We were given a warm welcome by Norval, out landlady for the night - what a character ! We were shown our room and given time to settle in. The room was just behind the kitchen - spacious, comfortable and quiet, even when breakfast was being prepared. Later in the afternoon when we returned from a wander round town, we... more

Our first thoughts on seeing the B&B were that we were going to be like guests in somebody's home as it is essentially a residential bungalow. We were shown to our room by the landlord, who was a very pleasant chap and we were delighted with the room - it almost felt like a hotel suite had been installed into... more

Gosh, what a review! We know we cannot please everyone - but this was our first negative response, and we could not help but smile. We do however appreciate your opinion. Brian Norval and Stellie wish you the very best for 2010.

We were celebrating our golden wedding year and our first choice of hotel in Swellendam thought that because of our advanced years, we might be too old to climb their stairs ( ! ) and recommended us to Heerden Huijs. Thank goodness. We were VERY warmly welcomed and spent a very comfortable night. Not only was the breakfast delicious but... more

You couldn't ask for more helpful or friendlier hosts. We were welcomed with some good red wine, and for two days we were very well looked after - nothing seemed too much trouble. We were rather alarmed when Norval told us she got up at 5am every morning to bake muffins, as our room was right next to the kitchen,... more

In the heart of the lovely town of Swellendam lies Heerden Huijs. We've had a good night sleep and a very delicious breakfast there! Brian was a fantastic host who took the time to explain things and give some good suggestions. more

This is an incredible little B & B. We stayed 2 nights and when we left it was like leaving family. We were made so welcome by Brian, Norval & Estella. The food is excellent, the muffins delicious and the fruit plate should be framed it is such a work of Art. On the second night Brian & Norval did... more

Having stayed at Heerden Huijs two years ago it was a must to visit again. Norval and Brian are perfect hosts and Estelle is a delight. The rooms are very comfortable and the breakfast is a work of art and tastes as good as it looks! The main street of Swellendam is a short walk away and we can recommend... more

Even though I only slept over for one night, Noval and Brian welcomed me with open arms and made me feel so at home. The rooms were spacious, beautifull, clean and so comfortable. The food done to perfection and was so delicious. It was such a treat to have my fruit in the morning and looking like a art piece,... more

I said to Jan and my daughter Ellen as we were driving to you in Swellendam that you would be an "interesting host" I feel that even through e-mails you can get to know the person!! And was I right, what a wonderful quirky person you are!!! You gave us a fabulous down to earth Cape Braai night which we... more

B&B well located in Swellendam, in walking distance of the museum and good restaurants. Norval and Brian were so welcoming and friendly, it was like visiting old friends! Room was spacious, clean and very comfortable and the attention to detail incredible. Breakfast menu was delicious including homemade bread and muffins. I would stay again when back in the area. more
