Swellendam hotellia

Plussat: My capture already says it, we really can not describe how incredible the guesthouse and everything else was, including the super nice staff and service. We stayed in the room Genisis and it was stunning, so much love is put into every detail, so lovely!!! From the veranda you can watch the birds flying around in the beautiful garden or just relax with a cup of tea and Mariannas homemade Muffins (tastes so incredibly good). Marianna is the owner of Braeside. In the morning a wonderful breakfast, consisting of a buffet (fresh fruit, Joghurt,cheese, homemade bread, homemade muffins....+ own orders), is served. It is such a pitty that we just stayed one night at. So if you are staying at Swellendam you should definitely stay at Braeside. A special thanks to Marianna, she is such a warm-hearted person and manages this guesthouse with such a passion. You will love her! We will definitely come back! We wish you all the best! Much love Isabel and Claudio

Plussat: The room was amazing. Spacious, comfortable. The gardens and the house are beautiful. You can get coffee and tea and they had freshly baked cupcakes when I was there. Hospitality was fantastic. They are willing to help you with your bookings and are most flexible in arranging your stay. I highly recommend staying here.

Plussat: The Braeside Guest House offers wonderful accommodation and exceptional service in a great setting. The rooms are well appointed, clean and very comfortable. It is within easy walking distance of some very good restaurants and the breakfast offered is both comprehensive and delicious. Mariana, the hostess, runs a very slick operation with the assistance of Kate and Kane and guests are really treated to a wonderful experience. We are sure to return when we are in the area.

Plussat: The quiet ambience and friendly welcome

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Very very nice estate , very well designed, and great hospitality.

Plussat: Everything about Bloomestate was stylish. Our room was decorated to depict one of the elements. Fire. Thus it was red and black. The first black lav I’ve ever sat on! The owners had given everything considerable thought, the end result being quite dramatic. Food first class and space to lose yourself in the citrus orchard.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: Friendly reception. Hassle free stay. Excellent breakfast.

Plussat: There are just a few rooms, so there’s lots of space in the beautiful green garden and great swimming pool. Very tranquil and relaxed atmosphere. Well thought off room design. Delicious breakfast. And, last but not least, friendly and helpful owners.

Plussat: If you are staying in swellendam, stay here. One of, if not the best, hotel stays we have ever had. The couple that own the property are absolutely wonderful. Fantastic style and décor. Very relaxing with all the right amenities to be romantic and relaxing. The breakfast was simply the best we have had.

Plussat: they serve a very good breakfast. The owners and the personnel are very friendly and inform you about anything you need to know. Very quit Guest house , perfect place to stay with Some good restaurants close to the guesthouse.

Plussat: The staff and food were A1 !!! Simply amazing

Miinukset: Couldn’t fault our accomodation! Swellendam is a sleepy town but a good stop on the way to the garden route.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Nothing. It was perfect.

Plussat: 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.

Miinukset: Although we were fine with the breakfast hour, serving breakfast for more than 1 hour is advisable.
