Augusta de Mist Country House and Kitchen

This place is pure magic. The little cottages are hidden in a green park, in the middle of plants in a very neat environment. The cottages are like small museums. No matter where you look, you will always find new things to explore. The stuff was extraordinary friendly and attentively. At night we had dinner at the restaurant. 7 different courses that just left us speechless. The cook put so much effort and love in it, we were delighted. The wine selection was small, but extraordinary and straight to the point. In between the courses the owner told us stories about the background of the place and the stuff and revealed some secrets of the food preparation. We enjoyed every single minute of the dinner and hoped it would never stop. The next morning the magic continued with the breakfast. With distance the best breakfast that we had in South Africa so far. The bread was self made and still warm, a nice selection of different cheese, home made jam, local delicacies, muffins, granola etc.. Also you could order different Omelettes (super delicious) and flapjacks (to die for) and a lot more. Everything, and I really mean EVERYTHING, was perfect during our stay. We enjoyed it so much and it was one of our holiday highlights. I just can recommend anyone to go there when in Swellendam. And even if it is not on the list yet, put it on there.

Nothing. It was perfect.

Wonderful place with charming room Nice garden Friendly owner

Beautiful historic accommodation with tastefully decorated little villas in a lush garden, comfortable bed, big bathroom, generous and delicious breakfast. Don't miss the fantastic African gourmet dinner!

WLAN could be improved.

I absolutely loved staying at Augusta De Mist, the cottage that I stayed in was so nicely done, loved the various touches. The staff were all amazing. What a gem. I have already booked our next stay.

The perfect setting to unwind and recharge. Michele is a wonderful and informative host who welcomed us into this special home with cupcakes and history. The breakfast on its own could win awards but overall this place really impressed us, we will be back for many years. Thank you Augusta De Mist
