Highly recommended!!
We travelled from Cape Town to Kruger, staying at various places, and Kwetu Farm was by far our favourite. The accommodation is located on a farm with game and other animals wondering around. We spent a lovely evening by the fire, under the stars, surrounded by beautiful mountains and wildlife. The accommodation was clean and comfortable and the hosts and staff were very friendly and welcoming. We'd love to stay here again!!

Safe, comfortable, and pleasant
This is a good alternative to staying at Bontebok park. The farm is 85 hectare and there are many kinds of buck. The hosts were very friendly and took us on a game drive as soon as we arrived. We stayed in the "long room" which is more economic but attached to the reception. The other cottages are obviously a better experience since they are inside the fence of the actual game area. However, we really liked out stay here- everything was clean, everyone very friendly, pretty area, conveniently located close to Swellendam and halfway between Knysna and Cape Town. We would definitely recommend this place!

Toller Aufenthalt in der Natur !
Wir wurden nett begrüßt, uns wurde alles erklärt und wir durften uns gleich frei fühlen. Unsere Unterkunft war super. Es war alles da was gebraucht wurde. Es ist ein absoluter Tier und Natur Traum. Wir können die Farm nur empfehlen.

Vi hann inte fram i tid för incheckning och hittade bara tel nr till hotels.com på bokningen så vi var tvungna att snabbt ta ett annat hotell för säkerhet. Otur och synd att telnr till boendet inte stod med.
