Rookreuk in plek het dit bederf!

Plekkie het alles in wat benodig word vir nag se oorbly MAAR daar was rookreuk van vorige gaste in plek. Ons het eers 4 uur die middag ingeboek. As die huis se vensters en deure behoorlik oopgelos was vanaf 10h00 wat vorige gaste vertrek het sou daar deurtrek van lug gewees het en rookreuk baie minder. Daar is diefwering voor al die vensters wat dit moontlik gemaak het. Dit is nie gedoen nie. Met ons aankoms was deure en vensters alles toe. Ons rook nie en het dit aaklig gevind.

Smoke smell in place spoiled it!

Plekkie has everything needed for a night's stay BUT there was a smell of smoke from previous guests in the place. We didn't check in until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If the house's windows and doors had been properly left open from 10:00 a.m. when previous guests left, there would have been drafts of air and much less smell of smoke. There are burglar bars in front of all the windows which made this possible. It has not been done. On our arrival, doors and windows were all closed. We don't smoke and found it awful.

Perfekte wegbreek.

Die gasstoof was 'n aangename verrassing gewees. Ons het alles gehad wat ons nodig gehad het en het baie veilig gevoel. Die tuin is sprokiemooi en bied 'n rustige en kalmerende atmosfeer. Klipgooi van verskillende kuierplekke.

Net een groot rustigheid.

Ek en my man was vir 'n troue in Swellendam. Ons het twee aande oorgeslaap en die plekkie is so lekker privaat. Ons het lekker lui dae voor die kaggel deurgebring terwyl die storm buite gereën het. Daar was meer as genoeg hout sonder enige koste. Die vol DSTV en WiFi was 'n bonus. Alles was baie netjies en daar was alles wat nodig is vir 'n lekker kuier. Ons is vriendelik ontvang.

Just one big calm.

My husband and I were in Swellendam for a wedding. We stayed two nights and the place is so nice and private. We spent nice lazy days in front of the fireplace while the storm rained outside. There was more than enough wood at no cost. The full DSTV and WiFi was a bonus. Everything was very neat and there was everything needed for a nice visit. We were kindly received.

Mooi ingerig met als wat jy nodig het, en baie gemaklik en tuis gevoel. Braaiplekkie baie lekker en privaat. Die visdam, tuin en hoenders was 'n belewenis. So mooi en ontspannend om na te kyk. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en aangenaam.

Daar is 'n kaggel ook maar ten tye het dit gereën en ek sou graag 'n onderdak braaiplek of binne braaiplek wou gehad het. Vir die prys wat ek betaal het, kan ek nie kla nie.

Pleasant location, but the cottage is unkempt.

A lot of dust and cobwebs. Looked as if it has not been cleaned in a long time. Some dishes were dirty, bathroom mats were full of dirt and lots of hair left in basin. Toilets also very dirty. Would not recommend and thankfully we were only there for one night.

The garden cottage in Swellendam was a very good stay.

The owners were very welcoming and the accommodation both sleeping wise and in general was excellent. Very good stay and a lovely town in the country with pleasant surrounds.

Alles wat jy benodig!

Wow wat ‘n fantastiese plek om te bly. Anel het ons tuis laat voel, en die plek het alles wat jy nodig het, en nog meer. Die is sowaar die beste plek wat ons by oornag het op ons Kaap toer. Netjies, skoon en veilig. Dankie Anel, ons sal jou weer sien.

Heerlike kuier om die braaivleisvuur/

Ons het heerlik gebly in die Garden Cottage wat goed toegerus is. Vir die wat daarvan hou om pool en darts te speel terwyl hulle braai, is dit die ideale plekkie. Ons sou net van 'n koekieseep in elke stort gehou het. Gelukkig het ons ons eie gehad. Die beddens is gemaklik en Anel het seker gemaak dat ons genoeg komberse het vir die koue aande. Daar is geen pak- of hangplek in die tweede slaapkamer nie en die badkamer is ook piepklein, maar mens het nie meer nodig nie.

Had a great time next to the fire.

We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped Garden Cottage. For those who enjoy playing pool and darts while having a braai, this is the ideal spot. We just would have liked soap in every shower. Fortunately, we had our own. The beds are comfortable and Anel made sure we had enough blankets for the cold evenings. There is no storage or hanging space in the second bedroom and the bathroom is also tiny, but you don't need anything more.

Warm reception to a cottage that's fully equipped with everything one needs.

Friendly host. Cosy, well-equipped cottage. Electric blanket on a cold night made a huge difference.

Relaxed and comfortable break away in a very safe environment.

We attended a cycling event on a very cold winter weekend. Being out in the cold and rain for most of the day, it was a huge treat to come back to a comfy bed with an electric blanket. The cottage was well equipped for the two of us. Even though the cottage is on the outskirts of town and you can hear chickens and roosters. It is also close enough to restaurants and entertainment in town. The friendly host supplied us with tea, coffee, and milk which was very welcome upon our arrival.

5 Stars!

The Garden Cottage is a spacious well-kept cottage. The Wi-Fi and full DStv was great. The lounge area leads to a spacious braai area surrounded by trees allowing a relaxing environment. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and immediately felt at home. The property is secure and we felt safe. I will definitely return and refer to friends and family.

Rustige en veilige verblyf met stil omgewing en baie mooi skoon.

Baie stil omgewing met mooi uitsig op die berg, baie skoon en netjiese plek met lieflike warm water, skoon linne en handdoeke en baie behulpsame gasvrou, veilige parkering vir voertuig, volledige selfsorg-eenheid met alles wat jy nodig kan kry, lieflike tuin om in te ontspan, lieflike geriewe met WiFi en groot TV, baie oulike braai-area. Al wat ek sou aanbeveel is 'n los waaier omdat ek maklik warm kry.

Quiet and safe accommodation with quiet surroundings and very clean.

Very quiet environment with nice view of the mountain, very clean and tidy place with lovely hot water, clean linen and towels and very helpful hostess, secure parking for vehicle, complete self-catering unit with everything you could need, lovely garden to hang out in to relax, lovely facilities with WiFi and large TV, very nice braai area. All I would recommend is a loose fan because I get hot easily.

Heerlike spasie en goeie ligging.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die plek is maklik om te kry. Daar is veilige parkering. Die plek is ruim en goed ingerig. Ons het bietjie avontuur gehad met 'n stoof wat die krag bly afskop al is alles anders in die eenheid af. Daar is heerlike braaiplek en hoenders wat soggens vroeg kom groet. Wees maar versigtig, die gordyne is deurskynend. Jy mag dalk vir iemand 'n vertoning lewer. Ons het heerlik gebly al was dit net een nag.

Great space and good location.

We had a very nice stay. The place is easy to find. There is secure parking. The place is spacious and well appointed. We had some adventure with a stove that kept kicking the power off even when everything else in the unit was off. There is a delicious barbecue area and chickens that come to greet you early in the morning. Be careful, the curtains are transparent. You might put on a show for someone. We had a wonderful stay even if it was only one night.
