Karoo View Cottages

EVERYTHING! Don’t change a thing!

Nothing! Everything was beyond perfection! ❤️

2nd time and enjoyed everything

N/A

The cottage is spacious with a huge fireplace. The view of the Karoo landscape is stunning. The service was great!

Der Garten und die Aussensitzplätze sind schön. Die Lage etwas ausserhalb ist toll zum Sterne gucken. Es sind Sachen für ein kleines Frühstück im Kühlschrank. Der Hund ist sehr freundlich.

Das Zimmer und vor allem das Bad haben mir gar nicht gefallen. Der "Pool" ist nur ein kleines Becken. Die Erklärung bei Booking ist leider völlig irreführend. Am meisten gestört hat mich jedoch die unpersönliche, nicht sehr nette Art der Kommunikation über whatsapp. Am Abreisetag wurden wir gedrängt das Zimmer bereits um 9.30h (!) Zu verlassen, da Gäste schon um 12h anreisen würden. Wir mussten also morgens rumstressen, damit es andere Gäste gechillt haben. Ganz toll in den hart erarbeiteten Ferien!

Lovely cottages with good facilities. Great on site restaurant.

Lovely cottages with very good facilities

Great location within walking distance to town, but far enough removed for a solitude feeling - very nice views from the cottages. Greg was a great manager, welcoming us and keeping everything in order The rooms are very clean and comfortable, we were a family with 2 teenagers We didn’t use the kitchen, but it seemed very well equipped

Everything was very good

Das Bett war groß und sehr komfortabel

Der Blick von der Terrasse und hot tub ist sehr eingeschränkt und hat uns nicht besonders gefallen. Auf den Bildern sieht das Interieur und die Sicht besser aus. Wir würden nicht noch einmal buchen.

Good

The place was exellant as always since i think this is the fifth time we have stayed here so its always our GOTO

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen! Wir konnten direkt vor unserem Cottage parken, die Ausstattung ließ keine Wünsche offen! Im Kühlschrank gab es einige Basics: Saft, Kaffee, Joghurt. Auch Müsli und Kekse standen in der Küche bereit. Wer nicht kochen möchte, sollte im Restaurant von Howard, welches sich direkt auf der Anlage befindet, reservieren. Nächstes Mal bleiben wir zwei Nächte ;)

The location is great.

It would have been good for the lights on the outside of the cottages to be on a manual switch so that we had a clearer view of the night sky and a pool bigger than a plunge pool! It reached 41°

Great location and views. The property is close to town but still feels secluded. The room was very spacious and the owner thinks of every detail to make your stay feel even more comfortable, from the breakfast cereals to the milk and orange juice in the fridge and everything you need to braai outside. There’s also a full kitchen with a stove when you want to cook in but I particularly like the onsite restaurant that you can sit down and have a meal at or get your food/drinks delivered to your room. Our room had both an aircon, ceiling fan and standing fan which came in handy over the hot summer night. There’s also a large mosquito net above the bed which you can make use of if needs be. I do have to say that nothing beats sitting out on the patio over looking the mountains with a wine in the evening or a sunrise coffee in the morning. I wish we could have stayed longer. 10 out of 10 stay.

Great property with beautiful Karoo views.

Their database was hacked and I received phishing attempts on WhatsApp.

Although it was a self-catering cottage, cereals, yogurt, fruit juice and rusks were replenished every morning - Really cool! The harsh Karoo heat was relieved by fans and air conditioning in the cottage and even by a private little plunge pool just outside the cottage. A restaurant on the property provided excellent meals - delicious lamb chops and lamb curry - yummy!

Although everything was really perfect, it would have been nice to have a shady veranda in the space reserved for parking the car. The existing veranda provided beautiful views but was too hot to sit there in the afternoon.

The cottage was very well stocked and the staff were so helpful and friendly and attentive. We were very comfortable there.

Nothing.

Everything, well located, beautiful views, comfortable beds, closes to shops, restaurant in the facilities, very communicative hosts , checking to see if if anything else was required. Pool and braai on-site

Wonderful warm Welcome. Staff went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Accomodation was spotless. Pinnacle white cotton linen. Really comfortable bed and pillows. Fresh orange juice and milk in fridge. Musli, cereal, coffee, tea, sugar ext. Absolutely Beautiful surroundings. Pet friendly. What really stood out was home welcome we were made.

The location was great, with beautiful views of the mountains and the town! The cottage was very well equipped , that air conditioning was a great relief from the heat! Howard and his team made extra effort to accommodate my dog Harvey. They attention to detail to make my stay memorable with freshly ground coffee, milk, cereal and fruit juice for the next morning was superb ! Thank you Howard, I will surely be back 👍👍

If you can eat at the restaurant, do it! Food was amazing, atmosphere really wonderful and the overall stay and dinner was really great.

Nice location, beautiful views, nice restaurant on the property

Sehr charmantes Cottage mit holzbeheiztem Minipool unter grandiosem Sternenhimmel. Besonders hervorzuheben ist das hervorragende Abendessen welches von Howard in der offenen Küche auf Bestellung zubereitet wird (unbedingt vorher kontaktieren!). Insgesamt ist der Aufenthalt in den Karoo Cottages ein besonderes Erlebnis

Alles perfekt

Excellent on all counts, location, staff, restaurant, spacious and well equipped rooms, including kitchen

Could have been warned earlier about load shedding

Der Gastgeber hat uns sogar reichlich Sachen zum Frühstück bereitgestellt, schöne Lage mit Terasse Holz wurde für innen und Aussen (Grill) bereitgestellt.

Everything was just great. Well equipt neat good location

Nothing

Die Lage war hervorragend, da wir über den Swartbergpass nach Oudtshoorn fahren wollten. Der Hund hat es genossen im großen Garten herumzurennen.

Eigentlich war alles perfekt

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. The food served was exceptional!Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway!

Extremely comfortable and just far enough out of town

Braai area a little exposed

The property was beautiful, the view was beautiful, Howard and the team were incredibly friendly and attentive, the food was incredible. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful place! Had everything and more! We got a warm welcome! Had everything we needed and asked for. Beautiful views and an awesome little boma rigged for a lekker braai! Braai packs was excellent!

Howard was amazing, I

Clean and big all the facilities worked, great views

Great view Awesome dinners, both of them

The rooms are joined, to you do hear your neighbour

Superbe cottage très bien équipé et très confortable.

L'accueil pourrait être amélioré...le restaurant semble connu des locaux avec qui le patron aime bien discuter, mais moins avec les hôtes internationaux à priori. Concernant le cottage, nous avons été prié de partir de façon un peu sèche le matin car 'les règles sont les règles' et le check out est à 10h !! Un peu dérangeant étant donné qu'ils n'avaient personnes d'autres pour le soir même....

Lovely stay in a very well equipped cottage, short distance from town.

Location Dog friendly Rustic farm stay

None

What's not to like? The view was spectacular, the hosts were super welcoming, the cottage was gorgeous, great wifi, etc etc!! We also had the privilge of room service from the onsute restaurant as we had our dogs with us... Spectacular food!! A must when staying over.

The cottages are well equipped. Surrounded in a garden with the amazing views of the karoo countryside. Special extras such as juice and milk in the fridge and cereal are a nice touch.

Mosquitos

An amazing cottage situated just outside the centre of Prince Albert, with excellent facilities and the bonus of having a restaurant next door run by our hosts. Very quiet surroundings and a beautiful view over the mountains.

Nothing

Very comfortable, clean and well equipped. Great location. Professional, kind staff. Outstanding dinner at the on-site restaurant. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The owner met us and gave a complete rundown on the cottage and advice on the local area

Absolutely nothing. I didn’t like it that I had to leave!

My bedroom was in its own cottage with a huge bathroom, huge bed, my own little garden, cooking facilities and a fantastic view. Very quiet. Lovely people. Prince Albert is one of the friendliest places I have ever stayed and a rare find. I stayed an extra night and could have stayed a week: Howard the owner is an excellent chef and opens up his intimate restaurant four nights a week for guests as well locals. Lots of other places nearby and great coffee shops. Mouth-watering quiches in Local Roots. Fantastic hiking. A must for botanists. Checkout the local show house on a Wednesday night - it’s a small town with a lot of ingenuity!

Nothing

A little gem, so perfectly placed. The staff are fabulous, dinner really good and the room lacks for nothing. Enjoyed our night stay.

Fantastic location; really enjoyed ourselves - perfect stop-over.

There is nothing we did not like.

Howard is an excellent host. The meal at the restaurant was superb!

Nothing

Great location. Beautfiul spacious tastefully decorated chalet with all the amenities. Supercomfy large bed, lovely porch to sit on and enjoy drinks or breakfast while taking in the stunning views. Delicious dinner, served in the restaurant by excellent knowledgeable staff. Relaxing hot tub/pool and braai boma. What more could you ask for. Thank you

Nothing

2 minute drive from the main road and shops but far enough away for peace and quiet with amazing views.

Their braai could have been a bit better but it did the job well enough.

All brilliant.

Nothing

We booked for 2 nights and stayed for 1. Room was like the pictures and description so can’t complain about that. When evening fell we noticed the first cockroaches crawling trough the kitchen. When we contacted the host he first said that he wasn’t aware of any cockroaches but please spray them. He later offered us to change the room which we declined. In my quest to spray the cockroaches I found I also found other dead bugs already lying under kitchen equipment. The next morning we decided to check out. Since checking out was only by leaving the key in the room we contacted the host that we were checking out. He replied with a question mark and “are you leaving a day early.” After we replied “yes” we never heard from him again. So I assume that for this place/host it is more normal than it is for us when guests are leaving early.

Loved the food basket being brought after check-in.

A little gem in the Karoo. Extremely comfortable, well equipped, aircon, ceiling fan, large comfortable bed, covered stoep with great view of the Karoo. Small well maintained swimming pool in a boma with braai facilities next to the chalet. Secure onsite parking right next to the chalet. Has a restaurant on site open Tuesday to Friday, we were there on a Monday so we went to one of many restaurants in town which was 2 minute drive from the chalet. Excellent but need to book. Howard was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the area and willingly gave us advice on the routes to drive. Absolutely no hesitation in recommending.

Nothing

Beautiful location. Very attentive host. Attention to detail - everything needed was in the cottage. The food was excellent!

Nothing. We actually extended our stay

Great place and a Lovely room!! But the check in felt a little weird/very rushed. The manager showed us the apartment and explained everything in like 1 minute. It was alot to take in and remember and he talked very fast so I had to ask again several times... It felt like he was in a hurry and that in turn made us feel unwelcome. Very weird customer service. But the place was lovely in a great quiet place with gorgeous surroundings.

It was a good Karoo experience and the unit met our expectations. It was close to town which we wanted to visit the next day.

The cottages are extremely comfortable, spacious and functional. The view is beautiful and the staff are super friendly and helpful. We ate dinner at the restaurant the first night - the food was excellent with attentive service.

Had nothing to do with the cottages or the hosts - the mosquitoes were plentiful and oblivious to all manner of control!
