Caledon Grace Guesthouse

A charming stop over for us on our way back from Cape Town. Lovely old-world setting, really friendly staff, and a great breakfast 😀

Beautiful landscape, secluded and secure

The manager is super friendly and made us feel at home. The cottage is absolutely lovely.

Beautiful old property, good proximity to the spa

The room was unfortunately very dusty /not the cleanest and the bed quite old.

Far and away one of my favourite overnight stays ever. So much so that we extended by a night due to how much we loved the place. The house is exquisite and the grounds are equally as beautiful, with old world charm and elegance. The breakfast was delicious. The managers and staff felt like family, and treated us like we belonged there, which made all the difference. Cannot wait to go back and visit again :)

There is nothing not to like. It's as close to perfect as I think an accommodation can get, for us personally in any case.

Loved the heritage, the vibe, the staff, the bar, the food, the garden, the animals, the beds, the shower, the deco and on and on and on!

Amazing stay ❤️

Nothing

Breakfast was great, the place was very neat and tidy and staff was very friendly

It was very cold in the house. More could have been done to heat the place especially in winter.

It was beautiful and elegant!

Loved every second of my stay and am part of the history of this English Manor Guesthouse 🙏

The Guesthouse is beautiful with a vintage charm. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the room was stunning.

Nothing about the Guesthouse, just the limited halaal options in Caledon

Petrus was very friendly and helpful when we checked in. We were much later than indicated and it was no problem. He went out of his way to help us. He also booked a restaurant for us. The room was lovely, bed comfortable and we had everything we needed. The garden and outlook from the verandah was beautiful and we loved having breakfast out there.

Beautiful property, super staff and lot of value for money. In house bar, delicious food, games, play area, pool, veggie garden and safe parking. Great stop close to the N2, garden route, Hermanus, Wine lands, and only 80 min from Cape Town. Definitely coming back.

The cottage we stayed in was spacious and comfortable,sorry we only stayed the night,great for a weekend getaway.

Looking forward to them getting their liquor liscence,will be nice to enjoy a bottle of wine with dinner.

Room was very nice -

breakfast was terrible Loud music played until after 3am in the morning - windows rattled throughout the night

Very comfortable, clean and cozy room with a beautiful view of the mountain and garden. Staff were super friendly and the breakfast was delicious. Will definitely return.

Nothing.

Genuint, mycket trevlig personal. Fint att det kunde ordnas fram en enklare trerätters vid vår ankomst på kvällen.

Kallt på kvällen i huset/rummet.

We were there for a wedding and the staff were absolutely incredible. They went above and beyond to help us with anything we needed. I have never experienced more helpful and friendly people at a guesthouse.

Es handelt sich um ein besonderes, historisches Gebäude, das liebevoll restauriert wurde. Da wir kein Abendessen vorbestellt hatten, durften wir die Hotel Künsche nutzen, um eigenes Essen zuzubereiten.

Das Haus ist etwas hellhörig, was der historischen Bausubstanz geschuldet ist.

C’est très beau et apaisant. Le cadre est superbe et bien entretenu.

We vonden het geweldig. Vriendelijke, gastvrije ontvangst. Heerlijke kamer en natuurlijk de prachtige tuin. Een goede herinnering en ik hoop er ooit nog eens terug te mogen komen.

Location was excellent.

AC wasn't working had to wait to fix it, no wardrobe hangers, no hairdryer, would not offer us dinner on site, and suggested some dive of a pizza place down the road. Breakfast was a joke had to wait 45 mins for coffee and the breakfast when it did arrive was pretty poor. All basic stuff guys, give this one a miss, I pity the couple who were getting married there on the day we left.

best stay ever, look for room no 1

i had to leave to soon

Loved the location and the beautiful spot. So central in the district with magnificent day trips to Hermanus, Greyton, franschoek, Stellenbosch and Bettys Bay. The house itself is a fantastic heritage piece, and the staff and food is 5 star!

De prachtige patio aan de achterzijde

De ontvangst was in 1e instantie wat terughoudend, men had net een gezelschap van een bruiloft achter de rug en men was nog niet helemaal voorbereid op onze komst. We waren wel eerder dan gepland. Even wachten bleek lastig en we werden verzocht om in een nabij gelegen dorpje een rondje te doen en later terug te komen. Gelukkig werd alles later wel goedgemaakt.

Breakfast was lovely, the room and cottage was cosy and beautiful

Nothing

We loved the setting surrounded by nature with a view of the mountain. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They do a great breakfast with an option for every taste. Our daughter loved the animals and the pool. They have great braai facilities.

The safes in the rooms are not bolted down so pretty pointless.

We entered the property with the most beautiful and friendliest smile from Petrus. He was amazing throughout. Then we met Lorenzo, Lizelle and William. We left there feeling like we made family. The team at Caledon Grace Guesthouse demonstrated an admirable level of professionalism, paired with sincere warmth, attention to detail and willing to go above & beyond for anyone staying at the property. Myself and my partner really grew attached to them because they were so friendly and held amazing conversations about the guest house, Caledon itself and other interesting conversations, but at the same time, doing their duties thoroughly managing the house and all guests with such deep care and understanding. When we searched for a place, my partner, Jean-Pierre, saw the piano and immediately booked it for that reason as he is a professional pianist. We sang and played piano almost daily but we were considerate of the other guests and kept asking if it's okay. The other guests and all staff immensely enjoyed that too, which gave me an idea for your place, you could definitely have "high teas"in the afternoon as the space is so beautiful and will compliment that idea. High teas in cape town is really pricey but people of all ages enjoy it. The other thing we had an idea about and shared with the staff, is selling Pizzas for lunch and dinner, because of the wonderful new pizza oven. We tried it for the first time, had lots of fun with mistakes being made but Petrus in particular REALLY loved the idea and hopefully he can take that idea forward to grow your business. Every detail from the hair shampoo (which we asked for the supplier's details because it was that amazing for our hair) in the bathroom to the air conditioned room, to the breakfasts, were well thought out, well executed and the cleanliness were on point. Our interactions with the management was the best part of our experience at the guest house. They are truly GOLD.

Хорошее и безопасное местоположение, тихий двор, очень интересный интерьер дома, парковка во дворе, хороший завтрак.

Не было вешалок для одежды в шкафах, очень маленький холодильник, на окнах не было москитной сетки и при проветривании очень много комаров залетает в номер.

Sweet dreams ✅ hot shower ✅ strong WiFi ✅ sparkling pool ✅ super staff ✅ good food ✅ super service ✅ great garden ✅ = 100 procent relaxation and satisfaction!

Small boutique guesthouse with amazing service. Nightmanager on site to assist with everything we needed. Loved to stay in this monumental building that had all modern comforts! Never had such fast Wifi anywhere and the pool, I still dream about it. Oh and food was also sublime, both breakfast and dinner. definitely coming back for longer stay.

Kids said pancakes were great !

Would be awesome if there was a coffee machine in the bedrooms

The vintage look

Food was not available on the property. Need to order a day before.

Sehr schönes altes Haus, mit gepflegter grosser Umgebung. Netter Staff. Frühstück, ohne grosse Auswahl, aber sehr lecker und genug. Das Guesthouse können wir empfehlen für einen kurzen Aufenthalt.

Beautiful house and garden, very friendly staff and good breakfast.

Pool was dirty and not for use. The location is very dodgy and there are no decent facilities like restaurants around. Only fast food and the very bad casino restaurant. The kitchen can’t be used.

Absolutely loved the peace and tranquility! Paradise found! I will definitely return, but stay for at least a week

Broken toilet seat Air-conditioned ineffective and extremely noisy. It was very hot in the room but the air on failed to give relief. We had to ask for a flat sheet as it was too hot to sleep under a duvet. Hot water supply in the shower intermittent. It was very difficult to get up and down the steep flight of stairs to our room. We would not have booked here had we known about this.

Out in the middle of nowhere, very woodsy forestry vibes. You can hear the sound of nature and the air is so clean.

The shower had no hot water. Fridge in the room was the size of a shoe box.

The house has wonderful character and the staff are fantastic. The pool was a great bonus.

The stairs are quite steep in the house, so useful to consider if you are physically impaired to book rooms on the grond level. That said the staff were very helpful with my mother.

Beautiful, friendly and calm

A beautiful house with extremely friendly staff.

Sound from other rooms travels easily and could be a problem but it’s understandably an old house

Incredibly clean and cozy and a lovely peaceful location. Fantastic staff who showed around the property. Very good breakfast with ingredients grown/sourced from the garden!

Staff was outstanding and went out of their way to make me feel welcome

Extrem freundliche Menschen die dort arbeiten , um es einem so schön wie nur irgendwie möglich zu machen. Upgrade erhalten und ganz besonders gut geschlafen. Sogar mit Heizdecke, weil mir frisch war. Frühstück auf Wunsch und Abendessen kurzfristig dazugebucht, waren vorzüglich.

Beautiful maintained heritage building with extensive garden. Full service for outstanding breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff goes out of their way for you. Definitely coming back!

Petit déjeuner exceptionnel, personnel adorable, emplacement magnifique

Propreté à revoir (cendrier non vidé sur la terrasse du cottage par exemple), flexible de douche trop court et qui fuit, chambre non chauffée à notre arrivée.

Beautiful and tranquil atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff

No dining on the premises

So much value for money. Great spot to work and incredible helpful staff.

Room number 5 is so beautiful. The breakfast was simple but delicious. The day manager Lorenzo was a fantastic host. There is so much to take in and enjoy.

The little details made it perfect. It’s was a drizzling day but the staff overloaded us with warmth. Pre-heated blankets, Aircon on, hot chocolat and marshmallows and so. Rooms are very big and spacious and house is very well maintained. Loved the breakfast as wel. We will be coming back in summer to have a dip in the pool!

The property was iconic and beautiful. The attention to detail was impeccable! Grateful to the staff for making my husbands birthday special with the champagne birthday

The fact that we were not informed that that the bed will not be made unless communicated. There are some paranormal activities happening at night

The breakfast was a little underwhelming. They had run out of yogurt so we couldn't have any. Any self respecting guest house should serve proper filter coffee. They only had Nescafe instant. The toast was basic ordinary bread. Something home made would be nice.

There was an arrangement of dead flowers in our bedroom when we arrived. The bathroom is lovely - very glamorous and spacious. But the toilet bowl is badly stained. The electric underblanket only extended to half the bed.

Everything. I love the old Victorian style setting. Perfect place to stay! I will definitely be coming back again. The staff are all friendly and so welcoming. Thank you for having us over.

There was nothing that I didn't like. It was happy with my stay at Caldeon Grace Guesthouse!

Caledon Grace Guest house is a “Grand old dame” that’s really let the traveler a glimpse into past grandeur!!!😃

As seasoned travelers, we've come to expect a certain level of hospitality from guest houses. Unfortunately, our stay at Caledon Grace didn't meet our expectations. We typically appreciate thoughtful touches like a warm welcome drink on chilly days, a pre-heated/cooled room, and extra amenities. However, our experience was lacking in these areas. Moreover, the cleanliness wasn't up to par, with remnants like toothpaste smears on the basin. It's clear that smaller guest houses often focus more on personalized service to compensate for their size. Caledon Grace could benefit from prioritizing guest experience and attention to detail to stand out.

Lovely! Friendly, comfortable and big fireplace to keep warm!

It’s a beautiful building and the staff took great care of us. Nothing is too much. Making fires and putting heated blankets on the beds. The breakfast was served sizzling hot and looked 5 star quality. We also requested dinner and that was also amazing. The value for money was so good, and we are definitely coming back for a summer visit and a dip in the pool.

That we had to leave. We wished we could have stayed longer, felt so relaxed!

The location was idyllically located on a private, gated estate just on the outskirt of central Caledon, beautifully curated with manicured lawns and dreamy vintage feel. Every detail of the manor was lovely, from the creaky floors, to the winding stairs, the art pieces and the eclectic furnishings. Our bedroom was spacious with comfortable beds and a heater was provided to keep the room warm. The staff were friendly and helpful and very welcoming.

As with old, vintage homes, it has it's snags of old pipes, creaky windows and poor ventilation. We were in Room 3 and just below us, the guests decided to make a fire in the fireplace, which resulted in our room being smothered in smoke. We were out most of the day but it became unbearable at night and we slept with the windows open... in Winter. The shower pressure was very low and the shower temperature was tepid, and for a Winter stay - this was not pleasant. We left with dampened spirits and all our clothes reeking of smoke, with a tight chest and happy to get out of the smoke stench room. I recommend, don't go in winter when a hot shower is needed and a fireplace would not be lit.

Staff were amazing, super warm welcome, specifically catered halal food for us for breakfast which was truly incredible and appreciated seeing that level of inclusivity. Grounds were beautiful, breakfast was delicious, super close to the Hot springs but perfectly isolated and peaceful at the same time

Absolutely amazing stay! So happy to have discovered this gem, the friendliness of the staff, awesome breakfast, best spacious room ever! Finally Caledon has a top of the range boutique hotel.

Zero don’t change a thing!!

It was the best stay in our entire holiday. Even though it’s not in a vibrant city, we felt close to the culture and people and the spot itself is a little peace of paradise. We drove through the Hemel and Aarde Valley for some winetastings and ended up here; so sad we had to leave for Cape Town the next day again!

We loved it all! Do keep in mind it’s a historically and almost 200 year old Victorian building; if you expect white marble and modern furniture this is not your spot. If your looking an truly authentic stay, don’t hesitate to visite!

Everthing was wonderful. The staff were exceptional. The room beautifully decorated, beds comfy, wonderful fireplace, nice porch overlooking the garden. My only issue was that on Booking.com it specified 2 beds. There was only one bed. But it wasn't a problem.

Charm! Charm of the old Victorian building, charm of the garden, charm of the staff; everything is full of character. Needed to stay for work (location very convenient in Overberg district) but will be back for some leisure for sure. Thanks team!

It’s an amazing place, the pics don’t do its justice enough. Beautiful rooms, garden and tasty breakfast, and the staff made us felt so at home! We never actually had so much value for money.. chocolate, fresh flowers, welcoming drinks..5 starts for sure!

Nothing! We will be back

I was a bit disappointed upon arrival, as the property appeared quite a bit older than how it was presented in the photos. I was expecting a more modern space based on the pictures, so it didn’t quite meet my expectations.

We were quite excited for our stay based on the photos and glowing reviews, but unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite meet our expectations. The property is significantly older than it appears in the pictures, which made our first impression a little underwhelming. The room we booked was shown with a bathtub, but it only had a shower, which was a bit disappointing. There were a few maintenance issues as well—such as the ledge on the large windows being broken, so they couldn’t lock properly. Thankfully, they didn’t open from the outside. The room was also very cold, and the heater provided wasn’t strong enough to warm up the space, making it quite uncomfortable during the night. Unfortunately, neither of us were able to get much sleep. The staff were very kind and tried to help by bringing firewood for the fireplace, which we appreciated. However, once we lit the fire, the room filled with a strong smell of firelighters, which irritated our eyes and throats even with the windows open. In the end, it made things worse rather than better. To top it off, the next morning we had no hot water. After running the tap for about 15 minutes with no change, we ended up boiling a kettle to wash up. That was a frustrating way to end our stay. We travel often and love discovering new places, and while we really wanted to enjoy this one, it just didn’t work out for us. The place clearly has charm and potential, and the staff were lovely, but it might be helpful for future guests if the listing more accurately reflects the current condition of the property. Everyone has different expectations, and this one just didn’t align with ours.
