Gaikou Lodge

What a fabulous setting. The staff were lovely and we enjoyed the large room and veranda overlooking the mountains. Breakfast was great.

Nothing really.

We stayed for one night as a stopover. The apartment was very spacious, and the views were absolutely breathtaking! It felt a bit dated/stuffy, but overall, it offered great value for money.

The apartment felt a bit dated, and the sofas were somewhat worn and could use an upgrade. The bathroom also felt a bit old, and there were quite a few mosquitoes outside. However, overall, it was still a pleasant stay for one night.

What a beautiful place to stay. While you are right on the outskirts of Swellendam, you feel like you could be miles away from civilization in the quiet of nature. The villa that we stayed was beautifully appointed with 2 massive bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms. The small kitchenette is adequate for basic warming of food as well as small prep of food. A braai can be requested if you wish to have a braai. You are a stones throw (5 minute drive) from many good eateries offering a wide variety of evening meals. The breakfast that was included in our booking was outstanding, offering more choice than we could eat. The staff are friendly and attentive if you need any assistance with anything.

The open spaces, silence, the tranquility, and comfort. But also the service, and it's not far from town but also far enough to get the feeling of retraite.

Nothing
