The guest rooms overlook a lush garden on 2 levels with many trees. We are within walking distance of 3 wine cellars and the village offers a variety of restaurants and interesting galleries. Calitzdorp is a quaint little town but a very important environmental centre. Over the years the surrounding mountain passes have become the reason why mountain bikers, scenic drivers and nature lovers make this a certain stopover.
The four double en-suite bedrooms are tastefully decorated and furnished with country style pieces. Enjoy the generous hospitality and relax in the lounge with open fireplace, TV, games, books and kitchenette. We pride ourselves in the personal service and sharing of the history and ambience of our area.
A country style breakfast can be served on request and will be charged extra. The sweet fruit of the area gives ample opportunity to cook jam, bottle apricots, press juices and make fresh fruit salads. Home baked breads are served as far as possible and there is always a little surprise.

86 guests' feedbackAmazing! Such a kind host and very hospitable.
Briette is a friendly and interesting hostess, who goes out of her way to make the stay pleasant. The accommodation is neat, safe and a lovely garden to relax in after a day's travel. The central well equipped kitchen is a bonus.
Friendly, comfortable and very welcoming. The perfect place to stay after a long day on the road.
Had a great time, is close to all the wine farms, and our hostess was very friendly and made us feel very much at home.
Wonderful stay - everything in place! So warmly received, I was immediately at home. A big plus is that the beautiful place is not in the center of town - no main road noise, even though it's only 2 km from town. Hostess has so much knowledge of the area and paid special attention to information to discover the most beautiful and best of the town. The breakfast was certainly very tasty and nutritious.
We always enjoy staying at Welgevonden. The garden is beautiful and the hostess gracious. The breakfasts are delicious, and the setting and ambiance are peaceful and tasteful. We have stayed here previously and will always return!
We had a great stay, in a beautiful environment.
It was an excellent two day stay. We enjoyed it very much. The location is very good, the garden with all the plants and birds was phenomenal! Not to mention the delicious breakfast! Would definitely recommend and visit again.
Pleasant stay, incredible breakfast.
Everything went smoothly. Everyone at Welgevonden was very helpful, including when I had an unplanned problem involving my car. Breakfast was excellent, and my room was very comfortable.
Lovely old world accommodation, comfortable and private in a beautiful setting. We stay there regularly and will continue to do so. Very homely.
The room was comfortable, and the flowers in the room were a nice touch. I was just disappointed that there wasn't a tea/coffee station in the room, and I had to traipse to the communal kitchenette in my PJs for my early morning cup of tea. I should have read the description of the property properly.
Kitchen facilities completely inadequate and shower floor needs a scrub.
Was a very relaxed experience. A very nice place. Will definitely come and visit again.
It was lovely to stay here and the pool was a welcome relief from the summer heat! The host was friendly and made an effort to make our stay fantastic.
After crossing the Swartberg Pass with bicycles, Welgevonden was the ideal place to stay. The rooms were lovely cool and met all our expectations. The staff went out of their way to make our stay pleasant. Thank you very much.
Wonderful, peaceful overnight accommodation. Everything you need to rest well after a long drive.
Very cute place. Perfect for our short stay. Literally walking distance to restaurant and wineries. Breakfast was incredibly tasty with a very nice view of the garden. Staff very friendly and we chatted too long and had too much fun.
Lovely setting and Briette was very welcoming.
We and our friends found this accommodation on our way to the Eastern Cape so comfortable, relaxing and invigorating. Our hostess, Briette, was so welcoming, thoughtful and, wow, her breakfast was top notch! The garden was charming, the property within walking distance of town, and Mila, their dog, stole our hearts. It was a very special experience. Sorry we couldn't spend another day there!
We spent the night here before a 3 day cycling tour. We also left our vehicle here for when we return. Briette received us kindly and we had a great time that evening. The breakfast, with some homemade surprises, was top notch. On our return we were dirty, wet and full of mud. Without our asking, Briette offered us a hot shower, clean towels and hot chocolate before we started the road back — and that at no extra cost! We just want to say: thank you very much!
Was kindly received and very helpful with advice on places to eat etc. Andre went out of his way to make me feel welcome. Room was neat and clean. Breakfast was delicious, thank you. Thank you for your hospitality and kindness.
Welgevonden is an unexpected little gem. Although I was traveling and only stayed overnight, my stay there made me feel that I want to plan a holiday in Calitzdorp next time.
Bath nice and quiet.
Beautiful and safe overnight stop on the way home. The hostess received us kindly. The accommodation was comfortable, neat and clean. The breakfast the next morning was out of the books.
More than we expected, there's so much to do and see in Calitzdorp. The location of Welgevonden Guest House is a boon for the traveller seeking a quiet, yet characterful stay. Highly recommended.
Additional lounge with kitchen and fireplace was an added bonus.
A very nice room in a pretty spot. Kind and welcoming host.
Refrigerator is not sufficient for a few days stay. Would recommend that rooms get a kettle and cups. Lack of maintenance.
We enjoyed our brief visit in this peaceful haven. Briette was welcoming and shared insider info on a beautiful veld walk. We appreciated the communal lounge and kitchenette for self-catering.
Very peaceful. The rooms are quite dated.
Could have been cleaned better. Poor mattress. Common kitchen not ideal. Bathroom needs attention and better cleaning. Linen and blankets need upgrading and modernising. Rooms very close to one another. No privacy.
Very well located in the town, you can just walk to a wine farm. Quiet and lovely surroundings.
Andre was such a lovely host, we had a great stay at Welgevonden!
Very peaceful and in a beautiful area, only had one scare two large lizards from the roof by the TV room, was quite bad if you have a phobia like me, but otherwise interesting. If you like dogs, like me, then there is the cutest dog, Miela. Will definitely visit the place again. Breakfast was perfect.
All amenities and facilities are there that one needs. Breakfast offered is top notch, more than just the usual.
Very good host who went the extra mile!
Welgevonden is conveniently located near the town, but there is a peace and quiet where you can only hear the church bell. I used the swimming pool in the beautiful garden to cool off. Briëtte thought of literally everything - and more - when furnishing the rooms. Even the wood and fire lighters were provided when we indicated that we wanted to have a barbecue one night. When we left, we also received a free bottle of apricot jam that Briëtte had cooked that morning.
Very beautiful and stylish. Would have liked a kettle in the room.
Nice close to all 3 wineries.
The friendly reception stands out for me/us.
Rooms small and basic, but very neat. Service was great. The breakfast on the deck was delicious.
Neat and clean. Nice stoep walks.
The visit took me back to my childhood and the porch room where I slept on my Grandmother's farm during the holidays. We were a group of 5 adults and 2 children under 2 - and the accommodation was absolutely lovely and ideal for our needs - which speaks volumes in itself! The shared kitchen is also equipped with everything you could need and there is a delicious barbecue area. It was definitely value for money. Moreover, we were received with such hospitality - I recommend Welgevonden without reservation.
We have stayed at Welgevonden 3 times now and it is a feast every time! Our hostess is pleasant, friendly and very stylish! Her breakfast is a must! I highly recommend this guest house.
Very clean and welcoming establishment hidden away on a gravel road. Beautiful garden and lovely rooms with communal kitchen and lounge.
Briëtte is a very nice lady and she makes you feel welcome from the first step. Even the woof is happy to see you. The room is wonderfully cozy and the pillows and blanket were almost packed home together. The tastiest and finest breakfast that you can't find in any store was served and every bite was delicious! Thank you very much, we had a wonderful chat and visit with you.
Very beautiful and delicious.
Just outside Calitzdorp with a dirt road of approximately 1 km. Breakfast was very good. Rooms were clean but are old. The double bed was a bit uncomfortable.
Good breakfast. Ample space. Secure lockups.
Andre, the host, was very welcoming and the breakfast was lovely.
Lovely stay in the guest house. Tasted good wine. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend. You will see us again soon!
I would stay there again.
This accommodation is located on a farm road, but is so close to the town, you can hear the church bell! Very comfortable and close to the road. Very friendly hostess who baked us delicious muffins in the morning.
Will use it again.
We have stayed a number of times and enjoy the quaint rooms. It’s useful to note that there is a lounge available for guests and a kitchenette with basic cooking families and a fridge.
Rooms are very comfortable, but have no TV in room, have to share the kitchen and living area with all the guests.
Pleasant host and delicious breakfast.
Fresh flowers in the room, spotless, neat and tidy. Lovely old world charm.
Upon our arrival, Briette warmly welcomed us and accompanied us to our accommodation. She advised us to good restaurants in the area and provided us with good information. At night there is an alarm and we still had access to the kitchen. We were completely reassured and able to park our car in a safe area. Beautiful interior as well as breathtaking garden. Right choice for your break away from a stressful place. Briette provides the best breakfast and fresh juice!
Excellent plek. Mooi.
Very friendly welcome and peaceful atmosphere after a long journey
It was like visiting family - Will definitely stay there again and recommend to family and friends.
Now that was fun. Slept warm, friendly service. The benches and seats in the garden are perfect for drinking that cocktail or glass of port while the sun goes down. Friendly people! Will definitely stop by here again! Note that they only accept cash for payment of the outstanding amount, but in Calitzdorp there are enough ATMs so it's not a problem.
Good accommodation, affordable and location is excellent.
The service was very good. We could enjoy the silence and surroundings. Rooms were well appointed.
Delightful and relaxed B&B. Planning a another visit with friends.
Many thanks to Briette for the friendly reception, the pleasant atmosphere and especially the very tasty breakfast.
4 stars all the way!
Only small problem was the soft bed.
We used Welgevonden as a base to visit the KKNK. It was a great choice. The accommodation and hospitality of Briette (the hostess) was wonderful! The breakfast we received was the best I have ever enjoyed in a guest house! Unconditional recommendation!
We were at Welgevonden Guest House for three nights, on recommendation by friends. It was simply wonderful! Briette's famous breakfast turned out to be even better than that. Every day a new, carefully and lovingly chosen detail, a steamed fruit with the muesli, a new combination of egg, tomato and spinach roll or smoked ostrich carpaccio. Our hosts also gave very good recommendations of what to see and where to go, not too much, not too little. We had a fantastic trip over the Swartbergpass and through Meiringspoort, through Seweweekpoort, Kruisrivier and in the whole area. We will come back!
Lovely address for a few nights. WiFi is weak and only nearby or in the breakfast room. Everything else is really great. There is coffee, tea, a fridge and magnetron for shared use.
The only comment besides what is mentioned above is - I found the mattress too soft.
See the stars.
Welgevonden is very well situated. Lovely country setting. Comfortable rooms. Excellent breakfasts. Mrs.Barry is a wonderful hostess with indepth knowledge of local and surrounding area and places of interest. Will definitely stay at Welgevonden again. Most enjoyable.
Very pleasant with friendly service, special effort and delicious breakfast.
It was really a privilege to be able to stay in such a cute place. Rooms are clean, tidy and have enough space - also nice warm blankets for the Karoo cold! The owner really put effort into the accommodation and the breakfast was top notch. We will definitely return and have already recommended friends to Welgevonden Gastehuis.
I was surprised by the beautiful old fashioned room and the location. It was so nice to sit on the wide porch and all you hear are the birds. Briëtte and her staff are also particularly hospitable and helpful.
It was a great pleasure to stay here! Beautiful and peaceful! Will definitely go back again!
We were five people as a family and were pleasantly surprised by the oasis in the dry Calitzdorp. We were in the area for two days and enjoyed it immensely. The breakfast was wonderful and the visit to nearby wine farms extremely enjoyable.
It was the most delightful experience at Welgevonden - a true loop court. Most beautiful gardens to relax in, extremely friendly service and delicious breakfast.
We spent one night at the guest house and it was a very nice experience. You definitely get value for your money. The hostess was very helpful and pleasant. The facilities were fantastic and we had everything we needed. Breakfast was very pleasant. Calitzdorp is a bit out of the way, but if we're there again, I wouldn't hesitate to book there.
Bathroom had space for toothbrush etc. bags, fine decor, beautiful surroundings and accommodation and delicious breakfast. Highly recommend.
We had a great stay for 2 nights. The breakfast was excellent, and the service all round very good. They should put showers in all rooms, and more fridge/freezer space is needed in kitchen.
A lovely place to break a journey, quiet, beautiful garden and attentive hostess.
