Booked in the cottage, but as I was alone, I was moved to the house. Bigroom, clean and comfortable blankets etc and heater for the cold. tv unfortunatrly didnt work, so I read instrad. Friendly helpful service
Virkede rigtig fint til en enkel nat på farten. Den ene seng i stuen var ikke så god at sove på og meget kort. Havde nok været mere egnet til 4 voksne, og evt. 1-2 børn. Men til prisen var vi egentlig rigtig tilfredse, og det føltes trygt og hjemligt. Lille hyggeligt hus i forlængelse af B&B.
We have a really nice time at impangele even if for just one night. The place is peaceful and comfortable, the room was clean and large.
We recommend this place!!!
For our one night stay, we got the whole cottage for our use, even though we booked for 2 adults. It came with 2 rooms. One with a queen bed, another one with 2 single beds. The queen bed is comfortable for a good night sleep. Netflix video streaming was provided for the living room TV. This is really nice to entertain us for the evening. The house is fence up and gated to give a sense of safety. But, anyway, the area is relatively safe.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Impangele Guesthouse. Nicolette is a lovely host who runs the place with a lot of passion and has plenty of tips for trips in the surroundings. Breakfast is a blast- huge, homemade and absolutely delicious. The rooms are beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean and there's even Netflix. The location couldn't be better, five minutes on foot from the main street and with plenty of restaurants within walking distance.
Nicolette is a great host, and we did enjoy our stay a lot. It is very affordable, and the Protea room is beautiful and fully equipped. I was surprised to even see a small microwave in the room.
The breakfast was very nice, and the outside seating area is lovely, with a beautiful view of the mountains.
We will definitely go back for either the guesthouse or the self catering cottage

Bien
Chambre correcte , simple, propre, mais nous avons eut froid car au molis d'aoûy c'est l'hiveret les nuits sont très fraiches. Le radiateur allumé pourtant toute la nuit n'est pas efficace. L'hôyr Nicolette est très sympathique et de bons conseils pour les visites. Petit déjeuner très bon et copieux.
My wife and stayed overnight at Impangele on route towards the west coast. We had chosen arbitrarily and were abolutely delighted ! We had found a true gem. The owners have recently taken over and they are doing a fantastic job. They could not have been more obliging, friendly and helpful. We enjoyed our stay enormously and we plan a longer stay to explore Swellendam more thoroughly next time we travel to South Africa.
We thoroughly recommend Impagnele. You will love it ! Don't hesitate.
Pleasant (one night) stay at this B&B. Dave was very accommodating, and was kind enough to prepare a take-away bag full of food to take with us in lieu of breakfast, as we had to depart very early. We greatly appreciated that.
Didn't expect very much for the price. Facilities are minimal, which is fine and at least the sheets were clean. But the cottage does feel like it needs a good clean. There is a lot of dust under the beds, on the furniture, etc. Plates in the kitchen cupboard still had food on them. No dish soap available to wash them off even. Some of the plug points weren't working.
Won't stay again. Won't recommend.
The host Dave is a really lovely guy, who welcomed us with humor and charm. The room was clean, big, the bed was also big and comfortable, and the breakfast was really good.
This is owned by a lovely couple who have created a welcoming home that they positively enjoy sharing. We really enjoyed the ambience and appreciated the unique decor. We wished we could have stayed longer and unreservedly recommend this place for anyone who likes staying in an individual place with special features.
We had a nice 2-nights stay at Impagnele. The place was in a nice neighbourhood, cosy, convenient and very good value for what we payed. Dave, the owner, was very hospitable and friendly, we enjoyed our stay.
Very good, basic self catering room comfortable for a family of four. Fully equipped kitchenette incl appliance, crockery, cutlery (but missing teaspoons?), pots and pans, and free wifi, decent beds and wall panel heaters in all rooms very handy in winter.
Could have provided better bathroom amenities (e.g. we had shampoo/conditioner but no soap for the basin).

Não voltaria
O hotel está bem localizado, num bairro tranquilo próximo às principais avenidas. Os proprietários são muito simpáticos e atenciosos, porém o quarto estava muito empoeirado, havia sujeira embaixo das camas, não havia box no banheiro e a aparência podia ser melhor. Eu comprei um quarto "luxo" , porém não foi assim que me hospedei. Café da manhã muito bom, porém eu Não voltaria.
Bit outside in a quiet residential area on a hill - beautiful views and nice garden! Very friendly and helpful owner and simple but fully equipped apt. with terrace in the garden - beautiful!
Wir übernachteten eine Nacht als Zwischenstopp auf unserem Trip nach Plettenberg.zimmer war Super schön und sauber,bett bzw Matratzen bescherten uns eine ruhige Nacht,Service war Super freundlich,man fühlte sich Willkommen.frühstück war nicht besonderes aber völlig ausreichend.gutes Preis leistungsstarke Verhältnis.waren alles in allem sehr zufrieden!
We didn't expect much of this guesthouse as we had reserved it 2 hours before and needeed a place to sleep along the garden route. But we were surprised! We had a big room (zebra room) very confortable. The owner is very nice too. And the highlight was the beautiful breakfast on the terrace surrounded by beautiful coloured birds singing! A little unexpected heaven! Thank you!
