Hotels near Groot Swartberg Nature Reserve, Matjiesrivier

Absolutely everything was perfect. A little gem! We ordered a braaipack in advance. It contained so much more than expected. In addition to the meat, there was roosterkoek, jam, salad, pumpkin fritters and more. The rooms and beds were super comfortable. The kitchen had every utensil we needed and fresh drinkwater was supplied. The Swartberg Mountains around us were breathtaking. We loved our stay. It was booked for a stay-over location close to the Cango Caves but we will be back for a longer stay at some stage to explore the area further.

Amazing location at the foot of the Swartberg Pass. Wonderful welcoming staff who made us feel at home.

Beautiful quiet place in a valley with baboons. Friendly staff and a very warm welcome. We had a fantastic stay and we will definitely be back!

A little bit of paradise in the mountains in the Matjiesrivier region. Belinda warmly greeted us on arrival and was the perfect host, who looked after us so well. The self contained accommodation at the back of the main house was perfect for us.. very quiet with stunning views of the mountains from the patio, and the sky at night was filled with a million stars that were so clear to see. We loved the rural setting, and in particular the fine cockerel and his 4 hens he looked after with dedication and care plus the cats, especially the cheeky Barusca, who was so affectionate and followed us around.. Belinda's lovely touches of care for us included a welcome jar of homemade jam, making bread for us to save driving into town and local fresh "straight from the cow" milk, were a delight. The studio style accommodation works really well, with a full kitchen offering and really comfortable sofa, plus lovely shower and bathroom. And the bed was really comfortable! Despite the chances of load shedding in this area, the apartment is fully prepared with paraffin lamps and solar lights for the infrequent times we were without power, which was always scheduled through Belinda's great communications, so we could work around this.

Liked EVERYTHING! Lieschen and Juan were wonderful hosts and made us feel totally welcome. Having arrived, we didn’t want to drive again so pre-booked with them a delicious lasagne and salad and also took them up on their offer of breakfast… equally good. The family suite was very comfortable, with a well equipped kitchenette and lighting was provided in case of power shedding. Very pretty garden and lovely mountain view with the most spectacular sunset I have seen in a long time. Friendly staff and nice dogs.

Absolutely Sensational! From our arrival until we left the hosts were friendly, helpful and informative. We went on the most spectacular trail to the Waterfall and without even asking he offered to take us there and showed us the way. The unit was clean, met all my expectations and more. The children loved it there and I myself that needed a break from the busy life was so happy to just relax and breath in the fresh air. I would recommend it to anyone and will definitely go back.
