Splash pool en spasie buite geniet.

Dis oulike eenheid (cottage 4) met kombuis, eet- en sitgeriewe en dit was netjies. Die eienaares het ons vriendelik ontvang en ingelig oor die geriewe. Buite is lekker spasie met 'n afdak met sitplek, 'n lekker "splash pool" en braaiplekkie wat omring is met 'n houtheining en tuin wat privaatheid verleen.

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.

Pragtige unieke cottage in Prins Albert.

Ons het in Cottage 1 gebly en was baie gelukkig met ons verblyf. Alles was netjies en mooi, mens kon sien hulle het baie gedagte gegee om vir Brakdakkie Guest Cottages met unieke dekor te versier en na gaste se gerief om te sien. Die cottage is ruim met alles wat mens kan nodig hê vir 'n paar aande se verblyf.

Brakdakkie is voorwaar 'n "hidden gem" en ek beveel dit ten sterkste aan.

Met die intrapslag kom jy onmiddelik agter dat die eienaars 'n talent het vir dekorasie. Alles is met soveel sorg bymekaar gesit om 'n wonderlike atmosfeer te skep binne en buite die verblyfplekkie, van die unieke, ruwe geelhoutplafonne tot die handgemaakte draadroostertjies teen die muur by die braaiplek. Vir ons was dit fantasties om wakker te word in die Karoo met die gekraai van hoenders, kalkoene, ganse en 'n donkie of twee. My vrou reken ook dis die lekkerste bad waarin sy al ooit gebad het.

Translate to English.

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.

Wat 'n pragtige plekkie vol interessanthede.

Ons het baie lekker geslaap op goeie gehaltematrasse en beddegoed. Die afkoelbadjie buite is 'n groot pluspunt vir moeë liggame na die langpad in die Karoohitte. Brakdakkie is smaakvol ingerig met die oulikste bykomstighede wat beslis insmelt met die lieflike omgewing aan die voet van die Swartberge. Baie dankie.

Griekeland in Prins Albert.

Die verblyf was baie netjies en die Viktoriaanse bad 'n lekker bederf. Ons is nie seker of daar WiFi was nie, het nie kodes gesien nie. Die enigste negatief van die eenheid is dat daar net een klein venstertjie is in die badkamer, wat kan oopmaak. Dit is 'n baie oulike eenheid, maar op 'n warm aand is die min vensters 'n probleem. Die wind was baie sterk en ons kon nie die deure ooplos nie. Die verblyf was egter goed en die kombuis oulik ingerig. Ons het die gevoel van die Griekse eilande gekry.

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.

Goeie, karaktervolle Karoo-selfsorgverblyf.

Verblyf skakel mooi in by die dorpie se Karoo-atmosfeer. Neem kennis die plonspoele het weens probleem met dorpswater nie nou water in nie.

Good, characterful Karoo self-catering accommodation.

Accommodation fits in nicely with the village's Karoo atmosphere. Note that the splash pools do not currently have water in them due to a problem with town water.

Baie lekker en mooi plek.

Baie lekker plek en baie netjies. Dalk moet hulle net dink aan solar vir die loadshedding. Het daar aangekom sonder krag en oggend wakker geword sonder krag. Baie warm sonder 'n waaier.

Baie mooi dekor en netjies.

Lekker gebly, ongelukkig in 'n baie warm tyd Prince Albert besoek. Waaier het nie baie gehelp nie, sal meer 'n lugreëlaar aanbeveel. Nogsteeds waarde vir geld en baie sentraal geleë. Ook 'n klein swembad om in af te koel.

Dit is nie wat ek verwag het nie, daar is geen stort nie, maar was skoon.

Dit is nou nie eintlik ons smaak nie, en die ligging is nie ideaal nie. 'n Stort of hand shower sal great wees. Dit was skoon en netjies, die dekor is baie interessant en pas by die outydse huis, maar net as dit jou smaak is. Ek persoonlik sal nie meer as een dag daar bly nie.

It's not what I expected, there is no shower, but was clean.

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.

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

The cottage was quaint and very old world, but lacked nothing that we needed. Load shedding did not help, but we coped. The bed was firm and comfortable, and the ambience of the room took us back to our childhoods. A very pleasant experience.

Ons het baie lekker gebly en kamer was skoon en netjies. My enigste probleem was dat ek nooit my gasheer ontmoet het nie. Ons enigste kommunikasie was deur WhatsApp. Hoewel hy al my vrae beantwoord het, sou dit tog lekker gewees het om hom te ontmoet en 'n paar woorde te wissel.

Ons is vriendelik ontvang en het gou tuis gevoel.

Ons het veral gehou van die omheinde tuin met sy braaiplek en plonspoel. Dit skep 'n baie gemaklike en privaat atmosfeer. Die braairooster het wel al beter dae gehad. Omdat ons gedurende ons verblyf kragprobleme ondervind het (Eskom) kan daar dalk voorsiening gemaak word met behulp van gasstofie en herlaaibare ligte vir toekomstige gaste. Kerse is nie altyd so gerieflik nie.

We were received kindly and soon felt at home.

We especially liked the enclosed garden with its braai area and splash pool. It creates a very comfortable and private atmosphere. The grill has seen better days. Because we experienced power problems during our stay (Eskom) it may be possible to provide gas stove and rechargeable lights for future guests. Candles are not always so convenient.

Knus, karaktervolle plekkie met unieke versiersels wat die verblyf spesiaal gemaak het. Die private plonspoel was 'n lewensredder tydens twee baie warm dae. Insekte was lastig, maar gastehuis het voorsiening gemaak vir afweermiddels. Eenheid 3 se braaigeriewe kan verbeter.

Baie oulike huisies met egte Karoo-gevoel.

Sou wou gehad het dat iemand een keer toiletpapier moes kom aanvul en een keer kombuisdrommetjie kom leegmaak het aangesien ons daar was vir 3 nagte. Het ook gevoel dat dit onregverdig was dat die een eenheid elektriese komberse gehad het maar nie die ander eenheid. Maar huisies is baie mooi versier, kombuisies baie goed toegerig en lieflike beddens. Ook baie lekker braai/kuierplekkies.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

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.

Voel soos plaas.

Brakdakkie is effens weg van die middedorp so ek moes of ry soheen, of 'n stukkie stap wat nie so mooi/lekker is nie. Die ander kwessie is dat die plekkie nie WiFi het nie - ek het nie eens daarvoor uitgekyk nie, want alle plekke het dit deesdae. Verder is dit rustig, mooi, lekker stil en is die plekkie baie oulik versier met oudhede en implemente. Ek dink dis 'n oulike plek vir 'n paar dae.

This review is being shown in its original language.
Translate to English.

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.

Die rustigheid laat jou so ontspan.

Ons het verskriklik lekker gebly. Lance het ons baie vriendelik ontvang en het ons regtig laat voel asof ons die belangrikste gaste daar was. Die innoverende versiering is prettig en nostalgies. Jy kan die trots in die huisie voel. Die gasvryheid en diens is onbeskryflik, want om 23:00 wakker geklop te word vir 'n tweepuntprop (ons het ons s'n vergeet en moes dringend die fone charge) en met 'n smile vir ons een te gee - wow! Lance en Kerrigan, julle plek is beautiful en ons het dit verskriklik geniet. Julle sien ons verseker weer volgende jaar. Baie dankie!

Lance and Kerrigan, your place is beautiful and we really enjoyed it. You will surely see us again next year. Thank you very much!

Smoorverlief geraak op die plek.

Ek hou van mooi maar hierdie Brakdakkie was die heel mooiste! Daar is nie die kleinste dingetjie wat nie met sorg en netheid en goeie smaak gedoen is nie. Die bed is heerlik groot - die kussings lekker sag, beskuit in 'n botteltjie, tydskrifte om te lees en die wonderlikste stort. Mens moet dit self ervaar om dit ten volle te kan waardeer. Ek wou sommer net daar bly tot in ewigheid - julle kry meer as vyf sterre by ons. Baie, baie dankie!

The bed is wonderfully big - the pillows nice and soft, biscuits in a little bottle, magazines to read and the most amazing shower. You have to experience it yourself to fully appreciate it. I just wanted to stay there forever - you get more than five stars with us. Thank you very, very much!

Karoo-huisie rusplek.

Brakdakkies bied heerlike rusplek. Dis eenvoudig, maar stylvol, en het al die basiese geriewe (dompelpot vir moerkoffie, yskas, mikro, verwarmer, elektriese komberse). Bring maar 'n klein botteltjie melk vir die yskas en hout vir die vuurput/braai. Ons was blitsig in en uit en het dit absoluut geniet.

Het die woonplek baie goed gevind, fantastiese keuse van versiering.

Het die hele werf interessant gevind, baie fyn keuse van “rondlê items” was ‘n indruk van lankal skep. Die versiering en detail in die woonplek is uit die boonste rakke, ons kon sien dat baie moeite gedoen is maar glad nie té veel nie, 10 uit 10! Heerlik koel met daardie dik mure.

Brakdakkie is 'n pragtige netjiese afsaalplek vir 'n naweek. Kerri en Lance is vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die cottage is interessant versier en die lekker bed en dons-duvet was 'n wenner. Mens voel tuis en die binne versiering - veral die "long-drop" met die pampoen op die dak - is pragtig!

Vir die prys wat ek betaal het was my verblyf 'n baie gemiddelde ervaring. Dit was nie goeie waarde vir geld nie.

My verblyf by Brakdakkie was nie wow nie. Die akkommodasie was netjies en skoon, maar dit is in elk geval 'n basiese vereiste. Daar was koffie, tee, suiker en beskuit, maar geen melk nie. Ek weet dit is selfsorg, maar ons kom van Durbanville vir net een aand. 'n Sakkie melkpoeier of bekertjie vars melk in die yskas kan deur die eienaars oorweeg word. My grootste teleurstelling was egter die stort wat nie gedreineer het nie. Ons moes ons storte kortknip anders sou die water in die vertrek uitloop. Dit is uiters onaangenaam om in so 'n stort te staan. Ek het die eienaar voor ons vertrek ingelig dat die stort nie dreineer nie.

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.

Not family friendly.

Too many objects on the drive-way, resulting in car scratches. Paths within the residence suddenly blocked off with logs following children's cycling, thus children could no longer cycle.

Fikile,

Many thanks for your review. We were most accommodating as you booked for a family of 2 adults and 2 children, and arrived as a family of 4 adults and 4 children, as well as an extra very large vehicle. The bicycle traffic in our vegetable garden left us with damaged irrigation pipes.

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,
Kerrigan

Ons verblyf was beslis 'n ervaring om vir altyd te koester, nostalgies.

Ons verblyf was baie spesiaal vanaf ons aankoms. Die klein dingetjies waaraan aandag gegee was was vir ons spesiaal, koue yskas met ysbakkies gevul asook die netheid van die hele vertrek was opvallend. Komplimente vir die goeie smaak en gebruik van antieke oudhede saam met nuwe elemente. Daar was ook oorgenoeg breekware (van goeie gehalte) en selfs lekker wynglase soos ons verkies. Dankie!

Compliments for the good taste and use of ancient antiques together with new elements. There was also plenty of crockery (of good quality) and even nice wine glasses as we prefer. Thank you!

Ongekunsteld, skoon en gerieflik.

Ons het weereens heerlik gekuier by Brakdakkie. Ontvangs is vriendelik en effektief. Die eenheid is goed toegerus en baie netjies. Ons het die braaiplek gebruik en kon kies of ons binne of buite wou eet. Geen TV, salig!

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.

Kerrigan

Heerlike cosy kothuisie.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Die kothuis het al wat mens nodig het. Die weer was nie aan ons kant nie maar ek dink mens kan lekker braai en buite op die stoep kuier. As die droogte verby is en dit lekker warm is dink ek is dit heerlik in die plonspoel!

Ek soek ook so 'n "shabby chic" huis! Hierdie pragtige juweel van plekkie is nie net ongelooflik mooi, rustig, stil en 'n ware wegkruipplekkie (as jy een soek) nie, maar is naby genoeg aan die gebeure van die gewilde dorpie. Dit het my laat verlief raak op hierdie pragtige bestemming. Ons sal vir seker terugkom tot ons in al 4 eenhede van Brakdakkie oornag het!

Incredible gem that not too many people should know about. We want to keep the place to ourselves. The decor has been done with so much care and the intimate and private swimming pool offers the perfect escape if the Karoo heat becomes too unbearable.

Dit was wonderlik om by Brakdakkie tuis te gaan - beveel dit aan by almal.

Dit was wonderlik om by brakdakkie tuis te gaan. Alles was perfek. Die blommetjie vir verwelkoming het vir ons baie beteken dit was spesiaal. Die beskuit was die ekstra wat alles ook so spesiaal gemaak het. Deur die klein dingetjies maak alles die moeite werd - dit wys hul gee om vir hul gaste. Dit was alles so skoon en netjies. Baie dankie vir die wonderlike tyd!

It was wonderful to go home to brakdakkie. Everything was perfect. The welcome flower meant a lot to us, it was special. The rusk was the extra that made everything so special. The little things make everything worthwhile - it shows they care about their guests. It was all so clean and tidy. Thank you so much for the wonderful time!

Pragtige plattelandse atmosfeer vir enige stadsjapie. Baie netjies en skoon. Kunstig versier. Alle behoeftes bevredig met voldoende toerusting, vanaf verwarmer tot selfs warmwatersakke vir die koue weer. Volledig toegeruste kombuisie met koffie, tee en beskuit. Goeie waarde vir geld.

Beautiful decor and a very welcome splash pool.

Really beautiful decor and a very welcome splash pool as it was very very hot, the rooms were all very clean. The only thing they need to do is put in doom spray or something to kill the mosquitoes they were unbearable even if they used those plug in ones it would help. One couple travelling with us weren't happy to be told to go to the shop to buy milk as there wasn't any provided with the tea and coffee - we were on bikes and had travelled in 40 degree heat wave from Cape Town. But otherwise a vey nice stop over.

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response

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.

Regards,
Kerrigan

Skoon, netjies, alles wat jy nodig het, mal oor die dekor. Ietsie anders.

Ons het in Nr. 2 geslaap. Baie lekker geslaap. Al die huisvesting is in dieselfde styl. Beveel Brakdakkie aan. Enigste negatief vir my is die binne venster luike (wat as 'n gordyn dien) maak nie mooi toe nie, daar is skrefies tussen die plankies.

Interessante dekor en gerieflik.

Dit kan aanvaar word dat die karakter van die cottages behou moet word maar sekuriteit kan verskerp word deur sinvolle diefwering by venster te installeer en 'n meer praktiese toegangshek tot perseel. Die klimaat regverdig lugreeling in die eenhede.

This review is being shown in its original language.

Interesting decor and comfortable.

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.

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response

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.

Lekker.

Pragtige huisie en baie goed ingerig, maar die dorp is baie raserig. 'n Kerkgroep het iewers in die dorp diens gehou oor luidsprekers dat ons mekaar skaars kon hoor praat terwyl ons buite gesit het. Vuurmaakhout word voorsien, maar dit was baie moeilik om die vuur aan die gang te kry aangesien daar geen vuuraanstekers, fynhout of byl is om stompe mee te kloof nie. Hulle voorsien nie dit nie.

Nice.

Beautiful house and very well furnished, but the town is very noisy. A church group was holding a service somewhere in town over loudspeakers that we could barely hear each other talking as we sat outside. Firewood is provided, but it was very difficult to get the fire going as there are no fire starters, fine wood or ax to split logs with. They don't provide that.

Intriguing experience at this unique B&B.

The décor is fascinating and really different in all respects. One very important issue which we felt was essential and which has been overlooked, is the absence of airconditioning in one of the hottest spots in summer in SA.

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

Oulike plek maar kamer te koud.

Oulike skoon plek, maar sal sal slegs in die somer vir iemand aanbeveel. Kamer was baie koud en kon verhoed gewees het as eienaars voor die tyd die paneelverwarmer aangesit het. Behoort ook meer as een te hê in die winter. 'n Matjie voor die bed, die sementvloere is nice, maar bitter koud. Dit maak jou verblyf onaangenaam.

Quaint, clean place but I only recommend it for summer. Room very cold and this could have been avoided if owners added heaters. There should be more than one in winter. And a carpet in front of the bed, the cement floors are nice, but very cold. It made the stay uncomfortable.

Ons het 'n paar keer al in Prince Albert gebly. Ek kan hierdie blyplek nie vergelyk met ons vorige ondervinding nie.

Eienares is nie ingestel op kliëntediens nie. Sy het glad nie aangebied om inligting te deel oor Prince Albert nie. Dit was goed vir ons, maar vir mense wat die eerste keer die dorp besoek, sou hulle maar moes staatmaak op Zomato en Informasie om hulle inligting te gee. Geen hangplek vir klere nie. Sal moeilik wees as jy vir langer as een aand moet oorbly sonder hangspasie.

Owner is not customer service minded. She did not offer to share information about Prince Albert at all.

Will be difficult if you have to stay for more than one night without hanging space.

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.

Rustig en skoon.

Ek het ongelukkig meer verwag. Die plekkie was knus, skoon met pragtige dekor, maar beknop. Klein aspekte met ons verblyf kon dit meer aangenaam gemaak het in vergelyking met ander selfsorg-eenhede op ons reis. Gegewe die prys sou goeie varsgebakte beskuit, kwaliteit handelsmerk koffie en beter toiletware die prentjie vervolmaak het.

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.

Ongelooflike kothuis, met liefde gerestoureer, voedsel vir die gees.

Lance en Kerry het hierdie kothuise met die grootste liefde en respek gerestoureer en die dekor is absoluut uniek - ons as gaste het dit baie waardeer. Die kothuis is met alles toegerus vir 'n heerlike verblyf en baie skoon. Die "plonspoel" is 'n wonderlike lafenis na 'n baie warm dag op die pad, of rondloop in die dorp. Dit was ons eerste besoek aan die pragtige Prins Albert, en ons verblyf het dit nog meer spesiaal gemaak. Rustige plaas-atmosfeer. Voedsel vir die gees. Dankie vir 'n besonderse tydjie.

'n Unieke plek met plaasgevoel.

Die konsep van ou implemente gebruik as binne- en buiteversiering is uniek en maak vir 'n unieke ondervinding van plaas. "Buitegeboue" (stal/skuur) is slim ombou tot gerieflike verblyfareas met nodige fasiliteite. Ons sal dit beslis aanbeveel.

A unique place with a farm feeling.

The concept of old implements used as interior and exterior decoration is unique and makes for a unique farm experience. "Outbuildings" (stable/barn) have been cleverly converted into comfortable accommodation areas with necessary facilities. We would definitely recommend it.

Charming, charasmatic cottage well suited for a great weekend break away.

The cottage was well prepared and charming. Lance was very accommodating. It serves as an ideal couples' break away. We visited in the winter (without snow on the mountains yet). It would be the perfect winter cottage if there were a slow combustion fireplace or dover stove for heating. I would recommend Brakdakkie to anyone looking to experience the charm of Prince Albert, especially given the lovely décor of the cottage.

Definitief nie alledaags nie, naby aan die hoofstraat en eetplekke. In iemand se agterplaas. Sou 'n pakkie hout verkies vir die vuur. Die eenddammetjie pla en daar is baie muskiete. Andersins was die netjies, skoon en goeie waarde vir geld.

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response

Dear Pieter,

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!

Kind regards,

Ons het die tydjie in die baie goed versorgde eenheid terdeë geniet. Alles was in orde en uiters skoon en netjies. Miskien 'n bietjie koud, maar dit was die minste. Die gasheer en dame was baie gaaf en ons het gou tuis gevoel.

Baie dankie, ons het lekker gekuier!

Oupa en Ouma het in een kothuis gebly [dubbelbed] en Pa en Ma en 2 kinders het in 'n ander een [slaap vier] gebly. Ons was verras met die vindingrykheid van die inkleding van die akkommodasie en werf met die gebruik van ou verroeste goed wat skitterend in hergebruik geneem is. Ons het heerlik warm geslaap in goed versorgde kamers en beddens, waar die gebruik van ou goed om bedlampies, toiletrolhouers, sinkplaatmuur in stort, ketellampskerms, ens, net bygedra het tot die sjarme. Die kombuise was 'n bietjie knap toegerus, maar ek dink die swembaddens moet 'n lafenis in die somer wees.

Thank you very much, we had a great time!

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.

Gemiddeld.

Ons het net oorgeslaap, en dit was soos genoem - gemiddeld. Aan die positiewe kant is dit baie skoon. Gashere sou terugkom oor ontbyt, maar het nooit van hulle gehoor nie. Ricoffy pakkies vir koffie - nie op standaard. Sal ek weer daar bly? As ek nie iets beters kry nie, ja.

The cottage seemed to aim more for an artistic impression than for comfort.

The door and windows could not be closed well enough to keep out insects during the night. A repellant was provided but a mosquito net would have been much better. We missed a shower, we are not really the bathing types. Although "interesting", the old stuff theme did not do anything in the way of comfort. Europeans are apparently much taller judging by the length of the bed (and in this case the size of the doors - though this was probably part of the old stuff theme).

Brakdakkie Guest Cottages 's response

Hi Ellen,
We have 4 cottages - 3 have showers, but I reserved the room with the bath as you requested. We supply mosquito nets on request. Our beds our standard length, as advertised.
We our famous for our décor - original, authentic 1840 structural pieces and antique items, as advertised.
We hope that you enjoyed our beautiful town.

Ons het heerlik gebly! Dit was baie rustig en ons het gehou van al die Karoo-sjiek dekor.

Ons gasheer het ons baie welkom laat voel en al ons vrae beantwoord. Die herwinning van ou geroeste implemente om lampe te maak was inspirerend. Die kinders veral was mal oor hulle lampe wat uit ou bekers gemaak was. Die klein swembad wat net mooi al 4 van ons kon pas was 'n wenner. Ons sal vir seker weer daar 'n draai maak.

Baie mooi en rustig!

Ek en my gesin het twee nagte in Brakdakkie in Prins Albert gebly in Julie 2014. Dit is 'n baie netjiese plek, met een dubbelbed en twee enkelbeddens. Handdoeke en beddegoed word voorsien, en die kombuis het alles wat jy nodig het. Die eienaars is baie vriendelik, en voorsien elke dag vars melk, sap en beskuit. Daar is ook koffie en tee in die kombuis. Dit is heerlik om soggens in die Karoo-sonnetjie beskuit op die stoep te geniet, met die hoenders wat vir jou kom kuier! Dit is 'n lekker stil omgewing, en 'n mens voel baie veilig. Die dorp en sy mense het ons bekoor. Ons sal beslis weer soontoe gaan.

There is also coffee and tea in the kitchen. It is wonderful to enjoy biscuits on the porch in the morning in the Karoo sun, with the chickens that come to visit you! It is a nice quiet environment, and one feels very safe. The town and its people charmed us. We will definitely go there again.

Netjies en vindingryk!

Brakdakkie is nuutgebou en sy bybehore is vindingryk. Daar is 'n klein plonspoel wat heerlik sal wees in die somer. Hou asb. in gedagte dat alles oopplan is, dit beteken die dubbelbed en twee enkelbeddens is in een vertrek, wat ideaal is vir 'n gesin, maar dalk 'n bietjie "too close for comfort" is vir paartjies of vriende.

This review is being shown in its original language.

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.

Dit was baie warm die dag en daar is geen lugversorging in die kamers. Die een venster is ook te klein vir die grootte van die vertrek. Die deur kan oopgemaak word vir vars lug in die nag, maar daar is geen diefwering. Vir oornag is dit goed teen die prys wat jy betaal.

Gerieflike, stil kamer met basiese kombuisgeriewe.

Die foto gee 'n billike aanduiding van hoe gerieflik die bed is en hoe die versierings lyk. Daar is 'n mikrogolf en 'n yskas, maar ons het op advies van die eienaar in die hotel se Victoria Room gaan eet en was nie spyt daaroor nie. Die water was warm, die krane werk, en die kamer was pikdonker danksy die soliede huitluike. Ons kon die volgende oggend die Swartbergpas uitgerus aanpak.

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.

Hou in gedagte dat jy die tyd van die jaar dalk 'n hittegolf beleef of 'n plaag muskiete - maar die dorp en omgewing is regtig pragtig.

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.

'n Unieke en gasvrye Karoo-ervaring!

'n Baie oulike en "quirky" atmosfeer ... en 'n heerlike koel buitebad na 'n warm dag!

Alles van goeie gehalte en pragtig skoon.

Ons het net een aand oorgeslaap by Brakdakkie. Dit was 'n goeie ervaring. Alles was netjies en silwerskoon. Welgedaan!!! Let net op om asb. te vra vir die kamer met 'n stort as jy stort bo bad verkies.

Fantastic Karoo experience in style!!

Brakdakkie gave us all we wanted: stylish and clean accommodation with a difference. Our hosts have gone to much trouble to establish retro Karoo decor. The room is beautiful and made us feel at home. In summer the splash pool will come in handy. We enjoyed the privacy of the separate cottages and the fact that there was no TV! Value for money. An automatic entrance gate would have perfected our stay.

Baie gerieflike verblyf, met baie oulike, oorspronklike, kunstige dekor.

'n Baie rustige, stil plaasatmosfeer. Die kamer se dekor is baie oorspronlik en kunstig. Goeie waarde vir geld. Bietjie weg van middedorp, maar Prins Albert is tog nie so groot nie.

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.

Stunning decor, spotless and so beautifully furnished - we loved Brakdakkie.

A big thank you to Kerri and Lance for being so willing to accommodate our Golden Retriever. The authenticity of the decor and attention to detail makes Brakdakkie very special. Highly recommendable.
