137 guests' feedbackThis was definitely head and shoulders the best ever. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out it was a fantastic stay and the right place for a 70th birthday celebration.
Beautiful tranquil setting with stunning views. Clean, well equipped cottage. Lovely hot tub and bath salts. Well recommended!
This place was absolutely beautiful, what a tranquil setting, the home overlooking the beautiful landscapes of the farm. The place was clean and neat, all fresh linen and well equipped with everything you might need for cooking / braaiing. I loved that the cottages were well spread, so you wouldn't even see your neighbours, it felt like heaven with the mountain landscapes and no disturbances from neighbours while you relax in the hot tub, taking it all in. You would expect a farm stay to have some funny smells and lots of flies, but we have not experienced the unpleasantness of funky smells or flies. I would 110% recommend this place.
What a lovely place. Everything you need. And quietly among the horses.
One of the nicest visits in a farm environment. Very calm.
Unbelievably beautiful place. We will definitely go again with our children and grandchildren.
As advertised. Very neat and well-kept with everything you would need for a relaxing getaway. Beautiful mountain views from the hot tub.
Was very nice yes. Well located and everything you need is there.
We had a lovely, peaceful stay. Saw a beautiful sunset from our stoep. It had everything we needed.
Fabulous stop over to the Garden Route. Beautiful farm, with very clean space with super comfortable bed with great quality linen. Amazing complimentary coffee and rusks were a nice way to start the morning with the family farm Labrador coming to say hi. Definitely a stay for next time.
Great getaway weekend. Quiet and peaceful. Definitely 5 stars for everything!
Lovely little cottages on a spacious farm. We enjoyed the time out from the hustle and bustle, beautiful mountain views, and openness of the farm. The host was very attentive and helpful.
The hostess provided all the necessary information before arrival. The guest book had information galore, including nearby restaurants, activities, and a host of other useful information. The cottage was well-equipped, and a plus was water bowls provided for the pups. We had a wonderful walk to the dam, and my spaniel spent a lot of time swimming. We fed the 2 potbelly pigs and played with the donkey. The garden was a kaleidoscope of colours and well-maintained. If you're looking for a quiet place with your pups, then Hermitage Huisies is the place to be. It's peaceful and yet close enough to head to town for some great food and music.
It was very nice and peaceful, a beautiful place.
Amazing view, cool donkeys.
I had a very nice stay.
It was a pleasant experience to be able to spend the night in such a peaceful rural and farm environment after a long journey. We also went for a walk and the dog made it totally worth it.
Very nice setting. Rooms are very clean.
Lovely place, very quiet area.
Lovely stay, easy check in and felt so welcome. The extra mile is certainly walked here to make your time enjoyable and worthwhile.
Was wonderful and nice and quiet too.
Unit was clean and we had everything we needed, including a plunge pot. The farm could have been neater and the vegetable garden did not have much to offer.
Well-equipped cottage with a beautiful view of the mountains.
This is a hidden gem, my husband and I had a blast. We will definitely visit again soon!
Just a delightful stop over on our way to Knysna. The cottage provided everything we needed in beautiful and peaceful surroundings. Would definitely stay again.
Cottages are very neatly built and maintained. Beautiful farm setting and absolutely pet friendly. Excellent accessories in the cottages and a nice braai area on the stoep overlooking the mountains. Donkeys, sheep and horses roam around in enclosures. An excellent hostess to attend to needs. Would highly recommend the place.
The cottages are well equipped with everything you would need. The animals around you are an extra treat for the children.
Neat place with character. It is close enough, but also far enough from Swellendam.
Neat and tidy. Great location. Very accommodating and friendly. Thanks for the great stay.
Was a great weekend. If you like nature, this is perfect. All I would change is to stay longer. Lovely houses. I would definitely recommend them.
Our family of 6 had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the peaceful scenery. The house is small, but suitable for an overnight stay. We were allowed to stay together at short notice for a small extra charge.
We only stayed one night. Our place was very comfortable and clean. We will definitely stop there again.
The unit had everything we needed. The Hot Tub is a winner. Thank you
We only stayed overnight on our trip but will definitely be back for a longer stay.
Nadia is a star. She is sweet and kind and always helpful. The place itself was beautiful and it had everything we needed. The view is spectacular.
Thanks to the fireplace, the cold rainy weather turned the house into a warm and cozy place. Excellent value for money. Will definitely visit again.
The house was fully equipped and tidy. Nice view, surrounded by nature and still close to town.
Lovely, peaceful getaway.
We loved the cottage and its surroundings and the hostess was charming.
See stars.
Wake up in quiet surroundings, enjoy your freshly ground coffee while chatting to the horses. Pet the friendly dogs during the day and sleep in peace at night. Bugs were surprisingly few. Almost no mosquitos to mention - we mostly kept the lights off. The great little porch with braai and the swimming pool is kept neat and tidy. Water runs great in the lovely, large walk-in shower - everything just works well. We stayed in guinea fowl and loved it. Attention to detail, including a personal welcome message! Thank you for the lovely stay, Nadia!
Loved the isolated location of River Cottage - suited us with our puppy.
See stars.
The room was ready and well prepared upon our arrival. On a cold evening, the fireplace is a welcome addition that soon dissipated the chill. Neatly prepared and in accordance with the photos and description. Not equipped for beurtktag - the emergency light only lasts 30 minutes and there is only one. Overnight guests should rather bring extra battery lights themselves. There is no boiler for the gas stove and the geyser could only provide one shower of hot water. If this can be digested, staying during load shedding can be pleasant.
The only problem I encountered was the fact that we couldn't invite friends (who were in the guest house in town) to come barbecue with us. I specifically chose self-catering because we would like to entertain friends. I only saw after my payment that you are not allowed to invite someone for coffee. I booked 2 cottages there, so I could see my daughter and future son-in-law the Thursday night before the wedding.
You can hear your neighbors talking through the walls, which is not ideal. Our hot tub was on the front porch, and our neighbors had 3 day visitors so couldn't fully enjoy it as they barbequed and socialized late into the night. The unit is neat, but dirty. Found lots of spider nests inside, lampshades look like they haven't been cleaned in a long time and it's dusty inside. Some of the cutlery had old pieces of food on it so overall cleanliness was not too good. The shower does not drain and immediately pools. According to the advertisement, I understood that there was a hiking trail on the farm, but had to use a public road as 'hiking trail'. Overall it was nice but expected better from the ad description.
Feel free to go there - nice walking/jogging/biking routes from there.
Very nice and friendly people.
Ideal overnight stop for us from East to West. Aardvark is fully equipped with everything and more. Good coffee, comfortable bed, hot water, LED light for load shedding and nice glasses for a drink. The attention to finer detail is exceptional - roses next to the bed and name on the door.
See stars.
The accommodation is neat, clean and well fitted out - we even had loads of board games to choose from. We had a great time and enjoyed the occasional visit from the two friendly labradors - Daisy and Petunia. My son enjoyed the pool and the hot tub was a real winner! Feeding the horses was also fun!
Our stay at in the River Cottage was absolutely lovely. The children enjoyed being so close to the animals and everything was in walking distance, such as the pool and park. The hostess provided all the needed information as well as Daisy, the canine hostess, who even escorted us on our walk to the berry picking farm next door. The house was fully kitted with everything we needed and clean. Thank you Nadia.
We stayed here at Hermitage Huisies for the weekend for a wedding at Joubertsdal. It is clear that the River Cottage is actually, as Nadia explained, more suitable for a couple with children (on the sofa bed in the living area), but the sofa bed is just as comfortable as the bed and provided a great night's rest. All the necessary self-catering facilities are there, the view is beautiful and we walked from the cottage to the Swellendam dam on the first morning. The sink makes gurgling noises when the toilet is flushed and the shower doesn't drain very quickly, but it wasn't a problem at all - just something to watch out for. The WiFi also didn't want to connect, probably because of the terrible load shedding, but we didn't miss it terribly. If we had stayed longer and the weather allowed it, we would definitely have used the fireplace and the braai outside. Just a nice, cuddly, well-equipped unit in a nice setting. Recommended!
Environment beautiful. Cottage very comfortable.
The "hot-pot" was the icing on the cake for us. We had a nice view of the pond and although the weekend was very cold, he made it feel like summer very quickly! The house is very nice and clean and has everything one would need. The owners were also very friendly and make you feel very trustworthy with their "honesty jar". I would definitely like to spend a weekend at the Hermitage Huisies again!
I highly recommend Hermitage Huisies, had a wonderful stay there. Thank you very much!
Very clean and comfortable. Beautiful garden and it was great to see the horses.
We stayed in Aardvark's burrow and it was a lovely unit with comfortable and attractive furnishings and a small but well-equipped kitchen nook (induction hotplate, microwave, toaster, kettle and plenty of cooking utensils and crockery. ) There is a private patio undercover with a great built-in braai. The units are on a large property with a communal swimming pool and lapa area with a stunning mountain view. Hermitage Huisies is located on a quiet but well-maintained gravel road very near Marloth Nature Reserve with plenty of options for hikes, trail runs or mountain biking. Swellendam is a quaint and historic town and we attended a local market on Saturday morning for some great coffee and breakfast options. Overall, a super weekend breakaway. We would definitely stay again.
Good value for money. Bring carrots for the horses.
Very comfortable, clean and had everyrhing we needed.
The cottage and location are fantastic. The detail of the hostess Nadia is great and communication very good. Favorite place by the mountains. You will definitely see me again. Thank you for a classy stay.
We had a wonderful stay. Loved the scenery, the dogs and the horses. The hot pot was also really awesome.
We spent the night in River Cottage. Very quiet and peaceful. Really enjoyed the horses and countryside.
Thank you very much, we had a really nice stay. If neat and clean. Next time we will stay longer. Daisy also made us feel very welcome. You live in a beautiful place for sure.
I personally think that the Hermitage Cottages are overrated especially considering that you have to pay R1050 per night for them. The pictures of the inside of the house are still exactly the same, but the outside is definitely not. This tells me that the equipment is probably easily between 7 and 10 years old. It was extremely hot, but the fans were working, but for some reason no wind was coming through. The garden was untidy and this contributed to our first impressions of the place. Little things like blunt scissors, diluted dish soap and hand soap in the bathroom are always a negative point.
A peaceful break away from the busy city life. The location is easily accessible.
Bathroom - shower and sink blocked, as well as toilet. Kitchen drain leaking outside and full of funny little worms, due to dampness.
On solo road trip, rest sought and found.
Perfect location to reboot.
The peace and quiet that the farm offers is something on another level. We were greeted with great enthusiasm by Daisy. We stayed in the river cottage and was equipped with everything that we needed. I think the kids enjoyed the stay more then us. Would recommend this piece of heaven every day of the week. We will definitely be back again.
Best bed you can sleep in. Wine, gin and braai wood all that you can buy extra to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Location of the farm is incredibly beautiful. Pool or Hotpot (Jacuzzi).
We loved the peace and quiet and incredible mountain views from Rose Cottage. The hot tub is worth budgeting for (you rent it separately and get exclusive use). We slept really well thanks to the silence and darkness. The little cottage is absolutely charming - clean and tidy with everything you need for a country break - plus some delightful extras. We so appreciated the profiling of the excellent local wines and jams.
I've always wanted a horse or 2 on my "front porch"! Our little girl enjoyed the freedom, riding a bike, talking to the horses and rubbing them. She also made friends with the 2 friendly dogs on the farm. Light a fire and sit on the porch with your coffee in hand and eyes on the breathtaking mountain ranges. Breathe, shake off the hustle and bustle of life and just be! Old or young, this is soul food.
Private. Safe and quiet.
Very well furnished, everything was perfect.
The house is very nice clean and comfortable. Each cottage has a braai area and an equipped kitchen. The pool and lapa were a winner! Will definitely go back.
We felt so at home and really appreciated the many extras - from the pretty flowers, the dog biscuits for the brats and more!
I can definitely recommend staying here. Friendly hostess and ideally located.
For a break to the silence, I would recommend it to anyone to go and clear your head.
Good service. Beautiful garden, surrounded by mountains. The berry farm next door makes for a nice outing.
It was our last weekend away alone before baby joined us. Beautiful, peaceful, perfect getaway. We will definitely come here again.
Lovely, personal notes on arrival. Coffee and tea was provided and lovely hand and body wash was great value for money. Peace surroundings.
Cottages are very well equipped and offer everything you could need, from insect repellent to board games etc. Little things that matter. If very neat. Staff very professional and friendly.
Had nice walks with my dogs. The farm also had a very friendly labrador, Daisy, who kept us company.
Peaceful and quiet with nice little surprises awaiting the guests. Especially enjoyed the view of the mountains and the farm animals. Hiking trails and long walks would have been idyllic.
It's a nice place to stay, with a farm atmosphere. The location is nice and close to Swellendam.
We stayed in Rose Cottage for 5 nights. The cottage is beautiful and although small, it is full of character and has everything we needed. It is well equipped and the beds are very comfortable. The view is incredible. We were welcomed with fresh roses and berries. Nadia is very friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful stay and would love to come back again. For a quiet place outside the town, I can highly recommend Hermitage cottages.
If you want tranquility and simplicity but quality this is the place. Wow. My sister and I stayed in the Aardvark Cottage. Every element was thought about. The beds are made for heavenly sleeps. Peace and quiet all around and lovely walks. We loved every minute.
The Gin and meat is a must.
It's the little things that make a visit pleasant. Who wouldn't say thank you for homemade biscuits, good coffee/tea and some of the area's best wines? The Aardvark house is nice and cozy with everything you need. We had a lovely time on the veranda which offers views of the beautiful mountains and animals. Could also have a nice walk around the farm - it's quiet and peaceful.
We had such a wonderful stay in the Rose house, right next to the pond, with the most beautiful view of the farm and mountains. Everything in the house is wonderfully equipped, it was very cold but the fireplace, small heaters and delicious bedding kept us warm. The surrounding area is so beautiful, we had a nice bike ride and came to the most beautiful dam. The Marloth Nature Reserve is also around the corner and the village is close should you need something at the shop. Will definitely visit again!
Nadia looks at every detail. Small and big, very special.
We really enjoyed our break in the River Cottage! The house is furnished with everything you need and spotlessly clean. Checking in and out was easy and the service we received was always very friendly and hospitable. There are many places in the area to explore if you feel like it, but it's just as nice to stay quietly on the farm and enjoy the scenery. We hit cold weather and spent the evening cozying up in front of the fireplace and playing games.
I was in Swellendam for work/business for the day. It was a long, exhausting day, but it was wonderful to be able to check into the cottage in the peaceful and beautiful surroundings. It was great to sit on the porch, enjoy a glass of wine, watch the sunset and just relax. Almost like a day's vacation captured in one evening. The cottage was very well equipped. There was everything (and more) I needed to prepare a quick meal. Everything is very well maintained, very clean with very comfortable sleeping place. It was almost a shame to have to hit the road back home so early the next morning to tackle the rest of the work week. I would love to go back for a nice relaxing weekend!
We had a nice stay with you. Rich in nature and very beautiful place.
Excellent accommodation, well equipped, clean in a beautiful setting!
Spent 7 nights here in the Rose Cottage. Had everything I needed and more. Best place to recharge your batteries. Hostess made the stay worthwhile and it's value for money.
Such a lovely place, very relaxing and amazing with the horses around. The cottage was perfectly clean, with everything we needed and more. We loved our stay and would definitely be back.
Neat, close to everything, close to hiking trails, quiet. Everything one needs. Ten out of ten. We went for a walk at the Marloth Nature Reserve. Near Swellendam. I think it must be great to stay there in the summer with the pool close to the cottages.
Houses are stunning. Peaceful area. Beautiful views. Just what we needed.
A home away from home, kids can explore, swim and just be kids. We would recommend Hermitage Huisies for anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away.
Very nice stay in a quiet and safe environment with a real farm atmosphere.
We had a great stay, thank you, Nadia.
We had a great stay and it was neat. The children enjoyed the farm life and it was so nice to swim with the view of the mountains.
We really enjoyed our stay in Swellendam and accommodation at Hermitage Huisies. The house was very clean and very well equipped. We also had access to braai facilities beneath the lapa. Will definitely go back. Thank you to the Zaaymans for your hospitality.
It is a very clean, comfortable cottage with the most beautiful surrounding scenery. We really felt rested after the weekend's stay.
Neat with all the necessary. The free wood and biscuits are much appreciated. Beautiful nature from the porch. Close to all amenities.
Very neat and perfect for 3 adults and 2 small children (please note no bath but this was not a problem for us). Kitchen had everything we needed. Very nice view of the mountains, nice swimming pool and animals for the children to look at.
Quiet and peaceful. Well equipped for two people, sunny veranda to sit and read. Cozy to sit there and grill. Close to beautiful hiking trails.
Nice and peaceful. Neat and clean. We will be back.
The cottages are perfectly located for a good break from the city rush. The house is well equipped and has everything you need.
Hermitage Cottages are in a very idyllic getaway destination. Located near the beautiful mountains, with horses, wide open spaces, one can really escape the narrowness of the city. The constellation at night is also breathtaking.
There is only made provision for 2 adults and 2 children and not 4 adults. There is only seating for 2 people in the lounge and 2 on the veranda. 2 mattresses on the single bed are hard and very thin. The grass and garden on the premises were untidy and overgrown. The sponge at the basin was dirty and overused. Houses are closes to the highway - no safety for motors. No path to the swimming pool - it's between the overgrown grass.
Very neat unit, the ground coffee beans and biscuits a bonus!
Nice place, clean and tidy, beautiful view of the mountain, horses quietly grazing, guinea fowl crying in the distance. True farm atmosphere without being on a farm, but still outside of town. It started to rain the evening we stayed over and the waterfalls that formed in the mountains were of course a big bonus for me. One could see them sparkle through the mist.
Beautiful surroundings, beautiful!
We only stayed overnight but had a lovely stay. Our children enjoyed the natural beauty and interacting with the horses. Comfortable accommodation in well equipped cottages.
We really enjoyed it. The swimming pool was a plus! Everything is neat and the bedding was simply the best.
Stayed in Rose Cottage which was spacious enough for all of us to have a good time together. Good location from which to participate in the Swellendam Park Run, you can almost walk there. Very close to the town and next to the berry farm, so we were able to buy food speedily without it feeling like a mission. Yet the location is such that you still feel far enough away from town.
We really enjoyed the stay. The house is well appointed and the nature is breathtaking. You would think you're in paradise. Owners immediately respondend to our requests. Will definitely stay there again. Thanks so much.
We had a lovely stay at Aardvark's Burrow. The area is beautiful and the house didn't come short of anything.
What an absolute pleasure it has been staying at River Cottage. We truly enjoyed every moment and found the place very comfortable, clean and well priced. I particularly enjoyed the wonderful scenery and just the peaceful location of the farm. We definitely already set our minds on returning soon. Keep up the amazing work!
Beautiful place in very pretty area. The peacefulness and natural beauty makes the visit worth it.
Wow, what a great place. We spent the night at River Cottage. It was wonderful to look at the horses and guinea-fowls in the area behind the house. We had a visit form a big frog in the early evening, but he didn't want to stay. The place is very neat and the facilities are excellent. The bed is very nice! It was our first visit to this part of the country and Carina and I will definitely visit again and stay at Hermitage Huisies. Thank you Nadia, your place is special!
It was a wonderful feeling to experience the freshness of nature. Would love to go back again. The cottage was beautiful and terribly tidy. Thank you very much!
The cottages are very neat and so much effort has been made, small things like roses that were next to the bed, biscuits in a small container that were filled every now and then and a braai was specially arranged for us so that we could sit at the front of the cottage could braai, my parents can't see well in the dark. I would definitely recommend these cottages. The Zaaymans are incredibly warm people. Thank you very much.
Very nice accommodation. Everything neat and the place is safe.
Owners friendly and hospitable. The accommodation and the equipment at our disposal far exceeded our expectations. Although self-catering, it felt like 5-star accommodation. lovely, we will definitely go there again and highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the scenery and farm life.
Our time at Hermitage Huisies was just so nice. We enjoyed it a lot. It is just perfect!
Thanks for a wonderful overnight stay at Aardvark. Your warm reception, the pleasure of watching the sun's last rays against the Langeberg Mountains from our stoep with coffee and rusts and the sitting and daydreaming while a sausage is chatting to the coals recharged our batteries for the new term. We wish you well for the future of your establishment. There are very few places that can compete with your neat houses, lovely environment and reasonable price.
Very peaceful. Enjoyed the stay. Will do it again!
Peaceful environment, horses in the surrounding camps were very special. Just a 5 minute drive from Swellendam. Filter coffee, rusks and wood were a pleasant surprise. Best value.
Here we experienced life on a farm with beautiful views of the mountain, the animals, etc. The braai on the open veranda will work very well during summer, but it might be a good idea to have shaded netting to roll down during winter to make it less exposed. Some braai tongs would also be nice. The bed and mattress, the duvet and the pillows all allowed for a good night's rest. The bathroom was very spacious with a big shower. In winter the couch and coffee table might work better inside rather than outside. The unit was very clean and neat. We really noticed that and Lucia said more than once: "I want to stay here again." The photo collection showing the history of the farm, especially the old black and white photos on the wall are very popular among tourists these days. A map of the surrounding area with walking trails, attractions and other activities would also be very popular. But one can see you went to a lot of trouble with the book.
