Swiss Villa Guest House is a graceful, 100-year-old sandstone house set in a beautiful garden in the town of Niewoudtville.
The guest house offers guests a choice of staying in one of four comfortably furnished rooms or two self-catering units. All the rooms are equipped with TVs that has access to one DStv channel and percale linen is provided. The rooms are located in the manor and are furnished with comfortable double or twin beds. One room is en-suite with a bath and shower while the other two rooms share a bathroom. One room can also accommodate two extra single beds and is perfect for a family.
The Swiss Cottage and The Stable are both self-catering units but a bed and breakfast option is offered. The Swiss Cottage consists of two en-suite bedrooms and has a cosy lounge and a fully fitted kitchen. The Stable consists of one bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The kitchen is fully fitted and guests can enjoy their morning coffee on the patio.
There is a fireplace in the lounge to warm you on those chilly winter nights or fresh Karoo mornings and here guests can curl up and relax on one of the comfortable sofas with a glass of sherry. The lounge is also equipped with a TV. Breakfast is served in the dining room and picnic lunches as well as dinners are available on request.
Guests can visit the Wild Flower Reserve which has three biomes, or the lovely waterfall situated within a short drive. Nieuwoudtville is also the Bulb capital of the World and consequently has the largest, both in size and population numbers, of porcupines. For the birders there are a variety of species to look out for especially the Ludwigs Bustards and Namaqua Grouse.
"Hosts very friendly. Accommodation dated but beds very comfortable. Probably a good location if visiting the area to see the wild flowers in Spring"
"Our two day stay at Swiss Villa was a lovely experience making it a definite "go back again" place. We visit Nieuwoudtville frequently (during the flower season) and i think we have finally located a place to return to regularly.The host Chris and Nan were very friendly and helpful recommending new routes we had not thought of. The cottages well spaced out in a a shaded lawn area were very comfortable and peaceful."
"A beautiful guesthouse, very welcoming, everything spotless. Chris, the owner, had even booked us in for dinner at "Die Nedersetting"! As it was the height of the flower season, we had no worries about finding a restaurant. Breakfast at the guest house was excellent as well. Thank you, Chris."
"Margie and her staff was great, the food was delicious. Thanks for the wine and your great hospitality. A great place to stay over"
"We really enjoyed our stay at Swiss Villa guest house. Margie was so friendly and made us feel right at home. Everything was in our room that we might have needed plus extra things like a sewing kit and a torch. The dinner and breakfast were delicious."
