The Caledon Hotel and Spa
A year-round pool, spa and casino under one roof
About this stay
The Caledon Hotel and Spa runs the town's only genuine hotel-scale operation, and that scale shows in the amenity list: a year-round outdoor pool, fitness centre, spa, terrace, lounge, beauty services, steam room and casino, all inside 2.7km of Caledon Nature Reserve. Family rooms come with air-conditioning, private bathrooms and garden or pool views, each with a work desk, TV and free WiFi, practical rather than luxurious but consistently equipped across a large room count. The family-friendly restaurant serves pizza and steakhouse cuisines for lunch and dinner, with a full English or Irish breakfast that runs to warm dishes, fresh pastries and fruit. At 1,155 reviews, this is by far the most-reviewed property in Caledon, evidence of both its scale and its role as the town's default full-service option. It sits 98km from Cape Town International and 45km from Kleinmond Golf Course.
- Full-service spa

- Family restaurant
- Year-round pool
Our take
This suits families and groups who want a restaurant, pool, spa and casino all on the same property rather than driving between separate businesses in town. The scale here means more room variety and fewer surprises than Caledon's smaller guesthouses. Couples wanting an intimate, garden-focused stay should look at Rouxwil Country House or a smaller guesthouse instead, since this reads as a genuine hotel rather than a boutique stay.
- Book a pool-view family room specifically if the view matters, not all rooms face the pool.
- Try the steakhouse menu at dinner, it's a genuine kitchen rather than a hotel-standard buffet fallback.
- Use the fitness centre or steam room if the drive from Cape Town left you stiff, both are on-site.
Why we love it
- Year-round pool with a fitness centre attached
- Full spa with steam room and beauty services
- Family-friendly restaurant on-site
- Casino floor for an evening out
Why guests love itThe Caledon Hotel and Spa is a full-service hotel in town, and I would suggest it to families who want a hotel rather than a guesthouse. Family rooms are air-conditioned with pool or garden views, the year-round outdoor pool and the family-friendly restaurant serving pizza and steakhouse dishes keep children happy, and adults have a spa, a fitness centre and a casino. With 1,155 reviews averaging 7.2, set expectations accordingly.
