Comments, Rules and Notes

  • Comments: Cosy garden cabins, Campsites and En-Suite rooms lie in a lush bird filled garden fringed by a gurgling mountain stream in a tranquil part of Swellendam, a stones throw from the Marloth Nature Reserve and Two Feathers Horse Trails. Halfway between Cape Town And the Garden Route this is an ideal location for hiking and horse riding in the indigenous forests at the foothills of the Marloth Nature Reserve. Set up camp and spend your days visiting Swellendam and surround; Wildebraam, Fairy Sanctuary, Drostdy Museum, Robertson Wine Route, Witsand Whale Watching, Cape Aghulas, Most southern tip of Africa, Warmwaterberg Hot Spings, Fuffi sliding, Canoeing, and more.
