Karoo Life B&B

Karoo Life B and B is one of Calitzdorp's most historic houses. It was originally built by the town's blacksmith and carriage maker, Mr Blignault circa 1860 and retains many of the original features like beautiful yellow wood floors and doorframes. The house is situated on Queen Street that was, once upon a time, the towns main road. We are within walking distance to all the dorps amenities, restaurants, wineries, galleries, churches and many others. There is safe off street parking, beautiful, lush established gardens, sparkling swimming pool and a deck to sit and enjoy the magnificent Klein Karoo sunsets while sipping a glass of one of Calitzdorps re-known wines. We have two family rooms and two double rooms in the garden, all en-suite with airconditioning and tea and coffee making facilities. In the main house we have a double room upstairs. There is a lovely dining room where our sumptuous breakfasts are served. Come and enjoy the warm hospitality of the Klein Karoo.
