Personal immer noch super freundlich und hilfsbereit. Aber Garten und Pool brauchen Unterhalt. Bungalow riecht feucht und nach kaltem Rauch. Hoffe covid Krise ist bald vorbei

Wonderful stay with exceptional service. lovely.
What a delightful place to stay. From a very warm welcome to complimentary beer and sherry plus home baked cup cakes we were treated exceptionally well. Breakfast was super and the recommendation for dinner reservation proved perfect. Although we are well travelled a couple of firsts for us - an open fire in the lounge area of our cottage and before we departed our car was washed!

Alles! Kreativ, gemütlich, geschmackvoll,tolles Bett, sehr gutes großes Bad, hervorragendes Frühstück mit viel Liebe zubereitet. Renate und ihr Team sind einfach super! 7 Gängiges Dinner war unübertroffen lecker und speziell. Der hübsche kleine Pool und der verwunschene Parkgarten machen alles Perfekt. Der Aufenhalt dort war ein Erlebnis und wir können Augusta de Mist zu 100% weiterempfehlen.

Eine zauberhafte Oase
Hier stimmt einfach alles!!! Ein wunderschönes, geschmackvolles Häuschen inklusive Cupcakes zur Begrüßung und einer großartigen, weitläufigen Gartenanlage. Außerdem ist Gastgeberin Renate die gute Fee und erfüllt einem jeden Wunsch. Und dann ist da noch das spektakuläre Frühstück. Früchte, selbstgebackebes Brot und Teilchen, selbstgemachte Marmeladen und das beste Omlette überhaupt! Einfach 1000% ig zu empfehlen.

Staying at the Augusta de Mist Hotel.
The hotel is very centrally situated. The homestead and surroundings is built in the Cape Dutch style surrounded by a lovely garden.Renate the hostess was very hospitable, friendly and helpful. The staff I dealt with was friendly and their service very good. I enjoyed a quiet and restful 2 night's sleep,as well as a scrumptious breakfast and would certainly recommend the Augusta de Mist Hotel to other visitors.

Wonderful resort in Swellendam
The Augusta de Mist was fantastic. The suites are large with lovely bed and sitting areas. The bathrooms are large with delightful tubs and bubble bath! The gardens are tropical with winding paths. Breakfast in the main house was delicious and our hostess energetic, informative and chatty! Would definitely recommend and sorry we didn't spend another night to spend time in the area. There are interesting little shops and historic houses within walking distance. Had dinner at The Field and Fork which was very good.

Superlative Boutique Hotel
The owners have created an unique piece of heaven set in a garden of eden complete with culinary delights normally reserved for Michelin Star restaurants. The host, Renata, along with all the staff were fantastic - Renata brings a warmth and sense of humor that really compliments the whole experience. Without question, this is a remarkable and unforgetable place to stay when visiting Swellendam. Whether for a night or few a few weeks, you will not be dissapointed.

Superbly run hotel
This is an excellently run establishment. Every possible convenience has been thought of for the guests. We were lucky enough to be staying on a night when they were doing the tester menu - absolutely delicious, as was the breakfast the next morning - from the fresh fruit, fruit juice, cooked to order hot selection and the freshly baked bread and muffins. It was heaven.

A home away from home. The owner and staff make you feel special, like you are the only guest that matters. The food was exquisite. The seven course tasting menu is a must try.Their chef cooks with passion and successfully put a divine, fresh and modern twist to traditional south African food. The cottage where we stayed was spacious, quaint and luxiourious. Could not have asked for more.
