Calvinian Country Lodge and Restaurant

Calvinian Country Lodge and Restaurant is a lovely guest house situated in Calvinia. This attractive Karoo town lies in one of the largest wool-producing districts in South Africa, about halfway between Cape Town and Upington.

We offer four newly constructed rooms, all equipped with en-suite bathrooms, air-conditioning, panel heaters and bar fridges. All the rooms can sleep three guests comfortably with one double and one single bed in each.

A relaxed atmosphere has been created by allocating the largest possible area to the restaurant. The surrounding waterfalls are amplified by the structures and create a unique ambiance that ensures a memorable experience. Background music is always present and guests can request genres or specific artists. We constantly alter the menu to introduce new dishes ensuring interesting meals that accommodate the palates of all our guests. There is a fully stocked and ready bar for some downtime. Our venue is fully equipped to cater for parties, weddings, conferences and many other functions as well.

The Calvinia Museum, housed in an old Art Deco synagogue on Church Street, focuses on farming, transport and the lifestyle of the early inhabitants. The Tourism Office in the museum arranges guided walking tours of the town's special places of interest. Two trails through the Akkerendam Nature Reserve offer opportunities to admire the lovely flowers found only in this region.
