We were warmly welcomed into a charming and well-kept guesthouse. Our room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The deck was a highlight, offering a stunning sunset over the mountains—one of the most memorable moments of our trip. Breakfast was excellent, freshly prepared and served in a relaxed atmosphere. A stop we will fondly remember.

One of the best places we stayed through our journey to western cape. Apartmant was spacious and very nice. There were only 3 apartments so it was very relaxed and secluded atmosphere. Pool area was fantastic and we relaxed there most of our time. There was beautiful mountain wiev from the pool area. The host was super nice and helpful. It is a fantastic place to charge the batteries when travelling through garden route. I totally recommend to stay there 2 nights because it is so nice to chill at the pool area.

The rooms are cozy and clean. The breakfast was excellent: strong coffee, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a choice of delicious menu items. Exceptionally professional and pleasant staff. Owners were delightful and truly cared about our comfort and stay. I cannot say enough about the on-site restaurant. We travel all over the world and we found the restaurant to be world-class: beautiful presentation, creative dishes, excellent wine list, knowledgeable and professional service, and plentiful entree combinations.

We enjoyed our short stay at Birdsong cottage. Its well located within a few minutes walk of several restaurants as well as the older, historical part of Swellendam. The cottage is situated within a beautiful garden. under trees and was cool in the summer heat. It also has a fire place for winter evenings. We noted that the cottage was tastefully styled and the pictures were an accurate reflection of how it looks. The king sized bed was very comfortable and had quality bed linen. Colin was a great host, friendly and informative. We would stay there again.
