Pragtige plekkie met alles wat nodig is en troeteldiervriendelik.

Die huisie is ideaal vir 2 mense met 'n troeteldier. Uitstekend beplan met alles wat benodig word en lekker spasie in die olyfboord vir hondjies om rond te hardloop.

Perfek om Prince Albert te verken.

Uitstekende ligging. Alles is nuut en skoon. Heerlik geslaap - koninggrootte bed het die perfekte matras. Tafel en stoele op die stoep vir ete/werk. Daar is ook 2 gemakstoele - maar 'n dagbed of hangmat sou die prentjie voltooi het. Vir stadsbewoners soos ons, sou ons die huisalarm in die aand wou kon aanskakel.

Perfect for exploring Prince Albert.

Excellent location. Everything is new and clean. Slept great - king size bed has the perfect mattress. Table and chairs on the veranda for dining/work. There are also 2 easy chairs - but a daybed or hammock would have completed the picture. For city dwellers like us, we would like to be able to turn on the house alarm in the evening.

Karoo Masterclass Cottage 's response

Most of the southern Groot Karoo was without power for 36 hours as a result of breaker issues at the Leeu Gamka substation.
We sent all our guests multiple messages on this. Most certainly the problem was not our solar inverter backup system. At least our guests had Wi-Fi, lights, TV and DStv during the blackout. Most cottages have gas stoves and those with electric stoves have gas cookers to make hot water. We supplied extra wood to all our guests at no charge to help keep warm. We pride ourselves on having an emergency backup for water and electricity.

Dis ons eerste 'oorslaap' in Prince Albert en volgende keer gaan ons vir seker weer hier bespreek. Pragtige plek, mooiste tuin en ons het so lekker onder die sterre in die tuin gebraai met die braaipak wat voorsien is! Hemel in die Karoo.

Snoesig en privaat.

Die huisie is knap maar cosy. Dit sal lekker wees in die somer om buite te braai en in die plonspoel wat ook kan warm maak te kan swem en sterrekyk.

Cozy and private.

The house is nice but cosy. It will be nice in the summer to have a barbecue outside and to be able to swim and stargaze in the splash pool which can also be heated.

Tranquility and luxury is worth paying a bit extra for.

Perfect location, a luxury beautifuly decorated space and lovely to have private garden as well. My only negative feedback is that I would have loved to have cooked a meal (we were on a roadtrip and were a bit tired of eating all meals in restaurants by that point) and think for the kind of accommodation this is, a 2nd induction plate would have been nice (as there is no stove). Part of the reason for booking self-catering was so we could eat-in.

Karoo Masterclass Cottage 's response

Marion and I were talking about this exact issue this morning. We just stayed in a place in the Cederberg that didn't have enough cooking equipment. We were discussing gas tops and gas ovens as your review came in. Synchronicity.
We are not sure if we are going to get a free-standing oven or more cooker tops, but by next week we will have closed this issue out. Can we offer you a super discount on future booking so you can come see for yourself that we have taken your review to heart and addressed the issue.

Prince Albert and the Karoo Materclass Cottage are beautiful.

We were really grateful to be able to sleep over on Christmas Day. The cottage and garden are really beautiful, but the floors have not been vacuumed or washed recently. We also couldn't sleep because of a terrible noise in the roof or outside the bedroom. Apparently it has something to do with the air conditioning, but it was also too hot to sleep without the air conditioning. The pool was also much smaller than it looked in the photos, a family of four could fit in but not move.

Lekker gebly.

Ons het lekker gebly. Ons het egter verwag dat daar twee slaapkamers sou wees. Ons kinders moes ongelukkig op 'n slaapbank in die TV kamer slaap en uit hul tasse leef. Verder was dit baie lekker, goed toegerus en gerieflik naby aan eetplekke. Gasheer het ons mooi gehelp om besienswaardighede te besoek.

Nice stay.

We had a nice stay. However, we expected there to be two bedrooms. Unfortunately, our children had to sleep on a sofa bed in the TV room and live out of their suitcases. Furthermore, it was very nice, well equipped and conveniently close to places to eat. Host helped us nicely to visit attractions.

Thank you for the review.

We are sorry to hear about your surprise at the rooms, the website does indicate a sleeper couch is used in the lounge for any extra persons.
The docs we send out also show the cottage as being 1 bedroomed only.
But we would far rather prevent any misunderstandings in advance.
When you book with us in the future, please remind us of this incident and I am sure we can make amends for this booking.
Happy and safe travels for 2022.
