Fresh air and silence, just what we needed.
Three days left. The view of the Black Mountains is incredibly beautiful. Lovely quiet in the evenings. Lovely bouma, perfect for stargazing. PS The restaurant was only open on the last day and there was no mention of an English breakfast, yet these were mentioned as highlights that are available when you stay longer than a day.

A jewel in the Karoo.
As always, Karoo view was such a nice experience. It is comfortable accommodation with everything you need, a nice view of the Karoo and our dogs had so much fun running around, because the whole property is fenced around. Nice fireplace and even extras like yogurt and meusli in the morning. Will definitely go again.

Beautiful view and lovely unit.
The unit is beautifully equipped with the most beautiful view of the mountains in a quiet area. It is a wonderful trip, also for a family. It's heated pool with boma area is definitely a winner. The service was very good and the arrangements quickly made - the management team answered all my questions effectively and nothing was too much trouble for them. These units are very exceptionally good value for money. I highly recommend them to any business and/or vacationer. You won't go wrong with these units. Many thanks to the management team.

Karoo View Cottages 's response
Hello Tersia and thank you for your review.
Check out time is unfortunately determined by check in time.
We allow guests to check in from 14:00.
If previous guests leave late, we simply do not have the time to service and to sanitize properly.
And we are still living with Covid rules and regulations.
We simply have to make sure the cottages are 100% cleaned, serviced and sanitised for the incoming guests.
It is not a surprise to our guests as we mention check in and check out times in all our advertising and paperwork.
But good to see you enjoyed the accomodation and the facilities we offer.
Tjorts, Howard.

Definitely recommend
I would definitely recommend Karoo View Cottages for a nice getaway. It's far enough out of town for total peace and quiet, yet within walking distance of all the sights and all the happenings. The rooms are tastefully furnished, but I only have one small thing that bothered me. It's just an opinion, but there is only one bedside lamp and the overhead lights are a bit of an overkill. That was literally all that mattered.

The host explained everything well upon our arrival and we immediately saw that they had thought of everything. We rented three units for the long weekend and all my children were there with their spouses. This Lapa is the best visit one could ask for in the Karoo and the fire was burning high. Units offer all luxuries with fireplaces, very neat, clean and new bedding, good lighting and large bathrooms. The premises are very neat and there is certainly a firm hand on maintenance and very good taste when it comes to the interior decoration. Furthermore, the village of Prins Albert offers the rest, peaceful walks through the town, nice places to eat and then the incredible drive over the Swartberg Pass. It was the perfect stay for our family weekend.

Comfortable neat accommodation.
The unit has a luxurious feel in terms of decor, and has everything you need. We were well received on arrival, and the braai packets we ordered were tasty and nicely packaged as expected. The rooms are very close together, and you have little privacy. Sound between rooms could be isolated better. The stoepie offers a nice view of Prince Albert's village, which is within walking distance. From our experience during the period we stayed there, Prince Albert gets bad winds. We think there are areas that Karoo View can look at to provide more for the windy weather conditions. There is a road opposite the accommodation which is not clearly visible in the photos, although not very busy it is quite close to the cottages. It appeared during our visit that the herb garden no longer existed, which was quite disappointing. Although the cottage was beautiful and we had a great stay, our expectations were higher.

Karoo View Cottages 's response
Hello Nadine, thank you for your review.
Sound isolation between the rooms is something we take very seriously and to this end, we have approached a company called Sondor who make sound isolating sheets for the the engine bays around buses. They are making us sheets, of this open celled foam for us to line the communal walls in the cottages, this will reduce the through noise dramatically. The new cottages we are building soon will have this product incorporated into the building process.
The infamous "Karool Cooler Wind". The wind does blow in our hot months, cools down the Karoo. But again, we do acknowledge the impact it has on our guests and we will be building a second boma later this year that will be more windproof than the swimming pool boma. This will allow guests to braai even in high wind, but obviously this will not have the views of the pool boma as we have to build this as a closed boma to keep the wind out.
We do have a second herb garden with Rosemary, Lemon Grass, Chives, Sage and lots more etc, pity we didn't know you were looking for any herbs, certainly we could have helped you out.
As new owners, we have spent tens of thousands of Rands upgrading the main tunnel. During your stay, the planter boxes had just been built, but we had to let the soil settle and grow the weeds out before planting. In the last three weeks we have planted tomatoes, basil, aubergines, chilies, mint, lettuce, oreganum, coriander, carrots, strawberries, raspberry, gooseberry's. The list goes on, 100% we want our guests to pick freshly grown fruit and vegetables to enjoy with their braai, nothing better.
Certainly we hope this has answered some of your points. We give all our guests at least 3 phone numbers to contact us on, we have a call button service at reception and the property is manned 24 hours a day by staff who are simply waiting to assist our guests. Next time you need any items of concern addressed at Karoo View Cottages, please contact us and we will immediately get onto it.
Cheers for now. Howard and Marion.

The only thing I am disappointed about is that we only stayed one night!
After a long day on the road it was lovely to just relax. The unit is exceptionally well equipped with everything you need. It is also the small things that make a difference, like the cereal, fresh milk, coffee, tea and even nice sweet wine! We unfortunately didn't meet Julie, but Richard received us in a friendly manner and we immediately felt welcome. I will definitely recommend Karoo View Cottages and will go back as soon as I havve the opportunity.

Good value for money. I will definitely go back. The only thing that might make a difference is a braai spot on each spot's stoep - so you can braai and visit near your family. I will definitely recommend it to others (already sent to 4 other people).

Dear Brenda, we are so very glad that you enjoyed your stay with us and we thank you for your valued support.
I am sorry that we don't have braai areas on our stoeps, but due to the Natural Reed ceilings this would be a fire hazard I am afraid, but we have provided 3 of the 4 cottages with their own private braai area just outside, so I am sorry that you had to use the communal braai area.
We thank you again and we look forward to welcoming you back.

The countryside, beautiful view of the mountains and tranquility give the feeling of a Karoo farm, yet you are actually in the town. It was a great experience and we would love to go back.
