Perfect place stay in a quaint town
This is a beautiful accommodation nested in a quiet neighborhood in Swellemdam. The room is so spacious and bright with an amazing view of the mountain! Restaurants and great coffee shops are nearby. If you are planning a drive through Garden Route and surrounding areas, you should consider making a stop at Swellendam and stay in Riverbed Guesthouse!!

We loved our stay here. It’s everything you want in a hotel. Small, clean, modern, simple. Great views, close to town, terrific hosts. Fridge fully stocked with breakfast items, tea, and coffee. A little kitchenette to make a big breakfast and a gorgeous patio in the sun overlooking the mountains and the pool to eat it. You will not be disappointed!

A warm welcome from Melani, very well designed & equipped lodges, a peaceful setting in the garden - alongside the river & with a great pool. This was great place to stay - and thoughtfully Melani had reserved a local restaurant for dinner - great service!

Alles fanden wir in einem wunderbaren Zustand vor! Eigentlich muß man nicht das Guesthouse verlassen um seinen Urlaub zu genießen. Das Frühstück war einfach super da wir es selbst es zubereiten konnten wann immer wir es wollten. Ein herzliches Dankeschön an Melanie unsere Vermieterin. Thank you so much and we will come back again!!!!!!
