Karoo View Cottages

Thank you for an awesome stay, Howard, your hospitality, the rooms, the food and your staff were all amazing and we loved every minute of our trip, thanks for also introducing us to some of the locals who made us all feel welcome, we wish we'd stayed longer.

The Wood fired swimming pool was just what we needed! Everything was very comfortable and spacious. It is situated in town so if you'd like to take a walk you would have to go somewhere else for a walking trail. No expense was spared at this place.

We had a great time. Beds are comfortable and the view was beautiful. Restaurant on site was a special treat as it’s so close to your room.

The place is straight out of my dreams. Beautiful views day and night, neat as pin and not lacking anything. Howard and his team was amazing and friendly and helpful. Dinner on site was an added bonus and according to my partner "the best steak he has ever had". The protected splash pool was bliss on a hot day.

We loved our stay in the Masterclass Cottage. It is very spacious, modern with nice furniture. Everything you need in the kitchen. We appreciated the extras for breakfast. The Cottage is very private. Howard's communication was excellent before and during our stay. The check in with Izette was super easy. She kept in touch with us before we arrived. We enjoyed the swimming pool in the Karoo heat. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

Wonderful! Recommended to us and didn't disappoint. It's situation just outside the main town area of Prince Albert gives it a fabulous feeling of semi-isolation and being at one with the scenic environment, eve though there are neighbouring properties. The cottage was extremely well-presented, super-clean, and felt very big. Sofas, Desk, TV, Huge Bed, Log fire, Patio...pretty much everything you could want, including a wood-fired hot tub! It's just short walk from the Main Street of Prince Albert and its many great independent restaurants. Howard and the team provided very responsive and comprehensive information about the property, nearby attractions and restaurants, and arrival/cleaning/departure were all super-smooth. Fabulous place - probably the best pace we stayed during our 2 weeks in South Africa. Highly recommend!

Every time we have been to Prince Albert, we stay at Karoo View Cottages. Set just outside the town, you overlook the Swartberg mountains, and stargazing is amazing. The cottages are very well equipped with thoughtful extras, such as a large extension cord with all size adapters, meusli, rusks and yogurt in the fridge and good coffee! Very professionally run by Howard and we are looking forward to trying his new onsite restaurant on our next visit.

We arrived and had a very rude reception. However, circumstances were not normal due to a Karoo wide power outage. The manager tried to make our stay bearable but the lack of equipment to cool down the cottage cancelled his well intended efforts. We bought a braaipack and was pleasantly surprised by the size of the portions, the freshness of the ingredients and the salad was to die for, 10/10 for this! Will we visit this establishment again? Probably, but this time I will pack my Inverter just for in case.

What a wonderful spot. Glorious views over Prince Albert to the mountians, a spacious well equipped unit for two. The pool and airconditioning were vey welcome as it was very hot. Would be lovely to spend a few nights here exploring the area - we were overnighting only.
