Absolutely wonderful stay at Chere's guesthouse. 5 star service from herself and her husband. We travelled as a family of 4 adults and 1 baby. Rooms were spotlessly clean and huge (photos do not do them justice!). Travel cot, changing mat and big basket of toys for the baby. Delicious breakfast and again, high chair / plate / bowl / spoon for baby provided. Lovely touches like self service bar and honesty box, communal space with games / DVDs / coffee machine. Tea and coffee provided in rooms. The surroundings are absolutely stunning. We only stayed one night and we all wish we had much longer to enjoy the beautiful estate.

This was our second visit to Bibi's Joy and we were not disappointed. It is comfortable, spacious and off the grid - no worries about loadshedding. Peter, as always, is a great communicator and will respond within minutes to any questions one might have. This year he added two rechargable fans for the bedrooms - this was great as our weather was a bit on the warm side. Bibi's Joy is very quiet, private and in a very natural environments. Great place to relax and unwind and yet be relatively close to Swellendam.

    This is a location I will go back to again and again. Bessie is so welcoming and warm and friendly. The room was immaculately clean. All the appliances worked, cutlery, crockery etc was spotlessly clean. Location is perfect, close to the artisinal shops and very good restaurants. Very quiet and peaceful environment. Fantastic place to stay for even more than 2 nights.
