Overnight stay

Stayed in Aan de Oever for 1 night en route to Plettenberg. The B&B is very quaint but beautifully decorated. It’s located in a quiet and what seems like a very safe neighbourhood. There are good restaurants at close walking distance and the main town is also close by.
The guesthouse is by a river overlooking the mountains. They have a beautiful garden amass with birds and flowers. There’s a small swimming pool and a plunge pool.
Check in was easy, staffs are very nice, friendly and accommodating.
Our room was beautiful and clean, small little touches like flowers on our bed and bathroom, a small bag of muffins for the road made us feel more welcome and appreciated.
Breakfast was excellent, good and varied choices of food and drinks are available.
Information about restaurants and surrounding areas were provided to guest in the room.
They even washed our car which was very dusty after driving to Malmoth natural reserve!
It’s a shame that we are only staying for 1 night.
I would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful surprise stop on our way from Cape Town to the Garden Route! Swellendam is a cute little place, very leafy and quaint. And Aan de Oever is perfectly located in a quiet street just a few mins walk from nice restaurants (one of which they pre-booked for us without having to request it- Drosdy! One of the best meals of our trip). They upgraded us to a very spacious room and we just enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful grounds for a few hours. It’s set next to a little river and the pool deck has great mountain views. Overall the perfect experience, highly recommended.

We stayed only one night at Aan de Oever, but definitely wished we stayed longer. Lovely guest house with a secluded pool area and very nice stylish rooms (we stayed in the Barn Owl attic room on Christmas Eve). Everyone is very friendly, service is great, and they even washed all the parked cars the next morning. Super breakfast! The house is also close to Swellendam center (Swellendam itself is a lovely little town), and we would particularly recommend walking to Drosdy‘s restaurant — Probably the best food we had in SA. Overall, more than 100% satisfied and tremendous value for money!

We absolutely loved this place. It was beautiful, charming, comfortable, and the staff was beyond friendly and helpful. So many nice little touches too. It was a last-minute booking necessitated by a change in our overall itinerary, but ended up being one of our favorite places to stay on our trip.

Delightful Guest House in an interesting town.

My wife and I stayed for 5 nights in this lovely house. We had a warm reception and had already been booked in for dinner at a restaurant within easy walking distance. It turned out to be excellent and we returned there several times. Our room was comfortable and was well-equipped; it had a wonderful view of the nearby mountains. Breakfasts were more than adequate and service both excellent and friendly. Our car was washed early each morning without anyone having been asked.

A memorable stay in an amazing guesthouse

Guesthouse Aan de Oever is simply awesome! It's located close to the town centre of Swellendam which is a beautiful town. My room was a decent size and the bed was comfy. It comes with free WiFi and the breakfast was just delicious. If you have your breakfast on the terrace then it even comes with the most amazing mountain view :) The staff was really friendly and welcoming and one member of staff even cleaned my car before I got out of the bed in the morning without me asking (they probably noticed that my car looked terrible due to driving on the gravel roads).
I really enjoyed my stay in this guesthouse and I definitely recommend it.

Great spot in Swellendam

Aan de Oever was a great stay. The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is good (although would not recommend the omlet), there are several good restaurants nearby (recommend de Compagnie). The backyard (if it were summer) is lovely and you feel like you're at a mini retreat. The location is in a residential neighbourhood so nice and quiet but close to everywhere you need to go.

BEAUTIFUL ESTABLISHMENT

Our host, Fienie was very welcoming and the property was very attractive and clean. We were upgraded to a larger room which was a lovely surprise. Our room was tastefully decorated, quiet and warm (it was winter) and breakfast the next morning by the log fire was plentiful.
We would definitely stay at Aan de Oever B & B if we travelled the Garden Route again.

Fienie suggested that we drive towards Barrydale through the Tradauws Pass the next morning. This was a spectacular mountain pass and a great suggestion.

Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Had a fantastic time!

We arrived in horrible weather and were greeted by Miles the owner with an umbrella for us, which made us instantly feel very welcome. The room (barnowl) was simply superb, very luxurious, beautiful and clean. The staff is very friendly and professional. Breakfast was very 'lekker' and plentiful. The owner is extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and activities on the Garden Route. We will definitely come back and would recommend this to anyone on a trip to or from the Garden Route.

Lovely location, lovely hotel

This is a beautifully appointed, spacious and clean hotel. The rooms were very large and the balcony with views to the lagoon is a wonderful place to watch the sunset. Hotel staff were helpful and polite throughout our stay. The breakfast was varied and delicious in the morning. Wish we could have stayed longer!
Only complaint...beds were perhaps on the soft side and fan is loud (but you can always choose not to use the fan).
I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and I would stay here again.
