Elianthe Boutique Guesthouse is a family owned business. In April 2013 the Sands and Human family became the new owners of Elianthe Guesthouse.
​
Loving all things beautiful, this mother and daughter duo fell in love with the heritage building with its farmhouse features. Being locals of Swellendam their entire lives, Elize and Joanne have a sincere love for the town and its surroundings and want to share this with other travellers. In 2017 they expanded and purchased the building next door and has been renovating ever since.
