Overnight stay
Stayed in Aan de Oever for 1 night en route to Plettenberg. The B&B is very quaint but beautifully decorated. It’s located in a quiet and what seems like a very safe neighbourhood. There are good restaurants at close walking distance and the main town is also close by. The guesthouse is by a river overlooking the mountains. They have a beautiful garden amass with birds and flowers. There’s a small swimming pool and a plunge pool. Check in was easy, staffs are very nice, friendly and accommodating. Our room was beautiful and clean, small little touches like flowers on our bed and bathroom, a small bag of muffins for the road made us feel more welcome and appreciated. Breakfast was excellent, good and varied choices of food and drinks are available. Information about restaurants and surrounding areas were provided to guest in the room. They even washed our car which was very dusty after driving to Malmoth natural reserve! It’s a shame that we are only staying for 1 night. I would highly recommend this place.

Wonderful surprise stop on our way from Cape Town to the Garden Route! Swellendam is a cute little place, very leafy and quaint. And Aan de Oever is perfectly located in a quiet street just a few mins walk from nice restaurants (one of which they pre-booked for us without having to request it- Drosdy! One of the best meals of our trip). They upgraded us to a very spacious room and we just enjoyed relaxing on the beautiful grounds for a few hours. It’s set next to a little river and the pool deck has great mountain views. Overall the perfect experience, highly recommended.

We stayed only one night at Aan de Oever, but definitely wished we stayed longer. Lovely guest house with a secluded pool area and very nice stylish rooms (we stayed in the Barn Owl attic room on Christmas Eve). Everyone is very friendly, service is great, and they even washed all the parked cars the next morning. Super breakfast! The house is also close to Swellendam center (Swellendam itself is a lovely little town), and we would particularly recommend walking to Drosdy‘s restaurant — Probably the best food we had in SA. Overall, more than 100% satisfied and tremendous value for money!

We absolutely loved this place. It was beautiful, charming, comfortable, and the staff was beyond friendly and helpful. So many nice little touches too. It was a last-minute booking necessitated by a change in our overall itinerary, but ended up being one of our favorite places to stay on our trip. Really wish we could have spent more time at Aan de Oever.

Beautiful room overlooking superb gardens. Had everything we needed and very secure. Buffet style cooked breakfast - not quite as good as other B&Bs but nothing to complain about.

Lovely place to stay
very comfortable bed and a good shower. We were pleasantly surprised to be upgraded to a garden room with a balcony where I had the unexpected opportunity to watch the SunBirds feeding. Breakfast was plentiful and good with great service. This is a lovely place to stay with a peaceful atmosphere. The Drostdy Museum close by is certainly worth a visit. Vera who checked us in and was the hostess for breakfast was extremely helpful and even packed some delicious muffins for our onward journey.

Very good, very friendly.
Excellent place to stay, very friendly welcome and although room was a little odd it had everything that I needed, including good air-conditioning and a strong shower. Area was pleasant with several good restaurant choices within 10 minutes walk in a safe area. Breakfast was comprehensive and they even had a guy there who cleaned the car while I had breakfast (just for a tip, no fee).
