77 guests' feedbackWas a very nice place and very friendly town. The tranquility did us good.
The host was welcoming and we found everything we needed in the cottage. The beds were warm and the electric blanket was wonderful. Of all the places we have stayed, this had the best quality mattress by far; well done. The shower had instant hot water - fantastic. The cottage is rustic and we enjoyed the indoor fireplace. Sometimes it's the small details that make the difference. Good luck to the hosts.
We had a wonderful stay.
Experience heaven on earth. Very romantic and breathtaking. Outstanding self catering.
We felt so welcome. Anel was amazing - she ensured we were comfortable for the night's stay. The cottage is big and could easily accommodate a family. It was well maintained and clean, and the fireplace was just what we needed to warm up. The pool table was a bonus, and my hubby and I found out just how rusty we were - lol.
It was very nice and friendly people. Anel made us feel very welcome.
Everything was neat and clean and the owner was friendly and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay.
We, my sister and I, arrived after dark and immediately felt at home because our hostess's helpfulness in finding the place to stay and setting us up. It is located in a quiet area and we were able to sleep warm on the cold night with enough blankets and electric blankets too. The apartment is large with 2 separate rooms and bathrooms and is comfortably furnished. The kitchenette is well equipped with what is needed for a light dinner and breakfast.
The accommodation was very comfortable and very clean. Everything you need for a break is available in the cottage. There was also no shortage of stove and braai wood. The cottage is also very accessible for people with disabilities and mobility restrictions.
Had a great time, host met me personally. Will stay longer next time.
The hostess is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. I couldn't barbecue because it was raining, but I wish I could. Nicely equipped.
Comfortable cottage ideal for families.
See stars.
It was very nice and a peaceful environment.
Excellent accommodation with everything one needs. Can really recommend it.
It was a shame that they were fully booked, because we really enjoyed it there. It felt like our home. The owners made us feel so welcome. It was really worth it.
Excellent accommodation and had everything we needed for our business trip. The house was clean and well-equipped for self-catering. Very comfortable and spacious.
Our hostess was very friendly and helpful and we had a very nice stay. Next time we will definitely stay longer.
Peaceful, quiet and convenient.
It was very pleasant.
We had a wonderful stay. Everything is clean and well equipped. The pool table kept us busy.
Lovely beds and very neat unit.
Relaxed overnight stay in Swellendam in the quiet accommodation. Whilst we were only two, the accommodation is well suited for two couples or a family of 4-5. The accommodation is well-equipped and even has a small snooker table. Very comfortable and pleasant stay.
We stayed one night and can't complain about anything except that the one shower was clogged. Mentioned it to the owner the next morning.
Plekkie has everything needed for a night's stay BUT there was a smell of smoke from previous guests in the place. We didn't check in until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If the house's windows and doors had been properly left open from 10:00 a.m. when previous guests left, there would have been drafts of air and much less smell of smoke. There are burglar bars in front of all the windows which made this possible. It has not been done. On our arrival, doors and windows were all closed. We don't smoke and found it awful.
The cottage was clean and comfortable, and the host was brilliant and very accommodating.
No complaints whatsoever.
The gas stove had been a pleasant surprise. We had everything we needed and felt very safe. The garden is fairytale beautiful and offers a peaceful and calming atmosphere. A stone's throw from different hangouts.
My husband and I were in Swellendam for a wedding. We stayed two nights and the place is so nice and private. We spent nice lazy days in front of the fireplace while the storm rained outside. There was more than enough wood at no cost. The full DSTV and WiFi was a bonus. Everything was very neat and there was everything needed for a nice visit. We were kindly received.
It was our best stay ever. The place was so well appointed that it felt like home, with more than we expected. We felt so at home. Wish we could stay longer. A definite place to stay for a next time. Pleasant hostess.
The Garden Cottage is centrally located and in a safe, quiet and beautiful environment. We were kindly received and the cottage is spacious and comfortable. It is clean and tidy and good value for money.
We stayed overnight at The Garden Cottage while on a road trip stopover in Swellendam. The Garden Cottage is comfortable, and spacious, with every amenity one could think of for self-catering.
The cottage is spacious and is particularly well equipped. It's located in a safe environment where we could visit peacefully.
I stayed with Anel for quite a long time. The peaceful area and fantastic service you find in few places. Anel went out of her way and did more than expected. Thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
Nicely furnished with everything you need, and very comfortable and felt at home. Barbecue area very nice and private. The fish pond, garden and chickens were an experience. So beautiful and relaxing to look at. Hostess was very friendly and pleasant.
We really enjoyed our visit. The surroundings are tree-rich and beautiful. The service is great and we were received very kindly. It's definitely value for money and I will definitely stay there again.
Safe, tidy, spacious and just delicious.
We had a wonderful overnight stay at The Garden Cottage, Anel received us kindly and her detail impressed me. She provides for so many extra treats. We would definitely recommend this accommodation.
Big house with nice seating round braai.
Beautiful place. Hostess was very friendly. Cottage big enough for two couples. Unfortunately we only stayed overnight, would have liked to stay longer. The garden is beautiful and the braai area looks very nice. Would definitely recommend The Garden Cottage.
Would recommend Garden Cottage to any family. We were welcomed with open arms and cannot comment negatively at all. Thank you!
We enjoyed staying at the garden cottage and it was everything we expected.
Very nice stay, very enjoyable.
Received very friendly and make you feel at home immediately. Have fun and relax area with pool table, couches, TV and WiFi. Even braai facilities are also at your disposal. Would stay here again anytime.
The place is as we expected. Everything we needed was there.
Was absolutely perfect and had everything we needed. Ideal location for our business trip.
It is a peaceful place. I recommend if you are looking for tranquility Garden Cottage is the place.
There is also a fireplace but at the time it was raining and I would have liked a covered braai place or an indoor braai place. For the price I paid, I can't complain.
Everything that is required is in the cottage. Owner was great with our 3 am check-in.
Lovely cottage in good, quiet neighbourhood. We let our kids explore the streets on their own. Close to hiking and MTB trails. We will be back.
Fantastic and very affordable accommodation with everything I needed. The pool board, tank system and fast WiFi were a big plus. Very nice and professional service from the hostess. I would highly recommend this accommodation and use it again.
A lot of dust and cobwebs. Looked as if it has not been cleaned in a long time. Some dishes were dirty, bathroom mats were full of dirt and lots of hair left in basin. Toilets also very dirty. Would not recommend and thankfully we were only there for one night.
Anel immediately made us feel at home and we were able to visit comfortably for 4 days. There is WiFi, DStv, a pool table and a comfortable braai and outdoor seating area. Car could also park safely behind the gate.
Our hostess Anel was very accommodating.
It was excellent. Anel is perfect hostess. We would recommend anyone to stay here. It's the little things that count and make it the perfect stay. Lovely braai place and shady. Thank you very much Anel!
Amazing host, very accommodating and friendly. The place is amazing, enough space and has everything you think you'll need and more. Enjoyed our stay and will definitely want to go back. Just lovely.
Very peaceful environment and close to everything, but away from the main street with everything one needs. Spacious and cozy. Friendly owner/hostess.
Beautiful under trees.
The owners were very welcoming and the accommodation both sleeping wise and in general was excellent. Very good stay and a lovely town in the country with pleasant surrounds.
Wow what a fantastic place to stay. Anel made us feel at home, and the place has everything you need and more. It is really the best place we stayed overnight on our Cape tour. Neat, clean and safe. Thank you Anel, we will see you again.
A great stay in a very special little town.
We attended a cycling event on a very cold winter weekend. Being out in the cold and rain for most of the day, it was a huge treat to come back to a comfy bed with an electric blanket. The cottage was well equipped for the two of us. Even though the cottage is on the outskirts of town and you can hear chickens and roosters. It is also close enough to restaurants and entertainment in town. The friendly host supplied us with tea, coffee, and milk which was very welcome upon our arrival.
The hostess is very friendly and explained everything well! The house is much more than we expected, will definitely stay there again!
The Garden Cottage is a spacious well-kept cottage. The Wi-Fi and full DStv was great. The lounge area leads to a spacious braai area surrounded by trees allowing a relaxing environment. We received a warm welcome upon arrival and immediately felt at home. The property is secure and we felt safe. I will definitely return and refer to friends and family.
Very quiet environment with nice view of the mountain, very clean and tidy place with lovely hot water, clean linen and towels and very helpful hostess, secure parking for vehicle, complete self-catering unit with everything you could need, lovely garden to hang out in to relax, lovely facilities with WiFi and large TV, very nice braai area. All I would recommend is a loose fan because I get hot easily.
Great cottage with a friendly host. Had a great time, would definitely recommend it. Pool table is definitely a bonus.
Friendly host. Cosy, well-equipped cottage. Electric blanket on a cold night made a huge difference.
The Garden Cottage was very neat and comfortable. Will use it again.
We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped Garden Cottage. For those who enjoy playing pool and darts while having a braai, this is the ideal spot. We just would have liked soap in every shower. Fortunately, we had our own. The beds are comfortable and Anel made sure we had enough blankets for the cold evenings. There is no storage or hanging space in the second bedroom and the bathroom is also tiny, but you don't need anything more.
Hostess, Anel, was very friendly and she spared no trouble.
Lovely, large living area and braai area.
For sure value for money. Very friendly hostess who goes the extra mile for her guests. Fantastic.
We were just looking for a stop over place on the way up to the garden route and back. What we received was so much more - Anel is a wonderful host, and the cottage itself is lovely! We really enjoyed ourselves and have already told friends about it!
Home away from home! The house was clean and neat, and had everything we needed. The nice braai area was a hit! We will definitely stay here again. Thank you!
Well located. Everything you need and it's neat.
We had a lovely comfortable stay.
We had a very nice stay. The place is easy to find. There is secure parking. The place is spacious and well appointed. We had some adventure with a stove that kept kicking the power off even when everything else in the unit was off. There is a delicious barbecue area and chickens that come to greet you early in the morning. Be careful, the curtains are transparent. You might put on a show for someone. We had a wonderful stay even if it was only one night.
