The cottage is on the edge of Prince Albert, easily walkable to the main road. We really enjoyed our stay. The property was very comfortable- nice comfy bed and good bathroom. There are lovely views of the mountains from the terrace. The staff were very friendly - we stayed with our baby and the owner went out of her way to find us a high chair. They can prepare food for an outdoor barbecue which we enjoyed a lot. The cottage was also great value for money.
United KingdomThe property had everything you needed, wood in the fireplace, milk in the fridge, good coffee and some tasty items for the breakfast. The views of the sunrise were spectacular from the comfort of our porch with coffee in hand.
South AfricaWe got an upgrade which was fantastic. Well looked after with a welcome glass of sherry. Was just perfect
NorwayExcellent facilities and everything a traveller needs. Very neat and 5 star yet rustic enough to suite the surroundings. Helpfull staff.
South AfricaVery clean with amazing huge rooms setting and sunsets just amazing cute town hosts lovely friendly people
South AfricaThe staff was super friendly and helpful. We had an issue with our car and she found someone in the village to help us and took care of our every need. The house is beautiful and you can see that they thought of every detail, from the yogurt in the fridge to the comfy chairs in the garden. Wish we had longer time to stay.
South AfricaExcellent accommodation and braai facilities- friendly hosts
South AfricaOur cottage had everything we could have wished for to make our stay comfortable. The view from the stoep was amazing and the fresh farm breakfast provisions were great. Both we and our 2 yorkies had a fabulous time
South AfricaEverything!! The layout of the cottages is brilliantly done. Parking is right at your door - no long trek to offload the luggage. The room is super comfortable and the little special touches in the bathroom and allover just makes it amazing. One can see the owners are really giving attention to detail. I was very impressed with the old-fashioned farm gate that was motorized. The garden is absolutely well designed and we appreciated the little personal touches with fresh milk and yummy yogurt in the fridge. We were also informed of all the goings-on in Prince Albert and had great fun.
South AfricaHoward went out of his way to make our time at the cottage an extremely memorable experience. Sitting out on the terrace with a sherry watching the stars was amazing. We will be back.
