Description
We would like to welcome you to our child, wheelchair & pet friendly luxurious self-catering accommodation married with all your “home from home” comforts overlooking the village of Prince Albert 350m away. Magnificent views of the Swartberg & Karoo plains, yet within safe & easy walking distance into the village. If you are dreaming of wide-open vistas, spectacular views, peace, tranquillity, sunrises, sunsets & clear starry nights, birding, nature, cycling, hiking or biking we look forward to welcoming you.
The Karoo, from a Khoikhoi word, possibly garo “desert” is a semi-desert natural region of South Africa. There is no exact definition of what constitutes the Karoo, and therefore its extent is also not precisely defined. The Karoo is partly defined by its topography, geology and climate — above all, its low rainfall, arid air, cloudless skies, and extremes of heat and cold. The Karoo also hosted a well-preserved ecosystem hundreds of million years ago which is now represented by many fossils.
Two great guesthouses, two different locations, we have got Prince Albert covered for you. Bookings can be made here for both. Karoo View Cottages with it’s magnificent views of the Swartberg Mountains and Karoo Masterclass set in the peaceful southern end of the town with it’s own unique view of the mountains.

Surroundings

The Great Karoo straddles the 30° S parallel on the west of the continent, in a similar position to other semi-desert areas on earth, north and south of the equator. It is furthermore in the rainfall shadow of the Cape Fold Mountains along the western coastline. The western "Lower Karoo" (the Tankwa Karoo and Moordenaarskaroo) contain remnants of the Cape Fold Mountains (e.g. the Witteberg and Anysberg Mountains) which give it a moderate hilly appearance; but further east the Lower Karoo becomes a monotonously flat plain. The "Upper Karoo" has been intruded by dolerite sills (see below), creating multiple flat topped hills, or "Karoo Koppies", which are iconic of the Great Karoo.The vegetation of the Upper and Lower Karoo is similar, so that few people make a distinction between the two.

Beautiful property, great communication prior to arrival, kind staff. The bed is huge and comfortable. Neat and clean property, the swimming pool was neat and water not too cold. Cereal, rusks and yogurt with milk and juice was a kind and nice touch. Water pressure is great for shower. The area is quiet and safe.

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.
