Perfect choice in Swellendam

My husband and I stayed here for two nights and we were really pleased we did. We stayed in a suite in the main house which was beautifully furnished and very spacious, comfortable and clean. We were made to feel very welcome and the owners were so kind making dinner reservations for us and giving us suggestions of places to visit in Swellendam. The location is excellent -within walking distance to some great restaurants. Swellendam is a beautiful place which we hope to return to one day and we would definitely stay here again if we do.

Great stay and lovely hosts

We spend a lot of time on the road, but seldom do we see such lovely hosts! Every detail was perfect, it started raining in the night, and we found umbrellas at our doorstep to walk to breakfast! Breakfast is served in a beautiful room, and is delicious. Definitely coming back 😄

There is no better!

This was our 2nd stopover at De Oude Pastorie. We were greeted as old friends, slept the comfort and luxury, had a superb breakfast and will repeat our support as often as we need to on our annual trips to Knysna. It it not cheap - but worth the additional cost

Sehr schöne Unterkunft im Zentrum von Swellendam. Unsere Gastgeber waren sehr freundliche und hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet und gross. Das Frühstück sehr lecker. Man konnte am Abend zu Fuss zu den sehr guten Restaurants spazieren. Swellendam ist sehr schön und man sollte mehr als nur einen Tag bleiben. Herzlichen Dank für den super schönen Aufenthalt ihn ihrem Gesthouse. Kann es nur empfehlen. Claudia und Enzo

For anyone looking for a for a stopover whist travelling along the Garden Route as we were, or visiting the beautiful countryside around this area, this is a lovely place to stay and full of character, the hosts Desmond and Wilma are also charming, engaging and great hosts.

Lovely welcoming family run B&B in beautiful Swellendam. Excellent stopping off point on the Garden Route. Best breakfast I had in South Africa made by the very friendly host! the bedtime glass of port was delightful.

Perfect place in a suberb accomodation with an excellent and friendly service. Clean room, nice tasteful breakfast served by owners. Feeling at home ...

This was an amazing find; this lovingly restored old pastor’s house presents huge comfortable rooms with lovely open areas to meet other guests. Our room, with its private balcony is big enough for four king sized beds and to still have an elegant party.

The decor has had no expense spared with expertly designed pine tongue and groove paneling and contrasting painted and wallpapered walls, the furnishing is old fashioned and yet still manages to be contemporary, comfortable and practical at the same time.

Lovely gardens and scrummy breakfasts make this a wonderful stay over. Most reviewers say they regret only booking for one or two nights...so stay longer!
