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!
FinlandThe 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.
South AfricaA beautiful and comfortable space. The hosts made our stay so special. Wish we could've stayed longer.
South AfricaEverything, wonderful hosts, beautiful setting , spotlessly clean and comfortable.
South AfricaExcellent location on the best side of town, just a short stroll from the main road. Charming and serene setting among trees and weavers. Very well equipped, clean and extremely comfortable - especially the bed! The cottage was more spacious than we expected and also completely private. Lots of thoughtful extras left us wanting for nothing. Thank you Paul and Marguerite for a most memorable stay!
South AfricaBeautiful, centrally located cottage with great amenities in an idyllic setting. Tastefully decorated with super comfortable beds. Super friendly and helpful hosts. A must stay for anyone traveling to Prince Albert.
South AfricaBrilliant location, setting and comfort with a beautiful garden and birds
South AfricaVery comfortable and cosy cottage, the bed was particularly comfy! We only had one night at the cottage but it would have been great to stay longer as there was lots to do nearby. Paul was a great host and we were particularly grateful for his help when we got a flat tyre. Would love to come back.
