We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately it was an overnight stay only. Smooth check-in, our Bokmakierie Room on upper level of the Cape Dutch style house was lovely, private and had the best views. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and it was more than adequate in quantity and choice. Great allround service and accommodation and what a gorgeous location. Loved... More

Thank you Miles for a wonderful stay at your establishment. Your hospitality was outstanding and your accomodation beautiful, clean and very well equiped. Big clean beds, bath and shower, good internet reception, good bar facilities, walking distance to good restaurants, quiet and lovely gardens to boot. We will definately return on our rregular biking trips in the Western Cape. More

Staying at Aan de Oever was a truly memorable experience - a warm, welcoming, helpful host; a spacious room with a fantastic shower (we stayed in the Blue Crane room); an amazing breakfast (THE best omelette either of us had ever tasted!); and some added value touches which just continued to blow us away (I won't spoil the surprises for...

WOW! This guesthouse is a real gem! We were welcomed by Miles as if we were long lost family, he was more than welcoming and so very, very helpful. He gave us the Guinea Fowl room which was seperate to the main guesthouse with a private entrance. What a room, it was huge and very comfortable. Everything was spotlessly clean... More

Lovely riverside setting with beautiful gardens. Amazing bird life and we enjoyed watching the sunbirds feeding right beside us. Very attentive host who has written a short walking tour of interesting local properties. Delicious breakfasts. Rooms were very comfortable but why spoil lovely bed linen with grubby bedspreads?

Within easy reach of local restaurants offering varied menus this property is a good base to explore the winelands, walk in the nature reserves and totally relax. The views from the room were amazing looking at the mountains, the beautifully well kept... More

Right from the moment we pulled up in the driveway, we were given a genuinely warm welcome from Miles and his staff. The room was lovely - a loft suite with lots of space and a balcony looking out over the garden and mountains where we enjoyed the bottle of red MCC that Miles had left us for our honeymoon... More

My husband and I decided to spend a long weekend in Swellendam to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. Best decision ever! We were treated like royalty. The room was beautiful and the breakfasts simply wonderful. Miles' signature omelettes are the best we've ever tasted. We were very surprised at what a small town like Swellendam had to offer. Will definitely... More
