We love this guesthouse which is why we came back. It is just like staying with friends. Nel’s cooking alone is worth coming for. Dinner and breakfast are equally good. The view from the terrace is great, especially at sunset.

This is a great place to spend a couple of days to explore the area which at first doesn't seem to have much interest but in fact has a lot of history behind it. The accommodation was excellent and we were well looked after by the Rogers family. A great place to stay.

Andrew and Nell offer a warm welcome to their comfortable home. The room we had, can’t remember the number, was large, as was the bathroom. They cope well with load shedding and we enjoyed watching the F1 Grand Prix with Andrew and other guests while Nell cooked up a delicious meal for us. The guide book in our bedroom was really informative about the area.

My husband and I booked at Calitzdorp country house at the last minute when we realised we had miscalculated our travel time on the way to Cape Town. Nel and her husband Andrew welcomed us with open arms. They were so kind and hospitable. The accommodation was very comfortable and the food excellent. We discovered a gem in the the Karoo - worth the time to stop and explore the small towns with big hearts.

Stayed overnight after a visit to Cango Caves and Swartberg pass. Hosts very friendly. Accommodation spacious and comfortable. Had dinner in the evening, very enjoyable. Not an issue for us but no choice available. Having said that I believe host does cater for such as vegans

Absolutely amazing. The food, view and hosts. Thanks Andrew and Nell for an awesome stay and experience. If you tour route 62, the Calitzdorp Country House is a must. You will meet the most casual hosts, and the best cook! Not to mention the home made chillie jam. Nyam!

What a magnificent venue and hosts, Andrew and Nell, you made our two night stay memorable! The breakfasts and dinners were out of this world. We had such a wonderful time and it felt if we knew you for years. The sunsets on the stoep were breathtaking and the serenity we experienced by just taking in the sheer beauty of nature, was so much needed and appreciated. A real gem in Calitzdorp.

We had an amazing time at the Calitzdrop Country House!! We booked two rooms last minute and are so grateful we found this gem! Andrew and Nell are AMAZING hosts. They went out of their way multiple times to make us feel comfortable!! The food Nell creates is stunning and delicious so be sure to give it a try. We stayed for several nights and would stay here many times over. The negative reviews here do not do this place nor the owners justice.
