All rooms are en suite and fall into six different categories ( suite, luxury, honeymoon, family, standard and self-catering apartment ), each with it's own facilities.

Garden and Pool

Start your day with a hearty breakfast on the terrace, overlooking the large swimming pool and garden with the high steeple of the historic church as background.

During a lazy afternoon or after a busy day, many of our guests enjoy a sundowner in the garden gazebo. Some also opt to do their own braai in the garden, rather than having a meal at a restaurant in town.

Our secluded garden will offer you true tranquility right in the centre of town.

Children are welcome by arrangement - and Vlekkie the Jack Russell will be their host!

A Sparkling invitation

The 9 x 5m large pool provides cool relief during the hot summer months. It is surrounded by sunny as well as shady patches.The salt water pool ensures a healthy and bright conduction of the filtered water.

Breakfast area

A hearty hot breakfast and cold buffet is served. Choose your table inside the breakfast room or move outside onto the terrace. Tables are usually laid for two, but for groups there is a large table. Alternatively, smaller tables are put together, because this is where some fascinating conversations usually start.

The coffee pot is refilled time and again whilst mutual topics are discovered. It is especially at breakfast time that you will find Johan exchanging ideas with his guests and helping them plan their day.

Self catering

For those guests who prefer self actering accommodation, there are 8 units with a kitchenette and the necessary facilities.On this basis room service will be tendered twice per week.

If these guests would like to enjoy breakfast with us, they would be most welcome to arrange thus with us!

Lounges

Our formal lounge is a wonderful place for reading and also for meeting with fellow travelers or colleagues around the large table.

As an alternative, there is a cosier lounge with comfortable leather couches and fireplace. This is the meeting place in winter, especially when sharing a nice glass of Port or Red wine.

You might want to use our chess and the table for playing card games.

Conferencing

The spacious family lounge in Caledon Villa is ideally suited for presentations, meetings, workshops and conferences.

The venue has a very special ambience, a fire-place, yellow-wood table and chairs and can be isolated from the ordinary guest house activities.

Groups not exceeding 10 persons can be provided for. Breakfast, lunch and or tea time will be prepared and served on the terrace overlooking the garden area. Rates to be negotiated.
