Marilyn’s Rooms  -  Relax in these spacious bedrooms which include an en suite bathroom with shower, a kitchenette and TV with Netflix. Take a stroll through our beautiful garden after a dip in the sparkling pool.  The large outdoor braai area is nestled under a shade giving tree for those relaxing braai afternoons.

During loadshedding time the inverter provides power to the main lights and WIFI - essential for the working traveler.

Your rooms are private with the garden, pool and braai area being shared with guests booked in our other two rooms.  Book all three and enjoy the space privately.

Start your day with a friendly greeting from our furry office mates - our resident dogs and cats! They’ll make you feel right at home!
The property is adjacent to our town’s Showground which plays host to monthly agricultural events, local concerts and some well know cycle races.

Area Info:

Swellendam lies at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains and has become popular in recent times as a place to retreat and relax for those seeking a lifestyle outside of the city rat race. Steeped in history, as one of the oldest settlements in South Africa, you can expect a neat and welcoming town full of heritage buildings, amazing restaurants, nature adventures and many attractions right on our doorstep.

Attractions:

For the more adventurous, we are situated close to horse-riding, mountain hiking and quad-biking trails. For sports enthusiasts, a golf course, fishing on the Breede River and a variety of water sports are available to enjoy.

The Bontebok National Park, an 8000 hectare refuge for the rare Bontebok and Cape Mountain Zebra is situated just outside of town and for nature lovers, scenic walks to majestic waterfalls through an indigenous forest can be enjoyed at the Marloth Nature Reserve.

A visit to Sulina, the Fairie Sanctuary, will delight the kids and berry picking and liqueur tasting make for a fun filled family day!

For great day trips, you can take a drive to the coast to watch Southern Right Whales breaching and splashing just a stone’s throw from shore, or to Cape L’Agulhas, the Southern most tip of Africa. A drive down the famous Karoo Route 62, through Suurbrak and the scenic Tradoux Pass, with its magnificent rock formations is a must for desert lovers and a stop for lunch in Barrydale a treat!

Activities:

We are situated within walking distance from the town center. Swellendam has plenty to offer to ensure a varied and fun-filled stay: a wide variety of gift and novelty shops, wonderful restaurants, museums, art galleries and, for visitors with an interest in history, there are plenty of historical sites to visit.
