Perfect.

The location is perfect along the river surrounded by mountains and farm life. The ablutions are clean. The host is very friendly and helpful. We even had a spotted eagle owl hooting near the tent in the evening.

Friendly welcome and good stay.

Given option to move campsite (to 'dam') as the other ('garden') was filled with a large group. Thus, we had the dam area to ourselves, plus additional shelter in the rain. Enjoyed the time at Alpine Swifit.

‘n Nuwe verrassende ontdekking vir ons.

Buite seisoen, enigste gaste, pragtige groot kamer en badkamer. Baie gawe gasheer en vrou, so jy kan dit net geniet en ontspan. ‘n Pragtige natuurskone roete deur Naudés Nek pas.

Baie goeie fasiliteite.

Die natuurlike swembad het baie goeie lafenis gebied in die warm dae. Baie vriendelik ontvang. Plek is netjies en aangenaam. Rhodes-area is pragtig en Alpine Swift is perfek geleë.

Ongelooflike ligging en wonderlike ervaring.

Ons het 2 nagte vertoef, maar dit is gans te kort. Om alles te ervaar en te verken ten minste 5 nagte. Dit was kort, maar steeds lekker uitgerus en bietjie oefening ingekry. Hiltan was baie behulpsaam en gasvry. Ons sal beslis die winter weer besoek.

Amazing location and great experience.

We stayed 2 nights, but it was far too short. To experience and explore everything at least 5 nights. It was short, but still well rested and got some exercise. Hiltan was very helpful and hospitable. We will definitely visit again in the winter.

Ideaal vir 'n groep om gesamentlik te kuier.

Alhoewel Alpine Swift Trails eintlik vir 'n groep ingerig is het ons tog lekker hier gebly. Ons het die hele plek vir onsself gehad. Ongelukkig was die eienaars weg met vakansie toe ons daar was, maar die personeel het steeds gesorg dat alles in plek was. I.t.v. ligging is hulle so 5 km buite Rhodes. Ons het hiervandaan die bergpasse verken (Na Tiffendell en Naude's Nek.) Sou graag 'n bietjie wou gaan draf op hul trails, maar sonder die gasheer daar, was dit nie vir ons toeganklik nie.

Ideal for a group to hang out together.

Although Alpine Swift Trails is actually set up for a group, we still enjoyed our stay here. We had the whole place to ourselves. Unfortunately the owners were away on holiday when we were there, but the staff still made sure everything was in place. regarding location they are about 5 km outside Rhodes. We explored the mountain passes from here (To Tiffendell and Naude's Nek.) Would have liked to go jogging a bit on their trails, but without the host there, it was not accessible to us.

One sal weer kom maar vir 'n langer tydperk.

Ons het die gasvryheid en atmosfeer baie waardeer. Volgende keer bring ons die kinders en kleinkinders saam en bly dan langer.

Baie basiese geriewe wat skoon en netjies is. Ideaal vir hengelaars.

Ongelooflike ervaring!

Hoewel Alpine Swift dalk nie bedoel is vir diegene vir wie luuksheid en gerief alles is nie, bly die ervaring luuks en gerieflik. Die omgewing is asemrowend, die fasiliteite is puik en die diens onverbeterlik. Hilton en Sunelle se persoonlike betrokkenheid laat 'n mens dadelik tuis voel en wanneer jy weggaan is dit soos vriende wat jy agterlaat. Hulle is heeltyd ingestel om na enige behoefte of probleem om te sien en gaan uit hulle pad dat al hulle gaste gemaklik is en die beste moontlike ervaring het. Ons gaan vir seker terug en beveel Alpine Swift ten sterkste as jy lief is vir avontuur en die natuur en geestelik wil herlaai.

Amazing experience!

Although Alpine Swift may not be intended for those for whom luxury and comfort are everything, the experience remains luxurious and comfortable. The surroundings are breathtaking, the facilities are superb and the service unbeatable. Hilton and Sunelle's personal involvement makes one feel immediately at home and when you leave it is like friends you leave behind. They are always ready to take care of any need or problem and go out of their way to make sure all their guests are comfortable and have the best possible experience. We will definitely go back and highly recommend Alpine Swift if you love adventure and nature and want to recharge mentally.

Dirt Rhodes, down hills and through meadows.

We stayed at Alpine Swift Trails for two nights. 60km dirt road from Barkley East to this venue, but it is worth it - spectacular views! Hylton and Sunelle were welcoming and shared information about two trails from the venue - both offer scenic views. Unique experience that I highly recommend.
