We spent a week at Karoo View cottages with a party of friends. The cottages are wonderfully well equipped - better than any self-catering place I have ever stayed in. In addition the use of space to provide everything you could need is great. Comfortable, warm and lovely. The view of the town from the stoep is great - sunsets... More

If you're going to Prince Albert, you have done your homework, as it is off the beaten track, but close to the spectacular Swartberg Pass. As B & B's go, this one is really good. Apart from the quaint environment and behind the friendliness of the owner couple, the cottages are equipped to an exceptional standard. Everything has been thought... More

We enjoyed our stay very much! The detail and finishes of the cottages are top class! Friendly staff, awesome views of the town and surroundings! The outside stoep is great for sitting, eating, reading books and drinking wine. A lot of extras are included which makes these cottages even more exceptional

I travel a lot in the Western Cape, and I have never found such luxury within this price range. It ticks all the boxes for my liking - friendly, spotlessly clean, spacious, pretty quiet - and then the little extras... The (freshly) ground coffee and the espresso-percolator was the kicker! Just superb.

The most relaxing break away if have ever been on. The surroundings are beautiful with a lovely view from the patio. The accommodation is exceptionally spacious; it was clean and serviced daily and the attention to detail is absolutely amazing. Everyday they replenish the stock of milk, cereal, muesli, rusks and biscuits. They really have thought about absolutely everything. Some... More

You won't find so much space in a cottage that easily. It's very cleverly done and the equipment is outstanding. We just drove by and luckily we could have a cottage for one night. AND THE VEGGIE TUNNEL!!!!!!!!!!! How original! We took some herbs out of it. Altogether a wonderful spot.

We stayed at Karoo View Cottages for the second time this year and were just as happy as the first time that we stayed in this wonderful place. The cottages are beautifully clean and well equipped and attention to even the smallest detail is evident in all the things that are on offer. Richard is most helpful and the good... More

One of the nicest self-catering cottages we have ever stayed in. The decor is beautiful and every tiny detail has been thought of - it's almost better than being at home. The cottages are in a stunning setting - set slightly up the hill overlooking the town of Prince Albert and the mountains beyond. We enjoyed our dinner and a... More

Julie and Richard thought about everything when they set up their self catering cottages. The attention to detail is superb. Each cottage is beautifully decorated and wonderfully equipped - just too many good points to mention, but absolutely 5*. An unusual, but great touch is the "herb and veggie tunnel" available for guests to use. I was able to make... More
