Een paradijs midden in Swellendam
Pros:

Last-minute geboekt door een misverstand bij een ander hotel, maar wat een geluk bij een ongeluk. We kwamen 15 minuten na het boeken al aan en eigenaresse Helpi was al druk bezig om onze kamer voor te bereiden. Wat een hartelijke ontvangst; zelden zo’n lieve en betrokken gastvrouw meegemaakt.

Roosje van de Kaap is echt een paradijs dat zij samen met haar man hebben gecreëerd. We sliepen in een charmant, typisch Kaaps huisje dat van alle gemakken was voorzien. Dankzij haar tip heerlijk gegeten op loopafstand.

Het ontbijt was uitgebreid en top. We waren slechts op doorreis, maar komen hier zeker terug om langer van deze bijzondere plek te genieten.

Cons:

Helemaal niets!
