It was a pleasant stay overall for one night, but wouldn't stay longer. Room was clean, ceilings let through all sounds from room above. Staff in restaurant was really friendly and food was good too - overall we expected more.

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.
The house is beautiful and the living areas are spacious. The beds were very comfortable and all had electric blankets. There is also large fireplace that was great on the cold nights. There are hikes into the nature reserve directly from the farm. We really enjoyed our stay and the kids especially enjoyed seeing the animals on the farm.
This cottage was charming, cozy and very comfortable - a definite must stay if you are in the Swellendam area!
The sunrise and sunset views from the patio are amazing. George and the entire staff are superb hosts - all very helpful and attentive.
it was located in nice part of Swellendam and within walking distance to a few excellent restaurants. The garden and pool area where we’ll managed with fabulous views of the mountains.
