Swept Away Guest House

Reviews

• "Good views of the ocean"

  22 March 2021

  "The self catering unit is in need of some serious Repairs. Half the windows are taped shut as the operation is not working. The cupboard door for the fridge needs new hinges and the wallpaper is coming off the wall. There is more water running down the wall than coming through the shower head as the shower pipe is leaking at the top. There was no internet and the tv only had 2 channels, one German and one English.This could be a great place if it was looked after.They also need to tell customers in their advertising that there are lots of stairs to the unit."

  "When we arrived 10 minutes before check in time our room was not ready, has to wait about 30 minutes. Was not happy with room given to us as it was down a flight of stairs and we did inform owner that we were taking our dog with. We did not stay but left same day. Awaiting refund of R1500 from Swept Away"

  "Perfect location with gorgeous views and close to beach. Petfriendly and our dogs loved it. Inge is friendly and makes you feel at home. Our dogs loved the stay and went for long walks. The flatlet was self catering with quality finishes. We decided to book breakfast on the Sunday and Inge did a superb job! All in all it was a lovely stay!<br/><br/><br/>Establishment Response:<br/><br/>Dear Martine,<br/> <br/>It was wonderful having as our guests, thank you for the wonderful review. Hope to see you soon again. It was my pleasure getting to know<br/>Your family. Keep well until we see you again.<br/> <br/>Regards<br/> <br/>Inge"

  "The hostess, Inge, was very friendly and accommodating, and allowed us full use of the dining room and kitchen, as other people had booked the self-catering suites. When the electricity went out, due to a storm, she was well equipped with candles and torches. The rooms are clean and comfortable. It was a most enjoyable stay."

• "WHAT A STUNNING SEA VIEW !!"

  23 March 2017

  "We greatly enjoyed our short stay in Yzerfontein at this comfortable B&B. The view from the guests' lounge and balcony is quit breathtaking. Our room was well-appointed, and the breakfast very good. The proprietor is a most friendly woman."

• "A pearl at Yzerfontein"

  16 February 2017

  "A very tastefully decorated room in marine style with toilet, shower and cooking facilities. Very good quality of mattress on double bed. View overlooking southern side of Yzerfontein bay to Table Mountain. Use of balcony, enclosed sunroom and kitchen in house. Breakfasts are available if advance notice is given the evening before. Would certainly recommend this property."

• "Unbeatable value, magical setting"

  21 March 2016

  "This is an amazing spot: stunning, uninterrupted ocean views, easy beach access, privacy and all the mod-cons you need, at a truly affordable price. The space is clean, spacious and perfectly set-up, and the hostess is friendly, helpful and never intrusive. For the price, I don't think you'll find anything better in Yzerfontein. I could spend a lifetime sitting on this deck!"

  "Private and secure and individual attention to detail. The Breakfast was awesome!"

• "Simply fantastic!"

  24 November 2014

  "Staying at Swept Away was an absolute delight. Inge, our host, is incredibly accommodating (especially to our dog) and made us feel as though the house was ours. We had gorgeous views of the ocean (and saw some magnificent sunsets) from our double room. But the best part of our stay was the breakfast each morning... a veritable feast, the spread included fruit salad, yoghurts, cereals, scones, muffins, cold meats, cheeses and that was just the 'cold' portion. We also got delicious bacon and eggs every morning, along with coffee or tea (of which there are many flavours to choose from). I highly recommend Swept Away for an Yzerfontein visit!"

• "Wonderful stay!"

  14 October 2014

  "I stayed at Swept Away for 3 nights over the school holidays with my two boys. The guest house is stunning, the rooms are lovely and breakfast is outstanding.I had the honeymoon suite which is much nicer and larger than the pics depict, a pleasant surprise!Room was serviced but towels weren't changed once during my stay which would be my only minor complaint.Other than that, I would highly recommend this guest house and would return."

• "Lovely view Amazing hospitality"

  21 September 2014

  "The views from the house are amazing, I recommended the honeymoon suite (especially if a family with a baby cot as it has immense space). The house is 500m walk from a beautiful long white sandy beach.The place is a little tired so don't expect 5 star standard but do expect 7 star hospitality. Inge the accommodation manager made the stay incredible through her kindness, attentiveness and really welcomed my family, from the baby to the granny all were well cared for.The breakfast she prepares is amazing too.We will defiantly be back."

• "SWEPT AWAY YZERFONTEIN"

  24 February 2014

  "We had a memorable stay and our host, Inge, was fabulous. She saw to our every need and could not do enough for her guests. We felt very much at home. No request was too big or too small. We highly recommend this guesthouse. This is a pet-friendly establishment and our two pets were most welcome there."

  "We really enjoyed our time at Swept Away Guest House. We (and that includes our 2 dogs!) were welcomed and left to enjoy a relaxing few days. Thanks!"

• "Pleasant stay"

  16 January 2014

  "Amazing view but for the price can do with a little upgrade of facilities. Better television reception and a mirror near a electric outlet will go a long way. Also a little unpractical for a self-catering unit as it has no direct access to go outside which makes is difficult with kids."
