The four-star graded Queen of Calitzdorp guesthouse is situated in the centre of Calitzdorp which is famous as the "Port Wine Capital" of South Africa. Several wine cellars and restaurants are within walking distance.
Our fifteen luxury rooms are furnished to the highest standard with elegant solid wood furniture. The bathrooms boast glass enclosed showers and the basins have granite vanity tops. Two rooms can be converted to family rooms. Rooms with balconies have views over the adjacent Boplaas vineyards and the Nels river valley or over the town towards the Swartberg mountain range.
Rich gold brocade drapes frame the wooden sash windows and double doors throughout the dining and lounge areas. A traditional bull-nose stoep roof surrounds the face of the building and the annex, and a short walk through our beautiful garden brings one to the shady pool terrace. The whole experience is airy and cool, much needed during Klein Karoo summers.
Breakfast menus are changed regularly to reflect seasons and to celebrate the local food and wine festivals. We source local and grow our own where possible. We believe in using fresh, raw ingredients and the very best quality meats, eggs, cheeses, etc. available in the area. A welcome glass of port is always available. Pool-side service is available during the day.
Day trips in the area can be suggested for self-drive or arranged for you with our tour guide partners.
The Queen of Calitzdorp is largely powered by solar panels and we have implemented up-to-date environmental standards throughout. The beautiful gardens are watered utilising grey and rainwater storage tanks; saving precious water which is important in the semi-arid Klein Karoo.
Green. Because We Care.
