The Hideaway

Stephen and Jackie offer personal service, homemade food and comfortable, well appointed rooms. Our beautiful Victorian guest house radiates an old world charm with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, understated luxury, elegant handcrafted furnishings and works by local artists.

The four separate spacious, deluxe, air conditioned suites open directly onto a quiet, large, private garden with 200 rose bushes and abundant birdlife. Relax under the vine-covered pergola with a complimentary glass of wine, a cup of tea or coffee, or some of Jackie’s homemade lemonade and enjoy a homemade biscuit. Recline on your sun lounger on the sunny well-manicured lawn and surf the net on the free WiFi connection.

Each suite has 3 different types of coffee and 6 different types of tea. Fresh milk is always available in the minibar in your room, which is stocked with beers and soft drinks. Jackie’s internationally acclaimed shortbread is renewed daily, as is the port and the muscadel. All these items are at no extra cost if consumed on the premises. There is an extensive range of local Aloe Ferox toiletries in the bathrooms and guests are welcome to purchase these from Jackie’s shop. Stay a few nights and use our complimentary laundry service.

The Hideaway is within walking distance of some of the best restaurants in Swellendam. The area is full of great things to do for all age groups and our extensive local knowledge can help you plan your stay.

We care about making your stay a really enjoyable one, so come to The Hideaway to relax, unwind and enjoy yourselves.
