There was no-one around when we arrived, so we had to go away and come back later! Despite the Lonely Planet saying they do good dinners, they weren't cooking when we stayed as we were the only ones there. Breakfast was overpriced and the person working wouldn't let me make a local call despite offering to pay - I had to go into town which is a 10-15 minute walk. Room was okay but quite cold - they did provide extra blankets though. Lots of mosquitoes in the room. more

Swellendam Backpackers is a wonderful place to stay whether you are a single traveler, a family with big or small kids or even a more vintage traveler. Ideal for a romantic weekend escape. I am so sorry for our guest that did not catch us working hard in the office close to the front desk, but we need to relax...

We stayed one night at the Swellendam Backpackers in a double en-suite room with entrance via sliding doors.

The room was clean but very dark and the bathroom was below the standard I would expect from the price of the place. There were lots of mosquitos so I'd recommend taking repellent.

When we arrived their was no one in reception to meet us.

The area the backpackers is located is very quiet and residential, you'll have to walk 10 min to get to restaurants and 15-20 min to get to the high street.

There are some customer parking bays at the front of the house and parking on the grass verges.

The communal kitchen wasn't cooking dinner when we stayed but looked tidy and clean.
