"Staff were very friendly and helpful. Apartment were nice and clean and cozy. Fantastic view."
"Loved the view, the sounds and the breakfast"
"Absolutely beautiful view of the ocean, superbly friendly staff and good value for money."
"i loved the sea view ,i hated the bed it was noisy you need to change the bed i was staying on no12 and the basin draining was bad and the TV IS OLD SYSTEM PLEASE IMPROVE"
"The view of the ocean is breath taking and the breakfast was fantastic!!! We really enjoyed our stay, very relaxing.The Television can be upgraded."
"Booking was easy, communication was 100%, sending us the last details a few days we arrive was a nice touch - we didn't have to go through a pile of emails to find it again. Staff is super friendly.The view was perfect, the included buffet breakfast was a spoil: excellently prepared with a large variety of choices. Getting to restaurants like Marc's Bar and Strandloper is a tiny walk, even at night it is perfectly safe, with lights and CCTV camera making you feel even more safe in the already safe security Calypso Beach. The only disturbance at night was the crashing of waves. We have no ideas, we never saw a single employee (apart from at the restaurant), yet the rooms were always clean when we got back. Magic, we will return!"
"Loved the view - ask for room 14!"
"The room was adequate, quite small. The TV was excellent. Full DSTV package. The biggest disappointment was the bathroom. No soap provided and black mould everywhere! Carpets in bedroom DIRTY!!The staff were friendly and breakfast was good"
"Lovely lounge area and deck. Rooms large and well furnished"
"When we arrived they didnt know about our booking and then told us they havent got a room. After a phone call we were moved to another address with a larger room. But there was no balcony also no bar fridge like it said in the add. Although everything was clean and we had a very good breakfast the next morning we felt that we didnt get what we expected."
"Room is a bit small."
"Beautiful rooms! It's always scary to book online without having seen the actual place. So many times one looks at the pictures of a place online but the reality is far from those pictures. Calypso Lodge was exactly what I saw online. It would be lovely not to have a shared balcony but that was not really a deal breaker. Thank you for a wonderful stay."
"The room is small but adequate and breakfast was delicious! Perfect for a weekend break"
"The view was great, could hear the sound of the sea, breakfast was good. Had a very good stay."
"I loved the view. Well priced. The breakfast doesn't offer much variety."
"It would be nice if you could provide braai facilities."
"The ashtray on the table on the balcony had cigarette buds and ash in it when I arrived. It remained like that through out my stay. I am not a smoker. The carpet is really worn. The pillows and duvet inner need some updating too. The view was spectacular. Unexpectedly no wi- fi but the receptionist was kind and gave me a modum with data uploaded. No comfortable chair as on the picture."
"My wife and I celebrated our anniversary here and booked a standard room (room 13). The good: Spectacular views, friendly staff, clean room. The bad: the room is very small and very poorly laid out. Anyone who is slightly overweight will struggle to move around. There's very little hanging space for clothes and the little space there is shares a cupboard with the bar fridge and kettle, which is corded. So if you wanna make coffee, you have to take it out of the cupboard to pour water. The tv is old and so small, you can hardly see words. The shower door knocks against a poorly planned wall every time it's opened. The room gets very hot in the afternoon- and there's no aircon, making the room virtually unliveable. Breakfast is average and was cold on our first morning. We were placed in a building that is 2 plots away down the road and on the top floor, having to walk up 4 flights of stairs - definitely not ideal if you're unfit. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but unfortunately, this establishment doesn't live up to it's 4 star rating."
"Gute Lage, schne Zimmer und netter Gemeinschaftsbereich mit Terrasse. Schade, dass die Familienzimmer keine Terrasse haben. Auch das Frhstck war sehr gut und das Personal super nett! Wifi knnte besser sein ( nur im Haupthaus verfgbar)."
"We had a most enjoyable stay. The view from our balcony was spectacular. We actually walked to mykonos and it's various restaurants Closest being boesmanland and Marc'so beach bar. The room was nice and clean and the lounge and deck areas very nice . Breakfast was lovely and the staff friendly. I will certainly book here again"
"Overall great stay - very nice rooms, the view is amazing, service is very good and a fantastic breakfast. Really enjoyed it!"
"We had a very relaxed weekend. Beautiful views from the room. Many good restaurants nearby.<div>The staff was friendly and helpful</div>"
"Went with my wife and stayed in on of the deluxe sea facing rooms. The room itself was exactly as you see in the photos on the site with a little balcony over looking the sea. The sea and the beach is almost close enough to touch - you can't get any closer.<div><br /></div><div>There's a nice wooden promenade that runs along the entire beachfront, which you can use to walk to the restaurants further up the beach (one of which has a nice play area outside it for kids) and the club Mykonos casino area (definitely useful if you want to drink a bit and not worry about driving)</div><div><br /></div><div>No real complaints to speak of. There's only a fridge and kettle in the room with cups and glasses (plus coffee and sugar packets), so you'll need to bring anything else you need from home. Although there was a microwave and plates and cutlery in the common lounge area that can be used if you wish to sit down and eat any food that you have.</div><div><br /></div><div>The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very nice.</div><div><br /></div><div>Really enoyable and will definitely be happy to return.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>"
"lovely stay - on the beach - swiming all day and slept so well to the sound of waves. We are back in two weeks time with friends from abroad."
"we paid for 17 people and they only accommodated for 16. Venue is lovely but service improvement is needed."
"I was treated to an amazing experience! My room overlooked the ocean. Gorgeous view. Nothing like falling asleep to the sound of the waves. The service was exceptional and very hospitable. Super friendly staff. Will definitely make this a annual booking!"
"We enjoyed our stay, great views, OK breakfast, friendly staff - the room is rather small and maybe missing a reading lamp by the bed, but overall is satisfactory. I would recommend to a weekend. The beach is great!"
"We had a wonderful time at the lodge. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect. We walked to the restaurants that are on the beach and had a wonderful meal at Boesmanland Plaaskombuis. The view from the roof terrace is amazing!"
"this was an experience of a life time. reception first class treatment and the room and its view there is no words for it but brilliant."
"Room was adequate with lovely see view. Room booked was not available due to a double booking. Breakfast was disorganised with insufficient food & service appalling. I am still waiting for the food to be replenished as we were told that we were too late (9am on a Sunday morning) and certain of the foods were already finished. Despite this, still had a wonderful stay as views made up for the service."
"Really a very nice set up. Everything was in perfect order"
"The photo you see is the actual room and view we had.From our bed, we could see the beach, hear the waves endlessly and watch the sunset. We slept to the view of the sea and the sounds of the waves, and woke up to the dim lights reflecting on the water of the ocean.Breakfast and service was superb."
"The view is amazing as is the location in general. The Serena building is inferior to the main building where breakfast is served and the maintenance is superior. There is a problem with the privacy while renting room # 1. It shares a balcony with the other rooms and the door that is also the window source for fresh air (there are no aircons) opens out to this balcony - hence no privacy."
"It was great and the staff was professional and friendly you feel welcome. The room with beach-view was awesome. The room was very neat and beautiful and when you come back you room was clean and neat.We will be back soon at West Cost life Lodges.I will also recommend my family and friends to make use of the Lodges. Thank you for great stay and lovely breakfast."
"This has to be the most over-rated place I have every had the displeasure of frequenting. No towels, dirty torn curtains, no cutlery, no milk! Not allowed to use communal kitchen, and place was swarming with kids!"
"Pragtige uitsig. Vriendelike personeel.Goeie ontbyt."
"Lovely view, but room is very small. Suitable for one or two nights stay."
"Very disappointed. On arrival no towels, curtains torn, and no milk or cutlery. Not permitted to use communal kitchen. Although web says no children allowed, place was crawling with noisy kids. I a m afraid the accommodation is misrepresented on the website. At over R 1000 per night, we could have done much better."
"Good views, good service and decent breakfast. The shared balconies are a bit annoying, but other than that its an overall good quality establishment."
"Excellent location"
"Calypso Beach is a wonderful place to stay. It is in the quiet little town of Langebaan. The room has the most magnificent 180 degree sea views! The breakfast was delicious. The rooms were neat and tidy and very well kept. Staff very friendly. A really lovely stay and I would recommend it to anyone who loves falling asleep to the sound of the sea and for anyone needing some R & R."
"We went away for a weekend and stayed in the Serene lodge. It has stunning views and the breakfast was absolutely fantastic. Just not the right place if you are staying a long time because there is no cutlery or catering facilities available. But awesome for a short break."
"We had wonderful say at Calypso."
"It was very nice, breakfast was very nice. The room was very nice too. Beautiful Views. Thanks for a wonderful night away."
"Thank you for the amazing stay at Calypso Villas, great hospitality. Looking forward to our next visit."
"Loved Calypso Villas views of Calypso Beach and Mykonos. Unfortunately, the double bed was smaller than our double bed at home, so we did not sleep well as it was uncomfortable. We were surprised that we had to walk to another villa for breakfast, as our villa had all the facilities for it. Breakfast was basic and a bit of a let-down, although I did enjoy the yoghurt. The stairs could be dangerous for kids or the elderly and walking up 3 flights (especially with heavy luggage) was not ideal."
"The sea view is magnificent. The staff are friendly and helpful. The standard room is small but comfortable, neat and clean. Great place to stay if you looking to relax. We'll be back."
"We had a lovely stay here. Only thing is that we would have liked secured parking, but all turned out well in the end - seems to be a safe area. I would recommend this place to anyone!"
"Very nice! Will go again."
"Both room and bathroom were clean, bright and well equipped, and the staff welcoming. The view was stunning! Our only complaint is that the villas are badly signed and difficult to find. Ours was locked with no indication of where to go for check in."
"It was very welcoming - your service is great and the staff very friendly. I will definitely make use of Calypso Villas again and recommend friends to stay at your establishment. The only negative was that our TV did not work the second night, but it was not a major train smash."
"A very pleasant stay with beautiful views and sunsets. The staff are attentive and the breakfast is delicious."
"Very friendly staff. Beautiful room. We really enjoyed our stay."
"Excellent service!"
"This is very upmarket accommodation, situated close to the sea and the views were outstanding. It is very clean and has all the amenities."
"Calypso Villas was a magical place with great décor, amazing views, comfortable beds, enjoyable staff and great tasting food. I will recommend this B&B to anyone who wants a romantic and calming time away. Thank you Calypso Villas!"
"My wife and I needed to break away from our busy schedules and this was the perfect place. It is a pity it was so short. A special thanks to Maria and Martha."
"Awesome experience was had by all. What a stunning view! The service was excellent and Deirdre was an absolute gem. She truly is an asset to Calypso Villas. Thank you!"
"We had a wonderful time - the view was amazing! Breakfast and service was just great - thanks for a wonderful stay, we will definitely visit again!"
"Thank you so much. We enjoyed our stay in a lovely room and the breakfast was excellent."
"Fantastic destination, awesome breakfast. Great memories!"
"Our stay was delightful and relaxing. Was clean and tidy."
"This was truly a very nice romantic getaway . I would without a doubt recommend Calypso to any couple who want to spend time alone at a retreat by the sea. The staff are very pleasant and service fantastic. Will definitely stay there again when I am in the West Coast region."
"My husband and I really enjoyed our stay.Beautiful setting right on the beach.The only negative thing is that the room was extremely hot, with no fan in the room.Would recommend it to couples wanting to get away for the weekend!Romantic and quite!"
"We spent 2 days in Langebaan, accommodation Calypso Villas. It is a very nice place and a nice accommodation, which we can recommend. The problem was the second day. A group of 16 years old girls arrived and celebrated birthday in the house. It was loud and we weren't informed about this party.Regarding the room, the price is to high,if you noticed that you stay in a very small room with a very small bed. "
"Any closer to the water's edge and you will be right in the waves....We had a very pleasant stay in this very neat, clean and friendly enviroment.This is an awesome get away place with very good breakfasts and with the sound of the waves in your ears, you can only think of relaxing!Well done to the owner and compliments to the hostess, Maria!Louis & Elize van der Linde, Pretoria"
"A well managed guesthouse right on the lagoon beach.We enjoyed the tasty breakfasts and the discreetly managed privacy of each couple.Although bedrooms are small, balconies are spacious as well as the shared lounge and dining area."
" Great breakfast.Would recommend it."
"Absolutely stunning stay.will definitely come back"
"Nice clean rooms with beautiful views of the sea. Beach is right outside the door. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly."

"V Good standard could recommend.A lot of stairs to get to top floor with cases but the view was worth it."

Edmarie the hostess was fantastic, she made us feel so at home and assisted with all our bookings for evening meals etc.the view from the room and balcony was breath taking.What more could we ask for? My husband and I will most definitely be back in the very near future. Thank you"
"One of the best places we stayed during our three weeks in S. AfricaAccommodation excellent, setting superb and breakfast very good. "
"After a busy Christmas season behind us and the back to school break nearing its end our family just needed a couple of days to unwind near the sea but not too far away from home and Langebaan's Villa Calypso was just the place we needed.We enjoyed the home from home atmosphere and our hostess really made us feel at home and made a big fuss over our two daughters. Everything was there that we wanted and the security and unobstucted sea-views was just the medicine we needed to refresh our bodies and minds.Long walks along the beach, sunset dinners at the resturants situated at the lagoons water edge and the awakening in the morning in the crisp white linen beds was a dream come true.We will be return again soon when we have the need to relax in a little luxury away from the busy rush of life.The De Koker Family - Durbanville, Cape Town "
"I must say that we were received with real South African Hospitality and from first moment Elwina the hostess made us feel welcome. Every Morning she made time for chit chatter and gave us direction on what to do and what to see during our stay.I will recommend it to everybody who wants to visit the West Coast and havea good break.Thanks to Elwina and her team. You guys are great.Cobus and Nadia Crous"

"My partner and I needed a break but had some work to do during the weekend. At Calypso we got the much needed holiday - just looking out at the sea, the flora and fauna, and the surrounding splendid mountains revives one's soul and physically tired body. We also got work done. Thank you to our host. Elwina is fantastic! Nothing is impossible with her. "
"As the brochure mentions the views were heavenly and hosts wonderful.We had the most lovely time and we will be recommending to all our friends as a must stay.Could never have wished for a better place for a very special 2 day break.thanks"
