Welcome to South Africa's first ever five-star guest house - and still the best value upmarket B&B on the Garden Route.


A national monument and one of the oldest houses in Swellendam, our beautiful Victorian bed & breakfast - right on the Garden Route - radiates an old-world charm and rustic elegance that has made it famous the world over.

Your hosts Mark and Diana offer a unique experience of 5 Star Garden Route guest house accommodation, including...

  • Unrivalled hospitality
  • Elegant hand-crafted furnishings
  • Understated luxury
  • An emphasis on genuine personal service and guest satisfaction
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Superb value room rates from R350 pppn (£30 / €35 / $45)
  • Probably the best breakfast in South Africa (don't just take our word for it)
  • The latest guest comments we've received include: "This really was exceptional. No wonder people return year after year!" and "Fabulous place - gorgeous rooms - excellent local restaurants - shame we couldn't stay longer... next time " See all guest comments.

The Hideaway bed & breakfast on the Garden Route has won numerous awards over the years, and is presently in the AA Hall of Fame. However we're more proud of what our guests (many of whom return year after year) have to say about us.

And don't worry - just because we're a little famous doesn't mean we charge the earth. Take a look at our current rates, alongside our value add-ons. We're sure you'll be very pleasantly surprised.
