Guest access
The cottage is private and for exclusive use to yourself. Free standing on it's own piece of land. It is situated right next to the museum so there are hardly any neighbours.

Other things to note
The house is fenced off, which is great if you have small children and want to ensure they stay inside the garden. The yard is 700m2 so there is plenty of space for kids to play. The pool is covered with a child safety pool cover for peace of mind.

It is important to note that we are adjacent to the tourism area, although this is a peaceful area and neighbourhood it is still bordering restaurants and thus there will be normal noises at times. Field and Fork restaurant is situated in the back corner behind the cottage and you might hear their extractor fan between service times 5pm to 9.30pm. Most people don't even hear it but some have mention it does bother them. Please be aware of this before booking.

We also allow up to two dogs to stay with you during your visit. The fenced off yard is perfect for them to roam around.
Please note the kitchen only has a stovetop. There is unfortunately no oven.

The cottage has a power backup system so you won’t be affected by load shedding.

Where you’ll be

Swellendam, WC, South Africa

The house is situated in a residential area, on the outskirts of Swellendam, but completely private from neighbors. It has a farm like feel, but around the corner and walking distance from the old town, restaurants and things to do. We also own the deli around the corner, Country Deli at Sipiershuis. Pop in for a freshly baked croissant, the best coffee in town, a selection of homebaked breads, biltong or pizza.

We are raising our 4 year old son here and enjoy the simple pleasure one can only experience in the countryside. We are the owners of Country Deli and Field and Fork restaurant, both situated around the corner from the cottage. Feel free to pop in around the corner and say hello.
