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 five star service to match. All rooms are airconditioned and bathrooms have underfloor heating for cosy winter dalliances in huge baths big enough for a romantic twosome. In the summer, breakfasts are served alfresco 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.
