31 December 2015

"Our overnight stay in Welgevonden was just divine - the sense and reality of the history of the homestead where we stayed -   its natural, farming surrounds, with lucerne lands and tractor and old, huge trees - lovely organic and shady garden - such a sweet welcome, making sure we were happy with everything  - a most delicious pool with just-the-right-temperature- water -for the exceptionally hot, dry days - and  a lovely breakfast to see us into the morning. Thank you! <br />"
"Lovely relaxing stay over"

19 May 2015

"We stayed over at Welgevonden Guest House on Tuesday 12 May 2015 as well as on 18 May 2015 on our return journey. The room and bathroom were very clean and the bedroom decorated with taste.The hosts are very welcoming - we were offered something to drink on arrival. A tasty breakfast was served in the mornings in the breakfast room in the main house while we had a lovely view on the garden and the cows grazing in the fields below the house.We shall definitively stay over here again."

"First class b&b in Calitzdorp"

24 April 2014

"My wife and I, and our son and his family, stayed a night in Welgevonden Guest House in April 2014; the absence of the owners, the Barrys, made no difference to the quality of the service. We have stayed there three times before and recommend it unreservedly. It is clean, comfortable, attractive, unpretentious."
