Sadly most of the Karoo towns we passed through are reflect the poverty and neglect of the Northern Cape with deteriorating infrastructure and litter everywhere. Sad to see this beautiful part of our country being forgotten by the National Government.

Pity we couldn't find a nursery to buy some plants but then again it was a Saturday. Safe town to walk around in. NG church building and yard is kept in a good condition. Impressive building. The blue Nartjie's food was we prepared and tasty. The pizzas at Ciela's was excellent! Both places seems to be very popular.

Calvinia is a very clean quite Karoo Dorp. Did not have time to visit the museum, but sure it would be very interesting. Beautiful Church, the big postbox and Morris cafe across the road. Bought the best karoo Lamb at Calvinia Butchery. Had the best view and excellent sundown.

The flowers were lovely. The shops have everything you need (pre-made salads available at the spar). The town currently has a water shortage and although they have water available, one must use water sparingly. There are some very persistent beggars.

Everything was perfect, property is clean in and out. Room is spacious with a huge comfortable bed. Host is amazing and friendly. To improve, just add few lights at the gate as it get very dark and a bit scary. Next time I will come earlier so I can enjoy the Braai facility and the view outside.

Excellent host. Dawn is very friendly and enquired everyday if we are still happy and if we need anything. Superb breakfast! Quiet and safe location! Very spacious accommodation and super clean and neat inside.
