ervaar het.

Ons het ongelooflik lekker gebly. Ons is vriendelik ontvang by 'n uiters stylvolle en netjiese wooneenheid. Daar is baie aandag gegee aan detail. Ons is voorsien van alles wat ons nodig gehad het om te braai. Dit was sommer net vrek lekker. Min gashere ontvang en sien jou af. En die koffie was vrek lekker.

Pajama Donkie is 'n absoluut pragtige plek met alles wat nodig is om heerlik te bly.

Lieflike plekkie met pragtige dekor en aandag aan detail! Dit het alles wat 'n mens kan nodig hê om heerlik te bly, en ek dink dit bied uitstekende waarde vir geld. Dit is op die kant van die dorp aan die berg se kant, so dis lekker vreedsaam en baie mooi. Die eienaars was uiters behulpsaam en vriendelik, en ons het regtig ons tydjie daar baie geniet.

Wonderlike verblyf lekker in Swellendam.

Hierdie was 'n uitstekende keuse. Die eenheid was nog beter as wat dit op die webblad gelyk het. Dis smaakvol gemeubileer en alles wat ons kon nodig kry (en meer) was beskikbaar in terme van toerusting, ens. Alles was perfek en die eienaars was baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig. Sal definitief weer hier kom bly en kan dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel sonder om twee keer te dink.

Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone without a second thought.

Wat meer het jy nodig vir 'n hemelse vakansie? Die mooiste kothuis met uitsonderlike uitsig op die berge en alles wat jy nodig mag hê vir 'n selfsorg vakansie in Swellendam.

Ons het 'n heerlike tyd gehad by Pajama Donkie.

Die eenheid is pragtig met aandag aan die kleinste detail wat die verblyf baie spesiaal maak. Blomme uit die mooiste tuin en sjokolade op die bed is een van die lekker bederwes. Die eenheid is gemaklik, ruim en silwerskoon met heerlike linne en beddens. Veilige parkering was 'n groot pluspunt. Die eenheid is ook heeltemal afgesonderd en baie privaat. Ons sal beslis weer terug wees.
