Breathtaking surroundings, comfortable and spacious accommodation and delicious food.
We lived wonderfully among the Swartberge. The unit is spacious and comfortable and the beds sleep well. The option to grill inside or outside is also nice. The lawn and space around the house was just what the kids needed after a day in the car. Plus, the food we ordered was top notch!

Convenient for an overnight stop.
The cottage is neat and clean, but still slightly strangely furnished. The one room is next to the kitchen, but the wall is not built up to the roof, with the result that it is very noisy in the room if someone is busy in the kitchen. Also, it is not the person handling the bookings who receives you; and the lady was not aware that we had added an extra guest to the reservation 2 weeks in advance. But beyond that it was comfortable for a one night stay - the built in braai is perfect for the windy Cape weather, and the view was beautiful! They are pet friendly, but please note that the cottage is not fenced for a puppy and your pet just needs to be watched so they don't disappear along the way.

Good overnight stop before Swartberg Pass.
The location is good, with 360 degree view of the mountains. Views really very beautiful. Unit spacious and well equipped. However, there is no permanent power applied. They rely on solar power but during our visit there was a fault and we were without power for half of our time there. Water also doesn't work when power is off, so we couldn't shower in the morning. Probably not always the case, but I see other reviews have mentioned this as well. The roof in the living room was leaking. Also, be aware that you don't have a lot of privacy. Our front door was right by the restaurant so many customers walked by to see the view or to walk their dogs. It's also where there is smoking, so not very pleasant.

Needs some TLC.
Swartberg Pass Cottages was unfortunately not our favorite place on our holiday. The cottages are built close together and you can hear your neighbor snoring. The restaurant is right next to the cottages and the guests walk and park in front of your entrance - there is no fence around your cottage for pets. The unit uses solar power, which is a strong point for me, but when there is not enough power, a noisy generator is turned on. There are wood-boring beetles in the slatted roof that make small piles of dust everywhere in the cottage (in the kitchen, dining area, bedrooms etc.). The coffee cups and cutlery are chipped/broken which makes them unhygienic. The beds were very nice and comfortable, the showers were nice and hot with good pressure. The decor was pleasant and I hope Swartberg Pass Cottages makes an effort to use people's feedback to improve their facilities. It is located in a perfect location for exploring the Swartberg Pass and the surrounding areas.

It was very cold, but the indoor braai and plenty of warm blankets made up for it. The hospitality of the owner and all his workers (and the delicious grilled cakes) means that you will brave any cold. This is the ideal place to get to the snow quickly before all the other people arrive.

Swartberg Pass Cottages left much to be desired. Accommodation was not great, food not as expected and somewhat noisy neighbours.
The description on the website indicates luxury accommodation. It's definitely not luxury! One of the bathrooms' showers did not work. The braai wood was wet. No fire lighters. I had to use my own which I luckily had. Our egg paddle did not have a handle. No indication on the website that the cottages are completely off the grid. No power between ten thirty in the evening and eight thirty the next morning. Annoying guests with loud music. All these things have unfortunately completely spoiled the beautiful surroundings and views.

Had a wonderful stay.
Due to its exceptional location, Swartberg Pass Cottages is a very special place to stay. One practically has a 300° view of the mountains around you. The R328 leads one through the beautiful valley until close to the Kango Caves. On the trail we even encountered a red cat. The cottage is comfortable and furnished with good taste. It offers everything for an effortless overnight stay. The fact that Kobus' Gat Restaurant is nearby makes it convenient for barbecues or eating out. The staff were very hospitable and helpful.

Pleasant people, beautiful neat comfortable accommodation.
The units are at the crossroads of the Swartberg Pass and the back road to Calitzdorp. Ideally located especially in times of snow. We were not so lucky, but got enough cold to appreciate Innocent's fire. Then the house was nice and warm even though it was the middle of winter and there is enough space outside for children to get rid of energy. Thank you very much for a lovely stay.
