Calitzdorp Country House
Calitzdorp Western Cape, Accommodation
Built in the style of a gentleman's country residence, the House is serendipitously situated in the little town of Calitzdorp, at the heart of the Klein Karoo, offering spectacular views across a lush green valley to the majestic Swartberg Mountains beyond.
Extravagantly furnished with antiques, Persian rugs and original art, it boasts every amenity you would expect from a five-star guest house including air conditioning throughout.
An elegant dining room, spacious lounge, five individually decorated luxurious bedrooms, voluptuous bathrooms with baths spacious enough for a tryst, pool with shady gazebo, and a quiet, elegant ambience, and Calitzdorp Country House has to be the destination for visitors to the region. |

Five luxurious air-conditioned bedrooms, each with its own private patio, garden and fountain, are furnished throughout with Victorian, Cape and French antiques and graced with a fabulous collection of original South and West African paintings, carvings and bronzes.
Original Oregon wood floors provide the perfect mirrored showcase for a collection of Persian rugs, adding to the overall elegance. En suite bathrooms include shower, twin washbasins on hand-selected Italian granite slabs and best of all, outsize baths that invite intimate candle-lit assignations.
The decorator's theme extends to the elegant and spacious dining and sitting rooms, where languid ceiling fans, hand crafted in the colonial style, produce gentle swirls of cooling air. In hotter conditions, air conditioning throughout the house easily copes with your need for comfort.
Dining and sitting rooms flow seamlessly out to a flagstone-paved courtyard, ideal for fresh morning breakfasts or al fresco dining on hot still summer evenings, or just for lazing, drink in hand, to enjoy the scenery. The courtyard's restful water fountain presides over the long view westwards across a blue salt-water swimming pool and gazebo, over green vineyards and lush orchards, to the stark and dramatic Swartberg (Black Mountains) beyond.
