127 guests' feedbackOur stay was very pleasant. Everything you need for a short getaway. The owner is a very pleasant and friendly lady, and the decor is beautiful.
Had a great stay, and was received very kindly.
Very nice stay!
Lovely clean place with a cute braai area and pool, huge kitchen for self-catering. We stayed in for dinner (as it was a Sunday) and watched a beautiful sunset. Safe off-street parking and quiet neighbourhood. 3-minute drive to shops, town centre, and wineries. Angela was extremely welcoming and helpful. Thanks!
Very nice stay. The hospitality is top notch. It was very nice to stay there. Will drop by again soon.
This is the best and cleanest guest house. We will definitely stay there again.
Provided the perfect accommodation at extremely short notice. Would definitely recommend.
Stay was very pleasant.
Felt like home to both myself and my wife. Had the best host. Angela was so friendly from the first moment all the way through our entire stay. Even following up long after we had left. Nothing short of outstanding!
Very cute place and will definitely stay there again.
Good accommodation when you want to get away from the busy world.
Close to everything. Will definitely go back.
Very nice and clean very much enjoyed.
My room was neat and spacious.
The decor is very nice. The private courtyard outside the room was a winner.
Sommer very nice stay. The reception by Mandy was very friendly and helpful. She showed us everything on site and was willing to help with any further needs we had, and also recommended local restaurants.
Very enjoyable, clean and very comfortable.
We enjoyed our stay and would stay here again anytime. Welcome reception and very helpful hostess.
Cozy, joint guest hangout with a hearth and wood. Room meets all requirements.
The dirty bedroom floors, the continuously running water through the night of the water feature and the empty anti-mosquito liquid containers/refills, which the host waved aside as unnecessary if we ran the aircons with mosquitoes ever present in large numbers, were blemishes that were not welcome.
The Calitz is off the high street and has a modern feel. Nice view to the mountains from the braai area. Nice central hangout. Room clean and enough space. A big plus is the fact that they have backup system for power outages, plus Wifi. We were able to watch Netflix which worked well during power outages. Will stay there again if we come through Calitzdorp again.
They absolutely think of als! Comfortable beds, filter coffee in the rooms and a lovely pool. It's the best place where one can experience the Karoo in comfort.
Enjoyed the pool when temperature was almost 30 degrees.
Good for a few days multiple trips possible in area. Nice restaurant in Calitzdorp.
Had a great stay. Room comfortable and tidy. Can absolutely recommend.
We came very late from a wedding and didn't sleep until after 1. More people came in later and activated the car alarm on the premises. We had a big fright and had trouble getting back to sleep. If you could silence the alarm that would be great.
Fantastic, beautiful place. I would recommend it for sure. It's safe with an alarm system for cars.
Angela was very friendly and made us feel right at home. The Calitz is very conveniently located and was perfect for our needs.
Everything you would need for a sleepover and more. The room was beautiful with a great bed and linen and there is also a private outside patio. There is an aircon, small fridge, microwave, and coffee making facilities. The bathroom was large and moderate. There is a shallow pool and braai area outside as well as an area where you can eat and watch TV. There is also a full kitchen for general use for the guests. The calitz also has wi-fi and secure parking. Angela was our hostess and was excellent from start to finish. We would highly recommend The Calitz.
Very friendly service.
Angela was very helpful and sorted my needs including dinner venue at Zamani. Great lamb.
The Calitz is very neat and a lovely place. We would definitely stay there again should we find ourselves in Calitzdorp.
Keep up the good way, you're making guests feel so welcome.
We had an enjoyable stay but are not used to hearing our neighbours walking around, movement sounds and talking due to the wooden floors and thin walls. Security rating of 3 is given not for anything that happened but for our feeling of vulnerability.
The stay was pleasant. The Wi-Fi did not work in our room. Only outside. But the place is well-equipped. The area around does not look too great, but the cars are parked away safely.
We had a very nice stay. Als very clean and tidy. We will stay here again.
I was pleasantly surprised with the spacious room, en-suite bathroom and private garden corner.
Colleen received us very kindly. We only slept 1 night but everything was perfect. Was a group of 11 ladies and all agreed that The Calitz was 5 star value. Colleen also mentioned some places to eat, the wineries and attractions. We ate deliciously at the one restaurant and went to buy port. We will definitely visit The Calitz again, hopefully for a bit longer.
The Calitz is an excellent guest house. Neat, comfortable, friendly and everything you need!
We were received very kindly and we had a great time.
Received very good and personal service. Received email from them after booking to invite in person and sought extra information. We also received a message before our arrival about options for restaurants in town. Greeted by Colleen herself on arrival with our names on the door.
My wife and I really enjoyed the night and would like to repeat it.
I was surprised by the large room with 2 bathrooms. Everything was very tidy with safe parking for our cars. However, the WiFi signal did not extend to the unit we occupied.
The plus points of The Calitz are the friendly reception by Colleen, tidy room, and a comfortable bed with an electric blanket. The carafe of sweet wine was also very special. As there are no cooking facilities in the room, but only in the communal kitchen/dining room, it can be inconvenient to stay there for longer periods. A less "thrifty" shower head would be a necessary improvement.
Had a great stay - don't know if the place has been around for a while. Found a lot of bugs and cockroaches in the rooms.
Colleen is the most helpful and obliging host ever. She even booked our dinner date for us. She is a wealth of information of the surrounding area and you cannot fault the accommodation. I would definitely stay there again.
Very neat, clean, stylish and peaceful reception
The owners' attention to detail is beautiful. From the beautifully decorated rooms to the biscuits that are individual.
Dit het alle boksies getiek. Die enigste nadeel was die houtvloere en beweging van gaste in die ander kamers kan gehoor word as jou TV nie aan is nie.
See stars.
10/10 I would recommend the town and accommodation.
Very nice place, nice rooms and clean.
Great service, comfortable accommodation and lovely setting. Very rustig!
The Calitz offers tasteful overnight accommodation without meals but with coffee and tea making facilities. The rooms are very neat and clean, there are adequate security measures and a special fenced area where your car is also safe. The bed is excellent. For those who want to prepare a meal or want to grill meat, there is a common area with kitchen and lounge where you can also relax and watch DSTV. We saw that a previous reviewer wrote about pesky cockroaches. Don't bother with that review.
Colleen and Charlie are a very pleasant couple and made our stay there very easy. The guest house is tasteful and our room also had a small garden with a table and chairs. There is a beautiful living room with TV, a kitchen and a fridge. We can recommend The Calitz without reservation.
Booking and check-in efficiently handled by our friendly and attentive hosts, Colleen and Charlie. A stylishly decorated and well-appointed property. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. Great open-plan kitchen/dining/lounge area with TV. Stunning elevated outdoor braai/pool/relaxing space with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside. Probably the best self-catering we've stayed in at this price level - outstanding value for money.
Coleen gave us a warm welcome. It felt like I was at my own vacation home. Accommodation clean and tidy. The lady who comes to clean every day is also friendly and helpful. Secure vehicle parking. Will definitely stay there again. Thanks, Coleen.
The location was peaceful and quiet. The facilities were fantastic. Very close to the Boplaas wine farm and other attractions. Congratulations to the hostess.
Exactly like the pictures! Beautiful and clean. Colleen was great!
We recommend the place to everyone.
The Calitz is very very pretty, the whole place is so beautiful! Coleen is an excellent host and so friendly and helpful. Definitely a place that's highly recommendable for traveller looking for an overnight stay in Calitzdorp.
Thank you so very much Colleen for our amazing stay at your place. Really enjoyed our time there. Love your friendliness and also the fact that you went the extra mile for us. Will definitely go back to this place again.
We enjoyed the stay very much. Thank you, Colleen, for the extra effort you have made, you've exceeded our expectations by far!
The accommodation was top quality. All problem was the insects cockroaches that were sometimes found in the room which made us unable to sleep. Especially for persons who do not like camping (like me personally) finding insects in the rooms will be a problem. If something is done about it, The Calitz will definitely see us again or a lot more.
We were very kindly received by Mr Colleen and taken to our suites. She informed us of open places on a Monday night. The accommodation is very clean, neat and comfortable. Definitely recommended!
The ideal stay. A quiet environment, clean and tidy and very safe. The room and bathroom are nice and spacious and provide everything you need. Hostess very friendly!
Fantastic service. Lovely facilities. A passionate owner who loves what she is doing. Five stars!
We had a wonderful stay and the host Colleen was extremely friendly. Highly recommended.
Beautiful, clean room, very tastefully equipped. Refreshing harbour in a small town!
Lovely accommodation to visit with a group of people.
Neat and very friendly service.
This was our second visit and it was great, love the friendly service, decor and accommodation! This place has everything you need for a great breakaway.
The Calitz is a very nice place to stay, myself and my wife really enjoyed ourselves. Although it was very hot in Calitzdorp we really enjoy the stay at The Calitz. Owner and staff were very friendly.
What a surprise to discover such a gem in a quiet area. I just want to mention first that The Calitz is super clean. These are old buildings that have been transformed into the most beautiful guest house accommodation. Colleen has a great eye for detail and color. We would stay there again anytime.
We received a warm welcome, we had a neat room. The area was very quiet and the safety was great! Everybody was very friendly & we soon felt at home. We enjoyed it very much and will definitely go again.
See stars.
The most excellent hostess of all the guest houses on Route 62. Colleen and Charlie carried us on their hands, and her breakfasts only added that extra fine detail, that little something above the general bacon, toast and eggs. Will overnight there again.
We really enjoyed our overnight stay at The Calitz. The decor is stylish and there is everything you need. The stoep is the ideal place to sit quietly and read a book or if you want to be more private with your room's own stoep. The fireplace in the living area was also a highlight. We will definitely go back again and are sorry we couldn't stay longer.
What a beautiful place. We have been staying here for the past three years and have been so satisfied with their service every time. Colleen and husband are wonderful hearted people who make you feel so at home and will always bend over backwards to accommodate your needs. For us, The Calitz is this guest house in Calitzdorp.
Friendly people, good food.
Had an amazing time there!
Spacious room and bathroom with porch area. The air conditioner made it very pleasant in the December heat in Calitzdorp. I appreciate the safe parking area. However, what bothered me is the fact that there is enough parking for 5 vehicles without parking each other. However, when trailers are being towed in vehicle parking spaces it makes things somewhat more challenging.
We really felt at home, wonderful location and value for money.
The Calitz was very convenient, tidy and value for money.
Beautiful. Worth while.
Beautiful place with a friendly host!
Colleen is a wonderful hostess and goes out of her way to please her guests. The rooms are spacious, especially liked the private veranda.
Quality accommodation.
Great service and helpfulness and the breakfast is something you won't just improve. Not for R75. Rooms are beautifully furnished with air conditioning. Good balance between old and new. Everything is very nice and clean. There are options to grill yourself or eat out at the local grill.
Friendly reception with cookies, rusks and sherry. The accommodation was neat and clean. Would just like to have safer parking. We will knock here again!
Very nice. Family room had a terrible drain smell that comes from the bathroom. Guests that slept there, couldn't breathe properly and couldn't use the bathroom in the morning. Looks like the smell comes from the shower's drain. Possibly from a septic tank.
Would definitely recommend stay.
Recommended it to friends. Just feel like attention should be paid to the pillows. They're flat and hard, can't puff.
The towels were full of dust. We even had to wash the cutlery and plates before we could eat. For such a hot town I would recommend they put aircons in all their rooms. We only had 2 standing fans and it didn't help the heat at all. Als was clean but towels and bedding smelled of dust. We just feel the service could have been better for what we paid.
It was one of the best places we have ever stayed. The room was so neat and the place should be featured in decor magazines! Colleen was a wonderful hostess and we would definitely like to stay at The Calitz again.
Charlie was incredibly hospitable and specially bought wood and bottled water for us. The unit was very tidy and we could all comfortably shower, bathe and sleep. 5 adults and 1 child. The common area is also well equipped so you can have a nice barbecue around the pool and socialize. I would recommend it to anyone at any time and would definitely visit again myself.
Very neat and the common living room and kitchen is a winner. The braai places are nicely laid out and are a nice place to hang out as a group.
Thank you. We had a very very nice stay at The Calitz. Lovely beautiful place. Very friendly people and nice room. We can recommend The Calitz to anyone. Thank you.
The Calitz is teeming with character.
Colleen and Charlie made us feel so welcome and went to great lengths! The place is stunning, clean and we had a great time cooling off in the splash pool. We would love to return because of the good service and beautiful accommodation! Thanks Colleen and Charlie!
We probably couldn't find a better place to stay in Calitzdorp. Our friends unit Germany were also very impressed. The braai facilities are great and the whole premises clean and tidy. The owners are extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast exceeded all our expectations. We are grateful and recommend The Calitz without a doubt. We would love to stay there again in the future.
Our room was very comfortable and beautiful. I loved their 'upcycling' ideas. We only stayed 1 night and had to leave early the next morning, I would have liked to use the reception area. Very nicely furnished. Will go again.
Warmly greeted by our hostess. This is an extremely pleasing B&B and exceptionally good value. Don't miss the breakfasts which are delectable and beautifully presented.
Lovely host, most welcoming. The unit I stayed in was very clean and neat. Loved the personalised welcome on the room door. The room had everything needed for self catering needs. Highly recommended.
I cannot add much more than that. The place is beautiful and the attention to detail was perfect. Our host was a dream and she made us feel welcome. We would have liked to stay longer and wish all the guest houses in the country could be as good!
Stylish clean bathrooms and rooms, warm beds to ward off the winter cold, the lovely sitting area in the house where you are welcomed with port by a fireplace - that's The Calitz. Artistic decor creates a magnificent effect. The bathrooms (up to the porch toilets) are generously stocked with towels and hand and body wash soap. Colleen and Charlie spare no effort to make your stay outstanding, such as hot soup because we traveled far, braai wood provided free of charge and prompt service like in a restaurant when they are there. We can also recommend the tasty 2-course breakfast - the first time I've eaten doily pancakes! Extra things like the toilets on the veranda definitely add an extra star. Colleen's 45 years in the hospitality industry and Charlie's ingenuity can be seen in everything. Their hospitality amazed some of our other wine circle members who stopped by. The Calitz is definitely the place to stay in Calitzdorp.
The guest house was a real pleasure in every way: Impeccably clean and tidy, stylish interior and incredibly hospitable owners. The guest house should be experienced by everyone who spends the night in Calitzdorp. The spacious living room which also serves as a dining room for breakfast is a beautiful room and has a lovely fireplace with a fridge that can be used by the guests. Enough wood was provided to ward off the winter cold. The spacious outdoor barbecue area with its plunge pool and beautiful covered patio will certainly be particularly enjoyed in the summer. We were a group and the owners went out of their way to look after everyone's special needs and accommodate us with all kinds of surprises such as port at reception and hot soup in the evening for everyone to enjoy as they saw fit. We could even park our trailer at the owners' house! The breakfast is served with fine taste and is definitely worth the effort.
The Calitz is a real gem in Calitzdorp. Rooms are immaculately clean and furnished in good taste and the owners made us feel like they were doing everything for us, despite having a full guest house the whole weekend. Excellent customer service. Will always recommend The Calitz and will if we have to stay in Calitzdorp again, we'll definitely stay there. Rates are very reasonable.
Have a great time and relax.
See star rating.
What a gem! Charlie and Colleen made this place so nice. We were the only people there and enjoyed the stay. Next time we will stay longer.
Wonderful because probably I don't expect that, but for sure a very nice place. With excellent rooms, large living communal spaces, and pretty garden with small swimming pool. The price is very cheap, but probably it will be more expensive in the next time because they just open since 1 month. Anyway an advisable place to stay.
What a lovely place to stay. We had the whole place to ourselves as we booked out all the rooms except one. We were welcomed with a glass of port from Colleen which was very special. The facilities are amazing. We all had a welcome note with our names on our room doors written on a chalk board which was very special. Had a lovely plunge pool which was very inviting after a very hot day.
This guesthouse is highly recommended. The place is new and very tastefully furnished.
Fantastic! Very hospitable. Delicious breakfast.
Beautiful and stylish. Exceeded our expectations by far. Colleen and Charlie did so much for us. Such a special experience. I recommend The Calitz with a clear conscience.
Thank you to Colleen and Charlie for your welcome and congratulations on a fantastic job renovating and decorating. Great attention to detail in terms of giving guests what they need to self cater. The location is not on the touristy side of town, but it is safe and offers everything you need: a great pool for the summer and a fireplace for the winter, and peace on the stoop with the sound of running water to add to the tranquility. It is our self-catering of choice for my future trips through Calitzdorp.
We were with a group of 6 persons and had 3 seperate rooms. The rooms were really beautiful. The hostess was really kind, we got a glass of port when we arrived. We also booked breakfast; it was delicious! We went to a restaurant closeby, and the hostess called them beacause we arrived late, but they stayed open just for us.
We were kindly received by Colleen and she went out of her way to make us feel at home. The Calitz is a beautiful place and we really enjoyed our stay there. Definitely value for money. Beautiful braai area and nice places to sit quietly and read etc. Colleen's decor and "attention to detail" is remarkable and in good taste. Recommend The Calitz without hesitation.
The guesthouse is very neat and tastefully furnished. Host and hostess were friendly and made us feel very welcome. They served an exceptional breakfast and put a lot of effort into making our stay pleasant.
We were received very kindly and received a welcome glass of the delicious local Port. The unit is beautiful and well equipped. The air conditioning is great in the December heat. The service was excellent. Would love to go back!
It's an excellent place to stay and meets all expectations. Parking on the street is a problem that is being solved.
The accommodation is excellently located, halfway on the way to the Eastern Cape from the Cape. I would advise everyone to stop there and stay for a few days! Rooms are large, beautifully "decorated", by Colleen the owner, very talented and "very artistic". There is a pool to cool off in while you barbecue! Definitely recommend, go again next year - there are also many activities in Calitzdorp from breakfast at The Rose of Karoo, wine tasting at Boplaas and Die Krans, dinner at an Italian place where you eat pizza in the vineyards to horse riding!
It was very pleasant, the owners were great, they made us feel at home and told us what we could do in the area. It was a great holiday!
We stopped overnight in Calitzdorp and were very pleased that we had chosen to stay at The Calitz. We were two non-smoking couples. The rooms were well-equipped and beautifully presented; we particularly loved the rusks, and the owners were very hospitable and helpful to us. It is an easy walk to the restaurants on the main road (we had a very tasty meal at Porto Deli) and the plunge pool was wonderfully refreshing in the morning. I imagine it is a crucial asset in mid-summer! The only negative was that smoking is permitted (though not in the rooms, wisely) and happened to be prevalent during our stay. However, we greatly enjoyed staying at The Calitz and we hope to return. We definitely recommend it!
Stunning and clean. Just worried about the safety of cars.
Great stay. Highly recommended. Very neat and we were pleasantly surprised by the stunning guesthouse.
