I recently stayed in Villa Calla for 10 days with my daughter. We were greeted with a very warm welcome and taken to our pretty room. It was spotless, very comfortable beds, pillows, thick white towels and luxury bathrobes. We had a small balcony that opened on to the garden with a swimming pool and comfortable sun beds. The breakfast... More

Traditional hospitality, friendly service and an "open house" approach mean... More

First time to South Africa, to participate in the Comrades. We were made to feel very welcome and part of the family, great facilities, beautiful surroundings and location.
