We stayed at De Kloof one night in August 2009. Unfortunately that day it was raining so we couldn't appreciate entirely the beauty of the place, but still we enjoyed being in such a beautiful guesthouse with bad weather! Our room was a deluxe garden suite, we saw them both before deciding which one to stay in. The rooms are... more

This is undoubtedly a beautifully renovated estate which looks, as previous contributors say, exactly as it looks in the brochure. The decoration is tasteful, good quality and the accommodation spacious, the grounds are lovely. But we do have reservations which we are sad about. The last contribution indicates that it would be better to visit in the summer – we... more

We stayed here as part of our honeymoon in June 2009 as a quick stop on the way to Oudtshoorn. Good quality guest house with friendly welcome and very clean and nicely decorated room with big well fitted bathroom. Good breakfast and they even washed our car for us! Would definitely recommend visiting at a warmer time of year to... more

We stayed at De Kloof Luxury Estate for 1 night during the Christmas holidays. The estate is well-located, just outside the centre of Swellendam and even has its own golf course. The ancient house is run by a Dutch couple who’ve tastefully renovated it, respecting its heritage. Before dinner Marjolein offers all guests a complimentary wine tasting; a great way... more

De Kloof was our first stop on our holiday and we drove straight from Cape Town airport after overnight from Heathrow. Easy drive and only about 2-2.5 hours. The original house is the oldest in Swellendam and has been restored sympathetically and styllishly with beautiful furniture and antiques, some from Holland and some African. The rooms are all in seperate... more

My wife and I stayed two days at the De Kloof Luxury Estate and it was absolutely fabulous. Marjolein and Roy made us feel totally at home. The whole staff could not do enough for us from the breakfast and lunch service to cleaning our car on departure. The room we stayed in was beautifully decorated as was the whole... more

We stayed here for 2 nights in jan 09 in a standard room in the main building. The service we received from the hosts and their staff was very good, including a guided tour on arrival of the estate and an unexpected car wash on the last day. The room was very good with a large double bed, excellent storage,... more

This is a little oasis of calm and you wouldn't know it was anywhere near a town as it's so quiet. Unfortunately because of the wet weather we didn't get a chance to use the pool but it looked lovely. We had the honeymoon suite which was a little cottage away from the main house and overlooking the pitch and... more

What a beautiful and luxury Estate. High quality renovated estate and rooms. Beautiful garden and swimming pool. Very friendly owners who can tell you about the present and the past of Swellendam and surroundings. They also provide you with excellent advice on the sightseeing possibilities in the Kaap. Highly recommended Ed more
