Great value, clean, spacious. Friendly host.

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!

Verblyf op Calitzdorp in 'n stil buurt.

The Calitz is in 'n stil buurt geleë. Daar is 'n ruim braaiplek op die boonste vlak, en 'n groot oopplan onthaallokaal, sitarea, kombuis, eetruimte aan die onderent van die braaiplek, aan die buitekant van die huis waar die slaapkamers is. Die kamers is mooi en netjies. Daar is nie TV in die kamers nie en onthaallokaal se stel was ongelukkig nie in werking nie.

Accommodation on Calitzdorp in a quiet neighbourhood.

The Calitz is located in a quiet neighborhood. There is a spacious braai area on the upper level, and a large open plan reception room, lounge, kitchen, dining area at the bottom of the braai area, on the outside of the house where the bedrooms are. The rooms are nice and tidy. There is no TV in the rooms and unfortunately the reception set was not working.

Modern, appealing but not without shortcomings.

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.

Tuisgerief weg van die huis.

The Calitz is weg van die hoofstraat en het 'n moderne gevoel. Mooi uitsig na die berge van die braai-area. Lekker sentrale kuierplek. Kamer skoon en genoeg spasie. 'n Groot plus is die feit dat hulle rugsteunstelsel het vir kragonderbrekings, plus Wifi. Ons kon Netflix kyk wat goed gewerk het tydens kragonderbrekings. Sal weer daar bly as ons weer deur Calitzdorp kom.

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.

Will stay there again if we come through Calitzdorp again.

Ons het baie gerieflik in The Calitz gebly nadat ons vir 'n troue was op Buffelskloof.

Ons het baie laat vanaf 'n troue gekom en het eers na 1 geslaap. Daar het nog mense later ingekom en die motor alarm geaktiveer op die perseel. Ons het baie groot geskrik en het gesukkel om weer aan die slaap te raak. As julle die alarm kan stil maak sal dit gaaf wees.

Beste akkommodasie in Calitzdorp.

Alles wat jy sou nodig het vir 'n oorslaap en meer. Die kamer was pragtig met 'n puik bed en linne en daar is ook 'n privaat buitestoepie. Daar is 'n aircon, klein yskas, mikrogolfoond, en koffie-fasiliteite. Die badkamer was groot en modererend. Daar is 'n vlak swembad en braai-area buite as ook 'n deel waar jy kan eet en TV kyk. Daar is ook n volle kombuis vir algemeene gebruik vir die gaste. The calitz het ook wi-fi en veilige parkering. Angela was ons gasvrou en was uitstekend van begin tot einde. Ons sal The Calitz hoogs aanbeveel.

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.

A lot of attention to furnishings and a lovely entertainment and dining/ kitchen and braai area.

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.

Baie stylvol, kamers groot, goeie linne en sommer net 5-ster.

Colleen het ons baie vriendelik ontvang. Ons het net 1 nag geslaap maar alles was perfek. Was 'n groep van 11 dames en almal was dit eens dat The Calitz 5-ster waarde was. Colleen het ook 'n paar eetplekke, die wynkelders en besienswaardighede genoem. Ons het heerlik by die een restaurant geëet en port gaan koop. Ons sal definitief The Calitz weer besoek, hopelik vir bietjie langer.

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.

Ons het net een nag oorgebly en het die netjiese en smaakvol versierde kamer geniet.

Die pluspunte van The Calitz is die vriendelike ontvangs deur Colleen, netjiese kamer, en 'n gemaklike bed met 'n elektriese kombers. Die kraffie soetwyn was ook baie spesiaal. Deurdat daar nie kosmaakgeriewe in die kamer is nie, maar net in die gemeenskaplike kombuis/eetlokaal, kan dit ongerieflik wees om vir langer periodes daar te bly. 'n Minder "suinige" stortkop sal 'n nodige verbetering wees.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

We only stayed one night and enjoyed the neat and tastefully decorated room.

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.

Alles wat jy nodig het om veilig te oornag en lekker te slaap

The Calitz bied smaakvolle oornagverblyf sonder etes maar met koffie-en-teemaak geriewe. Die kamers is baie netjies en skoon, daar is toereikende veiligheidsmaatreëls en 'n spesiale omheinde area waar jou motor ook veilig is. Die bed is uitstekend. Vir dié wat 'n ete wil voorberei of wil vleisbraai, is daar 'n gemeenskaplike area met kombuis en sitkamer waar jy ook kan ontspan en DSTV kyk. Ons het gesien dat 'n vorige resensent geskryf het oor lastige kakkerlakke. Moet jou nie aan daardie resensie steur nie.

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.

Lekker.

Die akkommodasie was van topgehalte. Al probleem was die insekte cockroaches wat in die kamer soms gevind was wat gemaak het dat ons nie kon slaap nie. Veral vir persone wat nie hou van kamp nie (soos ek persoonlik) sal die vind van insekte in die kamers 'n probleem is. Indien iets daaromtrent gedoen word sal The Calitz beslis weer of baie meer van ons sien.

Enige tyd weer!

Wat 'n verrassing om so 'n juweel te ontdek in 'n stil area. Ek wil net eerstens noem dat The Calitz superskoon is. Dit is ou geboue wat omtower is in die mooiste gastehuis verblyf. Colleen het 'n goeie oog vir detail en kleur. Ons sal enige tyd weer daar tuisgaan.

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.

Ons het 'n wonderlike naweek gehad.

Ons het 'n warm verwelkoming gekry, ons het 'n netjiese kamer gehad. Die area was baie stil en die veiligheid was puik! Almal was baie vriendelik & ons het sommer gou-gou tuis gevoel. Ons het dit baie geniet en sal beslis weer gaan.

Ongelooflike detail aan kos, gasvryheid, netheid en kraakvars warm bed in bibberweer.

Van al ons gastehuise op Route 62 die mees uitstaande gasvrou. Colleen en Charlie het ons op die hande gedra, en haar ontbyte het net daardie ektra fyn detail, daardie ietsie wat bo al die ander gastehuise se gewone spek, roosterbrood en eiers uitstaan. Sal weer daar oornag.

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.

Lieflike plekkie met goeie waarde vir geld.

Ons het ons oornag verblyf baie geniet by The Calitz. Die dekor is stylvol en daar is als wat jy nodig het. Die stoep is die ideale plek om rustig te sit en boek lees of as jy meer privaat wil wees by jou kamer se eie stoepie. Die kaggel in die leefarea was ook 'n hoogtepunt. Ons sal beslis weer teruggaan en is jammer ons kon nie langer bly nie.

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.

Baie gerieflik en waarde vir geld weg van die hoofpad.

Ruim kamer en badkamer met stoep-area. Die lugversorger het dit baie aangenaam gemaak in die Desember-hitte op Calitzdorp. Ek waardeer die veilige parkeer-area. Wat egter gepla het, is die feit dat daar voldoende parkering vir 5 voertuie is sonder om mekaar vas te parkeer. As daar egter sleepwaentjies op voertuigparkeerplekke getrek word maak dit dinge ietwat meer uitdagend.

Very convenient and value for money away from the main road.

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.

Als is net bietjie te vêr van mekaar af.

Die handdoeke was vol stof. Ons moes selfs die eetgerei en borde was voor ons kon eet. Vir so 'n warm dorp sal ek aanbeveel hulle sit aircons in al hulle kamers. Ons het net 2 staanwaaiers gehad en dit het glad nie gehelp vir daai hitte nie. Als was skoon maar handdoeke en beddegoed het na stof geruik. Ons voel net die diens kon beter gewees het vir wat ons betaal het.

Als is just a little too far from each other.

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.

The Calitz het gevoel soos ons huis weg van die huis af.

Charlie was ongelooflik gasvry en het vir ons hout en gebottelde water spesiaal gaan koop. Die eenheid was baie netjies en ons kon almal gemaklik stort, bad en slaap. 5 volwassenes en 1 kind. Die gemeenskaplike area is ook goed toegerus so mens kan lekker om die swembad braai en kuier. Ek sal dit enige tyd vir enige iemand aanbeveel en sal definitief self ook weer daar gaan inloer.

Wonderlike, stylvolle verblyf van gehalte, danksy Charlie en Colleen wat uit hulle pad gaan om dit te bewerkstellig.

Stylvolle skoon badkamers en kamers, warm beddens om die winterkoue weg te keer, die heerlike kuier area in die huis waar jy met port verwelkom word by 'n kaggelvuur - dis The Calitz. Kunstige dekor skep 'n prageffek. Die badkamers (tot die stoeptoilette) is mildelik uitgerus wat handdoeke en hand- en lyfwasseep betref. Colleen en Charlie geen moeite ontsien nie om jou verblyf uitstaande te maak, soos warm sop omdat ons ver gereis het, braaihout wat kosteloos verskaf is en flinke diens soos in 'n restaurant wanneer hulle daar is. Ons kan ook die smaaklike 2 gang ontbyt aanbeveel - die eerste keer dat ek doiliepannekoek eet! Ekstra dinge soos die toilette op die stoep, gee beslis 'n ekstra ster by. Colleen se 45 jaar in die gasvryheidsbedryf en Charlie se vernuf kan in alles gesien word. Hulle gasvryheid het van ons ander wynkringlede wat kom inloer het, verstom. The Calitz is beslis die plek om te bly in Calitzdorp.

Wonderful, stylish, quality accommodation, thanks to Charlie and Colleen who go out of their way to make it happen.

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.

Stylvol, onberispelik netjies, gasvry.

Die gastehuis was 'n ware plesier in alle opsigte: Onberispelik skoon en netjies, stylvolle interieur en ongelooflike gasvrye eienaars. Die gastehuis moet deur almal beleef word wat op Calitzdorp oornag. Die ruim sitkamer wat ook dien as eetkamer vir ontbyt is 'n pragtige vertrek en het 'n heerlike kaggel met 'n yskas wat deur die gaste gebruik kan word. Genoeg hout is voorsien om die winterkoue te verdryf. Die ruim buitebraai area met sy plonspoel en mooi onderdak patio sal beslis in die somer besonder geniet word. Ons was 'n groep en die eienaars het uit hul pad gegaan om na elkeen se besondere behoeftes om te sien en ons met allerhande verrassings te akkommodeer soos port by ontvangs en warm sop die aand vir almal om te geniet soos wanneer dit hulle pas. Self ons sleepwaentjie kon ons by die eienaars se huis parkeer! Die ontbyt word met fyn smaak voorgesit en is beslis die moeite werd.

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.

Kamers onberispelik skoon en in goeie smaak gemeubileer en die eienaars het ons ten spyte van 'n vol gastehuis die naweek laat voel of hulle alles net vir ons doen. Uitstekende kliëntediens. Sal The Calitz altyd aanbeveel en sal indien ons weer in Calitzdorp moet oorbly weer daar bly. Tariewe baie billik.

Great value for money, cleanliness, friendliness and general hospitality.

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.

Wat 'n juweel. Charlie en Colleen het hierdie plek so mooi ingerig. Ons was die enigste mense daar en het baie lekker gebly. Volgende keer beslis langer.

Wonderful, and wonderful again.

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.

Hi Alessandro,
Thank you so much for your lovely review. Our price will stay the same, so please come back and visit us again.

An amazing place to stay - Colleen and Charlie are divine.

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.

A contemporary gem.

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.

Hi Sonja,
Thank you so much for your kind words, it is greatly appreciated. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you back in Calitzdorp soon.

Beautiful place, very kind hostess.

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.

Verblyf was heerlik rustig en aangenaam. Colleen het moeite gedoen om jou verblyf hier 'n ervaring te maak.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang deur Colleen en sy het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tuis te laat voel. The Calitz is 'n pragtige plek en ons het ons verblyf daar baie geniet. Beslis waarde vir geld. Pragtige braai-area en lekker plekkies om rustig te sit en lees ens. Colleen se dekor en "attention to detail" is opmerklik en in goeie smaak. Beveel The Calitz sonder huiwering aan.

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.

'n Fantastiese moderne plekkie.

Die verblyf is uitstekend geleë, halfpad op pad Oos-Kaap toe van die Kaap. Ek sal aanraai dat almal daar stop en oorbly vir 'n paar dae! Kamers is groot, verskriklik mooi ge-"decorate", deur Colleen die eienaar, baie talentvol en "very artistic". Daar is 'n swembad om in af te koel terwyl jy braai! Beveel definitief aan, gaan weer volgende jaar - daar is ook baie aktiwiteite in Calitzdorp van breakfast by The Rose of Karoo, wynproe by Boplaas en Die Krans, aandete by 'n Italian plekkie waar jy pizza eet in die wingerde tot perdry!

This review is being shown in its original language.

A fantastic modern place.

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!

Welcoming, comfortable stop-over with plunge pool.

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!

The Calitz 's response

Hi Tory, Matt, Stacey & Oli,

Thank you so much for choosing the Calitz and your review. We have tried to contain the evilness of smoking to certain areas of the guesthouse to accommodate all of our guests needs, we apologize if this was offensive to you. so glad that you enjoyed the rusks which brought back good memories to you. Hope to see you back in Calitzdorp.

Kind regards,
Colleen & Charlie
