  • "the surrounds"

    16 May 2018

    "awesome stay over everyone was was very happy with the service and accomodation.Highly recommended"

  • "Beautiful location with a magnificent mountain view"

    15 January 2018

    "We enjoyed a warm welcome and the thoughtfulness of a loaf of home-made bread with butter and jam left for us in the cottage, and a half litre of milk. There was ample coffee and tea along with firefighters and matches for our use - a far cry from some guest cottages.The cottage was clean and comfortable. The beds were made up with lovely crisp linen and there were two towels and a facecloth per person. We really enjoyed sitting out at our braai fire and watching a troop of baboons feeding in the distance along with four antelope. A real farm cottage stay - we would happily have stayed another night or two."

  • "Tranquil and beautiful"

    15 January 2018

    "We stayed at Appelsbosch Guest House for 2 nights, I wish I had booked for longer. It's the ideal place if you want to get away from the fast pace of everyday life and just enjoy the view and the nature around you. I will definitely be going back some time for another visit."

    20 November 2017

    28 August 2017

    "Ons was 6 en het heerlik daar gebly. Sal weer terugkom."

  • "Comfort and tranquillity"

    21 August 2017

    "We had a lovely stay in this comfortable and beautifully decorated farm cottage. Welcomed with freshly baked bread and a stunning farm view. Our hosts were extremely helpful when we needed, but for the rest respectful of our privacy. We were there one night, but this cottage could be a wonderful spot for a large family or friends who want to enjoy a longer stay with amenities like a washing machine and large kids room as well as three separate bedrooms. Will definetely recommend it and will return. Just make sure about directions - we didn't and ended up on a neighboring farm. But our hosts quickly assisted."

  • "A perfect getaway"

    12 August 2017

    "It's lovely and secluded. Beautiful views of the mountains and very comfortable facilities. It's close enough to town to be convenient, but far enough away to be quiet and private. Had an amazing 2 day getaway."

  • "So much space and comfort"

    30 July 2017

    "We had an incredible stay in the guest house. The rooms and beds were super comfy. Bathroom facilities were great. Plenty of space for everyone. Lovely views and so close to town. We are already planning our next trip. Thanks so much for the warm welcome Suzann."

  • "Views from the house"

    19 July 2017

    "The house is very comfortable and clean. The views of the mountains and valeys were awesome"

  • "Indoor Braiis"

    22 June 2017

    "It was a really cosy place for us to stay in Winter, because of the indoor braai. Very comfortable accommodation. We were made to feel very welcome. We loved visiting De Hoop Nature Reserve and walking in the Marloth Nature Reserve"

  • "Warm and cozy"

    19 June 2017

    "Such a wonderful little cottage. A large freshly baked loaf of bread was laid out for us on arrival, butter and apricot jam, as well as milk in the fridge. The linen and blankets were superb and no money spared on the high quality, the towels soft and fluffy and we were toasty warm all weekend. Although the cottage sleeps 12, and we were 11, it's a VERY tight squeeze in the kitchen and lounge and we ate in shifts around the kitchen table, kids first, then adults. Ideal for 6-8 people. Having said that, I would still highly recommend Appelbosch."

  • "Tranquil escape"

    24 January 2016

    "We stayed in the flatlet that is adjacent to the main house. It was very neat and clean and is very private even though it is connected to the main house. It has a lovely spacious shower and the small kitchen is equipped with every thing you need in true self catering style. We stayed for one night but would recommend it for longer stays too.<br />"

  • "Great family accommodation in beautiful setting"

    31 December 2014

    "Just a short distance from Swellendam and close to the N2, Appelsbosch Guest Cottage has everything you need for a family holiday. It is well-equipped, tastefully decorated, comfortable and in a stunning setting. Carina was most helpful and friendly. Wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended."

  • "Everything you need and more"

    06 December 2014

    "A beautiful spot, clean and lovely, and a gracious hostess all make Appelsbosch a great stop-over. Add to that an incredibly reasonable price! Highly recommended."

  • "Even Better than Expected"

    30 November 2014

    "What a great location! The view is stunning. The apartment is very clean and cosy. It has everything you need. The TV gets many channels including international news channels. The bed is very comfortable and the sheets are high quality and in new condition. The kitchen even had a french press so bring your own real coffee and they had real milk for the coffee. It is a dairy farm so that is a must. The kitchen/eating area is designed for two people, but a larger group can eat outside.The price is so reasonable for this apartment which is only a five minute drive from town.As it was windy we did not take advantage of all the hikes and natural offerings and we had only one night so we focused on the museums in town."

  • "Overnight Stay"

    29 September 2014

    "We stayed for one night at Applesbosch Guest house, but if we had more days we would definitely have stayed longer.
