Right from the moment we pulled up in the driveway, we were given a genuinely warm welcome from Miles and his staff. The room was lovely - a loft suite with lots of space and a balcony looking out over the garden and mountains where we enjoyed the bottle of red MCC that Miles had left us for our honeymoon... More

My husband and I decided to spend a long weekend in Swellendam to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Best decision ever! We were treated like royalty. The room was beautiful and the breakfasts simply wonderful. Miles' signature omelettes are the best we've ever tasted. We were very surprised at what a small town like Swellendam had to offer. Will definitely... More

We are traveling every year to SA for 30 years. It was our first visit in Swellendam. We must say that we enjoyed a lot to stay at Aan de Oever. Very quiet place, nice room, excellent breakfast and very friendly people. We have to come again More

So many luxuries, you feel like an honored guest and definitely spoiled! We wanted to stay longer. The gardens are beautiful and its so peaceful. Miles helped us... More

We originally booked one night, but we enjoyed the guesthouse and Swellendam so much we decided to stay for a second night! Out of our entire three and a half week trip in SA, this was our favourite guesthouse. We stayed in the Kingfisher room, a beautiful room overlooking the garden and koi pond at the foot of the Langeberge... More

Our family had the great pleasure of staying at Aan de Oever in June/July this year. We took two rooms, one for myself and husband and one for our two teenagers, and both were very comfortable. It was the middle of winter and the electric blankets on the beds were heavenly. The setting is very tranquil and we felt very... More

Stayed for just one night and wished we could have stayed for much longer. Beautiful location. Stayed in the Kingfisher room, overlooking the garden, river and mountains. Even though we are not bird watchers, it was great watching all the bird feeding activity carefully managed by the staff. Room was a good size, very clean, well equipped with some nice... More

This is my second visit to Aan de Oever. I found the facility had recently upgraded the rooms and painted the entire complex. The venue is looking smart and clean but still offers the familiar relaxed venue, with excellent views and breakfast. Delighted at the attention to detail and friendliness of staff. Will definitely return. More

We have stayed here ons night and will definately be back. Room was spacious and modern. They had a braai for staff of a local business and even invite the guests to enjoy the atmosphere as well. Even the "honesty bar" in the room was typical rural hospitality and some excellent local wine. The breakfast was excellent and I even... More
