About The Hamlet Mountain View Cottage

The Hamlet presents a collection of refined, character-filled cottages on a tranquil private farm, located in the scenic and historically rich town of Swellendam. This self-catering retreat is perfectly suited for couples seeking a romantic escape from the demands of city life, while remaining conveniently close to the town’s many amenities and attractions. Situated approximately 238 kilometres from Cape Town, the property provides an ideal base from which to explore the area.
