Lots to do there.
Accommodation was very nice and tidy. At least the owner asks in advance before they come to clean and bring new towels. Very peaceful and will book there again on our next trip.

Quiet, friendly and adequate.
The rondavel is adequately equipped, simple and neat. However, the outside area has been neglected. The host was available on WhatsApp and kept us informed.

Good location, quiet.
Was a quick one night 'sleep over' after a hard 3 day/2 night hike in the Drakensberg. The best part was a nice bath & bed with an electric blanket! All the amenities are there, although we used very little. Was neat and clean, thank you very much!

We as a family stayed 4 nights on our way to the South Coast.
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our time at Swallowfield. We could go for a walk, attend a bird of prey show, visit museums, drive around and take in nature, fly a kite, ride a horse, or just have a quiet barbecue and hang out at home with the kids. The area is so beautiful. I will definitely visit again. James is an excellent host and very helpful.

Great time in the beautiful mountains.
The rondavel was beautifully neat and well equipped, we had a wonderful stay and the view and space around is beautiful. It is close to many tourist attractions, hiking trails in the mountain, close to shops to buy food and close to restaurants. The host was friendly and very helpful.

Enjoyable, semi-comfortable, neat and clean.
The only inconvenience we had to some extent was the effect of Eskom's sudden load shedding. The weather hardly cooperated either. The rondavel is clean and tidy and big enough for two people. The dish washing situation at the braai place is a bit impractical. If it rains, you can't wash dishes and the outside light doesn't shine all the way to the sink. These are small foxes, but James' helpfulness and kindness made up for it. The rondavels are good for an overnight stay, but if you want to stay there longer, which I would like to do, you have to rent the house.

James, the owner already let us know early in the morning that our place to stay was ready and that we could arrive at any time. He himself welcomed us and immediately made us feel at home. We enjoyed the time there. The location ideal for getting to many of the activities in the area.

Swallowfield Rondavels has a lot of potential but the facility needs attention.
I don't mind a bath instead of a shower, but then the water has to run out conveniently and completely, especially from a feminine hygiene point of view. I don't mind "rustic" either, but functionality is important - the old fashioned plastic hand shower that has to be moved over the separate faucets slid off together and therefore didn't work either. I doubt if the plastic bars for anti-theft will keep out any burglar or baboon or monkey. A sink for dishes, even if it's just outside, would be very handy seeing as it's marketed as a self-catering facility.

Reception very friendly, but rondavel very cramped and especially the bathroom inside rondavel. I think there is definitely a lot more room for improvement to make it worthwhile for guests.

Very well furnished. Everything one needs. Very centrally located. No need to drive too far to attractions. May provide a TV with channels in the future. But otherwise we had a nice stay and of course the view makes up for everything.

Nice place to just sleep at if you don't intend to braai at the rondavel etc
Is a very neat place. All that one needs. Would recommend to people who don't intend to spend much time at the rondavel but rather just as a place to sleep. Rondawel is just too close for me on the busy road.
