Sally and Robbie De Waal
Enjoy peace, tranquility and great hospitality. Prince Albert cottage is annexed to the old 1851 Cape Dutch farm house (Sally & Robbie and three friendly dogs live here). The cottage has its own private entrance, patio and small garden. This area is fenced off from the main garden and gives you total privacy. We are pet friendly. The second bedroom is accessed from the patio. The cottage can only be booked by one group of family or friends so your privacy is guarantied. A pretty courtyard with fruit trees and a water feature and fountain leads off the patio. Inside the cottage is a wood burning fire for those chilly winters evenings. A deep karoo style swimming pool in the main garden of the old house and can be enjoyed day or night. Wake up to the country sounds of roosters crowing, donkeys braying, turkeys gobbling and ducks splashing in the pond across the road. Church street with its restaurants, Saturday market and many little boutique shops is a five minute stroll past a fig grove.
Robbie and Sally recently retired from Johannesburg to the Karoo and are loving the change of scene. Star studded nights, clean air, the friendly community and the rugged beauty of the "jewel of the Karoo" which is Prince Albert.
De Beers street is lined with lovingly maintained historic homes. Olive groves and small town farms with fruit and nut trees and sheep and poultry are a pleasure to be amongst. Take a walk and soak up the beauty of this special town.
