Beautiful and comfortable heritage cottage in the historic town of Prince Albert. Quiet and peaceful surrounds, within walking distance to shops and restaurants. Large garden full of fruit trees and birds. Please note that most of our guests who book for one night regret not staying longer, so we do recommend longer stays if you have the time! Dogs are welcome visitors, but please do let us know that you are bringing them, as we charge a small cleaning surcharge. The Cottage is an original farm building built in 1852. The Cottage offers original features from this period, with very beautiful bound latte ceilings throughout. There is an indoor wood-burning stove, outdoor weber braai, outdoor shower, and stoep; from where to enjoy an unspoilt view of the garden and Karoo mountains in the distance. The garden offers fruit to be plucked and eaten most of the year round. In the garden you'll find mangoes, guavas, various citrus, quince, olives, mulberries, grapes, chillis, curry leaf, and apples. The Cottage is on the same property as The Farmhouse - both buildings are private and freestanding with uninterrupted views - but share the large garden.
Perfectly situated in Prince Albert- quiet and peaceful surrounds, but within walking distance to shops and restaurants.
