Netjies en goed toegerus.

Eenheid 1 en 2 is lekker privaat. Die eenhede is moontlik die lekkerste en beste toegeruste verblyf in Calvinia! Heerlike warm stort, alles netjies.

Awesome Karoo accommodation.

Hendrika, our hostess, was so hospitable and has beautiful accommodation that is very comfortable. Lovely patio to braai on with amazing views over the Karoo veld. Slept comfortably with great air conditioning to warm the room and an electric blanket to warm the bed. See you again on our way back from Cape Town in December.

Tarantula is net eenvoudig fantasties! Die rustigheid wat jou daar tegemoet kom, is priceless. Dis altyd perfek skoon en netjies en al die nodige seep ens. is daar. Vir beurtkrag is daar ook 'n plan gemaak met 'n bystandlig in die chalet. Lekker stoep en braaiplek met 'n pragtige uitsig oor die veld.

Karoo gasvryheid op sy beste.

Ons het in eenheid 1 gebly. Dit is baie gerieflik en met alles toegerus wat jy benodig. Die groot stoep met braai-area is perfek om 'n lamstjoppie te braai terwyl die son sak. Die aircon is ook 'n groot plus in die warm somersdae.

Outstanding value for money.

One of the best overnight stays we have ever enjoyed. Spotlessly clean, comfortable bed with good cotton linen, well-appointed kitchen with a good-sized fridge. Great shower in a comfortable bathroom. Our car was safely parked at a convenient distance for carrying bags. Everything works, and best of all is the patio with the view. We would definitely stay there again.

A very clean and comfortable separate unit with everything you need.

It was our first visit to Tarantula Guesthouse, having stayed in a few other accommodation places in Calvinia. We were pleasantly surprised. The unit was clean, the bed very comfortable, and the kitchen area was well-equipped with tea, coffee, sugar, and milk supplied. The view from the unit is lovely and peaceful, and a patio with a braai is a great addition for self-catering. Toiletries were also supplied. We will definitely choose Tarantula Guesthouse again and will tell our friends about it too.

Gerieflike en veilige selfsorg-chalet.

Netjies, privaat, skoon en pragtige natuurskoon om te geniet.

Ons het ons tyd by Tarantula vreeslik geniet! Die eenhede is almal goed van mekaar af gespasieer, wat maak dat elkeen sy privaatheid kan geniet en benut. Die ligging is perfek, nie te ver nie, maar nie in die hoofstraat van die dorp waar mens deel is van die geskarrel nie. Die eenheid was silwerskoon en pragtig! Ons sal werklik Tarantula vir enigeen aanbeveel en self sommer gou weer gaan draai!

Neat, private, clean and beautiful scenery to enjoy.

We really enjoyed our time at Tarantula! The units are all well spaced from each other, which means that everyone can enjoy and take advantage of their privacy. The location is perfect, not too far but not on the main street of the town where you are part of the hustle and bustle. The unit was spotless and beautiful! We would really recommend Tarantula to anyone and will be visiting again soon ourselves!

Stomgeslaan deur weelde, ruimte en toerusting.

Na vele oorslaapplekke met beperkte ruimtes en boomskraaptoerusting, was Tarantula 'n wonderlike, heerlike ervaring. Beslis 'n moet vir elkeen wat Calvinia besoek. Beste waarde vir geld. Tien uit tien vir Tarantula. Ons kom weer.

Blommekyk.

Tarantula se verblyf is baie netjies en skoon. Daar is alles wat nodig is vir 'n oornagverblyf. Die water was lekker warm en die water druk is uitstekend. Heerlik om in die oggend die uitsig te hê van die veld. Dalk 'n bietjie raad, die groot bed kort aandag, dit voel of daar 'n harde plank van bo na onder loop en die matras is uitgelê. Verder kan dit aanbeveel word om hier te bly.

Flower watching.

Tarantula's accommodation is very neat and clean. There is everything needed for an overnight stay. The water was nice and warm and the water pressure is excellent. Lovely to have the view of the field in the morning. Maybe some advice, the big bed needs attention, it feels like there is a hard board running from top to bottom and the mattress is laid out. Furthermore, it can be recommended to stay here.

Pragtige verblyf met atmosfeer!

Netjiese verblyf met al die geriewe wat jy benodig. Wat ons veral beïndruk het, was die noodlig in die middel van die vertrek wat perfek gewerk het gedurende beurtkrag. Die verblyf het 'n lekker atmosfeer. Ons kan dit aanbeveel vir mense wat eersteklas-verblyf teen 'n kompeterende prys verlang. Ons sal dit beslis weer wil benut wanneer ons in die omgewing is.

Die heel beste akkommodasie in Calvinia.

Uitsonderlik netjies toegeruste verblyf waar alles spreek van net die beste. Die eienares is baie "hands-on" en uiters vriendelik.

Die verblyf is absoluut asemrowend. Die rustigheid is baie terapeuties as mens wil wegbreek van die besige stadslewe.

Ek het my kollegas saamgeneem en hulle kon nie uitgepraat raak oor hoe mooi en vreedsaam die omgewing en verblyf is nie. Sal definitief weer daar kuier.

Topkwaliteit akkomodasie.

Die eenheid waarin ons gebly het, was mooi skoon en netjies. Die gasstoof en lampe vir loadshedding was beskikbaar. Baie lekker braaigeriewe en die privaat swembad met groot tuin was 'n aangename verrassing. Hulle het ook lekker droë hout gehad wat ons kon koop. Sal definitief Tarantula Guesthouse aanbeveel vir reisigers.
