Calitzdorp is situated in the heart of the Klein Karoo on the famous Route 62 and is also called the Port Wine Capital of South Africa, with seven port and wine cellars
in its district.

Halfway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, as well as the Addo Elephant Park, Calitzdorp and the Port Wine Guest House is the ideal location from where to explore the Klein Karoo and the Garden Route, while enjoying sunny skies almost
every day of the year.

Surrounded by majestic and ancient mountain ranges, Calitzdorp is ideal for exploring mountain passes, the Cango Caves, or go mountain biking, hiking, doing 4X4 routes or just taking a scenic drive at a leisurely pace. Or, visit the oldest working ostrich farm in the world, do bird watching or see the magic of the meerkat for yourself.

Calitzdorp is also the ideal area to see the largest collection of succulents,
of which many are endangered.
