63 guests' feedbackWhat a big surprise the weekend had been. We stayed in the lodge room and it exceeded all our expectations. It was clean and very tastefully furnished. Everything was in place. We were received very kindly by the owner. The room was ready with lovely soothing music, the heater was on to make the room nice and warm, as well as the electric blanket on the bed. The food was of the best quality. Delicious farm food. The only negative comment was that the weekend flew by too quickly. We could definitely do with a few more days! It was definitely worthwhile and value for money. We look forward to our next visit.
Was fantastic. Thanks for the arrangement. Salute.
The customer service was wonderful and his welcome makes you to be at ease and enjoy your stay.
Swan Lake is an excellent getaway where my wife and I could just relax and "recharge". We stayed two nights so we could have a full day just to rest, and it was exactly what we needed.
So calming, quiet, and breathtakingly beautiful. The perfect place to get away from the city and refresh your soul! Incredible place! Peaceful, relaxing. Watching swans glide upon the water is incredibly calming. Very romantic, cosy place.
It was amazing! We couldn't have asked for better! This is a gem close to the city. Thank you very much for the beautiful, clean accommodation. Thanks to the host who carried us on his hands, with the most delicious breakfast! The cabin was cuddly warm and the swans were an absolute delight. Thank you very much!
Very nice, especially if you like nature. Lots of birdlife, along with the swans of course. The swans are pretty tame and just make you calm when they float through the water like that. Friendly host.
The host was very helpful.
Swan Lake's cabin is a nice place to stay for a few nights. However, the room in the house is not private.
Pleasantly surprised by the tranquil setting. The friendly reception by our host John was refreshing and the delicious breakfast served at our convenience was truly wonderful. Will certainly return.
Swan-lake is a breathtaking piece of diamond, offering incredible rest for the soul. I would recommend the place to anyone and would definitely go there again myself!
Swan-lake: The picture-perfect paradise. Where ifs just going to stand still. When we opened the door and looked through the beautiful room at the "lake" and at that moment the two white swans swam towards us I knew it was the best gift (break) I could give my princess. Thank you, John.
Very nice place, peaceful with only the bird sounds to listen to and John goes out of his way to make you feel even more comfortable and relaxed. Great weekend, sorry when we had to go back home.
The unit overlooking the water was the perfect weekend getaway to commemorate our wedding day. The nature was beautiful and we really enjoyed sitting on the "deck" while listening to the many bird sounds and watching the swans. The service was great and we really enjoyed the breakfast every morning. The owner was very friendly and had no problem accommodating any of our requests. I can confidently recommend Swan Lake to anyone.
The nature around the cabin means that you can switch off, even with a busy program. Breakfast on the deck early in the morning is the best, followed by the late night coffee while watching the moon over the water.
The host went out of his way to make sure I got there safely. Beautiful garden with lake and beautiful swans. Delicious breakfast with a view of the lake included in the price. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, the location is ideal.
Swan Lake is located a short distance outside Bloenfontien on a smallholding. There really is a lake and swans! We had a great stay in the Lodge room which consists of a room with access to a living area, reception area and braai facilities.
Very comfy bed with decent bedding, delicious breakfast to be enjoyed overlooking the charming swan-lake. Was very pleased to be met by the host John and his 3 charming swans. A stay that I will treasure for ever.
My daughter and I had a great time at Swan Lake Cabin. Would love to stay another week and enjoy the quiet. Could sit on the porch for a long time and watch for the swans. It was cozy warm inside, despite freezing temperatures outside. Thanks John, you set it up so comfortably.
Swan Lake was definitely the best place we have ever slept. John couldn't do enough for us. The large breakfast that was brought to our cabin every morning was very convenient and particularly tasty. It is so peaceful and we really enjoyed the swans we could feed. The cabin is very well equipped and if you were looking for something it was there. One can see the cabin was built with love and carefully furnished. John is a great host and we would definitely like to stay there again and recommend it to everyone. If you want peace and quiet, want to be pampered and value for money Swan Lake is the place to go.
Thank you very, very much. We stayed in the cleanest cabin with the most beautiful view. John, the host, was very friendly and hospitable. The swans came to visit often. Our breakfast was delicious and delivered to the cabin in the mornings. It's the most peaceful atmosphere. I can really recommend Swan-Lake Cabin. It really is a piece of paradise. Will definitely book there again.
We could switch off nicely. The host is very friendly and the breakfast was delicious. And the swans are so beautiful and make people feel peaceful. I would recommend it to anyone.
The atmosphere is very relaxing and calming. Ideal break away from busy city life. Interaction with bird life amazing. Scrumptious breakfast served.
Swan-Lake Cabin is the perfect getaway from busy city life! We relaxed and recharged, our next stay will be for more than just 2 days for sure. John is a wonderful host and the breakfast is top notch. Everything here is perfect, just perfect.
Would definitely recommend Swan Lake it was an experience. Will definitely go back there.
It's far enough out of the city to experience peace and quiet, yet close enough to drive in for a nice meal. Well equipped enough to have a nice quiet barbecue on the stoep. Delicious breakfast served every morning at cottage. Fairly priced.
Very nice stay. Would recommend anytime. Will definitely stay there again.
Picturesque, beautiful, just so special! We were kindly received by John. Great to sit on the stoep and enjoy the peace and swans that come to say hello! Next morning, breakfast was served to us in the cottage. Very nice! We yes! The lights in the evening turned everything into a fun night! Would definitely recommend the place! Thank you very much!
We enjoyed it very much. Our host was very friendly.
Very nice, neat place! There is everything you need. Beautiful.
Wonderful stay. It's incredibly beautiful and peaceful. John and his wife are very friendly and hospitable. Just what we needed.
Found this little gem of a place. Close to airport. A few minutes drive from CBD. Cleanest guesthouse that I have stayed at. Great breakfast. Next to lake with family of swans. Was just incredible. Can definitely recommend.
The accommodation is "out of this world" - elegant and fairytale-like! We had a great time relaxing from the moment we landed there to the moment we left. With the beautiful atmosphere, one of the highlights is being able to feed the swans and they often come to say hello and frolic right in front of the "cabin". We're not even talking about the incredibly delicious breakfast and the hospitality, it leaves one with no choice but to just feel at home and enjoy every moment. The getaway weekend was for sure one of our highlight getaway weekends and we will definitely "treasure" the weekend in our hearts forever. We hope to be able to visit Swan-lake Cabin again one day in the future.
'n Ware juweel, weg van die stad se geraas, maar tog naby genoeg om gou in te glip stad toe. John en Maryke is wonderlike gashere wat 'n passie het vir wat hulle doen. Swan-Lake Cabin is snoesig ingerig met alles wat ons kon nodig hê. Die voëllewe ronom die houthuis was asemrowend. Ons het ons verkyk aan die vinke se gebou en breek aan hulle nessies. En dan die swane met hulle kleintjie, wat gereeld vir on kom kuier het. Iets wat jy nie elke dag teëkom nie. Ons het die heerlikste ontbyt genuttig, in ons houthuis. Julle sal ons weer sien
The reception on arrival was very nice and professional. Came to receive us at car. We're going back again. John keeps you informed of everything. There had been a power outage with the heavy weather and we were informed of the circumstances.
Als was as we read, the perfect place for 2 for barbecue day, we can really recommend Swan Lake, from the communication beforehand with John, the arrival, breakfast, John going out of his way to make sure everything is ok. And of course the view. Couldn't have picked a better place!
Will definitely go again.
Beautiful, peaceful location. Exceptional attention to detail. Good, personal service.
Special attention was paid to fine detail in the charming cabin, soft music played in the cabin upon our arrival, the breakfast was top notch, we were properly spoiled, the cabin is clean and tidy, the view is beautiful.
A breathtaking view, with tranquility for the soul. The owners are very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the stay and will definitely return again!
I asked Swan Lake to help with special arrangements to get engaged and they immediately helped with suggestions. We recommend Swan Lake to everyone, it's the best value for money in Bloemfontein.
Neat with a very nice view. Delicious breakfast and very pleasant host.
Recommend Swan Lake.
Excellent service and beautiful accommodation! Not one negative point. Good value for money. Well done to the owner!
Die eienaars het ons op ons hande gedra. Dis die mooiste plek om te gaan rus. Die ontbyt was uit die boeke. Sal dit aanbeveel vir enige geleentheid.
Haven't stayed in a place for a long time that has it all - the location, cleanliness, atmosphere, hospitality, small details, competent hosts, punctuality, the extra mile, peace and quiet and a delicious breakfast. We recommend Swan Lake Cabin with the utmost confidence.
Dit is 'n paradys. Dit was heerlik om so na aan die natuur te ontspan en uit te rus. Die eenheid is goed toegerus. John en Maryke is hartsmense. Ontbyt is die lekkerste bederf. Sien julle vir seker in die winter om die gevriesde spruit te kom beleef.
Nice and private and calming. Delicious breakfast!
Swan-lake Cabin is the ideal place to get away from the city noise without driving far. Completely secluded and private with only the swans and ducks for company. The hospitality of the owners, John and Maryke, is a bonus.
Comfortable, affordable and quiet accommodation close to the city centre with a wonderful added bonus of breakfast.
Very clean and quiet.
It's truly an experience to sit on the water between the trees while nature makes the most beautiful sounds and the swans visit you. In the evening, lights are switched on around the lake which creates the most beautiful atmosphere. The perfect place to switch off a bit.
PERFECT for a quiet getaway, breath-taking time. Amazing host and hostess. Friendly, helpful and always ready with a chat and answer. A real paradise just outside the city. Trust me...... you will DEFINITELY see us again.
Friendly reception Beautiful neat cabin that is very well equipped and equipped with attention to detail. Will definitely visit Swan Lake again.
Hospitality of the owner was fantastic, we enjoyed the place very much and it was nice to wake up to work every morning in that environment Thank you very much for a very nice weekend, we will do it again regards
We were received very hospitably and informed about where everything was. There is personal attention given to cabin and us as guests by host. Beautiful view of the pond and various bird species right on your porch. Beautiful swans seeking attention. Quiet environment we would definitely recommend this place to stay.
Thank you very much John for the kind service. Swan Lake is definitely my favorite getaway spot. The breakfast was so delicious and thank you for welcoming us so warmly. The swans had been a real treat. We are happy to recommend Swan Lake to everyone! Nicest cozy place! You can be very proud! Many blessings to you.
Very peaceful and tidy getaway. Will definitely visit there again. The tranquility really charges one. Thank you very much for the excellent service!
Beautiful place. Helpful owner of the cabin very accommodating.
The Swan-lake Cabin was out of this world! John is a great host and he made very sure that everything you might need is already in the cabin. The cabin is literally on the lake and the two swans just add to its beauty! We absolutely loved being there and will definitely return. I recommend this place so highly as the perfect getaway from the city's craziness! You will not be disappointed!
Arrangements through website were excellent. Swan Lake Cabin: Owner John kept in touch with us the entire time we were on our way and met us at the gate. We were explained how everything works and the bed was prepared according to our request. Everything painfully neat. Breakfast was served on time at our request and was delicious. The large garden and surroundings are very beautiful with a lake with waterfowl and swans. John was available all the time and he goes out of his way to keep you happy. You can tell he enjoys and is proud of what he offers. I would recommend Swan Lake Cabin to any traveler.
Awesome view, nice and quiet. Very relaxing out of town vibe. Host was very helpful and friendly.
Very quiet and secluded, we could recharge really nicely. Friendly service and well appointed. Very nice breakfast. For sure good value, I will use Swan-lake Cabin again.
