Prince Albert Cottage

Prince Albert Cottage is a charming Karoo-style reed and beam dwelling annexed to a historic 1851 Cape Dutch farmhouse in Prince Albert, South Africa. This off-grid accommodation features two ensuite bedrooms with extra-length beds (one king-size and one queen-size), each equipped with air conditioning and quality cotton linens. The king-size bedroom opens onto the patio, while the queen-size bedroom is situated within the cottage's interior.

The property boasts an open-plan living area decorated with original oil paintings, Persian carpets, and classic furniture, centered around a wood-burning fireplace. The fully equipped kitchen includes a gas hob, electric oven, and all necessary modern appliances and utensils. A covered patio overlooks a tranquil courtyard featuring a pond, fountain, and fruit trees, providing an ideal setting for alfresco dining or relaxation.

The cottage is entirely solar-powered, ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply. Additional amenities include free Wi-Fi, a Karoo-style concrete pool with a Martini seat, and both gas and wood/charcoal braai facilities. The property welcomes families with children and pets, offering exclusive use of the cottage regardless of occupancy.

Located on De Beers Street, the cottage is situated in a historic area of Prince Albert, known as "the jewel of the Karoo." The town's main street, Church Street, is a five-minute walk away and features art galleries, eateries, pubs, and boutique shops. Notable attractions include the Fransie Pienaar Museum, which showcases local history and culture, and the renowned Swartburg Pass and Meiringspoort, considered among the world's top mountain passes. The area offers various outdoor activities including cycling, hiking, and scenic drives.
