Real guests • Real stays • Real opinions
Weaver birds with their nests hanging in high reeds by the water bond in front of the house are a real treat for anyone, but specially for photographers!

It is well situated for privacy and the trees and surrounds give a wonderful country feel.

Super large extremely comfortable bed I loved the braai area Exceptionally clean Top quality crockery

Lovely cottage, perfect location, peaceful, the mosquito net was a lifesaver, overall great

The look and feel of the cottage. Real Karoo charm loved the braai facility to sit around the fire and sip some wine with good friends. Close to restaurants and all that Prins Albert has to offer.

Great location in walking distance of main road and peaceful

Quietness, the bird life and proximity to the town

Breakfast not applicable. Clean, comfortable and well appointed. Extra comfortable bed plus electric blanket. Aircon a huge plus. Absolute value for money. Staff very friendly and helpful. Like the dam and birdlife.

The bird hide was a sell. It was so nice to add birding experience to our stay the bed was extremely comfortable. Basically everything was awesome. The coffee machine was the highlight of my morning.

A beautiful and comfortable space. The hosts made our stay so special. Wish we could've stayed longer.
