Wonderful experience with fantastic host Andre and staff.
Lovely breakfast, home made treats
Such a lovely, stylish place with super sweet staff.
Wir wurden persönlich von André empfangen und er kam uns mit den Zimmern sogar noch sehr entgegen - da hatten wir Glück :-) Ganz besonders toll war das Frühstück und der freundliche Service. Toller großer Pool, da kann man nach einer langen Autofahrt richtig schön entspannen und ein paar Bahnen schwimmen. Große Zimmer. Alle shat einen besonderen Charme. Wir wären gerne länger geblieben!
nichts, alles bestens :-)
Sehr schönes Zimmer. Wir hatten ein familientaugliches Zimmer mit angeschlossenem Badezimmer, ausreichend groß für 4 Personen. Zimmer mit Klimaanlage und alternativ Ventilator. Für das Frühstück wurden uns extra Tische nach draußen an den Pool gestellt. Lenker Frühstück mit der typischen Auswahl / Frühstücks-Buffet, allerdings ergänzt durch landestypische Spezialitäten. Im Ort sind gut zu Fuß erreichbar mehrere Restaurants - die Empfehlung des Betreibers war spitze. Pool in einer Größe, so dass auch etwas geschwommen werden kann. Bewirtung und Betreiber ausgesprochen freundlich & interessiert / auskunftsbereit.

Nothing comes to mind
Sehr großes Haus, und schönen Pool.
The location was ideal and safe car parking a bonus, We took a suite and the rooms were light and airy with individual aircon. Beds were very comfortable . A swimming pool was on the premises. A generous cooked breakfast meant we needed no further meal until evening .
Andre met us upon arrival and was kind enough to take our suitcases upstairs. This is quite a grand house, with a large pool and we were lucky to have it to ourselves. We had driven over the Schwartzberg Pass and Price Albert was a great place to relax afterwards, We were treated to quite a magnificent thunderstorm and the roof and windows held up very well. Breakfast was cooked for us by the staff and it was perfect. We would recommend the Sanctuary to other visitors.

Wir hatten das Zimmer im Erdgeschoss. Der Aufenthalt war komfortabel und das Frühstück war einmal etwas anderes. Sehr großer Pool. Alles was eine Pension bieten kann in einem herrschaftlichen kapholländischen Haus.
The breakfast was excellent. Best I ever had. My stays was very quite which I loved.
Tv gave a bit problems so were not able to watch any programming.
Sehr netter Gastgeber

The property was well maintained and situated in the Main Street. The room was of high standard and had everything we needed. The host and staff were very helpful
Thought the breakfast was elementary.
Great room, breakfast, pool and location. Staff were very accommodating.
Name well chosen, truly a sanctuary! The swimming pool and garden are just a dream and the rooms are lovely. André and his staff were amazing and served as a five star breakfast. We loved it here.
Great host, Andre. Rooms and property had great character.
André and staff were very helpful and polite. The room was spacious and well equipped with very comfortable beds. The breakfast was great, freshly cooked and a very good choice of dishes.
Everything was great.. no complaints.

Central and was very charming
Het ontbijt behoorde tot de beste van onze vakantie, met een bijzonder vriendelijke en behulpzame gastheer (zelfs zo vlak na kerst 🙃) en een ruime, comfortabele kamer voor ons gezin.
De badkamer was alleen bereikbaar via de slaapkamer van onze kinderen, wat praktisch gezien wat onhandig was.
We absolutely loved this place. Only stayed 1 night but we wished we had stayed several. Super kind owner, beautiful house, nice pool and an amazing breakfast
The bed wasn't super comfortable, a bit too hard for me. Although this might be personal.
The accommodation is great. The room is furnished with great attention to detail and has a huge bathroom. It looks as if it has been recently renovated. The garden with a pool invites you to linger. I can only recommend booking this accommodation. Super host!
We hadden fijn contact met Andre, die vriendelijk was en wij hele gesprekken mee hebben gevoerd. We kregen een gratis upgrade naar de mooiste kamer die toevallig voor 1 nacht nog beschikbaar was.
peacefull, clean, attention to detail
love everything
Nettes kleines B&B, schön eingerichtet und gemütlich. Frühstück sehr lecker
Beautiful guest house. Andre was very pleasant and professional. His staff was too. We shall definitely recommend.
The room was excellent with all the facilities I need ed. The breakfast was delicious. I was recommended to a nearby restaurant which was top class.
The Wi fi was patchy which I raised with the owner. The duvet was too dense but I understood that the seasons had changed from Spring to Summer in one week.
Prachtig authentiek huis. Hele mooie kamers. Personeel top. Alles was gewoon goed.
Top Gastgeber und Mitarbeitende, die auf individuelle Wünsche & Anliegen eingehen und Tipps zu Aktivitäten geben, Zimmer und Pool sauber, frisch zubereitetes Frühstück, Geschäfte & Restaurants in Gehdistanz
The property is indeed a sanctuary. The clean white lines and inviting pool, the fan, aircon and nespresso in the room. The breakfast was superb.

It is my favorite place in Prince Albert. Like my second home. Always a warm welcome from the owner. Spoiled us with fresh friuts from his farm. A little oasis for recharging.
There are no complaints from my side.
Great rooms and breakfast was delicious. Walking distance from amazing restaurants.

Nothing to complain about
An exceptional stay! Our experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. The host was amazing — welcoming, attentive, and made sure every detail was perfect. The service was excellent throughout our stay, and the rooms were beautifully designed, spotless, and incredibly comfortable. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!
The facilities were tasteful and top drawer, the attention to detail and personal touch by the host lovely
Perfectly located for our needs, beautifully designed and furnished with all amenities and lovely spaces for a comfortable stay with a luxurious feel.
We arrived in Prince Albert and were gobbersmacked to see the stunning white villa that awaited us. Beautifully restored with much respect for the old building and its features like the tiles and the wooden floors. Everything was perfect, our lovely room with attached childrens room, the pool (yes, we did have a swim in August..) in the beautiful garden, the serenity of the whole place. Nice restaurants within walking distance. And what a wonderful breakfast we had the next morning! Thank you, André & team!
Il propetario è stato molto gentile e disponibile. La colazione è stata preparata al momento (prassi in uso in Sudafrica). La camera nel suo complesso era buona, con lenzuola ed asciugamani puliti
Il bagno assolutamente da rinnovare, in generale la struttura ha bisogno di interventi di manutenzione, è un po' scricchiolante.
Breakfast was outstanding!
Excellent breakfast. Very good service Delightful stay in The Sanctuary

Breakfast was outstanding and personally tailored . The swimming pool is a great asset,
No comment
Everything was fine. Including the pool.
This serene spot is situated on the main street close to restaurants and a range of distinctive architecture commencing around 1858. The pool was a crystal blue escape from the heat and well utilised by all the guests. I had a delicious healthy 'banting' dinner (as close to a salad as I could find) at the Swartburg Hotel accompanied by one of their huge range gins. The Sanctuary breakfast was tasty and served with a smile outside under umbrellas with views of the cypress trees. Not usually a great fan of yoghurt the yoghurt from the local dairy was an exceptional to my fruit and cereal. I was limited on time so didn't make it to the dairy but I did follow the owners advice. I went on an adventure into the lee-side foothills to the local fig farm. I was two weeks too early for the harvest but the farm is in a beautiful location and the restaurant serves a delicious fig tart plus there was a range of gifts and foodstuffs to purchase. The Avoova ostrich shell factory shop is just outside of town and there is an Atelier definitely worth visiting. I would recommend two nights as I could not see everything that I wanted.
Great breakfast, super location and very welcoming & friendly staff.
What a nice guesthouse. We really loved it there and the breakfast is the best ever! Definately a place we recommend and will return to.
Super friendly and helpful service, quiet, lovely pool and breakfast and slept so well in that bed! We would definitely recommend
Central location, lovely pool
The staff and service were great. Andre and team went out of their way to accomodate our specific birthday request. We felt right at home. Communication was clear and welcoming. The pool was a delight!
