Clean and tidy modern self-catering unit with pool centrally located in Prince Albert.
Newly built self-catering unit with modern equipment and swimming pool in Prince Albert. Ideally located on the main street near the famous Prince Albert Hotel, yet very quiet and peaceful due to the property's unique piped location. Walking distance from all attractions. Secure parking under shade trees. Hostess went out of her way to make us feel welcome. Highly recommend.

My wife and I spent a weekend there with two elderly ladies in the second room.
The second room is smaller with little hanging space. It has separate access from outside, not from inside the house. It is more suitable for primary school/teenage children than adults. The rest of the house is very pleasant, spacious and nicely furnished. We lived right behind the Rude Chef and had a great meal there. There is only a Weber braai.

Note that Gecko's other cottage is also on the same site and that you have to share the wading pool. So privacy can be an issue for guests.

When we were on our way we just had to let them know roughly what time we would be there so that Bryan & June could meet us and bring keys. They were so nice from start to finish and nothing is too much trouble for them. The cottage is so nice and clean and is provided with coffee, tea and sugar. The small swimming pool is great for cooling down after a hot day, as is the aircon in the house. Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling through Prince Albert. The place is central in town but slightly "hidden" so it doesn't feel like you're in town.

Lovely getaway
A beautiful cottage with a comfortable kitchen and living room. Although it was not cold enough, the fireplace would have been ideal for this "cozy" cottage. Next time we will book the other cottage as well, because the courtyard with the swimming pool with its beautiful verandas is ideal for 3 couples or a family weekend away. Thank you very much for a wonderful weekend. The lovely mattress on the bed and the huge shower head in the shower ensured a lot of relaxation.

The owner Bryan texted us the morning of our arrival and asked if we could give him an approximate time of when we would arrive. We did and upon our arrival he was there to receive us personally. The reception was very pleasant and he created the impression that he wants to make his guests feel at home and at ease. The chalet is very well equipped if you want to prepare your own dinner and breakfast. We were then left to our own devices and were able to relax wonderfully in the small pool before enjoying a delicious dinner at the hotel just across the street. Would definitely recommend Gecko.

It was delicious and we want to go again!
Gecko Cottages (2) are located in the heart of the town, behind businesses on the main street. We expected noise to be a problem, but were pleasantly surprised by the peace and quiet. No problem with parking and lovely spacious units. The "splash pool" brought great relief. Both cottages were excellently equipped. The large stoeps and braai facilities were truly a plus. The cottage is not serviced daily, but this was not a problem for us. We only found the bathroom (of a single cottage) a bit inconvenient - it is small and there are no shelves or surfaces on which you can place your cosmetics. The larger cottage (2 bedroom) is better equipped - even with dishwasher and washing machine. Both have fireplaces, air conditioning and ceiling fans which are definitely necessary for Prince Albert. A laundry next to the entrance for those who don't want to do their own laundry. The host and hostess are particularly friendly and helpful.
