About Almond Valley Manor House

Nestled in the heart of South Africa's Klein Karoo, Almond Valley presents a captivating retreat in the form of a meticulously restored Victorian-era manor. This elegant homestead, dating back to the early 1900s, has undergone a thoughtful renovation that harmoniously blends its rich historical character with modern comforts.

Self-Catering Accommodation

The Manor, once a humble farmhouse, now stands as a testament to architectural preservation. Its restoration, executed with painstaking attention to detail, breathes new life into the Victorian aesthetic that flourished between 1850 and 1910.

The interior decor strikes a delicate balance between contemporary and classic, featuring sleek oak furnishings alongside carefully curated antiques that pay homage to both Victorian and Dutch influences.

Accommodation at The Manor is nothing short of luxurious. Six opulent en-suite bedrooms await guests, each appointed with either a Super King or Super Queen bed. These sleeping quarters boast pillow-top mattresses, cloud-like down duvets, and premium 400-thread count cotton linens.

Every room is a sanctuary of comfort, equipped with modern amenities including air conditioning powered by sustainable solar energy, televisions, well-stocked tea and coffee stations, and private refrigerators.

The communal spaces of The Manor are equally impressive. A spacious lounge and dining area, complete with two closed-combustion fireplaces, provide cozy retreats during cooler months.

For outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers a wealth of options: a sparkling swimming pool, tennis court, wood-fueled hot tub, and manicured gardens. The crowning jewel is perhaps the outdoor BBQ and Pizza Garden Terrace, perfect for al fresco dining under the African sky.

Location & Attractions

Almond Valley's location in Calitzdorp, often referred to as South Africa's Port Capital, places guests at the epicenter of the country's wine culture. Situated along the renowned Route 62, the area boasts numerous acclaimed wineries, including Boplaas, De Krans, Axe Hill, and Calitzdorp Wine Cellar.

This prime position also serves as an ideal stopover for travelers en route to the Garden Route, being equidistant from Cape Town and Port Elizabeth (Gqeberha).

In essence, Almond Valley offers more than just accommodation; it provides an immersive experience that marries historical charm with contemporary luxury, all set against the backdrop of South Africa's breathtaking landscape and rich viticultural heritage.
