Calitzdorp Spa

Calitzdorp Spa is a natural hot spring resort situated off the R62 on the DR1688 road, roughly halfway between Calitzdorp and Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape.

The facility features a mineral-rich warm outdoor pool, a hot indoor Roman Bath, and two cold-water swimming pools. Campsites include both powered and unpowered options, along with pool lapas, braai stands, and ablution facilities.

Five secluded wild-camping-style sites offer a more remote Karoo experience. The surrounding area provides plenty to explore.

The adjacent Gamka Mountain Nature Reserve is home to the Cape Mountain Zebra, and nearby scenic drives include the Swartberg Pass to Prince Albert and the celebrated Seweweekspoort gravel route.

Local farms offer wine tasting — particularly fortified wines — as well as fruit-picking and dried fruit sales. Night security patrols operate on site, pets are not permitted, and the area is malaria-free.
