The main house of this hotel looks gorgeous - Cape Dutch style. I'd booked the family room (Guinea fowl) and it was set to the side in a separate building. It was very spacious and pleasant but very dark and I didn't feel it was secure so I didn't sleep well. We were straight off the plane from Europe (via... More

I had an amazing stay at Aan de Oever Guesthouse. The price was ridiculously cheap for what I got. Attention to detail was everywhere, from the various fresh flowers in the bathroom to the easter eggs on the bed (it was Easter). The breakfast in the morning was spectacular. Highly recommended!

The owners are particulary pleasant and professional. We have got everything to fell like at home, in a very confortable, immaculate and nice room. Big garden with a stunning view on the mountains next to a quiet stream. Good rates, wonderful breakfast. We strongly recommend this place.

After too many exhausting days moving hotels every night, we decided to stay here for 2 nights and were so so happy we did. Our room was gorgeous (upstairs with private deck, and amazing view of the mountains), bathtub, lovely bed, so spacious. We loved it so much. My mom's room was definitely not as spectacular (a bit darker, no... More

We had a budget room, and it was no five star guesthouse, but it was nice. The bathroom was very big with bathtub and shower. Everything was clean. The garden was very beautiful and there were some chairs for you to sit down, relax and enjoy your welcome drink. The breakfast was good. I had the omelette with vegetables. It... More

This truly delightful guesthouse was of the standard of a 6 star hotel. It provided us with a lovely room with fully equipped bathroom, fridge and supplies including very reasonably priced wine. There was a private verandah outside and all rooms had a private access. Our view towards the stunning gardens and mountains beyond was so picturesque and included a... More

We stayed for one night on our way back from Plettenberg Bay to Cape Town. We had passed through Swellendam a couple of times before and had always vowed to stay at least for one night in this charming town. We were so impressed with the setting at Aan de Ouver with the gardens and the river and equally by... More

We stayed one night in this guest house, en route to Cape Town. The room was comfortable, well equipped and very clean, although we felt the bathroom could do with a makeover as it looked a bit outdated. However, this place's big selling point is its stunningly beautiful garden setting, complete witha river at the bottom, and a pool. It... More
