Overview

WWelcome to South Africa’s first ever five-star guest house - and still the best value upmarket B&B on the Garden Route. A national monument and one of the oldest houses in Swellendam, our beautiful Victorian bed & breakfast - right on the Garden Route - radiates an old-world charm and rustic elegance that has made it famous the world over. The Hideaway bed & breakfast on the Garden Route has just won the Essential Travel Info National Accommodation Award for 2014. This means that our guests scored us the highest of any of the hundreds of B&Bs in the Essential Travel Info Programme of South Africa. But don’t worry - just because we’re a little famous doesn’t mean we charge the earth. Take a look at our current rates, alongside our value add-ons. We’re sure you’ll be very pleasantly surprised.
