African Shades
A unique bed & breakfast located in the beautiful, historic town of Swellendam, right across from the Drostdy Museum. Expect a warm welcome, clean, spacious rooms, super comfortable beds and luxurious cotton percale linen. We offer 6 en-suite rooms all with separate entrances and private patios. Our swimming pool has stunning mountain views and offers welcome relief for those hot, summer days.
Our restaurant is shaded under large oak trees and overlooks the Langeberg Mountains. Open for breakfast and lunch, this is the ideal spot for a quick refreshment stop.
As a family run business, we pride ourselves in always providing friendly, personal service.

"Pleasant stay"
07 January 2018"African shades is a good little spot for a road trip stop. The rooms were clean and comfortable. It would have been nice to see pictures of the rooms on the page before booking but they were pleasant. Its a great location within walking distance to local restaurants etc."

"Location and breakfast great"
11 August 2017"Very nice room with tv and bathroom with both bath and shower. Easy chairs for sitting in wine viewing tv. The breakfast was exceptional but we were asked not to have breakfast before 8. this was ok on this occasion but there may be times that one needs to get off earlier. There was no-one to meet us when. we arrived at about 4pm and we had to phone the host to let us in."

"Great value for money"
01 May 2017"Two minor problems: there wasn't a double adapter to plug in the fan (magnificent fan). Fortunately we had our own. No bottle opener to open bottles (not unsympathetic - can imagine it must the fastest disappearing article in any guest house)."
