Mountain View Swellendam

10/10 Excellent
"It was serendipitous that I booked a stay at Mountain View Swellendam as I was looking for a place to stop about 6 hours west from Port Elizabeth. I saw nice pictures, a good rating, and a reasonable price. But WOW! First, incredible hospitality. We were greeted at the gate, shown our secure parking spot, then given a complete tour of our unit and directions around the grounds. Plus a recommendation for a restaurant for dinner that we followed and enjoyed. Also, a staff member stopped by to check on an item she had learned possibly was not up to snuff and replaced it. Second, the unit we stayed in was perfect both in condition and usefulness to us. My wife and I needed to work a bit and the room layout and internet were just what was required. The small kitchen area was great for reheating items and making tea and coffee. Finally, the garden area is delightful and provided a much needed relaxation break. When we are next in the area we will absolutely stay at the Mountain View Swellendam. "
