Swartvlei Equestrian Estate  

In Sedgefield on the Garden Route, this guest farm-style country house sits in the mountains beside the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas. You’re a short drive from Garden Route National Park and The Lakes Nature Reserve, with Sedge Links Golf Course, Sedgefield Beach and the Wild Oats Community Farmers Market all within easy reach. The nearest major airport is George (GRJ), about 39.8 km away.

Swartvlei blends rustic country-house charm with straightforward modern rooms. There are just six guestrooms with flat-screen TVs, desks and bathrooms with showers. Housekeeping is provided on a limited basis, and satellite programming keeps evening choices simple and familiar.

Jump into the outdoor pool, shoot a few sets on the outdoor tennis court or rack up points in the arcade/game room. The property also offers a picnic area and barbecue grills, plus complimentary wired and wireless internet and free on-site parking—perfect for waking up to fresh mountain air before a day of trails or beaches.

A business center is on-site, and practical services include dry cleaning, laundry facilities and free self parking. Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected.

Full breakfasts are served daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM for a fee—simple morning fuel before exploring the Garden Route.
