Asemrowende omgewing, gerieflike en ruim verblyf en heerlike kos.

Ons het heerlik tussen die Swartberge gewoon. Die eenheid is ruim en gerieflik en die beddens slaap lekker. Die opsie om binne of buite te braai is ook lekker. Die grasperk en spasie rondom die huis was net wat die kinders nodig gehad het na 'n dag in die kar. Boonop was die kos wat ons bestel het uit die boonste rakke!

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!

Word een met natuur.

Dit was baie lekker en so stil mens word een met die natuur daar. Lekker met die restaurant op die perseel en dit maak 16H00 toe, dan is dit doodstil.

Perfek!

Wow! Wat 'n plek! Ons was mal oor die plekkie! Rustig en stil en perfek. Die ingeboude braai het lekker gewerk. Ek kan dit regtig aanbeveel vir enige iemand! Al waaroor ons spyt is, is dat ons nie langer kon bly en vir die kat kon saamvat huistoe nie!

Ruim, netjies verblyf - verwagtinge oortref.

Cottages was baie skoon en toegerus met alles wat mens mag nodig hê. Ons het gereël vir 'n braaipak met aankoms en was so verras toe die braaipak nog 2 slaaie, pampoenkoekies en roosterbrood ook insluit - was heerlik. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Gerieflik vir 'n oornagstop.

Die cottage is netjies en skoon, maar tog effens vreemd ingerig. Die een kamer is langs die kombuis, maar die muur is nie tot teen die dak gebou nie, met die gevolg dat dit baie raas in die kamer as iemand in die kombuis besig is. Ook, is dit nie die persoon wat die besprekings hanteer wat jou ontvang nie; en die dame was nie bewus dat ons 'n ekstra gas by die bespreking bygesit het 2 weke voor die tyd nie. Maar verder as dit was dit gerieflik vir 'n een aand oornag - die ingeboude braai is perfek vir die Kaapse winderige weer, en die uitsig was pragtig! Hulle is troeteldiervriendelik, maar let wel dat die cottage nie omhein is vir 'n hondjie nie en jou troeteldier net dopgehou moet word dat hulle nie padlangs verdwyn nie.

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.

Goeie oornagplek voor Swartbergpas.

Die ligging is goed, met 360 grade uitsig op die berge. Uitsigte regtig baie mooi. Eenheid ruim en goed toegerus. Daar is egter nie permanent krag aangelê nie. Hul maak staat op sonkrag maar tydens ons besoek was daar fout en was ons vir die helfte van ons tyd daar sonder krag. Water werk ook nie as krag af is nie, so ons kon die oggend nie stort nie. Seker nie altyd die geval nie, maar ek sien ander resensies het dit ook genoem. Die dak in sitkamer het gelek. Wees ook bedag daarop dat jy nie baie privaatheid het nie. Ons voordeur was reg by die restaurant so talle kliënte het daar verbygeloop om die uitsig te sien of om hul honde 'n draai te laat loop. Dis ook waar daar gerook word, so nie baie aangenaam nie.

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.

Benodig bietjie TLC.

Swartberg Pass Cottages was ongelukkig nie ons gunsteling plek op ons vakansie nie. Die kothuise is aanmekaar gebou en jy kan jou buurman hoor snork. Die restaurant is reg langs die kothuise en die gaste stap en parkeer voor jou ingang - daar is geen heining om jou kothuis vir troeteldiere nie. Die eenheid maak gebruik van sonskrag, wat vir my 'n sterkpunt is, maar wanneer daar nie genoeg krag is nie, word 'n lawaaierige generator aangesit. Daar is houtboorkewers in die lattedak wat orals in die kothuis klein hopies stof maak (in die kombuis, eetarea, slaapkamers ens.). Die koffiebekers en eetgerei is gechip/gebreuk wat dit onhigiënies maak. Die beddens was baie lekker en gemaklik, die storte was lekker warm met goeie drukking. Die dekor was aangenaam en ek hoop Swartberg Pass Cottages doen moeite om mense se terugvoer te gebruik om hul fasiliteite te verbeter. Dit is op 'n perfekte plek geleë om die Swartbergpas en die omringende areas te verken.

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.

What a great stay!

What a great stay! Our cottage overlooked the Swartberg Mountains. We enjoyed the "entertainment" area of the cottage with a built-in braai and everything else that we needed. We enjoyed a great breakfast before our trip down to the Gamkaskloof (The Hell).

Sneeukyk voorsprong.

Dit was baie koud, maar die binnebraai en oorgenoeg warm komberse het opgemaak daarvoor. Die gasvryheid van die eienaar en al sy werkers (en die heerlike roosterkoeke) maak dat mens enige koue sal trotseer. Dit is die ideale plekkie om vinnig by die sneeu uit te kom voor al die ander mense opdaag.

Snow-watching lead.

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.

Relaxing stay over the Swartberg.

Situated on the Oudtshoorn side of the Swartberg, just as you come off the pass. The room was nice, but did not have aircon which I assume is because the cottage is off grid.

Swartberg Pass Cottages het veel te wense gelaat. Akkommodasie was nie great nie, kos nie soos verwag nie en effe lawaaierige bure.

Die beskrywing op die website dui luukse verblyf aan. Dit is vir seker nie luuks nie! Een van die badkamers se storte het nie gewerk nie. Die braaihout was nat. Geen vuuraanstekers nie. Ek moes my eie gebruik wat ek gelukkig gehad het. Ons eierspaan het nie 'n handvatsel gehad nie. Geen aanduiding op die website dat die cottages heeltemal van die grid af is nie. Geen krag tussen halftien in die aand en halfagt die volgende oggend nie. Lastige gaste met harde musiek. Al hierdie dinge het ongelukkig die pragtige omgewing en uitsigte heeltemal gespoil.

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.

Heerlik gebly.

Swartberg Pass Cottages is vanweë die uitsonderlike ligging 'n baie spesiale oornagplek. 'n Mens het feitlik 'n 300°-uitsig op die berge rondom jou. Die R328 lei 'n mens deur die pragtige vallei tot digby die Kangogrotte. Op die roete het ons selfs 'n rooikat teëgekom. Die kothuisie is gerieflik en met goeie smaak toegerus. Dit bied alles om moeiteloos te oornag. Die feit dat Kobus se Gat Restaurant naby is, maak dit gerieflik vir braai of uiteet. Die personeel was baie gasvry en behulpsaam.

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.

Twee dae en nagte sonder ligte en krag en die poeding is die asemrowende uitsig.

Daar was nie altyd elektrisiteit nie. Hulle gaan groen met sonkrag. Baie eenvoudig en leersaam.

Two days and nights without lights and power and the pudding is the breathtaking view.

There was not always electricity. They go green with solar power. Very simple and instructive.

'n Aangename ervaring.

Ons verblyf was aangenaam en die omgewing is baie mooi. Daar was 'n aanvanklike verwarring oor die huisie wat bespreek is, maar Swartberg huisies se mense het uit hulle pad gegaan om alles reg te stel.

Pragtige plekkie met die mooiste uitsig op die berge.

Ons het heerlik gebly, baie dankie. Kan Swartberg Pass Cottages definitief aanbeveel en sal weer daar gaan bly. Ons het 'n beursie daar vergeet wat Swartberg onder ons aandag gebring het. Hulle het ook gehelp om die beursie via Postnet weer terug te besorg. Een van my hoogtepunte was die Border Collie, Milo, wat elke aand by ons voor die vuur geslaap het.

We had a wonderful stay, thank you very much. Can definitely recommend Swartberg Pass Cottages and will stay there again. We forgot a wallet there, which Swartberg brought to our attention. They also helped to return the wallet via Postnet. One of my highlights was the Border Collie, Milo, who slept with us in front of the fire every night.

Aangename mense, pragtige netjiese gemaklike verblyf.

Die eenhede is op die kruispad van die Swartberg Pas en die agterpad Calitzdorp toe. Ideaal geleë veral in tye van sneeu. Ons was nie so gelukkig nie, maar het genoeg koue gekry om Innocent se vuur te waardeer. Dan was die huisie lekker warm al was dit middel winter en daar is genoeg spasie buite vir kinders om van energie ontslae te raak. Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike verblyf.

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.

Baie dankie vir jou mooi boodskap. Innocent is voorwaar 'n regte staatmaker as dit by sy vuurmaak en hartlike persoonlikheid kom. Dit is nou 'n jammerte dat julle die sneeu gemis het, maar hopenlik sien ons julle binnekort weer met die volgende sneeu wat val.

Great service, beautifully finished cottages with a spectacular view! Highly recommended. Perfect spot to base as a day trip into Die Hell.

We (3 adults) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Protea Cottage. Even when arriving past 10 pm, we were greeted with friendly service. Innocent helped us carry our belongings into the cottage and even had the fire already lit and waiting for us. And as soon as we arrived back from our outings the next day, we received the same friendly enthusiastic service. The cottage is prepared with all the comforts you'd expect. (Complimentary teas, coffee, sugar and milks. Even the firewood and Blitz). There are ample fresh towels, and soft linens, all decorated with strategically placed flowers. Chantel contacted us before arrival to make sure we had all the necessary information and knew exactly where to go. Highly recommend staying here.

The location and everything was excellent and we enjoyed our stay.

The only drawback was a few crickets in the unit but no other complaints. The venue, amenities, atmosphere, ease of booking etc. was excellent.

Swartberg Pass Cottages 's response

Dear Johann

Thank you for the message. We apologize about the crickets, it is the first time that we have negative feedback about the crickets. It is a farm environment and some things (like the crickets) we cannot always control.

We do hope that you will visit us again soon!

Mooiste uitsig en fantastiese mense.

Lieflike huisies langs die Swartberge. Pragtige sonsondergang en rustige atmosfeer. Cottages is mooi, skoon en ons het lekkerste braaipakke gekry met slaai, pampoenkoekies en roosterkoek. Kos was uit die boeke, lekkerste lamstjops ooit! Innocent het vir ons groot vuur gebou en aangebied om te braai. So welkom gevoel en sal enige tyd aanbeveel.

Lovely cottages along the Swartberge. Beautiful sunset and peaceful atmosphere. Cottages are beautiful, clean and we have the best breads with salad, pumpkin cakes and flannel cake. Food was top notch, most delicious lamb chops ever! Innocent built a great fire for us and offered to braai. Felt so welcome and will recommend it any time.

Lekker stil en rustig.

Aanvanklik was daar iewers 'n misverstand of iets, want toe ons arriveer was die personeel onbewus van die feit dat ons ingeboek was. Hulle het egter vinnig te werk gespring en als spoedig vir ons reg gekry. Baie vriendelike diens en 'n lieflike plek waar mens kan ontspan in rus en vrede.

At first there was some misunderstanding or something because when we arrived the staff was unaware of the fact that we had checked in. However, they got to work quickly and quickly got everything right for us. Very friendly service and a lovely place where you can relax in peace and quiet.
