Set on a charming farm in the picturesque Hermitage Valley of Swellendam, the Hamlet Retreat is the perfect escape for those craving a mix of countryside tranquillity and modern comforts.
Surrounded by mountains, the farm creates an atmosphere of seclusion while being conveniently located just five minutes from the heart of Swellendam.

A True Countryside Retreat
This isn’t just a farm; it’s an experience that blends the old-world charm of the original 1800s farmstead with upmarket decor and thoughtful touches. You can expect cozy indoor fireplaces, fully equipped kitchens, and private outdoor patios where you can enjoy a braai under a sky full of stars.
The cottages are nestled between the fruit orchard and open fields, where cows, donkeys, and chickens wander freely, adding to the rustic, peaceful vibe.

From Romantic Hideaways to Family Getaways
Whether you’re after a romantic hideaway or a fun family retreat, a cottage suits your needs. Each offers stunning mountain views that you can soak in from the comfort of your private outdoor lounge.
Spend your days strolling through the farm, feeding the cows, or collecting fresh eggs from the chickens.

An Idyllic Escape Just a Stone’s Throw from Town
One of the farm’s standout features is its remote feel while being just a short drive from the convenience of Swellendam’s shops and restaurants. It’s the perfect spot to slow down, take a deep breath, and enjoy life’s simple pleasures while still having access to modern amenities when needed.
