Swaynekloof Farm is a little gem, situated 40 minutes from Somerset West, 7 minutes from Botrivier Town (N2), less than 30 minutes drive to Hermanus, Kleinmond, Caledon, Houw Hoek and Grabouw. This beautiful farm is situated on the Vanderstel Pass Road, 4.6km from Botrivier to Villiersdorp - awesome scenery, well-maintained dirt road.
- Farmhouse - 'Swaynehuis' - lovely big house with swimming pool and lapa for the summer and a jetmaster fireplace in the lounge for cosy winter nights. It can sleep up to 12 guests in beds and 3 on sleeper couches. Not suitable for bachelor/bachelorette parties or any parties with loud music or noisy quad-bikes etc. Farm is surrounded by expensive animals which are highly sensitive to being disturbed. Best for relaxing away from city life.

We welcome children and small to medium, farm-friendly dogs. Catch and release fishing in the dams, canoeing, swimming in the river, birds (plenty), walks with dogs to river and in the game park without dogs, animals, river life - perfect weekend (or longer!) retreat from city life.Our neighbours, not more than 100 yards away, have lions and cheetahs for your special encounter! All cottages are clean and well-maintained.
PET FRIENDLY: Please be advised that our cottages are not fenced so we cannot accommodate large dogs and any dogs of the following breeds or dogs with these blood lines on the farm: Staffordshire Bull Terriers, English or French Bull Terriers, Bull Dogs, Boerbulls and Pit Bulls. Unfortunately, experience has taught us that dogs with fighting blood will kill our farm animals, especially the chickens and small lambs - despite their owner’s assurances. Smaller dogs that well socialised and farm-friendly, are very welcome.
