A Piece Of Happiness In The Heart Of Swellendam

With only 4 rooms, Babette is the smallest Bed and Breakfast in Swellendam. We have three garden cottages and one romantic room with a view. We offer you personalized service to make every stay an individual and unforgettable experience. 

Our house and cottages were built 20 years ago in French style and are full of lovely details, such as beams made from the wood of local bluegum trees, robust stone floors, and re-used materials from ancient buildings.  

We are located in the old heart of Swellendam, close to the church and museum and within walking distance from restaurants, terraces and coffee spots.

What Our Guests Say

"Our 3 night stay at Wim and Nicky's Swellendam home at the end of November was one of the best decisions of our South Africa road trip. We were warmly welcomed and shown to our lovely spacious room. The rooms are all arranged around the garden with individual seating areas"

"Das B&B liegt sehr zentral gelegen in Swellendam und eignet sich sehr gut als Stop für einen Besuch im De Hoop Nature Reserve. Nicky und Wim sind sehr nette Gastgeber und geben gerne Tipps für Ausflüge & Restaurants. Das Frühstück wird auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf den wunderschönen Garten zubereitet und ist sehr lecker! Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis und zu empfehlen"

"Twee nachtjes in een paradijsje. Prachtige grote groene tuin, de meest zalige cruesli bij het ontbijt, kleinschalig en dus persoonlijk, en ontzettende vriendelijke hulpvaardige eigenaren. Ook nog eens goede toprestaurants in de buurt. Een aanrader !"
