A retreat close to the mountains, perfect stopover on your way to the Garden Route, Oudtshoorn or Cape Town. Close to the magnificent Tradouw's Pass and the Route 62. Away from the noise of the main road.
Situated in the picturesque town of Swellendam, a national heritage building dating back to 1832 among large oak trees, recently restored to a gem of an establishment, De Companjie offers a luxurious retreat for the sophisticated traveler.

I will recommend the SA Places website to anyone as there accommodation is of 5 star standard. Being a travel agent I was pleasantly surprized as it is real value for money.
