I've stayed in Calitzdorp and it's surrounds several times and I love it. If you're a traveler to South Africa, you need to plan to also go over the mountains separating the coastal Western Cape FROM the Klein Karroo. The Western Cape coastal influence is frankly tamer, albeit very beautiful BUT is very reminiscent of parts of Europe. The Klein Karroo is hasher in geography, topography, agriculture and people. It's pure magic AND the people are very friendly and helpful. Go there, it's a good experience.

Die Bakhius was great for a easy supper. TTT wines and "the liquor that cannot be called Port" were excellent The architecture is interesting. The weather was exceptionally hot and you may, ideally, want to go in autumn or spring, for example, during the Port Festival

Challenged myself by walking a few miles from Calitzdorp towards Oudtshoorn on the R62 ,enjoying the last of the Autumn sun.Alongside the road lot of cars past me,i didnt care about them. I was surounded by the beautiful landscape of Mountains ,karoo bossies and clear blue sky.Got a few honks from the heavy vehicles passing me by.That encouraged me even more .Made the walk pleasant experience.Few miles from my destination,i got tired and gave in.Got a lift from passing car.My phone was off.Must say pictures could not do justice for this walk. Must experience it your self. My resting place tonight is amazing .....i needed this ,after hectic working long weekend.Favorite place were the Museum.They also have bikes to hire at the Calitzdorp Tourism centre near the garage.Winetesting with the friendly staff

This little Klein Karoo town has a wonderful bygone era atmosphere. It's quiet, and all the amenities are closely set among the town centre, making walking around a great way to discover little hidden gems, like the Museum. There are plenty of wine tasting options too, some further away that would need the use of a car. Restaurant options are limited, which is disappointing. I also felt quite safe walking around, which was a great bonus! Go, you'll enjoy it, and two nights is enough!

No fine dining but great for wine tasting. We sampled The Kranz under their grape vines, The Calitzdorp Cellar (stunning terrace view), Boplass. Lastly driving down a safe gravel road so typical of being off the beaten track and stopping at Du Swa Roo where we enjoyed informal fun tasting wines with the delightful and knowledgable Riana, sampling wine and tapas. We hope to return one day:)

Calitzdorp is good for one or two nights stay. It is a small town with not too much to do, about five lovely wine farms and a historical walk through town. Not many options at night where to have a meal although we did find the Bakhuis, with devine pizza's. I would definitely want to go back but this time to do some hiking trails and mtb.
