Die Pastorie
A plunge pool and seasonal pool with a private garden
About this stay
Die Pastorie pairs a seasonal outdoor pool with a plunge pool, a rare double for a Caledon guesthouse, alongside a spacious terrace and private garden for guests who want outdoor space without a crowd. Family rooms come with private bathrooms, air-conditioning and garden or city views, and each includes a kitchenette and balcony, giving the option to prepare meals in rather than relying on the town's limited dining scene. An outdoor dining area and barbecue facilities extend that self-catering setup outdoors, and non-smoking rooms keep the property family-friendly throughout. Free on-site private parking is included, and Caledon Nature Reserve is 2.9km away, with Cape Town International 97km out, roughly 90 minutes on the N2. At 7.1 from 57 reviews, it's a more modestly rated but functional option in the guesthouse cluster near the centre.

Our take
This suits families wanting a self-catering kitchenette alongside a pool, the plunge pool and seasonal main pool combination gives more outdoor options than a typical single-pool guesthouse. The balcony and garden or city views add a bit more character to the family rooms. Travellers prioritising the highest guest ratings in town should compare directly against Rouxwil Country House or Mia Amore, both score notably higher.
- Check the seasonal pool's opening dates before booking in the cooler months, it isn't year-round.
- Use the plunge pool as a quicker alternative when the main pool is closed for the season.
- Cook in using the kitchenette rather than relying on Caledon's limited restaurant options nearby.
Why we love it
- A plunge pool alongside the seasonal main pool

- 2.9km from the nature reserve
Why guests love itDie Pastorie is a practical self-catering option for families, with family rooms that include a kitchenette and a balcony, a private garden and free parking. The outdoor pool is seasonal, but the plunge pool gives children somewhere to cool off outside those months. Caledon Nature Reserve is 2.9 km away. I would set expectations carefully, though: the 7.1 score across 57 reviews is lower than most stays in town.
