We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle.
We just LOVE Somerset Gift! We stayed in Fish Eagle. From the view and facilities to the helpfulness of the farm mangeress, Tanya, everything was lovely. Tanya went out of her way to make sure that we were comfortable and gave us all a very warm welcome (including the fur kids!). There are beautiful waterfalls and rockpools that you can hike to and there is also a river and a dam with kayaks.
There is a huge indoor fireplace for the winter getaways and a huge undercover outdoor braai with dinner table and chairs. We brought board games, cards and puzzles and had endless laughs around the table.
If I absolutely had to moan about something, it would be the pressure of the shower. It is very low and soft - but! ....honestly we were swimming so much it really wasn't a big thing. I just can't think of anything else that was a negative :-)
The wood fire hot tub outside is a super bonus!
We will definitely be back!

What a surprise awaited us.
What a surprise awaited us. This town has a very warm and relaxed atmosphere and we didn't plan long enough to stay and explore all that it has to offer. A one night stop over was not enough. Colonial and Dutch influences in the architecture and a lovely selection of shops and restaurants and places of historical interest, which we simply didn't have time to see, but will be back to explore.

The TV did not work.
The TV did not work. When we checked it was broken and it looked like the lady hosting us knew about it but did not care to mention that. When we call about this TV not working at night she said I quote "Just press all the buttons until something happens sir" we were shocked! In the morning her apology for this also did not sound sincere as you could tell she was well aware that it does not work. Went to the bathroom at night and when switching on the light the electricity blew and the whole place did not have lights for the rest of the night. When we mentioned this in the morning it was a known issue and they blamed load shedding for it.
My partner was looking forward to swimming the pool was GREEN! and quite clearly not been maintained for years. It is nothing like what you see on the listing, you would be scared to even stick a finger in it. It's the type of dirt that you can't see at the bottom of it. We asked for the bicycles they said we could use on the listing and there were only two bicycles, the one had a flat tire so we couldn't use it. The other one that we had to share was not maintained well and also had a chain locking the whole time. We were just shocked that there are only two bicycles available for guests.
The Restaurant on the other hand was a pleasant experience. The gentleman hosting is very friendly and authentic it's amazing. The food is value for money as well. Had one of the most amazing meals the free breakfast is also good value and a proper meal. Wifi good and the music is lovely and the place all together has nice indoor and outdoor calming seating. We could come back for the dining experience it was exceptional. My partner and I spent the week talking about how calm and authentic the gentlemen hosting us were. He was just an exceptional experience I can't stress enough.
In summary, we would come back to dine definitely!. But to sleep No, don't see how they justify the cost for it as well.

Swellendam is a beautiful little town with a deep history and friendly people. It feels safe to walk around and is inviting to explore. We especially enjoyed the sights, sounds and aromas of the morning market on Saturday.

In the past I always just passed Swellendam on my way to another destination. This time I spent three days and what a beautiful historical town it is, surrounded by the Langeberg mountains. Friendly people and excellent food especially De Vagebond restaurant where we also had the opportunity to watch the rugby during loadshedding and experienced the lovely Ostrich meat dishes!
Gapa house is in a beautiful location with spectacular views. Fred was super accommodating, we arrived with a car packed to the brim and he offered to leave his car outside so that we could park our car in the garage overnight. He also allowed us to check in earlier as we arrived in Swellendam ahead of schedule. He offered to make us a reservation for supper. He suggested the Drostdy restaurant which had great gourmet food and was a short 2 minute drive. Their breakfast basket was delicious and had a wide variety.
At our arrival we were welcomed by the extremely hospitable and friendly owners, who advised us very kindly about the local restaurants and activities in the area.
The room is very spaceous and has great facilities.
With a pool and great garden, the lodge is a perfect accomodation for a relaxing stay
The breakfast with fresh fruits and local products was also very good.
We would highly recommend the Swellendam Country lodge as the ideal accommodation during your Garden Route trip.
The Farm has soo many animals, our daughter loved the chicken, sheep, rabbits, pigs, horses... And of course the more wild animals like wilderbeast, springbok - and the giraffes! We could sit outside and watch the walk around the huge area.
The apartment was nice, clean and had everything we needed for one night.
Willie was very kind and let us harvest some carrots and strawberries. Can definitely recommend, especially when you're traveling with kids.
The accommodation is on a working stud farm with beautiful water features, gardens, walkways, a pool for summer days and a lovely "stoep" for relaxing with your favorite wine and loved ones. The cottage is beautifully decorated with all the facilities needed for a comfy weekend breakaway. Lots to do in surrounding areas too. Thank you, we will definitely be back when the sun is shining!!!!!!
The host was extremely responsive and prompt to reply when we had questions or concerns. She even walked over when we arrived to ensure that we made it to the right house, which can be tricky to find with gps. The farmhouse is a sweet rustic construction, with pretty much everything our family needed for a comfortable stay. Perfect stopping point between Cape Town and the garden route.
The view from the room was incredible. Self catering accommodation, so we decided to take full advantage of the room and nip to the local supermarket for food. We ate on our balcony area and watched the sun set. Staff were also very welcoming and let us use the washing facilities for an extra charge. Room was very spacious and everything needed inside.
This was the most beautiful hotel of our holiday, wonderful room, very nice and spacious layout, opening onto the pool, perfect. It came with the most beautiful bathroom with huge walk-in shower, everything very stylish. very good breakfast. Can only recommend staying there Very friendly owners.
Amazing place in Swellendam.. incredible views of the mountains. This was a beautiful room with a large balcony looking right at the mountains. The room was lovely with plenty of facilities. Lovely soft fluffy towels and also pooll towels. Fabulous location with lots of restaurants close by.
The Apartment was equipped with everything you need . I liked that it had a braai just on the balcony where I stayed.
I enjoyed my stay there. I stayed in quite a few places in Swellendam this past 2 months and this self catering apartment was the best so far.
Really enjoyed our stay at Roosje van de Kaap. The owners and staff are very friendly and gave us some great suggestions for restaurants to eat (walking distance) as well as places to visit in the area. Very much enjoyed our stay here and can highly recommend.
