33 guests' feedbackLovely place, neat and tidy.
We had a really nice stay. Everything was so nice and tidy and available, beyond our expectations. Even our 4 year old was able to be comfortable and play inside and outside. We will definitely use Pajama Donkie again and hopefully stay longer!
Very neat, beautiful place. With everything you need. Had a wonderful stay.
What an amazing place to stay! We had a great stay at Pajama Donkie, will definitely make a visit here again if we are in the area. Tannie Sarette goes out of her way to make you feel welcome, filter coffee, milk and yogurt in the fridge and makes the visit extra nice!
The service was great! When we arrived there were sweets for the children and chocolates for the adults - you should have seen the smiles on the children's faces! was friendly and very helpful. We felt at ease upon arrival. The cottage was very comfortable - everything was there. It rained during our stay, but we were snuggled up and quite happy just listening to the rain. The bed was heavenly!
Thank you very much for an incredible visit, a very nice stay and such a beautiful environment. Everything was top quality, from arrival to departure. The detail in the places testifies to the phenomenal hostess. The treats in every room and fridge, good coffee and delicate hand of a woman just put it in another class. Thank you very much.
Lovely accommodation with a beautiful view and a peaceful, quiet environment with an extremely convenient location close to delicious restaurants and beautiful nature walks. The place was very clean and tidy with very comfortable beds and enough warm blankets. Absolutely perfect!
Very nice stay. The hostess has her hand on the spot. Little things like a sturdy hair dryer and mirror in the right place. We only stayed over but would stay there again.
It was a short visit. The unit met all our needs and was very clean and tidy. The front porch was lovely to enjoy our coffee with while watching the birds in the beautiful garden.
We had a lovely stay at the Pajama Donkie and will definitely stay there again. Lourens and Sarette were welcoming and friendly hosts. The cottage is charming and is in a lovely garden setting. We also felt safe and secure. The kitchen needs a special mention: spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed - the best I have ever seen at a guest house!
Indeed, this donkey is a wonderful thing! If you are someone who likes simplicity, beauty and a house with heart, this small cottage, surrounded by the most beautiful garden, will make you so happy. Our family of 4 recently had to find a place to stay for one night on Swellendam. How grateful I am that the doors of Pajama Donkie opened for us - and how sorry we were not to have arrived earlier in the day! The warmth made us feel at home as soon as we stepped in. The attention to detail immediately reveals something of a hostess with a thoughtful and caring heart: for me and my husband there was a welcome chocolate on the bedside table, for our 2 children each an Easter egg. There were illegally-delicious biscuits in the jar, fresh milk & strawberry jam in the fridge - and in the bathroom, even face cloths for removing make-up. Als was fresh, spotless, neat and just lovely - a place that testifies to pampering. Even the pull-out couch in the living area on which the little ones (3yrs. and 9yrs.) slept was of super-quality - everything except that often hollow-backed sleeper that we've all had to face somewhere along the way. After unpacking, being able to relax with a coffee on the front porch with a view of the mountains that tower over here according to your big toe was a breath of fresh air for the soul. In the late afternoon we went for a walk - blissful! Literally a cat's pee down the road you walk through a lane of beautiful trees, over a babbling river. The children, tired from a long drive, could explore barefoot and us adults could feel how our long-distance nerves just say '…'. A few steps further, and you run into a big surprise: the most beautiful horse farm. 'Breathtaking' may sound like an icing sugar word, but that's what it was! In this Pajama Donkey's stylish, fantastically equipped stable, any traveler can come and saddle up with great joy. We would love to come again!
Spacious and comfortable accommodation. Very neat and clean. A lot of attention to finer details such as e.g. a coffee machine with a supply of ground coffee beans available for guests.
Quiet surroundings, nice view and all the necessary facilities.
We had an incredibly nice stay. We were kindly received at an extremely stylish and neat residential unit. A lot of attention has been paid to detail. We were provided with everything we needed to barbecue. It was just damn nice. Few hosts receive and see you off. And the coffee was damn good.
It's the best place I've ever stayed and I travel a lot!
Very nice stay - close to everything and friendly people.
Lovely place with beautiful decor and attention to detail! It has everything one could need for a lovely stay and I think it offers excellent value for money. It's on the side of the town on the mountain side, so it's nice and peaceful and very beautiful. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly, and we really enjoyed our time there.
This was an excellent choice. The unit was even better than it looked on the website. It's tastefully furnished and everything we could need (and more) was available in terms of equipment, etc. Everything was perfect and the owners were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone without a second thought.
What more do you need for a heavenly vacation? The most beautiful cottage with an exceptional view of the mountains and everything you may need for a self-catering holiday in Swellendam. We will be able to forget about the hectic world around us for a week here. Thank you for your hospitality and referral to the best restaurants.
Only stayed one night for a sporting event, but really value for money and the cleanliness of the cottage was amazing. The owners also went out of their way after we forgot 2 items in the cottage. I will for sure recommend to friends or stay there again in the future.
Absolutely awesome, peaceful place to stay and even though we stopped for one night, it was really a clean place and neat.
Excellent and exceptionally friendly. I still have to pay the balance of R350.
We had everything we needed, along with very generous 'gifts' as you enter. Lovely!
My mother and I enjoyed a weekend here. Such a beautiful and peaceful space to enjoy. It's better than the pictures. There was even milk in the fridge for a cup of tea after a long journey. It was 36°C and felt like air conditioning inside the cottage. We will be back! Thank you.
Beautiful one-bedroom garden apartment with everything needed for the stay. Friendly host and hostess standing by to help where needed.
We were so happy with our cottage and the service. It was a lovely few days and would definitely recommend it to anyone!
The unit is beautiful with attention to the smallest detail which makes the stay very special. Flowers from the most beautiful garden and chocolates on the bed are one of the nice treats. The unit is comfortable, spacious and spotlessly clean with lovely linen and beds. Secure parking was a big plus. The unit is also completely secluded and very private. We will definitely be back again.
We stayed at Pajama Donkie for 2 nights. We couldn't have had a nicer stay! Lourens and Sarette are wonderful hosts and hostesses. The outdoor shower was a surprise and a bonus, and the kids really enjoyed the garden.
The attention to detail is beyond amazing! Such a beautiful spot.
Pajama Donkey was lovely to stay in. Beautifully located and so peaceful and quiet. Place is very nicely furnished and very tidy. Sarette and Lourens are incredibly friendly people! We would go back any day!
Danie and I love Pajama Donkie as overnight accommodation. We will definitely stay there again, it's 5 star quality. Swellendam is also a beautiful village.
