Hotel Kwetu Guest Farm (Swellendam, South Africa)

About Kwetu Guest Farm

Get away from the hustle and bustle of city life to Kwetu Guest Farm. Situated on a peaceful farm in Buffeljagsrivier – 11kms outside Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa. Our home, our place, that is how the Swahili word Kwetu translates. A simple word with a sense of belonging. Kwetu is a refuge for nature lovers. Derived from the name “Atelier Kwetu”, this long gone island of peace provided shelter for single mothers in Lullingu. On the eastern corner of the Congo, run by eccentric Spanish nuns, it gave hope and comfort to those who needed it most. Long gone but never forgotten, we wanted to keep its memory alive and gave our farm the name in memory of those ladies of courage who went the extra mile for the less fortunate and believed in a better, more welcoming world.Our farm is an oasis of calm, created by travellers, for travellers. Come and enjoy the unabridged natural beauty of the “platteland”, and satisfy your thirst for adventure. Exhilarating trails by foot or bicycle. And for the more adventurous, a dam that offers seasonal fresh water fishing opportunities.
