"When you wander through the Overberg,
On a winding coastal road,
Stay over in Hermanus,
and ask for Hanson-Moore,

Swallows Loft is excellent
the rooms, the view and food,
are a wonderful experience
that's really very good

Good luck Lesley and team,
enjoy your work and fun,
and may your bed and breakfast,
run and run and run."

"Swallows Loft " with its restful ambience and soul restoring walks beside the gentle stream and quiet ponds...home to an abundance of bird life, captures the spirit of country living. Nature speaks in these surroundings. Thank you Lesley for making us feel so special, your warmth, humour and attention to detail have made our stay memorable."

"It falls upon us to close this book
There's history inside if you take a look
We have all enjoyed the magical Ark
It was Lesley and team who gave it the spark
It's goodbye from them and goodbye from us
Until we all meet again in Hermanus
THE END!"
