Review

Beautiful, tastefully decorated and in the heart of Prince Albert! You won’t regret using this as a base to explore Prince Albert with. Surrounded by beautiful gardens, we stayed in the pool cottage for one night and it was not enough. Johan is a great host and all amenities and finishes are to the highest standard. They also have solar panels which means load shedding is a thing of the past! 🤩🤩
Best rusks in the Klein Karoo.

Johan is a super host. I had a bad fall while running. He was so compassionate with bandages and care. The house is beautiful. Elegant but still cosy. I would highly recommend staying there. It is my go-to place in Prins Albert. Always a special stay.

Beautiful, lush and tranquil gardens, super comfy beds. The host, Johan, was informative, professional and accommodating, as well as respectful of privacy. Excellent parking facilities with shade cover (easily accommodating 4x4). Highly recommended.
