Wonderful, spotless, homely. A lovely place to relax.

Our stay at 81 on Church was wonderful. Johan, our host, was fantastic and so helpful. We arrived much later than planned and Johan suggested a restaurant across the street that was still open. He phoned them to say that we would be there shortly. Everything that you need for a perfect stay is there. We will definitely go back again.

Ons is so warm ontvang deur die eienaar self. Die huis en kamer is baie smaakvol.

Die huis en kamer is baie smaakvol gemeubileer en alles waarna ons gesmag het na 'n lang rit was beskikbaar. Ordentlike wynglase, melk in 'n kraffie in die yskas, koffie in 'n fles (nie 'n oopskeur sakkie nie). Spesiale waslappies in die badkamer vir grimering. Shampoo en lyfwas uit die winkel, nie die gewone wat jy in gastehuise kry nie. Winters beddegoed en 'n topklas matras! Die huis is amper reg langs die Swartberg Hotel en baie sentraal geleë. Veilige parkering. Ek kan nie uitgepraat raak oor hierdie juweel nie. Ons sal vir seker elke keer daar oorbly wanneer ons deur die pragtige Prince Albert toer.

We were received so warmly by the owner himself. The house and room are very tasteful.

The house and room are very tastefully furnished and everything we craved after a long drive was available. Decent wine glasses, milk in a carafe in the fridge, coffee in a flask (not a tear open bag). Special washcloths in the bathroom for make-up. Shampoo and body wash from the store, not the usual ones you get in guest houses. Winter bedding and a top class mattress! The house is almost right next to the Swartberg Hotel and very centrally located. Secure parking. I cannot rave about this gem. We will for sure stay there every time we tour beautiful Prince Albert.

A great way to stay over in Prince Albert on a Friday night.

Perfectly located and spotlessly clean. The host was very helpful in recommending places to eat, which were outstanding. Following recent heavy rains, we needed guidance on the state of the Swartberg Pass and roads in the area, which the host went out of their way to enquire about. As we were short of time, this was invaluable in planning our trip.

Lovely old house, very friendly hostess and ideally located.

We really enjoyed our stay at Mai's Guest Lodge. The place is ideally located in the main road and within walking distance of restaurants and other tourist attractions. Our room was very nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. The en-suite bathroom is also spacious with a lovely shower and enough hot water. Mai, the owner is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. On the morning of our arrival she started sending messages, telling us to drive safely and also offered to make dinner reservations at one of the restaurants in the area. Our room included breakfast, which Mai supervises personally. From the personally curled butter (no plastic tubs) to the last bite everything was very tasty and beautifully presented. I would refer Mai's Guest Lodge with an open heart to anybody.

Perfek vir een nag oorslaap in Karoo.

Baie historiese gebou en goeie oorslaap-ervaring.

Heerlike gasvryheid in die mooi Prins Albert.

Hierdie was 'n warm welkom en ons het die oornag vreeslik geniet. Pragtige dorpie met 'n unieke atmosfeer. Voorwaar 'n heerlike oornagstop - sal beslis weer kom.

Uitstekende verblyf met 'n baie behulpsame en vriendelike gasvrou.

Met die warm ontvangs van die vriendelike gasvrou, het ons dadelik tuis gevoel. Die huis was 'n koel lafenis nadat ons uitermate hitte van 41°C op die pad beleef het. Alles was netjies en skoon, en die beddegoed kraak-vars. Die ligging was perfek geleë om gou deur die dorp te kon stap en alles te besigtig. Mai's Gastehuis is ook reg langs, so kom dit voor, die gesogste eetplek op Prins Albert. Die ontbyt was ook uitstekend en werklik in 'n rustige atmosfeer buite in die tuin. Prins Albert en Mai sien ons beslis weer!

Excellent accommodation with a very helpful and friendly hostess.

With the warm reception and the friendly hostess, we immediately felt at home. The house was a cool refreshment after we experienced extreme heat of 41 degrees on the road. Everything was neat and clean, and the bedding very fresh. The location was perfect to walk through the town to see everything. Mai's Guest Lodge is also right next to, what it looks like, the best restaurant in Prince Albert. The breakfast was also excellent and really a quiet atmosphere outside in the garden. Prince Albert and Mai will definitely see us again.

Lieflike verblyf en gasvryheid.

Pragtige plekkie en 'n baie interessante gasvrou.

Mai's Guest Lodge was 'n belewenis. Die huis is pragtig, kamers gerieflik en Mai, iemand wat ek in my lewe moes leer ken. Die ontbyt was net so lekker en Mai het alles gedoen om dit vir ons 'n aangename kuier te maak. Duisende dankies Mai, ons kom groet weer as ons in daardie geweste is.

Gevoel of ons by 'n gunsteling tannie gekuier het.

Vanaf die oorweldigende hartlike welkom met intrapslag tot die laaste 'koebaai' het ons gevoel of ons by ons gunsteling tannie kuier. Mai het ons onmiddellik welkom en tuis laat voel. Die ontbyt elke oggend was nie net uit die boonste rakke nie, maar ons het bevoorreg gevoel om dit so onder die druiwe prieel te kon nuttig. Die kamers is baie goed toegerus, netjies en die beddegoed was heerlik om in te slaap - ons kamer het 'n lieflike stort. Al was dit verskriklik warm in Prins Albert, was Mai se huis altyd heerlik koel, selfs al staan die vensters oop - weet nie hoe sy dit regkry nie. Mai se lag is aansteeklik en is altyd reg met 'n lekker storie en reg om een te hoor. So kan ek aangaan en aangaan. Wat 'n wonderlike vakansie by Mai's Guest Lodge ... al was dit net twee dae!

Felt like we were visiting a favorite aunt.

From the overwhelmingly warm welcome upon entering to the last 'cow bay', we felt like we were visiting our favorite aunt. Mai immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The breakfast every morning was not only top notch, but we felt privileged to be able to enjoy it under the grape arbor. The rooms are very well equipped, tidy and the bedding was lovely to sleep in - our room has a lovely shower. Even though it was terribly hot in Prince Albert, Mai's house was always wonderfully cool, even with the windows open - don't know how she manages it. Mai's laugh is infectious and is always ready with a good story and ready to hear one. So I can go on and on. What a great vacation at Mai's Guest Lodge... even if it was only two days!

Karoo-gasvryheid gelewer deur 'n Ier.

Pragtige woning gebou om en by 1835, maar met goeie geriewe en baie ruim kamers. Die ontbyt was heerlik en niemand staan honger van die tafel af op nie. Gerieflike parkering in die hoofstraat reg voor die huis. Daai ou Karoodorp-gevoel kleef aan jou as jy deur die strate wandel.

Karoo hospitality delivered by an Irish!

Stunning house built in 1835, but with good amenities and spacious rooms. Delicious breakfast and no one leaves the table hungry. Parking available in main road in front of the house. Old Karoo town feeling surrounds you when you walk through the streets.

Perfekte blyplek of Prins Albert.

Auntie Mai het uit haar pad uit gegaan om seker te maak dat ons verblyf uit die boonste rakke kon geniet. Sonder om opdringerig te wees het sy kontak behou. Persoonlike aandag om te verseker dat die ontbyt bestelling op die nommers was en alle verwagtinge is oortref. Die eenheid was ruim, skoon en smaaklik uitgelê. Die sentrale lugreëling hou die warm somerdae in toom. Die stoepie is perfek vir oggend koffie en die binnehof waar ontbyt bedien word is iets baie spesiaals. Prins Albert het baie ander blyplekkies wat fantasties lyk, maar Mai's is waar ons volgende keer weer sal bly.

Perfect place to stay or Prince Albert.

Auntie Mai went out of her way to make sure we had the best stay possible. Without being pushy she maintained contact. Personal attention to ensure that the breakfast order was on the numbers and all expectations were exceeded. The unit was spacious, clean and tastefully laid out. The central air conditioning keeps the hot summer days at bay. The veranda is perfect for morning coffee and the courtyard where breakfast is served is something very special. Prince Albert has many other places to stay that look fantastic, but Mai's is where we will stay again next time.
