Skipskop Chalets

Situated in Swellendam in the Western Cape, Skipskop Chalets consists of three luxurious chalets situated in the main street near the town center with a style which is typical of the old fisherman's cottages with a modest touch. Each chalet consists of one bedroom, open plan kitchen, lounge and a full bathroom/shower, free Wi-Fi and selected DSTV channels for a comfortable stay.
The kitchen area is equipped with a microwave, bar-fridge, kettle, toaster and hotplate, crockery and cutlery. The lounge area with an indoor barbeque/fireplace for the colder nights, television with Dstv, chairs and 2 single beds forms part of this unit. The bedroom is equipped with a dressing table, queen or two single beds, ceiling fan, build in cupboard, linen, duvet/s, fresh towels and electric blankets.

After Cape Town and Stellenbosch, Swellendam is the third oldest settlement in South Africa. Nestling at the foot of the picturesque Langeberg Mountains, Swellendam has much to offer visitors who have an interest in history, nature and outdoor activities.
Situated on the N2, approximately 240 km (150 miles) from both Cape Town and George, Swellendam is the perfect choice for a halfway stopover or as a base from which to explore the area.

"Nice friendly owner. Skipskop is great value for overnight or three and close to town. It just need a handyman's hand on some things."

"Friendly, helpful hosts. But the place could have done with more of a clean, and there was a bad smell around. Didn't like the fact that the tv and microwave were bolted down, made me wonder about security or the type of guest who stayed there!"

"value for money"

"excellent service."
"A less enjoyable stay"

19 December 2016

"In spite of this beautiful town and surroundings, our experience at Skipskop was less enjoyable. The owner/manager still have lots to learn about operating a guest house. If I could share some tips : ensure that your own visitors (family) do not create any disturbance to your paying guests; get rid of the rooster and chickens that make sleep after 4am impossible; ensure that all of the dishes are clean and that the so-called Wi-Fi has a proper signal.. Next time we will definitely choose another place to stay."
"Whale Chalet at Skipskop"

"Very friendly patrons. Pity that the marketing information and photo's are misleading. The facilities did not look like on the photo's and the information about 'recently renovated' was incorrect, as the renovations are still being done."

"Chalets were clean. The bedroom was nice. It was however very humid and their were not even a fan. Thus struggle to sleep. In the open plan kitchen where the tv were, no chairs. Only single beds against the wall."

"It has always been a pleasure to overnight at the Skipskop Chalets. Our first overnight was in December 2013. The price is affordable as we have a family consisting of 2 adults and 3 young children. The management are always friendly and helpful. The accommodation is clean and spacious for the larger family."

"Reception was available, effective and friendly. The chalet was like a home away from home and was more than adequate to all our needs. The town is beautiful and I will have no problem recommending your Chalets to my family, friends and colleagues."
