Description

Karoo Life Bed and Breakfast is situated in Calitzdorp , the Port Wine capital of South Africa which is situated in the Western Cape on the well-known Route 62. It is within 1 hour's drive from the outstanding Cango Caves and the Garden Route.

Karoo Life is situated between Cape Town and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) which means a comfortable drive of around 4 hours from either destination. Alternatively George Airport is approximately 90 minutes drive and Mossel Bay is under 2 hours drive through the scenic mountain passes.

The building dates back to 1880 and has seen life as the home of the local blacksmith, lodging for overnight travellers, home of the local cobblers and more recently outstanding accommodation and food for travelers exploring the meandering route between Cape Town and Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth).

Karoo Life offers two rooms in the main house and 3 garden rooms. The main house serves as the communal social and dining areas. A large covered deck looks over the extensive garden, with views of the mountains and a tranquil swimming pool to relax in after a hard day of exploring the nearby wine cellars or adventuring into the valleys and nearby mountains.

Breakfast is served daily either in the magnificent yellowwood floor dining area in the main house or on the deck for those who want to enjoy the tranquility and views.

Salie Restaurant is conveniently situated on the premises and serve the best steaks in Calitzdorp, delicious wood-fired pizzas and Klein Karoo specialities such as lamb curry and lamb chops.
