The farm Boskloof Swemgat is situated about 10 km from Clanwilliam in the Boskloof Valley, a magnificent unspoiled area, bordering on the Cederberg Wilderness Area. The Jan Dissels River flows through the valley and the farm was named after a favourite rock pool the river forms in the middle of the land "Swemgat".
7 whitewashed cottages set in the tranquil farm landscape offer the ideal getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life equipped with free WiFi.
The accommodation is self-catering with warm farm style hospitality. Cottages are set along the river banks with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. Our 7 cottages offer fully equipped kitchens, full bathrooms, bed linen and bath towels are provided. Most of the cottages have indoor fireplaces and all have outside braai facilities. Three cottages have a private Jacuzzi or hot tub. Wood and ice are for sale at the kiosk for your convenience.
Guests can enjoy swimming and fishing in the clear, unpolluted river, bring their mountain bikes or take on the hiking routes by foot. Children enjoy the farm animals and playing in the river with their "floaties". In spring time wild flowers carpet the landscape into a spectacular display. With around 1000 trees over 11 hectares Boskloof Swemgat is home to an abundance of bird life.
It is the ideal place for a family getaway, a romantic weekend, or some peace and relaxation away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, as there is limited cell phone and internet reception.
Cottages are equipped with free unlimited Wi-Fi. A tranquil environment for anyone looking to get some work done.

The best holiday ever! We were in Langhuis and felt so private and secluded. We spent most of our days in the private rock pool and this was just heaven! It was so relaxing that we decided to make this our new family holiday destination.

Boskloof Swemgat is a place to relax and unwind. It is very rustic and quiet set in a stunning little hide-away.

This was our first time at Boskloof and could not choose a better place to have a family Christmas. Very peaceful and so close to nature. The hike up the mountain was breathtaking. If you have small children this is the place to go to.

Wonderlike plekkie om net te gaan rus en die natuurskoon te bewonder! Kinders het die swemgat verskriklik baie geniet!! Sal verseker weer daar gaan bly.

This is a must if you want to break away from the rush of the city noise. So peaceful with the river flowing in the backround. Perfect starset at night and the fireplace gave a very cosy atmosphere.

Absolutely LOVED it! So often a picture of a place is misleading but it is every bit as charming as the picture looks. Definitely somewhere I'd like to return to. Hospitality excellent. Beautiful walks. Two days there far too short and that's my only complaint.
