Blissful getaway in nature with silence and breathtaking mountain scenery.
Swartskaap is ideal for an escape from a busy routine with the breathtaking, quiet and safe environment in which you find yourself. The house is clean, tidy and well equipped with all necessities including a dishwasher, washing machine and a very nice covered barbecue area. We enjoyed the walking route to the river, as well as popping into the old post office/little museum. If you want to get away from noise, admire nature and like to be among the mountains, Swartskaap is the holiday spot for you. There is also a lot to do in the area with Calitzdorp with its wineries, drive the Groenfontein road past the Calitzdorp Dam, go wine tasting at Peter Bayly Wines, and see the very interesting "Rooikoppe". A drive to Prince Albert via the Swartberg pass is also an ideal day trip. Matjiesvlei Retreat's managers are also very nice and helpful and answer any questions you may have ahead of time. We will definitely visit there again!

Winter break.
Once again we were surprised with nature's beauty and the silence and peace that Swartskaap offers. This time it was after the big rain and we experienced Drøe Kloof full of water for the first time. The house and facilities were again spotless and tidy with everything you need. The weather cooperated and we lay on blankets and stargazed until late at night. Absolutely unforgettable!

Close to nature.
Beautiful location at the top of the Matjiesvlei valley, lovely place to sleep with a fully equipped house with everything and more you need to have a good time — even WiFi to communicate with the outside world if you wanted! Nice big covered barbecue area. Pristine surroundings to walk around. We come again.

Had a wonderful time in nature.
The road was an adventure in itself until you reach this oasis on a very hot day. If I may make a recommendation; cooler summer linens and an advance list that guests can bring, soap in bathroom, cooking oil, milk, flash etc. Otherwise it was delicious. Thank you.

Wonderful overnight stay in the Black Mountains.
Beautiful guest farm deep in Matjiesvlei, but there is only one problem - the location is not as shown on the map! The guest house has everything you need and is beautiful and tidy. It is a beautiful setting with olive groves and a lot of bacon trees.

Although there is WiFi, there is no mobile phone signal and if Eskom cuts the power, then no WiFi either. Not the customer's fault, but just mentioning if someone might need to signal. Still had a good time despite signal and Eskom.

Excellent, peaceful getaway in the Swartberge with a breathtaking view.
The route to the place is just misleading and may bother some visitors if they travel there with a sedan vehicle. Goodnight please indicate this correctly to avoid any confusion. The exit is 7 km tarmac road out onto the R62 in a westerly direction from Calitzdorp. Then you drive on a narrow stony dirt road between the mountains for approximately another 13 km to Droë Kloof where the house is located at the bottom of the Swartberg's foot. The journey can take up to 20 min. Really believe that the advertising of the gem could be done better. Really 4-5 star quality.
