70 guests' feedbackI'm definitely saving this one on Google Maps. Farmstay. Beautiful mountain views. Everything you need. Close to Swellendam. Don't look for (Die Skaapkraal) when navigating. Die Skaapkraal is actually just the name on the cottage on the farm. A little confusing but the provided pin location did take us almost to the front door.
It was really a very very cute place with the most beautiful view. Will definitely stay there again.
It was very good. Accommodation provides everything needed. Location is fantastic.
Great. Loved the scenery and the sense of exclusivity.
It's the most amazing place ever! You only see the views from the cottage in magazines! We had a very nice stay. Spacious and very clean house.
Nice location, cottage well equipped, good WiFi. Load shedding lamps available.
Bed in master bedroom is uncomfortable. It cracks with every turn.
It was an experience to see the beautiful mountain, white storks and other birds, the cows also very beautiful with their soft eyes, eyelashes and black noses! Also the heat when we make a fire in the open hearth when it's cold outside! We had a great stay!
It was delicious and as described.
A wonderful setting to enjoy Christmas. All the comforts. Lovely walks and a bit of bass fishing. Setting is amazing.
Thank you Sazann for your hospitality. We had a great time. Perfect midway visit with parents.
We enjoyed it very much. It is very nice, clean and tidy accommodation. Will stay there again anytime. When it is load shedding, one cannot take a shower, because the pump that works with electricity to pressurize the water does not work. That's all that was a problem. The kitchen also has everything you need. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!
Nice and quiet, exactly what we needed, nice view of the mountains. Will definitely visit again.
The environment and the place to stay create a wonderful opportunity to relax and create special memories.
Such a comfortable space and beautiful view. Was so relaxing would like to come back and stay for longer to explore the farm a bit more. My 2 year old loved the cows and trackers!
Will use facility again.
Definitely a good option to relax and explore the surroundings. The cottage is well equipped although there are a few things that need maintenance (lights and broken bottle openers). The farm is excellently located near Swellendam and on the main road to other towns in the area. The view from the porch and privacy are big pluses.
Appelsbosch Farm Cottage is a hauntingly beautiful place. The Melkstal is wonderfully large with enough space for a whole family (we plan to take our children with us in the summer!). It is only a few kilometers drive to all the places we wanted to visit. It is so quiet and peaceful on the farm with the most beautiful sunrises and we rested well. We made use of the indoor braai and the WiFi and Neflix were a bonus! We will definitely visit Appelsbosch Guest Farm again.
Beautiful house, well equipped, most beautiful view. Suggest aircon/splashpool. Get boiling hot.
If you want to kick off your shoes and sit on the porch with a cup of coffee, and stare at the mountains and forest, here you can. The beautiful sounds of the animals living in the forest are something to keep your ears perked up for. Fresh air, green fields and silence!
Een van die beste plekke ooit.
The environment and activities for a family are so many. It was a lovely getaway for a weekend. We were there too short to do everything in the town and surrounding area. Come for a longer visit next time.
Lovely place with everything we needed.
Perfect - great place and would stay again.
Beautifully located near the mountains of Swellendam with amazing views. Well suited for a family holiday.
The accommodation is basic but stylish. Location on a working dairy farm with fantastic views of the Swellendamberge. Nice porch and comfortable furniture, inside fireplace etc. Nice place for children with bikes and lawns with lots of play space.
The view was amazing, definitely an accommodation with a lot of walking trails.
We only stayed here for one night as our first stop on our honeymoon. It is a beautiful, peaceful place with a wonderful view. We regret we could not spend more time here.
See stars.
I'd strongly recommend this.
Hospitably received with a delicious fresh bun on the kitchen table, very tidy and everything we needed after a very long journey on the road.
We had a wonderful stay, but on Saturday night when we wanted to take a shower there was not a drop of water. The men tried to look at the tank to see what the problem was but could not find anything. We just wiped it off and went to sleep hoping it would be fine the next morning but still there was no drop of water. After a while it seemed that the cold water came through at least faintly but not a drop of hot water. They will have to have future guests look at the water for sure - it was very inconvenient. Luckily we only stayed one night and the men went swimming with my uncle on Sunday. Otherwise, the stay was very nice, clean and tidy. However, we had to leave the dishes like that on Sunday due to the fact that there was no water - Sorry!
A perfect setting for a peaceful weekend enjoying mountain views and having long walks on the farm. Thanks for the fresh bread Suzann, and the very neat and clean cottage! We and our friends from Mauritius enjoyed it thoroughly!
It's incredibly beautiful there. Neat and very safe.
Wonderful stay on a peaceful, neat, clean farm atmosphere! Welcome sandwich with farm butter and jam was delicious. Unit very well equipped, can recommend anytime!
Beautiful place, family friendly and hospitable.
It was very nice to be able to spend the night here. So typical farm with a great view.
Beautiful, very well equipped and comfortable little apartment, everything was neat and clean. Beautiful farm setting.
We had a very peaceful stay and a wonderfully clean and neat establishment. We have already recommended the place to family and friends.
Was a good stay. Would recommend it.
We were a family of 10 and we all stayed comfortably together. The dirt road wasn't bad, just very rocky and not really meant for a small/luxury car.
We really enjoyed our stay and it really is a fairytale beautiful setting. I don't think the kitchen is quite adequate for self catering, but it was quite adequate for 2 people for a couple of nights. The rooms are very neat and it is close enough to the town. Will definitely recommend it to others.

Very nice place to stay. Large dairy farm. Very neat and clean. The bun that Carina baked was a winner, as was the delicious jam. Recommend the place!
It was really pleasant. The reception was warm, the accommodation was neat and well equipped, the view is lovely, the walk in the field towards the mountain is truly something special. The cows and dairy were a great source of fascination, especially for the children. The visits around the kitchen table next to the built-in braai were unforgettable. Would definitely recommend Appelsbosch.
A beautiful farm, comfortable and pretty cottage and considerate host Carina.
Lovely, relaxed farm atmosphere. Top notch hospitality. Most beautiful setting with beautiful sunrise and sunset. Highly recommend.
Carina carried a table into the front room for us instead of the second bed which turned it into a nice living room.
Appelsbosch is exactly what we all needed to relax and just be with each other. It is food for the soul!
Appelsbosch is a beautiful, green place. Quiet and peaceful. Very neat and attention to detail. I really appreciated the bunch of fresh flowers in our room. I will definitely stay there again.
Appelsbosch is a hidden gem. The place has a real farm feel - the smell, the location and the sounds. The place exceeded our expectations. On arrival we also received a home-baked farm sandwich, wrapped in a cloth and placed in a basket with jam. The whole experience was so unique and special. Exactly what we needed. I would definitely recommend the place and visit again.
Wonderful stay in the cottage at Appelsbosch. Breathtaking location. Just simply wonderful!
House is ideally located. Beautiful in nature, yet close to Swellendam. Ideal for large group like us or a family or smaller group. Owner very friendly and helpful.
Very neat. Kitchen and dining area very small. Definitely won't be able to handle 4 people.
It feels like you are part of nature.
We received a friendly welcome and felt at home from the minute we arrived. The beds were warm and comfortable and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. We loved the card and board games made available for the evenings around the large kitchen table.
Had a wonderful holiday with our family. The accommodation was clean and perfect for a family with young children. The views and peacefulness are incredible. Will definitely return!
Our stay was most enjoyable. We found it to be very comfortable.....well equipped. We so enjoyed the delivery of hot "yummy" bread and apricot jam. Our hosts were very friendly and informative. We also enjoyed watching the "working dairy farm"......just what we needed.....Thank you so much.
We received a warm friendly welcome. Loved this working dairy farm surrounded by the mountains, so peaceful.
Beautiful view, tasteful apartment and the owner is very helpful and friendly. I have no complaints!
A very short weekend visit, but a lovely break. Just bring your own food and clothes - everything else is there!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Appelsbosch, and will surely recommend it to others. Friendly reception and welcome was received. Crisp fresh bedding and a tranquil farm atmosphere provided the best of both worlds! Congrats!
What a lovely experience, when we arrived the hostess arrived with freshly baked bread and jam; the reception is really cordial and warm; it's a working farm, so they are always there and at hand if the guests need anything. Lynelle (Meiring) and I really enjoyed it; we needed to get away from our respective areas just to catch our breath and recharge for the week ahead. The surroundings are as beautiful as a picture, the cottage is fully equipped, neat, clean, nicely furnished; I can really recommend the place; I already referred another friend by the way; hope she gets out of there! Keep it up Carina and JJ; you have a winning recipe; next time we stay longer and catch a fish in the pond.

We found the accommodation very clean, beautiful, beautiful and tasteful. The service was good, and the owner very friendly and helpful.
With 3 children under 5, the farm was a winner! Milked calves, watched chickens and lambs and had a nice walk. The cottage is spotlessly clean with a lovely shower. Very neat. Friendly service by the owners. Very good location - very close to Swellendam.
We immediately felt at home in a beautiful room/apartment with fresh proteas greeting us. A nice walk around the farm and the recommendations of where to go for a visit really contributed to an incredible holiday.
Will definitely use the facility again.
