A Hilltop Country Retreat
9.0 (62 reviews)

A Hilltop Country Retreat ★★★★

📍 7 Bergsig Ave, Swellendam

"Lovely location, rooms are well kept and well maintained. Kitchen equipment could have more variety with regards to utensils and crockery for those not wanting to head to town for dinner at a restaurant."

Aan de Bergen
8.4 (22 reviews)

Aan de Bergen ★★★

📍 3 Bethel St, Swellendam

"The owner was friendly and explained everything to us. The accommodation was great and we left there well rested. The parking was safe behind a gate and the guesthouse was nicely located close to shops and other venues we needed to go to. We really enjoyed the few days stay and would definitely recommend it. "

Hotel Roosje Van de Kaap
8.6 (61 reviews)

Hotel Roosje Van de Kaap ★★★★

📍 5 Drostdy St, Swellendam

"Been there 4 times since 2020. Excellent location, beautiful rooms BUT the owner (Dutch guy) is very unfriendly. Our last stay in Sept. 2025 he had a shouting match with his wife across the garden which was not pleasant. His wife has always welcomed us and gone the extra mile! Was going to stay there in November but after his abrupt mannerisms we have booked in elsewhere."

Marula Lodge

Marula Lodge ★★★

Aanhuizen Guest House
8.7 (13 reviews)

Aanhuizen Guest House ★★★

📍 6 Van Blommenstein St, Swellendam

"Overall a lovely place to stay over. Neat and very central located. Quiet neighbourhood and good security. We will choose Aanhuizen again for our stop over point. Thank you Tom for your friendly welcoming."

A Riverbed Guesthouse
9.8 (57 reviews)

A Riverbed Guesthouse ★★★★

📍 7 River Ln, Swellendam

"Beautiful hidden place. Big and tidy room with comfortable bed. Kitchenette with all you need. Covered patio. Big pool. Not to forget, we loved the 2 Great Danes :-)"

Bergview Guesthouse Swellendam
9.6 (40 reviews)

Bergview Guesthouse Swellendam ★★★★

📍 26 Berg St, Swellendam

"This was a stopover en route for home. We had been upgraded by our host to a garden suite, which was a spacious room with heating and electric blanket, appreciated in the winter months. The location is ideal for a pleasant 5-minute walk to local restaurants. The gardens are lovely and well-kept, this would be even better staying in the summer months, I imagine. Breakfast - you pre-select either continental or english; we had english and it was well cooked."

Gaikou Lodge
8.7 (47 reviews)

Gaikou Lodge ★★★★

📍 Berg Street, Swellendam

"Fantastic weekend with stunning venue, great service and awesome food, would recommend to any small group, we were 24 people and we could have the place to ourselves. The food was really good and plentiful and Janeska did a sterling job to manage all the requirements. The rooms are beautifully decorated and just what we needed, some privacy but also a place to get together around the pool."

Rothman Manor
9.1 (66 reviews)

Rothman Manor ★★★★★

📍 268 Voortrek St, Swellendam

"We stayed for only one night but the accommodation was superb. A great suite. Seeing the animals, including the Zebra and Springboks in the field was lovely. Great breakfast and all in all, exceeded expectations. Great value for money. "

Schoone Oordt Country House Hotels in Swellendam

Schoone Oordt Country House

"Just the one night here unfortunately on the way down to the Garden route but so much more than just a stopover and we wish we had been able to stay longer. We were made to feel so welcome by all the staff from the minute we arrived . We had been suffering with a stomach bug since leaving Cape Town so reluctantly declined what looked to be some fantastic dinner options. However we were offered a simple salmon trout dish with rice and vegetables that was perfect for our “delicate” condition. Likewise , whilst we had to temper our breakfasts options, it is not to be missed - you will not need lunch but you can of course return for the complimentary afternoon warm scones! The house and grounds are beautiful and our room was lovely. Our car was even washed before we left in the morning! Highly recommended"

La Sosta Hotels in Swellendam

La Sosta

"Absolutely wonderful from start to finish. Rooms are great. Pool area is lovely. The food is amazing!!!! We ate there both nights as why bother to go somewhere else when the food and wine was perfect. Swellendam is a pretty place to stop on your way through the garden route and a change from the coast"

Bloomestate Swellendam Hotels in Swellendam

Bloomestate Swellendam

"A curated experience through and through! From the moment we arrived at Bloomestate the owners welcomed us and made sure to assist with everything from evening dinner recommendations to reservations. The grounds are immaculate from the citrus orchards to the common area and poolside. The room was beautiful and private. With scented bath salts and bottled waters directly from the natural estate springs. And let’s talk about breakfast…made to order hot eggs and bacon with table service, home made jams and a selection of teas from around the globe. Hands down we would visit this estate again and highly recommend adding it to your itinerary."

Elianthe Guesthouse Hotels in Swellendam

Elianthe Guesthouse

"It was truly a wonderful and exciting trip to Cape Town and Elianthe was an overnight stop. The service was excellent, rooms were beautiful and very clean. Swimming pool was clean, everything about our stay was awesome. When we asked for places te eat the staff was very helpful and we had the most amazing dinner at Woodpeckers. The following morning we had a stunning breakfast with the most delicious houseblend coffee from Clocks Peak coffee in Swellendam. Will definitely stay AT Elianthe again. "

A Hilltop Country Retreat ★★★★
"We had a truly wonderful stay at A Hilltop Country Retreat in Swellendam. The most impressive aspect is undoubtedly the location, nestled at the foot of the mountain, offering beautiful surroundings and a peaceful atmosphere. The daily cleaning service was excellent, with staff who were both friendly and professional. The rooms and bedding were spotless, which made our stay all the more comfortable. The interior décor is also very tastefully done, creating a warm and inviting space. A special thank you to Lana, our host, who made sure we were always well looked after. We truly appreciated the care and attention to detail. Thank you to Lana and the entire team for your friendly hospitality. Kind regards, Lizette and Francois Jordaan"

"We stayed at Gaiko for 1 night and it sadly happened to fall during the really bad storms that happened. Power was out all over town and it was causing chaos all over town. But the staff at Gaiko were handling the crisis like a dream. Very friendly staff. Room was stunning as always and the bed was super comfortable. Will definitely be back again!"
