Aan de Oever Guesthouse

Stunning quiet bed and breakfast with restaurant where we stayed two nights. We should have stayed four as it is so peaceful and there is so much to do around Swellendam. It has a secure parking area and a swimming pool. Our room was the biggest and most spacious room we have ever slept in 50 years of travelling. It was about 45 square meters. Aan de Spruit. With views to the mountains with a secure fence at the end of the private deck and garden river that gives onto a babbling stream. Birdlife all around. This place is heaven Then the breakfast is immaculate and sumptuous. So much to choose from and wonderful attentive staff. Simply faultless. And we should have stayed longer. And we will be back We walked up to the waterfall. Need good shoes and even if you can’t make it all the way to the waterfall go half way just to experience some African forest and bush. Delightful. 50 rand entrance fee worth it Do not leave without visiting the museum which is a charming collection of old thatched houses. Donation is asked of what you think worthwhile. A gem of a museum showing how the early settlers lived and their forge and mill etc. fabulous and a great tourist information point which strangely is not supported by the town council. Why ever not? This has to be a huge oversight that needs revisited soonest. Swellendam is a gem of a place.

A stop over before heading home after a week in Plettenberg Bay - so as not to undo the relaxing time away and avoiding the drivers wanting to get back to Cape Town in 3 hours. What a wonderful town to stop in and find this wonderful Guest house - helpful staff and breakfasts choices to tempt you to eating to your hearts desire. Can't diet with these choices!!. Everything's well organized and stunning rooms and garden area. Safe secure parking aswell.

From the greeting to the end of the visit the best of the best Franklin, the room staff, breakfast staff and cleaning staff not a disgruntled face all friendly and makes you feel at home. Beautiful and very clean accommodation under the glorious Langenberg Highly recommended

Very nice accommodation immersed in nature.Very nice pool and outdoor area. The breakfast was very good. The room was superb.

We spend 2 nights in Aan De Oever on our trip along the Garden Route. We were not initially planning to visit Swellendam, but we were very happy that we did. Swellendam was amazing and Aan De Oever made the experience even better. De guesthouses/apartments was really nice and cozy and with an amazing view of the mountains. Service including breakfast was really good and the staff even helped us doing a Barbeque in the garden. I can really recommend both Swellendam and Aan De Oever.
