Relaxing stop on garden route

Pros: The Eco pool, the bathroom with twin showers, the breakfast and the care and attention of the owners. And the unexpected car wash!
Cons: Minor points: A quicker check in after a long drive to let us enjoy the pool and gardens for longer.
Location: Swellendam is a smart town with a good choice of restaurants and some interesting history.
The owners are very welcoming, enthusiastic and informative about the town and area and the welcome drink was well received. The rooms here are large, well equipped and ours had a beautiful bathroom. The gardens and Eco pool are delightful and worth the stay alone. A good breakfast in the lounge overlooking the pool was enjoyable. Would recommend as a stop off along the garden route or just off Route 62.
