The stay was nice and quiet and comfortable. We had a great stay, and everything was comfortable.

Wonderful! It was excellent! We had a great stay and will definitely go again.

Delicious. Restful. Silence. If you ever wondered, don't. Pack your bags and book. Wonderful guest owners.

Relaxed from arrival to departure, very nice and friendly hostess! Really enjoyed the silence and scenery and especially the swimming pool in the heat, beautiful surroundings, accommodation and facilities excellent.

Heavenly. Breathtaking surroundings. Everything about Matjiesvlei is fantastic.

Blissful getaway in nature with silence and breathtaking mountain scenery. Swartskaap is ideal for an escape from a busy routine with the breathtaking, quiet and safe environment in which you find yourself. The house is clean, tidy and well equipped with all necessities including a dishwasher, washing machine and a very nice covered barbecue area. We enjoyed the walking route to the river, as well as popping into the old post office/little museum. If you want to get away from noise, admire nature and like to be among the mountains, Swartskaap is the holiday spot for you. There is also a lot to do in the area with Calitzdorp with its wineries, drive the Groenfontein road past the Calitzdorp Dam, go wine tasting at Peter Bayly Wines, and see the very interesting "Rooikoppe". A drive to Prince Albert via the Swartberg pass is also an ideal day trip. Matjiesvlei Retreat's managers are also very nice and helpful and answer any questions you may have ahead of time. We will definitely visit there again!

Winter break. Once again we were surprised with nature's beauty and the silence and peace that Swartskaap offers. This time it was after the big rain and we experienced Drøe Kloof full of water for the first time. The house and facilities were again spotless and tidy with everything you need. The weather cooperated and we lay on blankets and stargazed until late at night. Absolutely unforgettable!

Close to nature. Beautiful location at the top of the Matjiesvlei valley, lovely place to sleep with a fully equipped house with everything and more you need to have a good time — even WiFi to communicate with the outside world if you wanted! Nice big covered barbecue area. Pristine surroundings to walk around. We come again.

Had a great time, very nice view and comfortable house. Very nice environment. Beautiful view from the house over mountains. Very comfortable spacious house with good facilities.
