Hotel at the edge of Swellendam in a fantastic scenery and within walking distance of the town. Nice and spacious apartment and great (and big) beds. The whole place good benefit from a little refurbishment and paintjob though. Breakfast is good and staff are friendly.

Gaikou lodge is in a wonderful part of Swellandam. From our terrace we could look on to the gardens, forest and mountains it was very tranquil. There were some lovely walks around the grounds or you could access lots of treks round about. Our room was very well appointed with a very comfortable bed and a separate seating area. The terrace was covered which was appreciated as during our two day stay there was a lot of rain. Tea and coffee facilities and a fridge in the room were an added benefit. The breakfast room was pleasant and the choice good and freshly cooked to order. The staff were very pleasant and helpful with ideas of things to do in the area.

Room could be improved. Peeling paint in bathroom and shower. Toilet and shower could cleaner. We had giant spider in shower and a huge frog next to the bed! There is a large gap under front door to room. Location is beautiful.
