Marula Lodge Guesthouse  

In the heart of Swellendam, a modern African‑styled guesthouse just a short stroll from shops and fine restaurants. A quick drive puts you at Dutch Reformed Church, Swellendam Golf Course and the Drostdy Museum, with Bontebok National Park only a short hop away.

Edgy, warm interiors mix modern lines with African accents. Rooms are air‑conditioned and set up for easy stays — private bathrooms (some with tub/shower combos), safes, desks and daily housekeeping. Expect mountain views from the garden and a sparkling salt‑water pool that makes mornings feel like a getaway.

Salt‑water outdoor pool with mountain vistas, sunny terrace and garden for morning coffee, plus a cozy lobby fireplace. On‑site perks include a library, picnic and BBQ area, tour/ticket assistance and free self parking. Wake up to sea‑fresh—sorry, mountain‑fresh—breezes and a calm garden setting.

Complimentary wireless internet throughout the guesthouse. Multilingual staff (English and German), luggage storage, laundry services and private check‑in/out make short business trips smooth.

Buffet breakfast is served daily on the garden terrace to kick off the day. There’s also an on‑site restaurant, and a cluster of nearby restaurants within walking distance offering a wide variety of local and international cuisine.
