Swellendam is the third oldest settlement in South Africa after Cape Town and Stellenbosch and is often referred to as the historical heart of the Overberg and gateway to the Garden Route. The Dutch East India Company founded the town in 1745 as the last outpost of civilisation on the eastern frontier. By the middle of the 19th century, British settlers had colonized the eastern districts and Swellendam became a thriving centre serving travellers on their long journey up the coast.

Outdoor adventurers have many activities to choose from: backpacking in the mountains, visit the Marloth Nature Reserve, the Bontebok National Park which is home to the endangered bontebok, De Hoop Nature Reserve or tour the wine route of the Breede River Valley, Montague and the Klein Karoo.

Swellendam offers a variety of accommodation to suit every taste, including luxury guest houses, Bed and Breakfast establishments, chalets, caravan and camping facilities as well as self-catering cottages on farms in the area. Eating out in Swellendam is a culinary delight with many fine restaurants and coffee shops on offer.
