From R900 to R2700 nightly for a cottage, depending on unit, guests and time of year.
There’s always a good reason to drop into Swellendam. Whether you’re passing through on a road trip, spending some time exploring the magnificent hiking and MTB trails in the surrounding mountains or just taking in the delights of the towns itself. Bottom line is, there’s oodles to keep you busy here.
Dolittle Cottages (the name might contradict our opening spin), gets you not only two magnificent character cottages, but it also puts you right in the heart of the village. A quiet urban street and semi-rural garden (resident chickens, sheep and donkeys) adding to the farm-like vibe.
Let’s take a look at the cottages themselves. Both (Dolittle and Doless) are identical in appearance and sit alongside each other, with a central swimming pool and lawn as the communal area. The cottages are typical Cape style, with tin roofs, wooden sash windows and a “voorstoep” made for extended morning coffee sessions.
Each cottage sleeps up to six guests. The main bedroom has a queen bed, the second bedroom has twins (or three-quarter) and there’s a double sleeper couch in the living area.
Kitchens are well equipped and open plan, living areas spacious, yet cozy and the covered voorstoeps have a large built-in braai and outdoor seating.
Each cottage has a single bathroom with bath and shower. All towels and linen included. Added to that, there’s WiFi and TV in each.
Well priced, full of charm and central to Swellendam’s restaurants, coffee shops, galleries and town centre. Whether you Dolittle, Doless or plan on doing loads, this is a great getaway for a Swellendam jaunt.
