Holiday houses in Swellendam

We've enjoyed holidaying at Pieter's house in Witsand for several years now. It's lovely, spacious and well equipped -with a spectacular view of the sea, teeming with baby whales and their mothers. Pieter and Ilse are the best kind of hosts: efficient, affable, knowledgeable and professional.

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful—spacious, clean, and instantly felt like home. It’s in a fantastic location, just a short walk to the water with a perfect jetty. We rented a boat and had so much fun exploring the area. Communication with Madi was excellent—she was super helpful and even arranged for wood to be delivered for us. The neighbours were lovely too, which just added to the warm and welcoming vibe. Highly recommend this place and we’ll definitely be back!

We had such an amazing surprise when we arrived at Berry Guest Farm - Raspberry cottage. We had booked as a last minute break and due to the responsive host had just gone straight ahead without getting too much info. What a treat when we arrived with our 4 children. The farm is a child’s paradise with activities - from amazing zip lines, canoes that are free to use at any time, fishing, waterslides, warm pool, night time child friendly hikes with UV torches… the list goes on, but the plus is that the scenery and nature of the place makes it paradise for adults too. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, and a short distance from nature reserves with hikes, waterfalls, mountain trails and wildlife, well we were just spoilt for choice! We had no idea that the small airbnb we had booked offered all this and we will be sure to return with friends to book a few of the cottages and maybe even camp on the campsite. Note: the campsite was very close to the house but noise wasn’t an issue

Very nice home and location. Just what we needed for the Double Century cycle race !

LOVED our 3day stay, could have stayed a week. Beautiful surroundings, we loved sitting on the grass looking out on the dam. comfortable beds, had all aminities for a weekend away. our dogs loved swimming in the dam. perfect break away for the weekend. we also booked the cottage next door, a perfect group away setting.

What a gem! Perfect location offering the best of both worlds - the serenity of a countryside setting and natural surroundings, yet a 5 minute drive into town for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. With breathtaking views of the mountains and farm (complete with horses, sheep, donkeys and more) from your patio, ample birdsong, a spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped, cozy cottage with an incredibly comfortable bed and enormous shower - one couldn't ask for more! Nadia is a kind, thoughtful and attentive host...I cannot wait to stay here again :)

We had a wonderful family stay at Ontevreden. The house has everything you need and more. I still cannot get over the most amazing mountain views, and peacefulness of the farm. The hosts were fabulous and answered all of our questions, as well as accomodating our requests. Thank you for the unforgettable weekend my family that we will talk about for years to come!

The view. It was stunning!! Horses walking past early in evening, a little pond for the dogs to swim in, lovely walks in the evening 🌟 It was lovely and peaceful! Just a warning- one of the far away neighbours has a dog that’s seems pretty aggressive, if you’re taking a doggo, just beware of that one! But that’s no reflection on how amazing the accommodation was! I’ll be back!!!
