The property is isolated near Swartberg pass with stunning views of the surrounding country. The rooms are large, clean and well maintained. Breakfast and dinner were taken in the on-site restaurant and the food and choices available were excellent. Most impressive was the wine list.
Booked and paid in advance stay here for the last night of our honeymoon. When checking in we were advised that the hotel had not yet been paid by Hotels.com. I provided them with a copy of the confirmation confirming room booked and paid for 9 days previously, but this wasn’t sufficient.
I ended up spending 3 hours trying to sort this out what was supposed to be a romantic evening.
Hotels.com said they were unable to contact the hotel as no one was answering the phone. I provided them with the manager’s mobile number. They claim they rang this number three times and it rang out. The barman said the manager was at a party and the manager the next day said no call was received. Clearly someone was lying and we were stuck in the middle. The hotel manager was clear it was our issue and not hers. The result was we were made to pay a second time for the room.
If this wasn’t enough, apart from the check-in no other staff member at the hotel wore face masks the entire evening. The waiter and waitress were moving from table to table without PPE and when the chef came out he too was maskless. No wonder the COVID infection cases are rising.
Regarding dinner, the food ordered was different to that which was ordered. Where there should have been fondant potatoes there were boiled new potatoes. When the chef was asked about it he said he was without his assistant and to quote him verbatim he was “out of his depth”.
Could write more but ran out of characters.
We had a wonderful stay at Swartberg manor. The setting on the farm and views toward the mountain were unbeatable. The wifi was non-existent though which can be a blessing. Breakfasts were wonderful and we had one dinner there which was okay.
I’m SO glad that we included a stay here during our 3-week South Africa trip. Many of our other stops were along the coast, so the quiet peace and beautiful views of Swartberg Manor were a real treat. Our room and bathroom were lovely and comfortable, and the hospitality of the hosts and staff unmatched. Our meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Would definitely stay here again, and for longer than just one night!

It took more than two hours to serve pre-fixed dinner and the main was not hot enough(They were serving per-fixed dinner only).
Tanner Stiens cottage. Very private with great view of the mountains and Swartberg pass even while laying in bed through French doors. Private veranda which has an rustic outside shower (stand alone bath inside). Coffee/tea kettle in room and short walk to on site restaurant has a bar which they are happy for you to take drinks away from. Customer service was very good. Restaurant food was also very good for both the breakfasts and evening meals.
most enjoyable, friendly staff, food amazing, rooms beautiful,
view to die for! wonderful experience.
Thank you

Great location & restaurant
This is truly in the Karoo with a fine walk to a waterfall in the hills. Although the restaurant is a "captive restaurant" as it's the the country, the food was fine country food- not a large selection, but lamb that tasted like lamb and chicken that tasted like chicken.

Go there for the view!
A fantastic location to enjoy or to use as a base for the wonderful Swatberg area. The round trip to Prince Albert was fantastic! The service is very friendly. The condition of the rooms was a little more run-down than expected based on the photos but still comfortable. As always, the generator noise during load-shedding can be a bit disruptive.
