About
Description
Calvinia Hotel offers comfortable, air-conditioned accommodation in 25 rooms. There is a restaurant & bar on the premises and a swimming pool to cool down in. The hotel can also cater for conferences, weddings, …More and special events. Each room is air-conditioned, en-suite, with tea and coffee making facilities. There is also a small work table and chair, flat screen TV and a variety of selected DSTV channels to choose from. High-quality linen including towels is provided. Calvinia enjoys almost 80% starlight and the night sky is as much an attraction for city-dwellers and astronomers as the rare flora is for botanists and horticulturists. Imagine seeing 250 flowers per square meter, over hundreds of hectares ... a sight beyond description. Displays usually reach their peak towards the middle of July and draws to a close at the end of September.

The general feeling was that visitors and their money are always welcome but that the less money the owners can spend on maintenance the better. The hotel need a type of facelift and it is obvious that the owners do not intend to spend money....More
