We used Swellendamas a base to visit De Hoop nature reserve and a stop off on the way to Franshhoek. This old parsonage had loads of character and a warm welcoming feel. The rooms are very large and comfortable. Our bathroom was the size of a decent London apartment! The host Tersia made us very welcome and provided a lovely... more

De Oude Pastorie (the Old Parsonage) is one of Swellendam's historic buidlings and has been sympathetically restored with plenty of original features.

The bedrooms are very spacious and there are several sitting areas in the house... more

A beautifully renovated vicarage in which you are made so welcome by the owner. Very comfortable and spotless rooms set in lovely grounds in the centre of this pretty town backed by mountains. An ideal stopover location with much to explore. Thoroughly recommended without any hesitation. more

We will definitely be staying over at De Oude Pastorie again when we are in Swellendam - a... more
