A warm welcome is given, especially by the Irish wolfhounds who call this home, whilst the resident owl in the oak trees keep watch.
Klippe Rivier's lovely old homestead remains unspoilt and retains its gracious atmosphere in a truly peaceful and tranquil setting. Steps lead up to the wide 'stoep' with its massive whitewashed columns and to views across the dam to the huge folded Langeberg mountains beyond.
Set well back from the main Garden Route highway, Klippe Rivier is perfectly positioned just 2½ hours drive east of Cape Town in the historic lazy old town of Swellendam.
Appearances suggest that nothing much goes on here, which is why it is an ideal stop on a Garden Route tour. The scenery is truly wonderful and the pace of life is perfect for unwinding. A swimming pool and private verandas ease you into sublime relaxation and a memorable vacation.
