This place is a step back in time and is amazing. The owners are the some of the nicest people you can ever hope to meet. I arrived on a Sunday during a motorcycle trip through Cape and had managed to get a puncture. It didnt take long for the owner to have the bike in their own workshop wheel off and on it way to being repaired. The hotel is actively involved in the motorcycle scene in the area was soon introduced to other who came to chat Motorcycle travel. What an awesome evening and a great sleep.

What is there not to like... it was the most cosy and perfectly equipped stay away from the buzz. We had a sleepover for only one night during our road trip, but the rest and memories we have will forever be part of our story!

The hotel is very quaint and has an old world charm. Everything is very tidy and well maintained. The garden and pool was the highlight of our stay, a beautiful green oasis in this karoo town and a stylish set pool. Breakfast on the stoep was great. The staff were friendly.

The location is amazing and the food from the kitchen is great. There was no dinner kitchen when I stayed so they gave me meat to cook myself in the room and it was a fantastic experience!

Staff were amazing with communication for our short notice booking .... messaged them to arrange payment from Australia as booking was for my daughter, needing a break after a long drive on the way to Cape Town ... after hours check in details provided just in case they didn't make the 9pm reception closing time and staff remained in communication with my daughter... the room was great ... my daughter especially loved the heated towel rail which added an extra level of luxury to their stay ... thank you again for being able to help on such short notice...

We always stay at Lemoenfontein when we travel through the Karoo. This time was with our friends. We all very much enjoyed our stay. Joshua's smile at arrival is always a welcome sight! After a long drive, it was nice to stretch our legs in the several paths behind the house. We were also lucky to spend some upclose time with the resident giraffes around the pool! Beautiful! We had dinner at the farmhouse, which was delicious! It is a little bit outside Beaufort West, but that's what we were looking for and it is worth the short drive!

What a gem of accommodation we came across. Situated in the quaint town of Prince Albert. Tracey was fabulous in organising dinner for us and was so helpful and knowledgeable. Accommodation was just lovely and who else offers 4 swimming/splash pools. Breakfast was first class set menu/with egg choices. I have no hesitation in recommending this property

Prince Albert is a lovely small town in the Karoo, not too far off the N1. We saw more wildflowers in this area than when we visited Namaqualand and the West Coast. The people are very friendly and the food was excellent. We will be back again for one of its many festivals.

Great stop-over place to break the long Karoo drive from Cape Town to Gauteng. It is easy to get around the town and the shops are mostly along the Main road through town. Select a overnight accommodation away from the main roads in the quiter suburbs.

A pretty Klein Karoo town.

A pretty Klein Karoo town. There is the sense, however, that most people don't stay too long as it's located right at the foot of the Prince Alfred Pass, which people rush to go over to their destinations. So, Uniondale is a bit overlooked. Getting around is easy, it's tiny so you can walk everywhere.

I enjoyed exploring the town.

I enjoyed exploring the town. I was last in Matjiesfontein over forty years ago for a brief breakfast stop on my drive from Johannesburg to Cape Town. We got to visit the museum of old cars and walk through the dining railway carriage that is part of the museum. Matjiesfontein is a MUST stop for anyone travelling between Johannesburg and Cape Town.

I loved the Karoo nature.

I loved the Karoo nature. The owner welcomed us with delicious homemade bread, butter, and jam, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Firewood, charcoal, and firelighters are also available for purchase on the property. Our kids were excited to see several wild animals, including monkeys, springbok, and other small wildlife. The views were incredible, the air was cool and refreshing, and the use of rainwater and fully off-grid systems made the stay exactly what we were looking for. Free Wi-Fi was available, which was very helpful as there is no cell phone reception in the area.

This is a great stop to break up a long trip from the Western Cape to another province. The Karoo lamb dishes were cooked so that the meat fell off the bones. A few nights at this destination would be a great retreat in the Karoo, and we absolutely loved the flowers that we saw in this season.

I loved the town. It was quiet and a true reflection of what we expected. We couldn't visit as many locationd as we wanted due to our scheduling misalignment, but with a lomger stay, we probably would have enjoyed the town more.

What a gorgeous little town!

What a gorgeous little town! One day, when I’m old and quite content to simply sit on a porch and look out at the world, I think Prince Albert might just be the place! There is such a wonderful sense of pride in the town. It is beautifully kept and incredibly clean — even the dustbins, which are decorated and strategically placed all along the main road, somehow add to its charm. The people are friendly, the foodie spots are AMAZING, and the little waterways that channel water through the town to the houses are fascinating to see. They’re also part of the reason Prince Albert stays so wonderfully green throughout the year. You absolutely have to try the sourdough from The Accidental Baker, who sells her wares at the Saturday market. It is worth seeking out! And if you’re active and looking for a proper challenge, do yourself a favour and ride a bike up and over Swartberg Pass — and back again! The scenery is extraordinary; at times you genuinely feel as though you’ve been dropped into the Alps. The Yellow House is an absolute MUST for accommodation and amazing food. Prince Albert completely charmed us and is most certainly a place worth visiting!

Uniondale was the centre point of our journey distance wise - so convenient . Also we had not been there before so it made an interesting stop over. Scenery was stunning and the road excellent. Hotel built in 1832 (I understand). Uniondale is about 14 kms off main road and entry and exit are through two mountain passes which were most attractive.
