Luxury cabin in the Swellendam valley, W.C.

Swellendam

Boasting river views, Luxury cabin in the Swellendam valley, W.C. Provides accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 12 km from Bonnievale Golf Club. A hot tub is available for guests.

The cabin is beautifully designed and very well maintained. Everything was spotless and fully equipped, both in the kitchen and the living area, so you feel at home right away. Communication beforehand was friendly, quick and reliable, and there was always someone available on site in case any questions came up. You have plenty of privacy and the surrounding nature is stunning with a small pond where you can watch animals. At night you get an impressive sky full of stars that feels almost unreal. Overall it is a very charming and thoughtfully managed place.

The house was absolutely gorgeous, straight out of a magazine. It felt so luxurious. We had everything we needed and more! It was so beautiful and peaceful on the farm and it really felt like a home away from home. The owners, Marthalie and Neels, were so kind and hospitable. They were always available when needed and treated us like family!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Joubertsdal. The stunning view from the cottage, along with the braai area, the fire hot tub, and the fireplace inside, made this an exceptional getaway. The cottage was clean, and everything was provided as expected. The firewood was a bonus. Petro, our host, went out of her way to make our stay unforgettable.
