The Hideaway

Tucked in the rolling countryside of Swellendam, this 5-star bed & breakfast is a short walk from the town centre. You're minutes from Drostdy Museum and the Dutch Reformed Church, beside a golf course and within easy reach of Marloth Nature Reserve and Bontebok National Park.

A small country guest house run by Stephen and Jackie, The Hideaway pairs understated luxury with personal service. There are four individually decorated rooms with private balconies or patios, iPod docking, flat screens, minibars and plush bathrobes. Bathrooms feature separate deep-soaking tubs and rainfall showers. Hosts help plan Overberg adventures, so you can wake up to wide country views and hit the trails.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool or drift the lazy river. The property also offers a sauna, a yoga area, a picnic spot and a cosy lobby fireplace. On-site concierge and a tour desk make day trips easy, and free self-parking and an elevator add convenience. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected.

On-site conference centre, meeting room and business centre for small events. Luggage storage, laundry services and multilingual staff support business and leisure stays. Complimentary Wi‑Fi throughout the property.

A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 8:00–10:00 and is often touted as one of the best in South Africa. There’s an on-site restaurant and a bar/lounge for relaxed evening drinks and regional flavours.
