Excellent, clean, beautiful, neat and glad that there are people who keep it.
Years of memories based on Calitzdorp's train station, with traces of steel lying in front of your room, and where you sleep in the ticket office and realize outside your door is the platform that has been used by people for years. May this be preserved for our young people. Reception by Calitzdorp's friendly people is just something different for us. The facilities are clean and there are nice social evenings at the old parcel office which has been converted into a nice atmosphere where you can come and have a drink and gaze over the plains and tracks of Calitzdorp Train Station. Definitely a place you should never drive past without visiting the tracks of Calitzdorp and enjoying evenings under the stars and the wide open fresh air on the platform.

Great "glamping" experience, perfect overnight stop.
Wow what a surprise, super neat tent with a picturesque cliff for background, "very much glamping", the hidden farm pond pool is a winner, with the heat of Calitzdorp that pool is the ultimate relief after a trip. The only piece of advice for a more comfortable stay would be a fan, the heat makes that afternoon "powernap" not so pleasant. Oh yes, don't miss the ice cream.

Everything was very clean and tidy.
Really enjoyed it at the station. It's just a shame that some guests leave dishes just dirty and expect the workers to clean up after them. Tents only need a chair or table for your loose things, such as make-up etc.

Extremely weak. False impression created on advertisement. Not to recommend.
Room a few steps across from a hangout where people hung out noisily until late at night and rode trolleys on tracks after alcohol had clearly started to take over inhibitions. Shivering cold with only thin fleece blankets available. No washing or toilet facilities in room. We didn't come to camp. No place to hang clothes. Mirror mounted on rickety tomato box. Boiler faulty.

Beste Elmar
Ons is jammer om te hoor dat u ervaring by ons perseel nie aan u verwagtinge voldoen het nie.
Die beskrywing van die kamer, Kaartjie Kantoor #2, wat u self bespreek het, lui soos volg op die webwerf:
"Hierdie oopplan-erfenisgebou het slaapplek vir 4 gaste. Daar is 2 kaggels en 4 enkelbeddens wat op versoek as 2 koninggrootte-beddens opgemaak kan word. Die eenheid deel die gemeenskaplike ablusiegeriewe met storte en toilette. Beddegoed en badhanddoeke word voorsien, maar gaste word gevra om asseblief hul eie swemhanddoeke saam te bring."
Daar is 4 enkelbeddens met beddegoed wat duvets en snoeskombersies insluit – u was welkom om van die ekstra beddegoed op die ander twee beddens te gebruik indien nodig. Ons 24-uur personeel is ook altyd gereed om te help met ‘n vuurtjie in een van die twee kaggels, sou u ons genader het.
Baie dankie vir die voorstel oor ekstra hangplek vir klere. Ons sal dit beslis oorweeg. Ons is ook trots op die rustieke, handgemaakte krat wat as basis vir die lang spieël dien – dit pas mooi in by ons "ou rustieke" interieurstyl.
Die beskrywing van ons perseel lui:
"Die Stasie beskik oor 'n swembad, kroeg met lisensie, geriewe vir partytjies, troues en werkswinkels, en is binne 1 km vanaf die middedorp en verskeie winkels en restaurante."
Op die foto's is aangedui dat die kroeg, kroegstoep, Kaartjie Kantoor en treinspore redelik naby mekaar geleë is. Ons probeer ons bes om gaste by die kroeg te bestuur sodat almal mekaar kan respekteer. Die aand waarna u verwys, was die kuiergaste slegs tussen 20:20 en 22:35 op die perseel. Volgens ons rekords het die kroeg reeds om 22:40 opgehou werk en met die kassering begin.
Ons is nie seker wat u ondervind het met die ketel nie. Dit is getoets nadat ons u resensie ontvang het, en geen fout kon gevind word nie.
Ons was ongelukkig onbewus van enige probleme tydens u verblyf, anders sou ons graag gehelp het waar nodig.
Stasie groete

The Station accommodation is unique and full of character. The old station house and train tracks in front of the platform take you back to yesteryear when we could still ride trains in South Africa. The lounge and bar is also a winner.

The station's overnight tents are equipped with luxury bedding, their bathrooms are super clean and have a well-equipped kitchen. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The station is conveniently located. It was great! There is a power point in the tents, you just have to remember your own light. Fortunately, our loadshedding lamps were on holiday together.

The Station Calitzdorp is a diamond for sure. We enjoyed the evening so much that we wanted to stay longer. The owners are wonderful people with a passion for tourism and with the leisure pool and bar on site it is extremely convenient. Their tents were beautifully clean and comfortable and the ablution facilities so beautifully clean and cared for. Thank you for a lovely overnight stay.

We had a really nice stay! Just a suggestion: a shelf/table in the tent for the extra blanket and pillows, then it doesn't have to go to the ground. Maybe also a place to hang your wet towel.
