The only thing wrong with our stay was that it was too short. Melani is a warm and excellent host. Hope to visit again one day.

We had a great stay here - the pool was heated at an ideal temperature, the room was clean and very spacious, and Melani was very friendly and helpful whenever we needed assistance. Also, the accommodation is situated in a safe and quiet area, with different cafés and restaurants within walking distance. We can highly recommend this lovely place!

We had an amazing stay. Melani was a gracious host and very approachable and friendly. We liked the breakfast ingredients in our refrigerator. It was fun to make our own breakfast and enjoy it on our patio at our leisure. The dogs on the property are gentle giants. Everything on property feels clean and modern and the rooms are private and large. I would not hesitate to book again!

Amazing hospitality from Melani! Perfect escape for relaxation and getting in touch with nature. Our rooms were modern and well equipped with stunning views of the mountains. There was access to hiking trails directly from the property. We really enjoyed walking into town and lazing around the heated pool. Added joy of having the most well behaved and loving dogs we have ever met! Even if you are not a dog lover, Kenya and Luca will respect your space. Can’t wait to return!

Amazing! The greeting by Marlarnie was so friendly & welcoming & informative. The gardens & pool are so beautifully tended. The pool is heated to a perfect temperature, the lodge was bright & spacious & spotlessly clean with everything we needed. We even had our own patio area to sit out & watch the morning birds with the stunning mountains in the back drop. The river at the bottom of the garden, which had stepping stones that led into the woods clearly sign posted & a clear path to follow was the icing on the cake, loved everything & we would go back.

Eine wunderbare Unterkunft mit einem herrlichen Blick ins Grüne und die Berge. Die Zimmer sind wahnsinnig modern und hübsch gestaltet. Die Betten waren bequem, die Badezimmer richtig komfortabel. Die Zimmer waren sehr geräumig und praktisch. Die Klimaanlage war angenehm leise. Alles war sehr sauber. Die Gastgeberin war sehr nett und hat uns allerlei Informationen gegeben. Die Gegend ist sicher und richtig nett. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Melani’s place is fantastic. It has a great swimming pool and a magnificent mountain view. The apartment has everything it needs. Very nice big bed and a very good bathroom and shower. The breakfast has everything you need. Make your own eggs the way you want them. The two big dogs are very sweet and relaxed and keep you save from the baboons :)

This is a beautiful accommodation nested in a quiet neighborhood in Swellemdam. The room is so spacious and bright with an amazing view of the mountain! Restaurants and great coffee shops are nearby. If you are planning a drive through Garden Route and surrounding areas, you should consider making a stop at Swellendam and stay in Riverbed Guesthouse!!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay, sadly only for one night but this property is beautiful with great views a huge garden and pool. Safe to walk into the village and secure overnight parking. Everything was relaxed and so clean we loved it!
