Blue Crane Opstal House was a lovely self catering base for a couple of nights. The building itself was cold but electric blankets meant we were lovely and cozy at night. Well equipped kitchen with lovely dining and lounge area. Great sheltered little front patio with Adirondack chairs for just sitting and enjoying the wildlife wandering just outside the garden wall....made all the more exciting by two male baboons deciding to battle it out in the garden and around the house - certainly got our heart rates up !
Featuring air-conditioned accommodation with a private pool, Melk Houte Bosch Guest Farm is set in Swellendam.

Very spacious cottage, equipped with table tennis and an indoor barbecue area. The location is stunning but be aware that you have to drive 30 km gravel road to get there. We would have loved to stay longer!

A beautiful accommodation in a great setting. Perfect place to stay when visiting De Hoop nature reserve, which is only minutes away. Very kind hosts and excellent support in planning your De Hoop visit. It is strongly recommended to book dinner and breakfast since there is no restaurant or grocery store nearby. The dinner was very tasty.
Situated along the Breede River, Malagas Hotel features an outdoor swimming pool, volleyball court and trampoline. It offers river cruises, and also has a paddleboat and canoes for rent.

The reserve is not a big 5 animal park but has an amazing biodiversity of flora and birds. It has an inland lagoon, a large white dune field and a beautiful coastline where you can spot whales in the right season. It also has the only remaining Cape Vulture colony in the Western Cape.
To access the park, you need to travel on long stretches of gravel road, so is a bit off the beaten track. You need to pay a conservation fee at the entrance (check Cape Nature for rates). It hosts the multiday slack-packing hike of the Whale Trail. However, it also has lovely day walks and bike rides, where you can get up quite close to the animals.

The chalet was very clean and the bed very comfortable
The table was beautifully set for us with serviettes and a protea on the table
There was coffee available and load shedding was adequately catered for
The beaches at Koppie Alleen were beautiful and there is a lovely walk along the lagoon.
The dinner's food was amazing although I thought it was a bit expensive

A good stop off spot for a few days of relaxation and family time.
Mountain bike tracks aplenty.
Also short walking trails.
Plenty of guided activities (extra charge)
The road is a good dirt road, no 4x4 needed, but prepare for dust!
Bring meat and braai for dinner - the dining room is a fixed menu and very expensive.
Most cottages do not have a vlei view. Request a vlei outlook when booking.

It was excellent in every respect.
It was excellent in every respect. From the welcome on arrival, to the kind upgrade, because it was possible, at no extra cost. Lovely room with everything we could have needed. Comfy bed. Crisp linen. A bath. Peace and space. The staff were incredibly friendly and it was apparent that our enjoyment was important to them. The food was outstanding. Beyond expectation - for both meat-eaters and vegetarians. A relaxing time-out weekend, worth a visit :)
