Peaceful Scenic and the natural hot mineral Springs are just the very best ever.This was our 4th visit but it was the best as the chalet itself was hygienically clean bedding crockery and cutlery etc were all in an excellent and Covid condusive condition.Loved the peacocks at our kitchen door and springbok and a naughty baboon.The staff were very helpful.The one thing that could be sorted out is those very deep steps that lead down from the chalets 4 onwards as its an accident prone area for the more senior citizens and also level the grass to prevent slipping on the sand after last step.More lighting needed at that point.But as I mentioned the best break away for us.

The Calizdorp Spa is always nice and relaxing. The heat of the water is fantastic warm and very relaxing. Houses clean inside and staff friendly. The place just needs a bit renovation. Will always go back.

The resort is a bit run down, but clean and neat, with good ablutions. We camped here for 3 days and had an enjoyable relaxed stay. The swimming in the hot water pool was most enjoyable. Excellent value for money

The pools are very nice and hot. So if you going for the pools, its perfect. The accomodation can do with a bit of a nicer touch and the overall upkeep of the place is a bit neglected. Bit at the end of the day its nice for a weekend and not longer

We had a romantic weekend in mind but our neighbors on both sides were having a massive party and couldnt even sleep, this continued into the early hours of the morning. There are only two warm pools and personally it was a waste of time and money. To top it off it takes just over a month to get your money back as we decided to cut our stay short.

This is the right place to go and recharge your batteries. The pool side cottage had a face lift. Darrell always ready to assist. We will be there every year. Right place to use as a base to explore the area. Philippe from Durban.

The contrast of Karoo hills with the greenery and pools is great! The chalets are very basic, but the area is spacious and safe.Kids and adults can enjoy the warm mineral rich pools as well as large cold pools. Tame springbok and cats wander around the lawns and the nights are brightly starred and quiet.

Could do with an upgrade.. Road to resort very bad. Very far out of town.only basic products at the tuckshop.it was summer and the water was to hot to relax in, maybe the place will be more enjoyable in winter

Scenic spot for a bit of peace and quiet. Running water & electricity a must have for me and the fans in the bedroom and living area added to the comfort levels. Immaculate swimming pools for adults and a safer one for kids let you cool off during the day. There are naturally heated mineral pools for when it gets a bit chilly ! Peacocks, Springbok and lots of cats roam through the place. Bring mosquito nets and or cremes if youre sensitive! Beds are utilitarian, yet comfy. You might want to bring your faveourite pillow / duvet.

Calitzdorp spa is a lovely place to enjoy the natural hot springs and has both chalets and camp sites. It isnt as well maintained as it used to be years ago and is a bit run down these days. Day visitors tend to spoil the experience. I would rather go the Karoo Water next door.

Love this place because the water is natural and not heated artificially. Also not crowded out and decent camping plots. Springbok herd here and several options for accommodation in chalets. Staff very pleasant.

Review №47

Nice nature and natural. However R600 out of season = no towels, no braai grid (rent at extra cost), no washing detergent for dishes, not even a candle for when the power is off. Linen is washed but full of marks. There is an apparent lack of management.

Review №48

Not to bad for a 2 day weekend, if you just want to get away from the city, 1 kiddies pool, 1 adult pool , 1 hot pool. The facilities looks run down has not been maintained. Basic facilities at the chalets. No mirror if you planning to shave bring one along. Other than the pools there wasnt much activities for the kids. Hence the low rating but if you just looking to get away for a weekend then try it out. Once only

Amazing. Always live going here. The hot pools are a great way to relax and take the family. If you like watching tv and being entertained by stimulus then this is not for you.I prefer the old hot pool, please bring it back

You seriously need to pull up your socks, the place was so empty during January 2015 Holidays. One of the toilets in the main building had poo all over it and it was like that for more than 1 day???? No toilet paper in main building. Music being played by campers until late that we could hear down by the pool area.On a positive note: The pool area was well maintained.I visited Calitzdorp about 10 years ago and it was amazing, what happened? Unless you sort it out I can see this beautiful venue closing.

Review №92

This is an awesome place,the cold pools are sparkling, the hot pool is very hot as it is the temperature at which it bubbles from the earth, this place begs for proper management to turn it into the 5star facility it could be, nobody was available to show us the chalets, the day facilities for picnics are beautiful, only a tuck shop on the premises, so take whatever you need with you

Review №95

Made use of the camping area, it was quite clean and open. There were springbok, tortoise and cats roaming the grassy area. The inside hot bath was way too hot for any normal person to sit in. The restaurant was closed and unfortunately we missed the wooden hut too by the time we realised there was no other food for purchase. The cold pools were clean enough, except for a bit of algae on the sides - a good scrub needed here. The road to the spa before the turnoff was terrible which didnt make for a good start. Admin service was terrible - my calls went unanswered and my email was only responded to 2 days after that with the majority of my queries being ignored as I was only sent a booking form - with increased rates different to their website - even while taking peak rates into account.
