Description

5 Star Calitzdorp Country House is the ideal stopover to the Garden Route, only four hours out of Cape Town and halfway to Port Elizabeth.

Conveniently situated on scenic Route 62, the house is built and run in the style of a gentleman's country residence. It is positioned on a gentle slope with breathtaking views of the lush Nel's River Valley, across the indigenous garden, swimming pool, vineyards and orchards to the majestic Swartberg Mountains beyond.

Calitzdorp Country House is extravagantly furnished with original art, Victorian, French and Cape antiques and Persian rugs on gleaming wooden floors, all with 5 Star service to match. All rooms are air-conditioned and bathrooms have underfloor heating for cosy winter dalliances in huge baths big enough for a romantic twosome.

In the summer, breakfasts are served al fresco in the courtyard with its magnificent views, while the optional four-course dinner is a silver and crystal event, which includes complimentary sorbet, coffee and port. Escape with that special someone.

Great place. Allan and Lyne were the perfect hosts. The breakfast was a work of art. The Country House is filled with the most amazing collection of antique furniture which provides an ambiance of tasteful luxury. We really enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone. 5 stars are not enough.
