114 guests' feedbackVery helpful and kind. Good service! Highly recommendable. Truly great location, really pleasant rooms and mountain views!
The accommodation was comfortable, clean and reasonably well appointed.
I had a great stay and would refer anyone to them anytime. Aanhuizen is my go-to guest house in Swellendam.
Aanhuizen guest house is a beautiful place. Our family enjoyed every moment. We were very well received and we were also very spoiled by the house owner and his wife. We will definitely visit Aanhuizen again. 10/10.
We had a great stay and the apartment (No 6) was spacious with all the necessary stuff needed for a self-catering unit. Well done. A suggestion is that they have a file with all the attractions of the town as well as the restaurants in a file in the flat for easy access. Maybe a better system to return the key at the end of your stay. A box where the key can be dropped in and also for the gate to open by itself when you're inside the property and want to leave. Other than that, a great place.
We enjoyed the room and the friendly staff.
I always sleep well and it's always peaceful.
For affordable accommodation it is ideal and well located, but not for long stays. Only the necessary items available. Will recommend to make services available during load shedding.
We only stayed for one night, upon arrival there was a wide choice of a dozen rooms.
Wonderful place to stay and very friendly host who went out of his way to accommodate us.
Very friendly people and simply invited us to watch the rugby with them. Everything we needed was available.
See stars.
Neat, well equipped unit.
Was pleasantly surprised. The Swellendam parkrun was so close. Quiet and peaceful area. Safe environment.
Tom and his people immediately made us feel very much at home. Was able to chat with them immediately. Tom was waiting for us when we got there from our appointment at 10 o'clock in the evening. It was middle in load shedding, but he made sure we had enough light in our unit. Their service was great. If we go somewhere that way again and need accommodation, I will definitely book with them again.
See stars.
Would definitely recommend the guesthouse and will make use of it again!
However, what turned me off ever going back there were the berries falling on the roof with a thud, the whole night long. I eventually opted for earplugs to try and get some rest. My daughter said she hardly slept as this woke her up throughout the night.
The room was nice, but part of a cluster of adjacent rooms. A noisy crowd moved in and spoiled our visit completely. Not as advertised. This could be a sleepover if you use earplugs but definitely not a holiday destination!
A warm welcome with coffee, tea, rusks, wonderful room, serene and peaceful, relaxed. Well, thought-out room.
I think due to load shedding WiFi was a problem.
Very friendly host and accommodating, especially to families with young kids. The area is nice and quiet. The premises are absolutely beautiful and well-maintained.
See stars.
Dar was even power during laodshedding. Plenty of safe parking in a quiet neighborhood.
The room was spacious and clean and had a fan for the 40-degree hit for which we were most grateful. The host made sure we had enough coffee and milk after our long journey and recommended a delightful restaurant.
We traveled with our grandchild and were warmly welcomed by Tom. He quickly made us feel at home and even provided a camp bed for the little one. The place was very nicely decorated, and the bathroom was spacious and very clean. The nice cup of coffee and home-made biscuits were a lovely welcome. Ample provision has been made for the "loadshedding". We felt very peaceful and safe and had a nice view of the mountains.
Personal, caring service.
Tom let our 2-year-old sleep on the floor (4 people in 3-bed accommodation) at no additional cost. He also helped park our bulky trailer and made a reservation at a local restaurant on our behalf. We were extremely grateful for all his help, and cannot recommend this accommodation more highly.
Needed a place to sleep for the night and the place was very neat and helpful. Would stay there again anytime. Very good value for money.
The staff were very helpful and made you feel welcome.
The host was a very engaging person and made even our dogs feel at home. The view to the mountain is beautiful.
Place was well-equipped. Had plugs to charge cell phones. Internet is available during loadshedding, as well as lights. Very clean and well-equipped places.
It was a quiet, clean place that is very central.
Too short, way too short!
I must say therefore a wonderful B&B. Nice private too and beautiful lawn for photos and setting. We will definitely book again in the future. Many thanks to Tom.
Aanhuizen is the perfect getaway spot to escape city life. Peaceful and calm atmosphere. The place is also very neat and comfortable.
The service and hospitality was of a very high quality and would not hesitate to stay there again.
See stars.
It was an overnight stop for us between Cape Town and George, we were treated hospitably and enjoyed the view over the mountains the next morning.
The host was very helpful, but the facilities need a lot of attention and for the three days we stayed there, there was no cleaning or any sign of staff.
Very clean and tidy accommodation, will definitely use Tom's place again. I needed an iron and hair dryer and these were provided. It's very close to the main street and you can walk where you want to be.
Area is very beautiful. Good value for money.
Aanhuizen is a very nice stay for overnight especially when on business.
Everything was in good condition.
The owner, Tom, was very helpful.
Was well received and everything was exactly as shown in the photos.
Room pre-heated with heater which was switched on for our arrival.
Friendly and safe environment with friendly host and beautiful view of the mountains.
Great hospitality and service and we look forward to booking here again.
Location ideal. Unique. Tidy. Perfect getaway.
The accommodation was neat and there is safe parking for our car. We slept very well.
Beautiful accommodation that was pet friendly and close to the walking trail.
Keep it up like that, and be proud on your place and how you do things!
We stayed one night at Aanhuizen, but could easily have stayed longer. It's a beautiful site on the mountain with different sized rooms. It was clean, tidy and very well equipped to offer us a nice shower or bath and a good night's rest. Olwyn specially waited for us when we arrived later than the check-in time and was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay at Aanhuizen again, it was a very pleasant experience.
Very spacious and tidy. Was able to cool off in pool after a hot day in the car. Really value for money.
A beautiful place to stay in a beautiful town!
We booked a family room as my 85 year old mother was traveling with us. I called to find out if we could come before 14:00 on the Saturday in question and we were told that we could come anytime from 11:00 and also because my mother is the third person and not a young person the owner move us to separate rooms. We were so surprised and it was great especially because the guest house was not empty.
Toilet must have been leaking for some time. They will have to fix it.
When we arrived we had to call for someone to open the gate. At the end of the day, my wife opened the gate herself. The shower was not pleasant for me at all, because you either burned or died from the cold. The cold water faucet was faulty, which means no one checked it before the guests checked in. The owner then sacrificed to take a shower in the next room. Feeling like we are camping with our bag on the way to the ablution. The mattress is bad, no other word for it. The room was clean.
Beautiful and clean place. Good location. Quiet, clean and friendly hostess.
The manager Tom is very helpful. Everything is neat and clean.
We really loved the room itself but not its location. The parking lot was right outside and other guests had to walk by our room to get to the reception etc. which made it very noisy.
Value for money. Excellent host. Beautiful safe area to run in. Will definitely stay over again on another trip.
More TV channels would be a bonus, what's available isn't always personal preference.
Highly recommend. Also pet friendly.
If you're looking for a quiet place and just want to rest and get away, this is the ideal place, you won't make a mistake going to Aanhuizen Guest House.
The guys were really impressed with this accommodation and will definitely recommend it to anyone.
Will go there again.
We always stay at Aanhuizen when we travel between Cape Town and PE.
The room was well equipped and very comfortable. Location great to explore the town.
The sleeping facilities were to taste and so were the bathrooms and the surroundings for a quick walk in the late afternoon.
Lovely stay, clean and tidy. Beautiful guest house.
Neat and tidy, beautiful room. Friendly and helpful. Will use again in future. Beautiful town.
The room was clean and tidy. The bathroom's trash can was unfortunately not emptied before we entered. I would also recommend that there should be a hairdryer in the room. Roof fan also did not work but host made up with a standing fan. I would also like a bathroom mat that I could step on when you get out of the shower. Other than that everything was good.
I had to be in Swellendam for business and decided to make a weekend of it. It was our second visit in two months and the rush between Cape Town and Swellendam was too bad. We were in room 2, nice and big and we didn't fall over each other's feet. Tom was a nice companion when my wife let me out on parole, and we decided then and there that it was going to be our second home. Because of our business, we will be operating there for another ten years.
Stay was good, I would go back again.
The owners made us feel at home right away. We arrived at a nice and clean room. Very nice pool and braai area to enjoy on a hot summers day.
Our stay was fantastic. The hosts were iron, I love how they saw me and me and received the children. We will definitely see them soon, once the pool is warmer.
Their service was excellent. Place is spotless. Love the fact that we could just enjoy ourselves.
I was kindly received by the host. The room was neat and clean. Guest house located in quiet neighborhood.
Had a good rest, beautiful place, really enjoyed the breakfast, will use again if needed.
Value for money accommodation! Tom and family very friendly and helpful. Rooms comfortable, view picturesque!
Have stayed there so many times and every time it was worth it. The mountains in the background and Tom and his team are set to serve the guests.
This was the second time that we stayed here and were so happy to be back. The room was beautiful and cool with a stunning view for the mountains. The breakfast was really good. Thanks for being such an awesome host. We will be back again.
Nice stopover on the way to the Eastern Cape and the view, service and short chats are wonderful.
Nice view and quiet and good service.
Outside areas could go with a little attention, though!
It was a relaxing, pleasant weekend, breakfast was very satisfying, very helpful and accommodating host with helpful hints. Thanks for letting us watch our rugby game in the lounge and Milo was a wonderful co-host.
See the stars.
Neat and clean. Second visit.
We really had a nice stay. Just wanted to let you know: The shower tap in number 5 is loose. The basin's cold water tap didn't work and we would have liked hangers in the cupboards.
Friendly service, tidy area.
See star rating.
Good, helpful with offering the use of house freezer for my kids' drinks and ice provided.
Impress.
Very neat place and host was very helpful. Attention can be paid to the TV reception and soap in the bathroom would be appreciated.
Very nice place to stay. It's nice clean and quiet. The view of the mountain from the front porch is beautiful. The shower head makes a bit of noise, but overall it's a good halfway stop between George and the Cape! Very nice breakfast and very friendly service!
Very good rooms. The host loves what he does and knows the area. He gave us very good advice, even ordered us a take away dinner, advised on the best wine cellars to go and was very helpful in every way. To make the stay even better, the owner may want to consider placing a small fridge in each room. That is all we missed! The roosterkoek and moskonfyt were winners at the breakfast table.
Had a nice stay. Amenities were satisfactory except perhaps for the ceiling fan not working properly, and it was really VERY HOT! Enjoy a delicious breakfast. Great host and hostess. Thank you very much.
The guest house rooms are clean and tidy, not overly decorated. Lovely, quiet setting. Host was friendly and helpful. Breakfast is a feast!
Delicious! Friendly service.
Pleasant stay in spacious neat rooms. Quiet neighborhood assures you of an excellent night's rest! Warm welcome and delicious breakfast. I can definitely recommend it. However, the rooms need some upgrading.
Hospitable, everything was clean and tidy, and the breakfast was delicious. I happily recommend them!
Aanhuizen Guest House is a good point for going to De Hoop Nature Reserve.
We really enjoyed staying at Aanhuizen Guest House. It was very neat and clean and the owner was very helpful.
Had a lovely stay. True hospitality. Beautiful and comfortable.
Very friendly driver.
Very friendly welcome! Rooms very neat and clean. The area and view is incredibly beautiful. The breakfast was delicious!
Would recommend to anyone.

Nice b&b in a beautiful environment and safe town. Very helpful host, advised us very well on dinner. Excellent breakfast.
Amazing guest house with great services, location, and safety.
