My husband and I have visited De Kloof several times, and since our last visit it now has a very good restaurant. We spent 2 nights there in April and really enjoyed our stay. They also now have a very nice residents' lounge, which is also an added bonus since our last visit. Roy & Marjolein are wonderful hosts and... More

We arrived at De Kloof shortly after midday and were warmly greeted, however, when we asked about something to eat we were informed that the chef had not arrived but that there were a number of places where we could eat in the town. We checked in and were shown to our rooms all of which were ready! First impressions... More

I stayed at De Kloof a few years ago for a much needed long weekend and was enthralled by their attention to detail, delicious food and accomodation. On the way back to Cape Town over the Easter weekend this year, my daughter was feeling ill and the weather had turned rather cold. We stopped in at De Kloof hoping to... More

We stayed for one night whilst en route to Kynsna. Whilst we were warmly greated and were looking forward to having some tapas for lunch as suggested in a previous e-mail we were told that the chef had not yet arrived and were directed to the town to eat. Not what we expected of a 5 star establishment. Invited to... More

The group of six adults arrived far before midday and as the rooms were not ready yet the choice is :whether to stay and wait ( eat/drink) or alternatively to go and explore the beautiful town by feet . The manager informed guests what to see and do in town and mentioned as well about the available lunch options while... More

We had a great stay in De Kloof Luxury Estate. It's situated just off the main road of Swellendam, but still within easy walking distance. The main house is an old Cape Dutch building, from the beginning 1800, very beautiful ! The rooms were comfortable and spacious with all the comfort you need. In the main building there was a...

We stayed for one night on our way back to Cape Town from Knysna , our only disappointment was that we weren't staying longer. Our suite was very comfortable with a huge bathroom. We had dinner at De Kloof which was very good as was the breakfast. The owners have done a great job in renovating the estate. A super... More

The main house is one of the oldest Cape Dutch Houses in Swellendam. Our charming hosts have put a labour of love into their estate. This has to be the top place to stay in town. Luxury furnishings in all rooms both public and bed and bathrooms. Their is a magnificent pool area with glorious views of the Langerberg Mountains.... More

The De Kloof Luxury Estate is a really great place to stay. It ticked all the boxes for us – clean and well furnished accommodation, great service and good food. As a bonus, there was some complimentary pre dinner wine tasting – a very pleasant experience. The Guest House is in a quiet, pleasant location, but within easy walking distance... More
