Calitzdorp Country House

We loved our two night stay here as a family and can highly recommend their dinners which are complimented by a fabulous local wine list. The hosting was warm and friendly and the location perfect. It was nice to feel out in the countryside but only a 5 minute drive into town. Our walk around the town was most enjoyable thanks to the information in the guest folders.

We had such a wonderful stay at Calitzdorp Country House! Stunning accommodation. Very comfortable, clean and spacious room. Beautiful garden. Dinner and breakfast were absolutely delicious! Andrew and Nell are amazing hosts. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there and definitely recommend it to others!

We have just had a wonderful stay at Calitzdorp Country house Hotel. Andrew and Nell are very welcoming. We had a delightful three course diner which included delicious Springbok, not the easiest thing to cook. The place was very relaxed and comfortable. We had a big room ensuite with a wonderful view and a terrace to sit out on. the hotel has outdoor seating and a very pleasant colourful and interesting garden. at diner we had entertaining conversations with other guests. There was no rush to leave after a delicious breakfast. t was lovely chatting to Andrew and Nell too. i am sure we will return.

Having been disappointed with the attitude of the hostess at another lodge in Calitzdorp, we chose to stay at Calitzdorp Country House for the night...and WHAT a good decision that was! From the moment we arrived, we were treated like family! Noticing how hot and exhausted we were, Andrew (the owner) poured us a very welcome drink while his darling wife, Nel, showed us around! Nel's offer to prepare us a light supper to save us driving into town was gratefully accepted and what a SUPERB meal she prepared...fresh salmon salad for my partner and a filet steak salad for me. We cannot speak highly enough of our (all too short) stay with Andrew and Nel. Our room was perfect, the view across the valley breathtaking and the pool was a welcome relief from the heat! Thank you, Andrew and Nel!

We had our friends from Europe coming for the Christmas and the New Year and we decided to drive down to Cape Town from Johannesburg. One of our stops on our way was Calitzdorp. As we didn't know this place very well we booked Calitzdorp Country House by looking where to stay for one night. We were so lucky that we chose this place as it was absolutely perfect. Firstly, our hosts are fantastic and extremely friendly people. The food at the lodge was so good, that we all agreed the steak done by Nel was ultimately the best one we all ever had. The vine chosen by Dave was so good that we visited the nearby winery and bought a case next day. Andrew as the owner and host was always there to assist, help and tell us the stories about Clitzdorp and the area. For travelers driving to and from Cape Town through the Klein Karoo, Calitzdorp Country House is definitely strongly recommended, as you will, like us, have absolutely unforgettable time.

We were made to feel very welcome and when we departed, felt as if we had left good friends behind. Casual and comfortable accommodation. Delicious breakfast and dinner, which was loving prepared and served by the wonderful owner/s. Stunning views and peaceful. I would definitely recommend a stay there and look forward to returning
