I agree with a previous reviewer who comments about the stunning location being the main selling point. We found the food OK but nothing special and the accommodation quite poor. No air conditioning is a problem. In temperatures of over 40 degrees you need more than a fan in the room especially as due to the mosquitos you can't really... More

We spent one nt at this country manor and were pleased with our choice. Although the first room we were shown to was not to our satisfaction as we preferred 2 beds, the manager was right there to make our stay right and changed us to a perfect room with newer bath and a bit larger. My only complaint was... More

This is a stunning location, but there it stops. Service and food is really of poor quality. Rooms do not have Coffee & Tea stations, No Televisions. Clients complained about dirty rooms. More

We spent 4 nights in Swartberg Country Manor for Easter, and it was exactly what we were looking for: the location and the view are stunning, it is very quiet and relaxing, there are plenty of things to do in the area, but it has much more to offer: we were warmly welcomed by Colleen and her staff, Morne in...

On arrival we were introduced to our very friendly host and manager, Colleen Smith. She suggested us to first relax with a drink on... More

The host was incredibly hospitable.........came to greet us when we pulled up, invited us for a drink, took care of our bags........took every effort to make us feel welcome. The dinner was excellent as well, with a good choice and a fine wine selection. It was... More

We stayed in the "Bakhuis" honeymoon suite (their top room). It is a separate small house located in a paddock with 2 ostriches and chicks resident. Lovely as this seems, their dung encourages a lot of flies, so the deck was not used very much. The room was small, no separate toilet, no wardrobe (we were there for 3 nights),... More

What a special evening we had! WOW, from the moment we arrived at the Manor, we were personally welcomed by Colleen and her team, made us feel right a home! We were then taken to our Honeymoon Suite, (this was for our 6th aniversary) and we were taken by surprise! An old little 'bakehouse' was renovated to be our suite,... More
