This was an interesting and quite unique place to stay and a lot of thought had obviously gone into making it that way. The walls and floors had a cement like rustic style in order to create an African feel and many pictures and ornaments were in keeping with this African theme. However, an unusual contrast was the number of Persian rugs scattered about and these gave it additional warmth and that extra taste of luxury. The highlight for us was waking up to the wonderful mountain view from our window after the previous rainy and misty day. Our room, Clock Peaks, was bright comfortable and well equipped and the spacious shower was tops.Thank you Patrick (and dogs) for making us feel at home and for the scrumptious breakfast that set us up for the long day's drive ahead. We do hope to return for longer next time.

Great place to stay for a night. B&B is in walking distance to Town and restaurants. We enjoyed our swim in the pool with a great mountain view. The host is great and serves a great breakfast. The bed was comfortable and clean.

Great location, just off the N2 in a quiet residential street but within walking distance to several restaurants. Comfortable room, great bed and shower. Patrick and Gray were perfect hosts. Patrick was a mine of information, both locally for a great hike and future holiday options. Lovely breakfast on the patio overlooking the mountain view. Perfect!

From arrival to departure a homey feel was abundant. The room was adequate for the night and the pool, common dining and sitting room were comfortable, social, and a pleasure. The hosts were friendly and solicitous to one's every need.

On our trip though South Africa, we stopped for one night at the View, Swellendam. The B&B is wonderful, we had a big room (King Size Bed), Bath with a view (not seeable from the outside).The house has a pool and a Sundeck which is also perfect for viewing the stars. Restaurants are less than 5 Minutes away, Swellendam is very beautiful and has a lot of history - which Patrick and Claire can tell you a lot about. Also the breakfast ist lovely. We had a great stay and learned a lot about South African History as well. Nearby ist the Bontebok Park which is a must see.

This location was great & easy to find, the very first left as you get in from Plett/Knysna-side. My room was very comfy, spacious, lovely decor and style, enjoyed the heated blanket. There was a bit of noise in the morning from the kitchen which woke me up unfortunately, the TV didn't work when I tried to conceal the noise however the owner was friendly and helpful and also allowed me to stay an extra hour to sleep-in, that was very kind. He also offered a later time for breakfast.

I enjoyed the hospitality and the comfort at the Swellendam very much. Everything was just perfect, from the room, accessoires (Netflix) and the super comfi bed. Also the breakfast the next morning at the fireplace with the two nice dogs around! :)

Fantastic accommodation in beautiful surroundings - excellent bed, breakfast and facilities and Patrick was a great source of information regarding routes to follow on my road trip. The area around Swellendam is very scenic - mountains, forests, lovely villages - and not too far from the largest astronomy telescope, SALT, in the southern hemisphere, in Sutherland.
