Calitzdorp - Heart of the Klein Karoo
Our five star country house is in the very heart of the Klein Karoo’s unique attractions, including the majestic Swartberg Mountains, the renowned Cango Caves, the stunning mountain passes and indigenous African flora and fauna, lies the little town of Calitzdorp, only four hours from Cape Town and ideally situated on Route 62 within a couple of hours driving time of all that is special in the region.
Also known as the ‘Port Wine Capital’ of South Africa, Calitzdorp is the fruit bowl of the Klein Karoo and the ideal stopover for travelers to the Garden Route and Port Elizabeth. Naturally, this enjoyment starts with the five wine cellars, famous for their Port wines that regularly win top local and international accolades. The area is also renowned for its indigenous flora, especially the 500 species of succulents, 200 of which are found nowhere else on earth. And not least, the stunning sunsets and glorious Karoo night sky with its billions of stars, unsullied by the city’s smog, will live long in your memory.
