It is located in a quiet area and we were able to sleep warm on the cold night with enough blankets and electric blankets too. The apartment is large with 2 separate rooms and bathrooms and is comfortably furnished. The kitchenette is well equipped with what is needed for a light dinner and breakfast.

Smoke smell in place spoiled it!
Plekkie has everything needed for a night's stay BUT there was a smell of smoke from previous guests in the place. We didn't check in until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. If the house's windows and doors had been properly left open from 10:00 a.m. when previous guests left, there would have been drafts of air and much less smell of smoke. There are burglar bars in front of all the windows which made this possible. It has not been done. On our arrival, doors and windows were all closed. We don't smoke and found it awful.

My husband and I were in Swellendam for a wedding. We stayed two nights and the place is so nice and private. We spent nice lazy days in front of the fireplace while the storm rained outside. There was more than enough wood at no cost. The full DSTV and WiFi was a bonus. Everything was very neat and there was everything needed for a nice visit. We were kindly received.

We had a wonderful stay in the well-equipped Garden Cottage. For those who enjoy playing pool and darts while having a braai, this is the ideal spot. We just would have liked soap in every shower. Fortunately, we had our own. The beds are comfortable and Anel made sure we had enough blankets for the cold evenings. There is no storage or hanging space in the second bedroom and the bathroom is also tiny, but you don't need anything more.

We had a very nice stay. The place is easy to find. There is secure parking. The place is spacious and well appointed. We had some adventure with a stove that kept kicking the power off even when everything else in the unit was off. There is a delicious barbecue area and chickens that come to greet you early in the morning. Be careful, the curtains are transparent. You might put on a show for someone. We had a wonderful stay even if it was only one night.
