'n Heerlike holte vir jou voet om te rus.

Werklik baie lekker gebly. Warm ontvangs, skoon en gerieflik, met alles wat nodig is en tuisgemaakte lekkernye om welkom te sê. Ons is ook die volgende oggend hartlik gegroet soos vriende of familie. Regte plattekandse gasvryheid en sjarme.

Gerieflike oornag en baie vriendelike ontvangs. Kamer gerieflik en goed toegerus. Elektriese komberse 'n heerlike pluspunt in die winter. Ontbyt heerlik met uitstaande roereier. Dit was nie ons eerste verblyf hier nie en sal beslis weer oorweeg.

Wonderlike gasheer en -vrou. Julle afsien gebed het baie beteken. Dankie.

Ons het heerlik gebly. Die chalet was baie gerieflik en huislik ingerig. Carmel Villa is sentraal geleë en die dorp binne stapafstand. Ons is bederf met graankos, melk, bottelwater, koekies en fudge elke dag. Dit onderskei Carmel Villa van baie ander verblyf waar ons al was en laat mens werklik spesiaal voel. Die elektriese komberse op die beddens het verseker dat ons in 'n snoesige warm, gemaklike bed kon klim, en met die warm beddegoed soos klippe kon slaap. Die ontbyt was van die smaaklikste wat ek al geeet het. Die Victoriaanse dekor en algemene tema, toepaslike breekware en eetgerei waarin die ontbyt bedien is, laat mens koninklik voel. Opsomming: ons het lekke gebly .

Wonderful host and wife. Your farewell prayer meant a lot. Thank you.

We had a wonderful stay. The chalet was very comfortable and homely furnished. Carmel Villa is centrally located and the town within walking distance. We were spoiled with cereal, milk, bottled water, cookies and fudge every day. This sets Carmel Villa apart from many other accommodations we have been to and makes you feel truly special. The electric blankets on the beds ensured that we could climb into a cozy warm, comfortable bed, and sleep like stones with the warm bedding. The breakfast was one of the tastiest I have ever eaten. The Victorian decor and general theme, appropriate crockery and cutlery in which the breakfast was served, make one feel royal. Summary: we stayed licks.

Excellent stay.

Loved our overnight stop in Calvinia. We stayed in Chalet 2 which is a 2 bedroom unit. We were 2 couples. Had everything we needed. Clean, quiet and cosy. Temperatures dropped to -1° overnight, so we were glad our host had invited us to use the hot blankets on the bed. Slept so well. They have a cute braai area with small splash pool - would enjoy that space in hot weather.

Opregte, vriendelike eienaars, gefokus op diens en gemak van gaste.

Vriendelike warm ontvangs met met duidelike inligting by aankoms ontvang. Wooneenheid was puik vir ons gesin van 3 volwassenes. Heerlik gesels met eienaars tydens verblyf, veral oor die geskiedenis van die huis. Baie lekker ontbyt geniet. Ons sal beslis weer van Carmel Villa gebruik maak. Ons sal heel moontlik in blommetyd weer daar oornag.

Dit was letterlik net oornag gewees.

Daar was beurtkrag, en ek het nie geweet die instelling het 'n kragopwekker gehad nie. Ek het nie eers elektrisiteit probeer gebruik nie. Ek wens ek het my haardroër probeer aansit, dan sou ek vriendelik verras gewees het. Ek het die dag maar met "plat" hare deurgebring. Ons kon 'n bietjie vroeër inklok wat baie gehelp het.

It had literally just been overnight.

There was load shedding, and I didn't know the institution had a generator. I didn't even try using electricity. I wish I had tried to turn on my hair dryer, then I would have been pleasantly surprised. I just spent the day with "flat" hair. We were able to check in a little earlier which helped a lot.

Rustig, gemaklik en vriendelike diens.

Ons is baie vriendelik ontvang deur Gezina en haar man. Hulle het ons dadelik gemaklik en tuis laat voel in die skoon en goed toegeruste eenheid. Met ons terugkeer van vakansie het ons weer daar oornag en dit het gevoel asof ons na goeie vriende terugkeer. Die ontbyt, waaraan in die fynste besonderhede aandag gegee is, is werklik aan te beveel. Die huis, met sy interessante geskiedenis, is pragtig en 'n belewenis om in te bly.

Carmel Villa is 'n pragtige 1904-huis met 'n fassinerende geskiedenis. Rustige omgewing, mooi netjiese kamers, hulpvaardige gasheer en gasvrou, stapafstand van 'n lekker restaurant, veilige parkering, wat meer verlang 'n mens. Die ontbyt was boonop voortreflik! Sal enige tyd weer hier kom bly.

Most pleasant. Marcel and Gezina extremely welcoming and attentive. Appreciated the tips on where to view the spring flowers.

Our chalet had a TV with DStv available. The living area was not conducive to watching TV or socialising as the area was small and only kitchen chairs to relax on. Beds very comfortable with good quality linen and electric blankets for the chilly night. The breakfast is highly recommended. My travelling companion accidentally left a jacket behind. Marcel/Gezina went the extra mile by arranging that the jacket be brought to Cape Town for my friend to collect. That care and thoughtfulness is much appreciated.

Carmel Villa is vir seker ons staatmaker oorslaapplek op Calvinia. Van 'n uiters netjiese kamer, die lekkerste eetdingetjie op ons bed, veilige parkering, 'n lekker swembad en braai-area tot 'n ongelooflike ontbyt, sal ons altyd hier kom slaap. Die Carmel Villa gebou het ook 'n interessante geskiedenis om van te leer. Dankie Carmel Villa, ons sien julle weer!

A very comfortable stay in a very beautiful house with an excellent breakfast!

We found this to be a pleasant surprise! We were welcomed warmly by our hosts (owners) of this beautiful Victorian style house, both following the necessary protocols needed upon arrival! We had a good sense of security during our stay - again our hosts were able to advise us as how to be security conscious and our trusty old Prado had safe parking. Carmel Villa has a beautiful ambiance with the original windows and doors with colored red and blue glass. Carmel Villa "tells" of the social history of Calvinia around the turn of the 19h00's! It was really wonderful to absorb and understand the history of old Calvinia!

Fantasties, skoon en gerieflik.

Ek en my vrou het 'n heerlike tyd in Calvinia gehad! Ons was hartlik, vriendelik en persoonlik ontvang deur die eienaar by Carmen Villa en was verras deur die oulike kamer se skoonheid en veilige gevoel. Die eienaar het ons vir ons goeie aanbevelings gegee oor waar om te gaan eet en klein dingetjies te gaan sien / doen gedurende die kort rukkie wat ons daar was. Ek sal Carmen Villa vir enige iemand aanbeveel wat op reis is en in Calvinia wil oornag. Puik!

Fantastic, clean and comfortable.

My wife and I had a great time in Calvinia! We were warmly, friendly and personally received by the owner at Carmen Villa and were surprised by the cute room's beauty and safe feeling. The owner gave us great recommendations on where to eat and little things to see/do during the short time we were there. I would recommend Carmen Villa to anyone traveling and wanting to stay overnight in Calvinia. Great!

Ons is gasvry ontvang en het lekker gekuier.

Ons ontvangs was baie goed. Die chalet was skoon en netjies en daar is in al ons behoeftes voorsien. Ons het op goeie beddens geslaap en het die TV bevredigend gevind. Ek sal die verblyf aanbeveel.

Perfekte keuse vir oornag tussen Kaap en Kgalagadi.

Twee aparte selfsorg-eenhede langs mekaar perfek vir 3 paartjies of ouers met groter kinders. Maklik om in te teken en als wat nodig is asemskep. Rek jou bene en verken die hoofstraat of koel af in swembad. Gesellige tafels en bankies voor elke eenheid. Vra beslis vir die vriendelike eienaars om 'n bespreking vir jou te maak vir aandete by die Blou Naartjie.

Perfect choice for overnight between Cape and Kgalagadi.

Two separate self-catering units next to each other perfect for 3 couples or parents with older children. Easy to sign up and all you need is breath taking. Stretch your legs and explore the high street or cool off in the pool. Cozy tables and benches in front of each unit. Definitely ask the friendly owners to make a reservation for you for dinner at the Blou Naartjie.

We were very well welcomed and had a nice stay. Maybe the owner should put up notes so he doesn't have to give a twenty minute lecture on how everything works. After 800 km you don't feel like it.

Pragtige plek, met vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou wat persoonlike diens gee.

Ek sal moeilik 'n ander plek kies om te bly. Die standaard is hoog gestel met `n karaktervolle skoon kamer, en kraakvars beddegoed wat 'n elektriese kombers ingesluit, salig. Moet nie die romerige kaas roereier vir ontbyt misloop nie. vra dit sommer vir aandete ook, en tussenin. DieWiFi is regtig die enigste frustrasie, veral aangesien ek op `n sakereis was.

Ons het heerlik nesgeskop in die 2 chalets apart van die hoofhuis. Dit is 'n pragtige eiendom en mens word teruggevoer na die verre verlede. Ons het by die swembad en braai-area heerlik as gesin gekuier en gebraai. Ook baie goeie nagrus gehad na die lang dag in die motor. Sal enige tyd weer daar bespreek.

We had a great time in the 2 chalets separate from the main house. It is a beautiful property and one is transported back to the distant past. We had a great time at the swimming pool and braai area as a family and had a barbecue. Also had a very good night's rest after the long day in the car. Will book there again anytime.

Warm ontvangs in ’n pragtige huis, gerieflike kamers en ontbyt wat jy nie moet mis nie.

Pragtige, historiese huis wat onlangs opgeknap is. Keuse uit kamers of selfsorgkothuis. Binne stapafstand vanaf dorpsentrum en restaurante. Vriendelike ontvangs deur die eienaars.

Heerlike verblyf in 'n ou, romantiese huis.

Die huis het baie historiese betekenis maar die selfsorg-eenhede is agter in die erf gebou en het nie dieselfde struktuur as die woonhuis nie. Die eenheid was baie beperk maar netjies en skoon. Dit was baie volledig toegerus en die braai by die swembad was iets om te onthou.

Lovely stay in an old, romantic house.

The house has a lot of historic significance but the self-catering units are in the backyard and don't have the same structure as the main house. The unit was quite limited but neat and clean. It was fully equipped and the braai at the swimming pool is quite memorable.

My wife and I enjoyed our stay, it was wonderful.

The accommodation and the hospitality was exceptional and we were made to feel very welcome. Breakfast each morning was a feast and we were waited on hand and foot. Marcel and Gazina were wonderful hosts and during our stay we became friends. The place is clean and rooms are very spacious and Carmel Villa is situated in a very tranquil setting and at night no disturbances of any kind was experienced, we loved the house and its heritage, the Architectural design of the house very typical of its time, makes you as of you have stepped into the past.

Carmel Villa 's response

Thank you Eddie and Sarah! It was both a pleasure and a delight to have you arrive as guests and leave as friends. You are always welcome in our home and we most sincerely hope to see you in Calvinia soon; not as visitors, but as new inhabitants of our town. We pray that your retirement plans materialise with countless blessings.

Carmel Villa is the ideal place for a night or two - comfortable and friendly.

We enjoyed our one-night stay and appreciated the help from our hostess in reserving a table for us at the restaurant.

Aangename verblyf.

Hetta (die eienaar) is vriendelik en het baie interessante stories vertel oor die huis se geskiedenis. Sy het moeite gedoen om vir ons plek te bespreek vir aandete. Ek sal aanbeveel dat mens eerder in die hoofhuis bly as die buite kamers. Daar is nie dakwaaiers nie en ons was opgeëet deur muskiete.

Pleasant stay.

Hetta (the owner) is friendly and told many interesting stories about the house's history. She made an effort to book us a place for dinner. I would recommend staying in the main house rather than the outside rooms. There are no ceiling fans and we were eaten by mosquitoes.
