All accommodations come equipped with essential amenities, and guests receive complimentary coffee, tea, milk, sugar, home-baked rusks, first-night firewood, soap, and mosquito repellent. The cottages vary in size and configuration, ranging from cozy units suitable for business travelers to spacious family-friendly accommodations, with some units offering wheelchair accessibility.

The surrounding area provides numerous activities for visitors, including mountain biking, hiking, and motorcycling along the scenic Swartberg Pass. The town caters to food enthusiasts with its fig, olive, and wine farms, cooking events, and local produce available in shops and at the Saturday market. Prince Albert's vibrant cultural scene includes a community of artists and writers, with a local showroom hosting films and performances by renowned artists.
