Wonderful breakfast.
Verified traveler
The rooms are all arranged around the pool and a lovely yard. The owners and the staff are all fantastic. The room was compact but very clean and well-appointed. A little far from the center of town but there are numerous dining options within a five minute walk. Plan ahead on Sunday since most everything is closed.
Verified traveler
Lovely place and great value for money. Would recommend.
Peter
A welcome break on our journey.
A simple hotel, our one night stay here was excellent. The rooms are set in gardens round a pool. There is a guest fridge and an honesty bar. We had the two garden rooms which are probably the best, they shared a partly covered terrace with a benches and tables. The cooked breakfast was delicious, a good choice of fruit, cereal and bacon, eggs etc. It is not a fancy hotel but a friendly guest house to which we would return.
Sandra
Scenic comfortable plaace to stay
This is a lovely and very friendly guest house. The rooms had everything required of them to make your stay simple and enjoyable. The pool and gardens are spectacular and spotlessly clean. We only stayed on night and wish it were more. Breakfast was awesome. Owners soooooo helpful.
Douglas
A very pleasant night stop.
The property was beautifully decorated and maintained. The hostess was friendly and welcoming. Swellendam is an unusual but interesting little town with a good selection of restaurants. The nearby Bontebok Nature Reserve is well worth a visit.
Richard
Marulu Lodge in Swellendam review of stay in March
Very comfortable lodge. Staff were welcoming and setup is great with indoor and outdoor dining areas, small pool with surrounding recliners and lovely garden / yard area. Nice restaurant right next door with others in the surrounding area. All facilities available and very clean and comfortable. Breakfast was comprehensive with all you could want available. Plenty of parking and lodge is in a quiet area without much foot traffic at all.

Home away from home
Nice location, clean rooms, however we got a twin bed instead of double bed. Unfortunately there was an issue with the water pipe and there was no water for shower. Overall a nice place to stop over.

Gostamos da simpatia da dona. Hotel bem localizado, porém, o conforto do quarto deixou a desejar. Sem ventilação e com um ventilador que girava lentamente. Sem condições de uma noite perfeita. Poderiam colocar um ventilador que fosse mais eficiente.
