I was fortunate to stay in a room that was beautifully furnished and is amongst the most comfortable I have stayed in. The indoor and outdoor bathroom added a touch of luxury to my stay. However, I discovered I could have upgraded to a much better room for half the price, which was a missed opportunity.

Service

6.0

The service was quite impersonal when we arrived as no one was available, but the maid eventually helped us. On the bright side, they met us, showed us to our rooms, served us breakfast the next day, and even checked us out. However, the staff kept very much to themselves, creating an impersonal experience due to extremely rude behavior.

Location

The location of the hotel is perfect for exploring Swellendam, being close to the Drostdy Museum and within walking distance of good restaurants. The surroundings are very neat, peaceful, and pleasant, offering lovely views and character.

Dining

The dining experience was good overall, and I especially recommend trying the udon soups. It's the best stopover if you're driving the garden route. Unfortunately, during my visit, the dining was affected by a local bike race, limiting some options.

The lodge offers excellent facilities, making the stay more enjoyable, despite some limitations due to the bike race event.
