Tarantula Guesthouse

A perfect cottage to spend the night.

The cottage is spacious, clean and has everything you need for a short stay.

Fantastiese ligging op die rand van Calvinia.

Ongelooflik stil en netjies met 'n privaat swembad en 'n braaiplek. Die gasstoof het baie handig te pas gekom gedurende loadshedding! Sal beslis weer daar gaan bly.

Best in Calvinia.

Tarantula Guesthouse was absolutely fantastic. Great pool, soft and clean beds, beautiful bathroom and stunning lawns. The owners are very hospitable. This accommodation was the best we had during our holiday.

Pleasantly surprised!

We arrived on a very very hot day to be blown away by the beautiful open and spacious guest house with stunning refreshing pool. Our stay was so comfortable and relaxing.

Had fun with our friends under the tree in front of unit number 1, nice shade and green grass, units very neat.

See stars.

Absoluut fantasties.

Ons het die eenheid gehad met die privaat swembad. Wat 'n heerlike ervaring, dit het gevoel of ons nog 'n paar dae wou bly. Pragtige, ruim eenheid met alles en nog meer wat jy sou benodig.

Home away from home.

The place was exceptionally clean, it had an air conditioner, DStv for the young one, pool and perfect view.

Pragtige plekkie.

Skoon en netjies. Alles was daar wat ons nodig gehad het en meer. Een van die beste plekke waar ek nog gebly het.

Uitstekende verblyf. Sal nooit weer op 'n ander plek oornag nie!

Veilige verblyf binne in die dorp, tog voel dit of jy op 'n plaas is. Smaakvol en alles wat jy nodig mag kry is daar! Julle sien ons beslis weer!

The best in Calvinia.

If you haven't been there yet, it's difficult to explain how great it is. Please try this.

Beautiful view of distant mountains.

If you love peace, and wide open spaces, then tarantula is great. Friendly owners.

Briljante plekkie.

Tarantula is 'n briljante klein plekkie op die rand van Calvinia, met 'n mooi uitsig sonder enige huise voor jou. Die huisies is baie goed toegerus met als wat mens nodig het. Ek sal dit vir enigiemand aanbeveel wat in die omgewing is en 'n lekker slaapplek soek.

Puik en absoluut waarde vir geld!

Ons was geweldig beïndruk met Tarantula! Ons het in die selfsorgeenheid oornag en die plek was uiters netjies, skoon, badkamer luuks en alles wat ons benodig het was in die eenheid! Dankie dat daar nog sulke plekke is waar mens kan oornag!

Outstanding accommodation in a superb setting.

We enjoyed our stay so much on the outward journey that we changed our route to stay there again on the way back home.

Uitstekend.

Baie netjies. Goed uitgelê. Gasvry ontvang. In een woord: uitstekend. Ons het baie lekker gebly.

Oulik.

Baie lekker gebly, die plek was pragtig skoon, baie privaat en veilig. Regtig waarde vir geld.

Fantastic Karoo experience.

We enjoyed the Karoo's peace and quiet. Would recommend. Thank you for your hospitality.

Wonderlike blyplek. Baie netjies, skoon en alle geriewe.

Ons is hartlik ontvang. Die woonplek is skoon in 'n uitstekende toestand. Dit was heerlik om in hierdie pragtige plek te oornag.

Ideaal geleë, loopafstand vanaf die dorp met die pragtigste uitsig vanaf die stoep.

Dit was heerlik om aan die buitewyke te bly, ek het die landelike atmosfeer baie geniet.

Rustige omgewing, netjies en skoon.

Definitief waarde vir geld en skoon. Volgens die foto's kon jy 'n goeie idee kry van hoe die verblyf lyk. Sal dit definitief weer gebruik vir verblyf.

Besonderse ligging met 'n lieflike uitsig. Die woning self is uitstekend ingerig.

Besonderse ligging met 'n lieflike uitsig. Die woning, tuin en grasperke is alles netjies en goed onderhou. Die woning self is uitstekend ingerig, elke dingetjie waaraan ons kon dink was voor voorsiening gemaak. Aangenaam verras deur die plekkie en sal nie huiwer om terug te keer nie!

Hospitable reception, with owners putting in effort.

Hendrina welcomed us, and on inquiry about where we could eat breakfast, took it upon herself to make arrangements for us. Half an hour later she told me that it was arranged. Thank you, Hendrina and Frans for your hospitality, and for the wonderful place you created in Calvinia for visitors. We will definitely be back if we are in your region.

Neat, beautiful view, fantastic!

Very nice stay, beautiful view and safe. Very neat and clean. Peaceful. Will definitely recommend.

Netjiese en skoonste selfsorg-eenheid waar ek nog was ─ uitstekende verblyf!

Tarantula Guesthouse se selfsorg-eenheid is silwerskoon met alles wat nodig is. Dit is beslis 'n selfsorg-eenheid wat ek weer sal gebruik en aanbeveel. Dit was 'n positiewe verrassing om in so netjiese plek te oornag. Pragtige sterre en braaiplek.

Was very nice.

The house is beautiful inside and I liked the thatched roof inside. Very neat and clean with comfortable layout.

Uitsonderlik! Totale bevrediging!

Baie dankie, dit was alles wat jy van 'n gastehuis verwag en vele meer.

Excellent location, spotlessly clean, fully equipped for self catering, quiet place. Full marks from us.

Tarantula Guesthouse is located on a large private property in a quiet and safe neighbourhood of Calvinia. Overlooking the open plains with mountains in the background. Great location . The guesthouse is very well equipped. The village of Calvinia is within walking distance. We highly recommend Tarantula Guesthouse. Very good value and we will stay there again when in that corner of the world.

Wonderful stopover.

Will definitely use Tarantula again, excellent facilities catering for all your requirements.

Absolutely fantastic!

Dit was die beste gastehuis-ondervinding ooit. Bly gerus daar oor! Ons gaan weer!

Pleasant stay.

Recommended - nice atmosphere.

Uitstekend!

Baie goeie waarde vir geld. Heerlike buite-area met 'n groot grasperk. Verblyf was baie gerieflik en gemaklik. Sal weer daar bly!

Had a great stay, comfortable unit in a quiet and safe area.

The unit that we stayed in was in perfect condition. It was everything we wanted and more.

Stunning place.

Will highly recommend this place. Value for money. Had a wonderful stay.

Een van die beste plekke wat ek al in oornag het.

Die plek is fantasties, mooi en netjies. Die ligging is uitstekend. Kan nie fout vind nie. Kan dit met 'n oop gemoed aanbeveel. Definitief dubbel die geld werd.

Dit was lekker gewees.

Die verblyf was gerieflik met alle selfsorg-benodighede.

Fantastic experience.

Very neat and comfortable overnight with beautiful views.

Tarantula is a very neat and clean place. The garden is nicely maintained and the views are beautiful. Thanks a lot Hendrietta for friendly and excellent service. We'd definitely recommend it.

Perfect.

Everything was perfect and beyond expectations. Thank you very much.

Aangenaam verras.

Sou langer gebly het as ons kon. Die blyplek het ons stoutste verwagtinge oortref! Selfs die grasperk het soos 'n matras gevoel. Die ligging op die buitewyk is uitstekend. Kyk uit oor die oopte.

Fantasties.

Netjiese verblyf. Waarde vir geld.

Oorgeslaap op pad na Upington.

Dis die tweede keer dat ons daar oorbly. Dis netjies, goed toegerus met 'n heerlike kuier-/braaistoep. Ons het afgesaal en toe heerlik gebraai en 'n wyntjie gepik. Een van die beste oornagplekke in SA.

Baie lekker geslaap, en baie netjies.

Baie dankie Frans en Hendrina ons het baie lekker geslaap en uitgerus.

Excellent.

Lovely place. Super neat and modern. Great atmosphere. The people are professional and know how to make you feel at home. Highly recommendable.

Very beautiful and peaceful with the farm atmosphere.

I will recommend this to anyone anytime. Very peaceful, quiet, nice braai area and swimming pool.

'n Absolute luukse om in tuis te gaan.

Ruim, netjies met alles wat mens nodig het. Ons eenheid vir drie of vier het selfs sy eie swembad en braaigeriewe gehad. Wat 'n voorreg om sulke verblyf te kry vir 'n baie bekostigbare prys. Selfs toe ons die tweede keer baie vroeër wou inboek, was daar geen probleme nie. Ons voertuig was veilig gestoor by hulle vir die periode tussen die twee verbruikersdatums, met geen probleme. Vriendelike ontvangs met aangename mense.

Very good value and neat.

The place is perfectly located, restful and well equipped. It is also very good value for money. Will be back!

Brilliant, host very accommodating, would highly recommend!

Awesome, well kept accommodation. Very hospitable host - will highly recommend!

Everything and more than you need.

Located on the edge of the town with a beautiful view of the mountains. Big lawn with swimming pool and braai at unit 3. Enough space to turn in parking area if you are towing something. Unit itself is neat with WiFi and everything that you need. We have stayed there twice and will definitely stay there again.

Dit was regtig lekker!

Ons het hier oorgeslaap voor die Tankwa Camino, was die beste rus voor 'n groot stap.

One of the better guest houses.

I would highly recommend this guest house and will definitely book it again if back in the area. Recommended it to a friend who has the same view.

Baie ruim en netjies.

Baie mooi ligging, baie ruim en netjies. Sterk aan te bevele!

Heerlike en perfekte blyplek!

Die gastehuis is heerlik ruim, met 'n asemrowende uitsig. Dit was 'n aangename oase vir 'n moeë, oorwerkte siel! Sal definitief weer daar gaan bly.

Fantastic facilities and beautiful view.

It was the best value for money accommodation we've ever experienced. Will definitely stay there again in future. Highly recommended.

Fantasties.

Dit was nou my tweede keer wat ek bly by Tarantula. Sal dit vir enige iemand aanbeveel. Gaan vir seker weer terug.

Would definitely recommend it.

Everything was very neat, spacious and comfortable. Definitely value for money. We'll stay there again.

Excellent accommodation!

We really felt very welcome. After a very wet and cold day, the warm sheets were very nice. We will definitely stay here again on our way to Cape Town. Thank you!

Uitstekend.

Baie netjies en baie goeie waarde vir geld.

Very neat and value for money.

We received a warm welcome. The guesthouse is located well and there is safe parking. The little house is very well equipped for self-catering, but remember to bring everything along. It's a good base for viewing the flowers.

Puik.

Ons kan Tarantula Guesthouse aanbeveel. Baie dankie vir 'n baie lekker oorslaap ervaring.

Beslis 'n plek wat ek kan aanbeveel vir mense wat 'n skoon, netjiese en luukse atmosfeer soek met vriendelike eienaars.

Vriendelike ontvangs na 'n lang pad en die chalet het alles gehad wat nodig was en vele meer. Lekker rustige atmosfeer met 'n pragtige uitsig.

Netjies en modern met heerlike landelike rustigheid.

Ons was aangenaam verras om so 'n gerieflike en luukse verblyf te vind op Calvinia. Goeie waarde vir geld!

Netjies en gerieflik.

Huisie is baie netjies en mooi. Goed geleë. Alles is modern en die kwaliteit is goed in die huis. Sal weer daar oorbly.

Heerlik gebly met als perfek.

Karoodorpies is altyd pragtig. Calvinia se inwoners so vriendelik en behulpsaam.

Puik, gerieflik en awesome.

Plek is puik met alle geriewe wat mens nodig sou kry.

Tien uit tien!

Tarantula is in alle opsigte ‘n puik gastehuis. Ruim, gerieflik en netjies. Vriendelike eienaars! Kan dit met groot vrymoedigheid aanbeveel!

Baie netjiese verblyf, 'n vriendelike en behulpsame gasvrou en lekker slaap is die regte woorde.

Moenie laat die naam jou laat skrik nie! Hierdie is van die beste plekke om in te oornag in Calvinia.

Relaxed with the necessary heating systems.

We had a lovely braai, relaxed and enjoyed the nature and the view. Slept comfortably and enjoyed the electric blankets and the heaters as it was very cold outside!

Stunning and very neat.

We were pleasasntly surprised by how neat and luxurious Tarantula is. It's winter and they have warm linen and an aircon. Just the best treatment for their guests. Great value for money.

Rustig en baie netjies!

Baie lekker oornag plekkie! Alles wat jy nodig het, is daar!

Die 4de keer. Altyd puik.

Baie mooi. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Aangename, gerieflike verblyf in pragtige tuin omgewing.

Gerieflike netjiese selfsorg verblyf in mooi tuin omgewing. Goeie waarde vir geld. Ware oase in Karoo. .

Extremely satisfied!

The house is in mint condition, zero faults, beautiful surroundings, excellent service from the owner.

Heerlik gebly.

Wanneer jy op die stoep sit voel dit amper of jy op 'n plaas is met die wye vlaktes voor jou. Dit was my twede keer by Tarantula en was net so lekker soos die eerste keer. Alles wat jy nodig het, skoon en netjies. Ek sal enigiemand aanbeveel om hier te oornag.

Absolute waarde vir geld.

Ek dink die ontwikkeling op die perseel behoort 'n prys te kry vir die beplanning en ontwerp, veral die aandag aan detail - wat belê was in die skep van die fasiliteit. Anders behoort die plek te 'feature' ten minste in Garden and Home of iets dergliks. In my opinie - baie smaaklik.

Fantasties. Vyfster.

Baie netjies. Alles wat jy nodig het. Dit is vyfsterverblyf. Waarde vir geld. Ons sal weer en weer daar gaan slaap. Een woord: puik!

Lekker oase in die Noord-Kaap!

Heerlike verblyf in die Noord-Kaap na 'n warm dag op die pad. Die eenheid is netjies toegerus met alles en meer wat benodig word vir lekker bly.

Nice, clean, neat place with a wonderful view of the mountains.

We received a very friendly and lovely welcome. The unit was very spacious, neat and the decor lovely. We even had our own private swimming pool. hank you for the swimming towels. We welcomed the air-conditioning in the December heat. The unit had everything you would need. A real home away from home. We will definitely stay there again.

Ongekende rustigheid, netheid en skoonheid.

Luuks geslaap. Heerlike beddens en beddegoed. Die huisie is toegerus met alles wat jy denkbaar kan nodig kry vir selfsorg. Baie netjies en gerieflik. Ongelooflike uitsig op die berge en vlaktes en die afkoel in die swembad was ideaal. Doen jouself 'n guns en koop 'n karooskaaptjoppie op Williston by Karusaf vir 'n heerlike gesinsbraai-kuier by Tarantula!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Beautifully built, spacious, peaceful and quiet with a lovely view. Thank you Tarantula, we will be back!

Awesome definitief aanbeveel vir almal.

Die plek is baie netjies en skoon. 'n Huge bed met lieflike beddegoed. Def die moeite werd om te gaan inloer. Meer as genoeg spasie tussen gastehuisies. Dis hoe ek daarvan hou. Mense wat gastehuise besit kan maar gerus by Tarantula gaan kyk hoe akkommodasie moet lyk. Ek daag julle uit van regoor Suid Afrika. My vrou het dit die oggend baie mooi verduidelik met 'n koppie boeretroos op die stoep (toe boer ons) wat oor die warm Karoo uitkyk. "Dis hemel in die middel van nerens." As ek weer in die area kom slaap ek definitief weer daar.

Good, neat, tranquil and great service!

I will recommend Tarantula to anyone visiting Calvinia.

Baie mooi, heerlik gebly, sal verseker weer daar bly.

Sal verseker aanbeveel by vriende en familie.

Fantastiese plek. Netjies en baie gerieflik. Kom beslis weer.

Baie tevrede. Baie dankie.

Enjoyed the quietness, the well appointed apartment and the panoramic view.

We were warmly welcomed and shown our room as well as the operating procedure for the TV and aircon. The rooms are well apart from each other which provides total privacy. The under cover braai area is fantastic and one can relax in front of a fire and enjoy the panoramic view. There is also a walled off braai area for larger parties, ideal to take your friends and enjoy an evening under the stars.

Sommer volpunte vir hierdie heerlike verblyf!

Heerlike plek om oor te bly. Baie skoon en netjies. Sal enige iemand aanraai. Kom definitief weer!

Fantastic

We travel a lot due to work. This was not just one of the best places we have ever stayed at, it is the best place we have ever stayed at. Clean, tidy, spacious, warmly welcomed, pretty view, helpfulness and just everything! Will definitely recommend it. Will orginise our next trip around staying there and extend it. Thank you, top accommodation!

Very clean, convenient, safe accommodation with lovely scenery.

Really appreciated the Wi-Fi. Frans and Hendrina are friendly.

Very nice.

A great stopover. Could be good in summer with the pool.

Highly recommended.

Was very surprised by the neat and luxurious accommodation.

Baie netjies en skoon, het heerlik gebly!

Kan dit met graagte aanbeveel.

Fantastiese, netjiese verblyf op die rand van Calvinia.

Tarantula was 'n oornagstop, maar mens kan gerus langer bly. Die plek is superskoon - mens kan van die vloere af eet - en is uitstekend toegerus. Al probleem was, dat die WiFi nie goed of glad nie gewerk het nie. Ons is vriendelik ontvang, beddens slaap lekker en alles werk. Regtig aan te bevele!
