Die Stoep - Self Catering 1860's Karoo style house with splash pool and Braai area situated in Calitzdorp, Route 62, Klein Karoo, Western Cape
Die Stoep is a beautiful Karoo style farmhouse built with Victorian detail around 1860 and was one of the first houses in Calitzdorp.
It is rented out as a self-catering unit and sleeps up to 8 people. Die Stoep, as the name suggest has a large wrap around veranda with doors opening out onto it.
Oregon pine floors and sash windows with shutters give this house a special feel of days gone by. The ceilings are 4m high and the walls half a meter thick and were constructed out of unfired mud bricks. This building style was typical of the period and the result is a house that is cool in the hot summer months and warm in winter. The shutters are still used to regulate the indoor temperature.
