Guest Reviews
- Stijn (10/5): -
- nickaH1873NM (10/5): Excellent stay - What a lovely place and very kind host. Authentic and incredible nice host. We can recommend this for a stay with your damily
- Rosina (7/5): Good value for money - Lovely location and spacious room Wooden floors walls and ceiling, all creaked a lot, especially through the night.
- Loulene (10/5): Thoughtful hostess beautiful homely environment. - Beautiful authentic historical home.
- david (9/5): -
- Francesca (10/5): -
- Ken (10/5): Really nice stay in a beautiful old South African town - Great old home, lots of South African charm
- Ricardo (10/5): - I arrived very late, starving to my surprise the town restaurants were closed but the host dashed into action with a simple toast and avocado plus fruit... just the care made my stay worth choosing them for the overnight the breakfast was very tasty too. It's great to find simple care and humanity in a place, worth every cent to stay over in Swellendam and start the day fresh again.
- Johann (10/5): Een terugkeer waard - Deze prachtige accommodatie was uit het verleden bekend. Ook nu weer hebben genoten we een grote gastvrijheid. Het is een terug keer waard. Geen negatieve observaties.
- Jeanne-Marie (8/5): Central location in historic home with welcoming hostess - Wonderful central position within walking distance to many excellent restaurants.
- Michael (9/5): -
- Nicole (10/5): Sehr aufmerksame und freundliche Unterkunft. Unkompliziert. Wären gerne länger geblieben - Sehr geschmackvoll und charmant eingerichtet Und hat alles gefallen
- Lee (10/5): - The property is absolutely beautiful and very well maintained by the staff. The owner makes you feel at home and relaxed. Would definitely stay again and for longer next time.
- G (8/5): -
- Shirley (8/5): Nice stay - Spacious room with comfortable bed. We slept well. The lady that did breakfast was knowledgeable about my dietary requirements and provided a tasty gluten free breakfast and understood about the need to reduce cross contamination. I was a bit concerned when I arrived that having previously communicated with the owner about my dietary requirements, she was unaware of having agreed that she could provide a gluten free breakfast.
- Martin (10/5): Very comfortable and enjoyable stay. - The property is beautifully presented, clean and has everything you need. It is run by very friendly owners who made us feel relaxed and very comfortable from minute one. Perfect hosts. Nothing. We liked it all !
- Polis (10/5): Super - Vraiment super. 3 chambres confortables, un espace très sympa avec vue sur les terrasses. Et un petit déjeuner fait maison avec toutes les options possibles.
- Louise (8/5): An extremely generously sized accommodation with wonderful hosts - Antone was a wonderful host, even ensuring a special birthday surprise for our daughter. We stayed in the cottage which was extremely spacious with three bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. Whilst we didn’t self cater, the property looked to be fully stocked. Unfortunately the weather meant we didn’t have the opportunity to use the pool, but it looked very appealing. Breakfast was plentiful and made to order. The property was ideal for our two night stay in Swellendam. With the benefit of hindsight two nights in Swellendam was too long for us and one night on the way through to the Garden Route would have been suffice.
- Klaus (10/5): Sehr gute Unterkunft in gepflegter Umgebung - Sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Zimmer.Der Charakter des historischen Gebäudes ist voll erhalten. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Das Auto kann im eingezäunten Bereich sicher geparkt werden
- Wilfried (10/5): 10 Punkte mit Sternchen! - Wir haben den Aufenthalt in De Oude Pastorie sehr genossen. Das sehr schöne ehemalige Pfarrhaus im kolonialen Stil liegt nahe am Stadtkern (15 Minuten zu Fuß). Es ist von einem parkähnlichen sehr gepflegten Garten umgeben. Der Poolbereich ist sehr schön gestaltet! Das Zimmer, das wir im Haupthaus hatten war sehr geräumig und schön gestaltet. Der Service in dieser Unterkunft war außergewöhnlich gut! Das Frühstück war sehr reichhaltig, lecker und konnte individuelle gestaltet werden. Unsre Gastgeberin gab uns sehr gute Tipps für Ausflüge und Aktivitäten sowie Restaurantempfehlungen. Ein wirklich sehr gutes Restaurant war nur weniger 100 Meter von de Oude Pastorie entfernt. Auch der Supermarkt Pick and Pay war auch nur einige 100 Meter entfernt. Wir können die Unterkunft nur wärmstens empfehlen. Im Übrigen ist Swellendam eine Reise Wert! NICHTS!!!
- warren (9/5): - Lovely spacious room and bathroom
- Jeroen (10/5): Prachtig - Het prachtige oude gebouw, de zeer ruime authentieke kamer. De enorm vriendelijke mensen, behulpzaam en zorgzaam. Alles was top
- Sybille (10/5): Tolle Unterkunft in einem historischen Haus mit liebevoller Betreuung und fantastischem Frühstück. - Wunderschönes altes Haus, sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, riesiges Zimmer, liebevolle Gastgeberin, das Frühstück war fantastisch! Alles bestens
- Braun (10/5): - Liebevoll eingerichtet, sehr aufmerksame und hilfsbereite Gastgeber
- Theo (8/5): Wohnen in historischem Ambiente. - Tolles Ambiente, Haus, Garten,, Pool und Zimmer. Zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Mit Ausnahme der steilen und schmalen Treppe die ins Obergeschoss führt, wo die beiden tollen Zimmer liegen, nichts. Der Sohn des Hauses war uns beim Tragen der Koffer aber behilflich.
- Felicia (9/5): Perfect for our needs - A very beautiful colonial-style complex with very friendly hosts. The guest house is wonderfully furnished and offers plenty of space - even for far more than three people.
- Cécile (10/5): Das de Oude Pastorie ist ein Bijou! - Das alte Pfarrhaus ist ein Bijou. Grosse Zimmer, schöne alte Möbel. Tolles Frühstück! Die herzliche Gastgeberin hat uns für den Abend ein Restaurant reserviert. Es war eines der besten Essen auf unserer Reise durch Südafrika. Das Haus kann ich nur empfehlen. Dass man am Abend nicht zu Fuss z.B. zum Restaurant gehen kann. Unsicher. Aber das ist ja normal in Südafrika.
- Karen (10/5): Vi havde et skønt ophold og kan varmt anbefale et par dage i byen og i De Oude Pastorie. - Fredfyldte omgivelser hvor man følte sig rigtig hjemme. Hyggeligt gammelt hus med en masse atmosfære og utroligt søde og hjælpsomme værter.
- Carol (10/5): Would have stayed longer if we hadn't had somewhere else to go. - Terrific welcome, which rather set the tone for our (brief) stay. Splendid room at the top of the house, with very thoughtful provisions. Delightful landlord and helpful staff. Highly recommend this place.
- Nicole (10/5): -
- David (10/5): It felt like I was home - The property has a very unique and vintage feel Nothing
- NICK (10/5): Lovely house full of charm with a warm welcome. - Beautiful old house, full of character, Room was very large with the largest bathroom! Large balcony. Great facilities in room and lovely pool. Very tasty freshly cooked breakfast and Johan was an amazing host , nothing was too much trouble ! Even found us a couple of cold beers after our long drive. Lovely Osterich restaurant down the road. Nothing really , some may find the wood panelling too much , I thought it added to the charm of the age of the property.
- Erik Wiegant (9/5): Prima - Het ontbijt is zeer goed. De locatie is uitstekend. Het licht op de kamer is matig.
- Linda (10/5): Wonderful stay in historical house - A beautiful guesthouse, breathing history, with a very kind and helpful host Antoneia. The rooms in the guesthouse are huge, plenty of space, full option bathroom, everything is perfect. The terrace by the room is very big and has comfy lounge chairs to sit in. You can choose (long list !) what you want to have for breakfast. Top quality. Nice pool. Restaurants within walking distance, Swellendam is absolutely worth a stop when you travel in the Western Cape. Do not hesitate to book the Oude Pastorie….
- Paul (9/5): -
- SH (10/5): - Das alte Pfarrhaus hat einen ganz besonderen Flair. Die Gastgeberin und ihr Personal waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Auswahl zum Frühstück war toll. Alles in allem ein toller Aufenthalt.....🥰 /
- Corinna (10/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Highly recommended stay in Swellendam - Lots of character and charm. Our host Antoné couldn’t have been more friendly - to the extent of kindly picking us up from the local restaurant. Breakfast was superb
- Henk (9/5): We had a enjoyable stay at this guesthouse, allowing us to get to know Swellendam in its historical context. - Nice old house with historical touch, especially the indoor decoration and furniture. House is locaties in nice premises. Enthousiastic and helpful landlady and Nice staff. Not applicable
- Thomas (10/5): - Super Frühstück, sehr gutes und aufmerksames Personal! Unser Mietwagen wurde nach der langen Offroad-Fahrt unaufgefordert gereinigt. Vielen Dank! Alles OK!
- Tara (9/5): -
- Beulah (10/5): -
- Victoria (10/5): - Friendly owners, beautiful period property
- Dmitry (10/5): Amazing old style place! - Lovely private hotel in the old, historical building. Great atmosphere and very supportive local staff. Owners of the place are amazing! The draught in the area in January 2026. Using the pool and water was limited.
- Louise (9/5): - De ruimte en de mooie engelse inrichting de hartelijke ontvangst.
- Paula (5/5): Niet voor ons! - De kamer is ruim. Het is oud, muf, piept en kraakt. Je moet er van houden. We zouden 2 nachten blijven, maar zowel de Pastorie als Swellendam kon ons niet bekoren. Na 1 nacht met gierende gympen vertrokken.
- Bernadette (8/5): - Prachtige sfeervolle locatie en bijzonder aardige gastheer
- Carmen (9/5): Mooi pand en zalig ontbijt - Prachtig gebouw met veel historische elementen. Kamer zijn in stijl ingericht, met alle comfort die je kunt bedenken.
- Roxanne (9/5): Eigenlijk zonde om maar 1 nacht te verblijven - Prachtig chalet met veel ruimte binnen en een heerlijke buitenruimte. Veel zitjes rondom het huis. Heerlijk ontbijt. X
- Stefan (10/5): -
- Roland (8/5): Herzliches willkommen! - sehr freundlicher Empfang, grosszügige Unterkunft, zentrale Lage (Nahe von Einkaufszentrum und Restaurants) etwas laut (Strassenlärm von der Strasse her)
- Christopher (9/5): Well located, friendly and comfortable. - The Cottage was comfortable, well equipped with lots of outdoor space. Johann, Eloné and her team were most hospitable and welcoming. Breakfasts were good.
- npetilon (10/5): Great place great breakfast - We had such a lovely time at the oude pastorie: warm welcome, great room With terrace, did a dive into the pool and enjoyed the best breakfast ever
- du Plessis (10/5): Warm, welcoming, clean and serene. - The room and furniture.
- Wendy (10/5): De Oude Pastorie in Oudtshoorn is een sfeervolle en bijzondere plek met een prachtige veranda, een heerlijk zwembad en e - Wat ons het meest beviel aan De Oude Pastorie in Oudtshoorn is de bijzondere sfeer en warme gastvrijheid. De accommodatie is prachtig gelegen en heeft een sfeervolle veranda waar je heerlijk kunt ontspannen. Ook het zwembad is een groot pluspunt, vooral na een lange dag rijden — een fijne plek om even af te koelen en tot rust te komen. De Oude Pastorie is een ideale tussenstop op de Garden Route en voelt direct als een plek waar alles klopt. De gastvrouw en eigenaresse is ongelooflijk vriendelijk en vrolijk, en doet er alles aan om het je naar de zin te maken. Haar gastvrijheid maakt het verblijf extra speciaal. Het ontbijt is heerlijk en goed verzorgd en gedurende het hele verblijf ontbrak het ons aan niets. Een charmante, comfortabele accommodatie waar je je meteen welkom voelt en die we zonder twijfel aan anderen zouden aanraden. Geen
- Marieke (10/5): -
- Jolanda (10/5): Meest charmante stop-over verblijf tijdens onze road trip -
- Dennis (10/5): Lovely stay with wonderful people, it was too short - Only good things about De Oude Pastorie, the location, the stay itself, but above all about Antoné and Johann. Hospitality at its finest — thank you for also welcoming our daughter so spontaneously.” We had a perfect stay!
- Emma (10/5): Outstanding guest house! - This beautiful guest house was absolutely outstanding. The owners and staff were so accommodating, friendly and welcoming. The house and gardens itself were stunning. Our rooms were incredible, so comfortable, beautiful and really thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Breakfast was delicious. Bonus were the little furry friends too! Would highly recommend and definitely would return! Honestly, nothing.
- Ralf (10/5): - Die Gastgeber sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer sind urig, passend zum alten Pfarrhaus. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und reichhaltig. Insgesamt ein sehr schöner und gelungener Aufenthalt. P.S. wir waren sogar 3 Nächte hier und es wurde uns in und rund um Swellendam nicht langweilig
- Gabriela Staeuble (8/5): Würden wieder kommen! - Die Gastgeber sind hilfsbereit und nett, geben top Empfehlungen für den Restaurant-Besuch, auch in Fussdistanz. Das Frühstück ist sehr lecker und jeder Wunsch wird erfüllt. Das Guesthouse ist alt, grosszügig und an einer guten Lage. Die Sicherheit stimmt.
- Wolfgang (9/5): Empfehlenswerte Unterkunft in Swellendam - Sehr schönes saniertes Pfarrhaus. Mit viel Liebe im alten Stil neu hergerichtet in einer bezaubernden Gartenanlage mit größerem Pool.l Äußerst freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Hervorragendes Frühstück. Die Betten waren zu kurz und zu schmal. Wie früher eben... Es war leider keine Verdunkelung an den schrägen Fenstern zur Straße.
- Janine (10/5): Wunderschöne Unterkunft mit Pool und Dackeln - Wir haben für zwei Nächte mit vier Personen das Cottage gemietet. Das Haus und das ganze Anwesen ist wunderschön und mit viel Liebe zum Detail gestaltet. Auch der Garten mit Pool ist toll bepflanzt und man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Ein besonderes Highlight für uns waren die Dackel :) die Gastgeber sind sehr sympathisch und das Frühstück, das wir extra dazugebucht hatten, war sehr lecker und vielfältig und wurde für jeden individuell auf Wunsch zubereitet. Ein großer Supermarkt ist gleich nebenan. Wir wären gern noch länger geblieben!
- jamiechooper (10/5): A home from home when visiting the lovely town of Swellandam - We cannot praise the De Oude Pastorie too highly. Johannes was a great communicator, and also recommended us booking a local restaurant in advance. He booked us a table at the nearby Chantelle’s Bistro, where we had a memorable meal. We had very large and comfortable room in the main house. It had an en-suite that had both a comfortable bath and spacious shower cubicle. There were, in addition, in one room, comfortable lounge chairs, a small settee and a writing desk. One felt you were a guest in a grand house. Johannes’ eldest son took our heavy suitcases both from our car to the room and when we left. We enjoyed a superb breakfast next morning, cooked by Eunice, on a well laid out table, fit for a King. Johannes is a very interesting man who enjoys meeting visitors passing through the country town of Swellandam. Try to visit the Drostdy museum complex at the eastern end of town, which gives a comprehensive understanding of how the Cape developed from the times of the Dutch East India Company to the First World War. In the centre of town, the dazzling large white Kerk should not be missed, you can view the interior where pews in a semicircular setting can seat over 1400 worshippers. We hope to return one day to see more of the Overbergs and look forward to staying again at this lovely home stay.
- Jamie (10/5): Johannes made so really welcome. A great start to our holiday. - Beautiful period property, spacious. Well equipped bathroom with hot water. Slept really well. Eunice served an excellent breakfast. Nothing
- Sebastian (10/5): This place is just beautiful! We will bokk a longer stay next time, thanks a lot! -
- Amy (10/5): -
- Donna Lisa (9/5): -
- Sebastian (8/5): Schöne Unterkunft, aber mit Abstrichen verbunden. - Freundliche Gastgeberin. Schönes Zimmer. Tolles Badezimmer. Gutes Frühstück. Das Zimmer im Haupthaus können wir leider nicht empfehlen. Sehr hellhörig. Um 7 Uhr frühs zieht leider der Geruch aus der Küche von unten in das Zimmer hoch. Kaffeegeruch ist ja noch angenehm, aber gebratene Zwiebeln müssen nicht unbedingt so früh sein. Zimmer lässt sich leider nicht ganz abdunklen. So ist man sehr früh wach. Auch die Lage direkt an der Hauptstraße ist nicht optimal.
- Nora (10/5): Fabelhaft - Das Zimmer im alten Haus, die Inhaber mit tollen Tipps und die Hunde Nichts
- Rainer (10/5): -
- Linda (10/5): Absolutely perfect stay in a beautiful home - Perfect in every way Nothing but perfection
- ryckgenis (10/5): Stay at De Oude Pastorie Guesthouse - Very spacious, comfortable rooms set in large, parkland like grounds with manicured gardens. Friendly hosts showing genuine care, offering complimentary drinks upon arrival and personalized recommendations of local attractions. Breakfast was a treat concluding an overall very pleasant stay.
- Marcel (10/5): -

- Ben Brooks (10/5): -
- Brigitte (9/5): Voor herhaling vatbaar - Super ontbijt, leuke en betrokken hosts, goede bedden, prachtige plek.
- Petra (10/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Wir hatten das große Cottage mit großer Küche. Sehr gutes Frühstück im Haupthaus. Sehr schöner Garten mit Pool.
- Sandra (10/5): -
- Geoff Eley (10/5): Quality stay in a beautiful setting - We had the huge cottage in the grounds, could accommodate at least 6 people, very well equipped kitchen with masses of everything you could imagine, even several pack of coffee. Loved the fire, they had fire lighters and wood all ready, excellent. There was a BBQ outside as well. Breakfast in the main house was very good indeed and the lady was loverly. The swimming pool looked very inviting but the weather was just too cold on our stay. Antoné the owner was very helpful with very good comms'. All good
- Anseley (9/5): -
- Eunice (10/5): Good memories in Swellendam - This is the most beautiful accommodation. The attention to detail is amazing. We enjoyed every minute of our stay! Everything was in perfect condition. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful garden and view!
- Oscar (8/5): Gute Unterkunft. Empfehlenswert! - Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Etwas altmodisch vielleicht, aber mit ganz eigenen Charme. Nette Gastgeber und ein gutes Frühstück. Durch die vielen Antiquitäten wirkt alles etwas schwermütig.
- Melody (10/5): I would certainly stay here in the futurei - The breakfast was superb. The old personage oozed old world charm, but had every modern amenity.
- Mustafa Esat (9/5): -
- Ruan (10/5): -
- Salva_Vida (10/5): - Riesiges gemütliches Zimmer im Obergeschoss (Pastorie Suite). Schon vor der Anreise hat uns die Gastgeberin kontaktiert mit allen Infos und uns für den Abend ein Restaurant reserviert. Toller Service :-) Frühstück sehr lecker und frisch zubereitet. Wir haben viele Tips für die Weiterfahrt erhalten. Leider waren wir nur eine Nacht hier, es gäbe in der Umgebung noch vieles zu sehen und zu geniessen.
- Peter (10/5): Exceptional Stay - Exceptional all round experience. Attentive & friendly hosts who go the extra mile . The accommodation itself cannot be faulted ... It way exceeded our expectations with significant attention to deal given . This is 10/10. Nothing
- Reinout (9/5): -
- Judith (10/5): - The Hostess made me feel so welcome & was so helpful. Bedroom & bathroom were amazing with thoughtful extra touches! Grounds beautiful! Breakfast was plentiful & delicious! Nothing
- fezekamabusela (10/5): Gem in the center of swellendam - From the manicured grounds, the friendly face that welcomes you to the royal bedrooms where attention to every decor detail was applied. This is more than an accommodation establishment, it's an experience on its own.
- Isabel Maria da (10/5): - Excelente location; Friendly owners and staff; General feeling of coziness and warmth. Nothing to declare. All was excellent.
- Martin (9/5): Prachtige plek! -

We hope To come back soon

- Stéphane (8/5): Un logement confortable et bien placé, l’accueil à revoir - Confortable et très bien placé. Le petit déjeuner. on a attendu 20mn devant la porte de l’établissement avant qu’on nous ouvre enfin le portail, pas de réponse au téléphone. Et au final un accueil expédié.
- grantbh16 (10/5): Home sweet home. - What a fantastic experience on my first night in South Africa. My room was clean, tidy and very comfortable. It had that country charm. After a long flight from Australia and a short drive from Cape Town, it was the perfect way to start my holiday. Had a relaxing bath to soak my weary body after all that travel. Shops and restaurants are within walking distance. After a great night's sleep, my host presented me with a delicious big country breakfast. Set me off on the right track for my next adventure to the Garden Route.
- Grant (10/5): Exceptional - They made me feel at home
