Our Visitors Remarks :
"This is a wonderful get-away cabin. You are at the foot of the mountain, close to a river but just 15 minutes from the shops in Swellendam if you forgot to pack something. You are also close to many other beautiful natural activities and sights most of which are day outings.
The hosts are gracious and generous. We came for a week and would have loved to stay for a month. This is definitely a place to unwind and get back in touch with Earth. Lyn Rapley"
