The Berry Guest Farm Swellendam

For a first time visiter my family absolutely love it! Clean, comfortable accommodation on a working berry farm with beautiful views of the Hermitage Valley. But best of all is the fun loving approach of the owners who go to great lengths to make it a magical experience for children of all ages and the parents. I highly recommend this place and I look forward to seeing you soon.

Beautiful farm with loads for kids to do. The owner was very accommodating and even put the rugby on for us! The kids loved the tractor ride and the pool. The playground area with the old car was a huge hit too. Our dog had a great time swimming in the river and exploring. The blackberries were just getting ripe. Fantastic place to visit and no need to leave the farm for anything!

The kids have dragged us back at least 4 times this year - they absolutely love it! Clean, comfortable accommodation on a working berry farm with beautiful views of the Hermitage Valley. But best of all is the fun loving approach of the owners who go to great lengths to make it a magical experience for children of all ages.

The Berry Guest Farm was an amazing campsite. Definitely the best campsite I have visited. It is tranquil and peaceful. Amazing views. Not too many campsites which I loved. They also cater for children. Activities include Canoeing, Berry picking, pool facilities, glow stick hunts in forest tractor hunts, etc. The children are also in a safe environment. I would definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be visiting again. The staff were also professional and helpful. I had absolutely no issues.

The Berry Farm was amazing. My 2 kids 7 and 11 had so much fun picking berries walking in the enchanted forest, zip line and splashing in the pool. For the amazingly affordable entrance fee there are so many activities for the whole family. The staff are so friendly and and go out of their way to be helpful. I give it 5 stars and hope to be visiting soon- Buhle

We went as day visitors. Took our 5 yo for a trip into the magic forest. It made her day - there was really quite allot for here to see, try and experience at a low cost. Counting rabbits, swimming in the river, hand pumping water, writing on pebbles, swings, rope bridge, labyrinth and kid friendly zip-line. Was a safe way for her to experience nature. Try it out if you have kids. Up at the restaurant, (although it closes really early on a Sunday - 12:30...) there is a water slide, swimming pool and a large dam with canoes & life jackets for kids. Worth a trip and something different if you're from the city/suburbs.

Highly recommended. As a family of 4 (2 adults & 2 teenagers), there was so much to do, we were exhausted by the end of the day.Our kids absolutely loved it and we will most certainly be back. Henri, the owner, really gets around on his bike to ensure that you are happy and all is in order.The ablutions are super clean.I would give it 5 stars, but the only reason for not, is the size of the plots. We found them to be a little narrow. Although you can setup as far forward as you like, it can make for an interesting / tight setup, depending on the size of your camping gear.But overall, absolutely brilliant.

We had a fantastic camping experience. Elri and her Father were exceptional hosts. I highly recommend this Gyest Farm.
