No 5 was at the end of all the units with a table and chair outside to sit, have yr coffee and enjoy the view. The room was big, bed was comfy and had all the amenities that is needed. With a Restuarant on site.. just 80 steps from my room ( I counted). Lovely outside area to sit under the trees. Braai facilities. Everything is there for you to enjoy. Being in Calitzdorp was fantastic as my ancestors started the "dorp". The Museum is just up the road with so much history of how it all started. So.. yes..I enjoyed my stay and wished I booked another day.

I enjoyed my stay and don't have any complaints.

The hosts were very welcoming when we arrived and were very helpful. The evening meal on site was very good. A pleasant environment.

We booked a room with a large double bed but when we arrived we were told that that room as not available. The room we got was perfectly fine except that the double bed was small (also the duvet was too thick). The breakfast was ok but we would have preferred to be able to help ourselves to cereal, yogurt and fresh fruit rather than just being given our allocation. We would have liked to say goodbye when we left but the hosts were not around.

Loved the breakfast especially the fruit, yoghurt and muesli. The staff were very attentive and ready to serve with a smile. The room was spacious and clean, with a lovely appearance i.e. the cushions and throw. We certainly loved the warm shower. We made use of the garden to enjoy a cup of tea and the pleasant surroundings.

I found the double bed a little "small". I would have liked a more comfortable chair to relax in . The one in the room was functional.

I really enjoyed my stay. The host were really friendly and accommodating. The room is big and equipped with everything I needed and more. Everything felt so authentic and warm. The beds are really comfy and even had electric blankets. It well situated, away from the "noise" in the main road, but still central. Although I never knew the street could be so busy. I enjoyed the breakfast as well. For what I paid, it definitely exceeded my expectations.

If I have to be critical, I think the breakfast could do with some finishing touches. It was tasty for sure, but it was lacking that something extra. Maybe dropping the scoop of mushrooms for another piece of toast or the piece of boerewors for another piece of bacon. Also the shower head isn't the greatest, but I do understand there are water shortages.

The room was very clean spacious and comfortable it was one of the Karoo Life cottages. Superb hosts and fabulous boxer dog called Liffey. We ate at the guest house in the evening on the stoep and the food was excellent. Lovely friendly atmosphere with other guests. Excellent breakfast - the largest fruit salad yogurt and museli I’ve ever encountered! My husband’s full English was also excellent.

The owners and staff of this B&B are incredibly nice. Moreover the rooms and the garden are beautiful. The showers work well and the beds are extremely comfortable. They even thought about electric heat pads for the cold days but also have airconditioning for the hot days! The breakfast is also nice and a good variety of everything. It is amazing to watch the stars at night in the garden and the village the accomodation is located in overall feels very safe. One of the rooms has a lovely balcony and last but not least they have the sweetest dog walking around. I have been here two times now and would recommend it to everyone!

The only recommendation we have is to offer a vegetarian option for the breakfast.

Perfectly located for visiting the port wine producers of Calitzdorp, and with friendly and welcoming staff (and the lovely dog, Liefie). Our room (Zebra) was spacious and very quiet. We enjoyed dinner at the restaurant on site, which was tasty and very reasonably priced. Breakfast in the morning was also very enjoyable.

We found our mattress a little firm for our taste, but it's just personal preference so not really a criticism.

Everything about the room was lovely. It was clean, lovely bed, good linen, warm with a lovely bathroom. There were also tea and coffee available in the room.

There was nothing not to like at Karoo Life. We recommend this B&B to everyone. Friendly staff, who made us feel welcome.

The room was large, comfortable bed in a good location. The restaurant was good and very convenient that it was in the property. We really liked our host Leslie who gave us good tips for wineries in the area.

Landscaping around the property could be improved.
