It's a cute unit (cottage 4) with kitchen, dining and sitting facilities and it was tidy. The owners received us kindly and informed us about the facilities. Outside is a nice space with a canopy with seating, a nice "splash pool" and braai area which is surrounded by a wooden fence and garden that gives privacy.

Brakdakkie is truly a "hidden gem" and I highly recommend it.
When you step in, you immediately notice that the owners have a talent for decoration. Everything has been put together with such care to create a wonderful atmosphere inside and outside the accommodation, from the unique, rough yellowwood ceilings to the handmade wire grills on the wall by the barbecue area. For us it was fantastic to wake up in the Karoo to the crowing of chickens, turkeys, geese and a donkey or two. My wife also thinks it's the nicest bath she's ever bathed in.

Greece in Prince Albert.
The accommodation was very neat and the Victorian bath a nice treat. We are not sure if there was WiFi, did not see codes. The only negative of the unit is that there is only one small window in the bathroom, which can open. It is a very cute unit, but on a warm evening the few windows are a problem. The wind was very strong and we could not leave the doors open. However, the accommodation was good and the kitchen nicely furnished. We got the feel of the Greek islands.

It's not really our taste, and the location is not ideal. A shower or hand shower would be great. It was clean and tidy, the decor is very interesting and matches the old fashioned house, but only if that's your taste. I personally would not stay there more than one day.

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response
Hi Kobus
Our photos show precisely what to expect in each of the rooms. Cottage 1 specifically advertises a bathroom with Victorian bath. If you would have preferred a shower you should have booked Cottage 2 or Cottage 3 or Cottage 4 , as they all have showers. Our rooms are famous for their old style Karoo charm, and have been featured in many magazines , as can be seen in all the photos, so if this this is not your taste you should have booked elsewhere.
Kind regards

Very cute houses with genuine Karoo feeling.
Would have liked someone to refill the toilet paper once and empty the kitchen bin once as we were there for 3 nights. Also felt it was unfair that one unit had electric blankets but not the other unit. But houses are very nicely decorated, kitchens very well equipped and lovely beds. Also very nice braai/meeting places.

Feels like farm.
Brakdakkie is slightly away from the town center so I had to either drive there, or walk a bit which is not so nice/nice. The other issue is that the place doesn't have WiFi - I didn't even look out for it because all places have it these days. Furthermore, it is peaceful, beautiful, nice and quiet and the place is very cutely decorated with antiques and implements. I think it's a nice place for a few days.

For the price I paid my stay was a very average experience. It was not good value for money.
My stay at Brakdakkie was not wow. The accommodation was neat and clean, but this is a basic requirement anyway. There was coffee, tea, sugar and biscuits, but no milk. I know it's self-catering, but we're coming from Durbanville for just one night. A bag of milk powder or cup of fresh milk in the fridge can be considered by the owners. However, my biggest disappointment was the shower that didn't drain. We had to cut our showers short otherwise the water would run out into the room. It is extremely unpleasant to stand in such a shower. I informed the owner before we left that the shower was not draining.

Hennie, thanks for taking the time to submit your review. It is a pity that you allowed a bottle of milk and slow draining shower to spoil what could have been the highlight of your trip. Our cleanliness goes above and beyond the industry norms, our years of reviews of this category speak for themselves. I do apologise that your shower water drained slowly, but as you are aware, we are currently experiencing strict water restrictions, so it is a good thing you kept your showering time to a minimum. If there is any other matter you feel strongly about, we are always available to discuss it with you.

Trudie,
Thank you for your review. Your confirmation and check in procedure email explained that we would not be able to welcome you, and that the map and keys would be found at the front door. Each cottage is clearly marked on the very easily readable map, as well as very visibly marked on each cottage building.
Insects and spiders are an everyday fact of life in the rural Karoo, due to the heat, irrigation dams, sewerage tanks and surrounding veld. Hence the fact that we supply insect repellant and room spray. Although it was completely my oversight that we forgot to supply the milk as we were out if town. You left a note informing us of this, If you had phoned us we would have made a plan to have milk delivered to your room, as that is what life in a small town is all about.
Kind regards,

Hi Danie,
Many thanks for your review. We have tried putting up mosquito nets in the past, but the result is a very messy business as the mosquitoes end up getting squashed in the fabric and it is not easy to clean it before the new guests arrive. As cleanliness is one of our top priorities, we have found the alternative of mylol spray and pedestal fans to be totally adequate if used as directed.
But we apologise if you were inconvenienced.

Hi Cheryl
We are glad that you enjoyed the splash pools, as they are a necessity in the unusual nationwide heatwaves our country has been experiencing, and we are one of the few establishments that offer private pools.
It is a pity that you never used the doom and mosquito repellent provided, as explained to you.
I apologise for the lack of milk - as you were aware we were out of town till later that evening, so that was an oversight on my part for which I apologise, but there was clearly a misunderstanding as to the availability thereof. We are always happy to oblige where we can.

It can be accepted that the character of the cottages must be maintained but security can be strengthened by installing sensible burglar bars at the window and a more practical access gate to the premises. The climate justifies air conditioning in the units.

Hennie many thanks for your comments. We understand that coming from the city you must be quite anxious about security, but Prince Albert is a safe environment, and burglar bars are definitely not necessary. We sympathise that you happened to be traveling through Prince Albert during a very hot spell, but we do not wish to compromise the integrity of the historic 1840 buildings by installing aircon, which is the reason we supply fans. All the best for 2017.

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response
Hi Mike. Thanks for your review. February is indeed the hottest month in the Karoo, which is why we have gone to the extra effort of providing private splash pools for each cottage, as well as fans for each cottage. Unfortunately air-conditioning would detract from the old buildings, as well as damage the integrity of the very old walls of the buildings. It would also mean a price increase of approximately 33%. We rather decided to keep Brakdakkie one of the most affordable, quality establishments in Prince Albert. Regards Kerrigan

I am terribly sorry that you felt you did not receive the welcome you deserved. As mentioned to you, we believe in giving our guests privacy, but have an open door policy should you need anything from us at any time. We are renowned for our cleanliness, so your rating is totally unjustified- feel free to look at previous reviews on any website for proof. If hanging space for your clothes is such a priority, it would be best to stipulate such a matter on your enquiry in future.

Dear Charles. We have a fantastic reputation for cleanliness, as any of our reviews will confirm, so I am slightly perplexed at your star rating. As for customer sevice, we apologise if you did not feel suitably welcomed, but after checking guests in we like to provide as much privacy as possible, while letting guests know that we are available at any time for anything they might need. Tea, coffee and rusks are supplied as a convenience in hygienic sachets in the event that you forgot to bring your own. It would not be economically viable to supply top of the range coffee. We supply toiletries also for your convenience, and hospitality industry standard towels, as well as 2 ply toilet paper!
We aim to make our guests feel as comfortable as possible, and welcome them to contact us at any time for anything they might need during their stay. We apologise if we did not make your stay as comfortable as you would have hoped.

Thanks very much for your review. We are glad that you enjoyed our unique style. At this time of the year, we have the lovely sunsets, and spectacular evenings where you were able to enjoy an evening around the fire (and for your convenience we do have firewood for sale on the premises). Mosquitoes are unfortunately a problem everywhere in Prince Albert at this time of the year, which is why we supply mosquito repellent in the form of body spray and plug-in machines, as well as pedestal fans which keep them at bay.
Hope to see you again in the future!

Grandpa and Grandma stayed in one cottage [double bed] and Dad and Mom and 2 kids stayed in another one [sleeps four]. We were surprised with the ingenuity of the dressing of the accommodation and yard with the use of old rusted things that were brilliantly reused. We slept wonderfully warm in well-maintained rooms and beds, where the use of old things around bedside lamps, toilet roll holders, corrugated iron wall in shower, kettle lampshades, etc., only added to the charm. The kitchens were a bit skimpy, but I think the pools must be a treat in the summer.

Only stayed one night. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
What a lovely surprise. Real old world charm. Everything was so beautiful and neat. Really enjoyed the splash pool. Will definitely go back again but this time for longer.

Neat and resourceful!
Brakdakkie is newly built and its fittings are inventive. There is a small splash pool which will be lovely in the summer. Please keep keep in mind that everything is open plan, that means the double bed and two single beds are in one room, which is ideal for a family, but maybe a little "too close for comfort" for couples or friends.

Vir oornag is dit goed om daar te bly.

For overnight it is good to stay there.
It was very hot that day and there is no air conditioning in the rooms. The one window is also too small for the size of the room. The door can be opened for fresh air at night, but there is no burglar alarm. For overnight it is good for the price you pay.

Gerieflike, stil kamer met basiese kombuisgeriewe.

Comfortable, quiet room with basic kitchen facilities.
The photo gives a fair indication of how comfortable the bed is and how the decorations look. There is a microwave and a fridge, but we went to eat in the hotel's Victoria Room on the advice of the owner and did not regret it. The water was hot, the taps were working, and the room was pitch black thanks to the solid shutters. The next morning we were able to tackle the Swartberg Pass rested.

Characterful accommodation.
Keep in mind that this time of year you may experience a heat wave or a plague of mosquitoes - but the town and surroundings are really beautiful.

Very comfortable accommodation, with very cute, original, artistic decor.
A very peaceful, quiet farm atmosphere. The room's decor is very original and artistic. Good value for money. A bit away from town centre, but Prince Albert is not that big after all.
