Palmswift B&B - Affordable accommodation in Winterton South AfricaPalmSwift Guesthouse is in the picturesque village of Winterton, which is situated in the Central Drakensberg area. It is called the PalmSwift Guesthouse as there is an enormous palm at the entrance of the house in which these particular swifts nest. The first thing people comment on, on entering the property is the incredible number of trees and their amazing size. Although the garden does not have many flowering plants and shrubs at the moment, the greenery and shade provide an atmosphere of tranquility and the feeling of being out in the country.
