Great stay in a luxury home! We'll see you again soon!
We had an amazing stay at Ta Mala's. The spacious houses with clean bathrooms that have a shower and a bath were a great treat. We could sit for hours and hang out on Olive's porch while we could greet Prince Albert's visitors passing by in the street and share our enjoyment of the town with them.

Fantastic, comfortable, clean!
The place is perfectly located, we could walk everywhere, I could also ride from there to the cycling starting point. Everything we needed was there, as well as many details such as matches and "fire lighters" and wood at a very good price. The beds were wonderfully warm and everything was very comfortable.

Ta Mala is the best self-catering unit we have stayed in after many visits to Prince Albert. The units know what the visitor's expectations are, clearly have experience in the industry and touch. The cottage is modern, but with passion for what was. Caring owners and everything and more, come take a look for yourself!

Peaceful stay.
The self-catering unit has everything we needed and we had a great stay. Didn't use the nice barbeque area because it was just too cold outside and the sitting and kitchen area was also cold because the air conditioning is in the room. I would suggest that the hair dryer cord might be made longer as it is a bit short and I had to bend over. Hostess received us very kindly.

Our stay at Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages was an experience.
Spending some time in a place that is over 100 years old doesn't always happen. The units have been beautifully restored and the unit is very tidy. We stayed in Windpomp which has a lovely veranda overlooking the courtyard garden. The cottages are one block from the main street with the beautiful Swartbergpas Hotel also just around the corner.

Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages 's response
Beste Andre, ek is baie bly dat julle die verblyf by TaMala as 5-ster beleef het.
Dit maak my hart bly dat julle dit geniet het. Ek vra om verskoning dat ek nie in persoon kom draai het nie, Woensdag met julle aankoms was ek tot 17:00 in my gallery. Donderdag was ek vir die dag in Oudtshoorn en het 18:00 teruggekom by die huis.
Jy het wel die eienaar, my man Dewald, ontmoet. Ek was ook deurentyd met jou in gesprek via die foon, boodskappe asook e-posse. Ons eerste gesprek was telefonies. Ek het jou bygestaan deur julle eenheid sonder koste te verander op jou aanvraag. Verder het ek vir julle plek bespreek by 'n restaurant en dit met jou gekommunikeer, telefonies asook per SMS. Ons was ook in gesprek met julle aankoms.
Ek kon julle nie in persoon ontvang nie, want ek is daagliks in my gallery maar my assistent het julle vriendelik ontvang. Sy het ook daagliks julle eenheid gediens. Ek het in die twee dae met jou gekommunikeer i.v.m. die betaling.
As gevolg van beurtkrag elke aand was dit moeilik om kaarttransaksies te doen, maar ek het met jou gekommunikeer aangaande die alternatief. Ons het weereens die oggend gekommunikeer met SMS toe julle vertrek het. Dis teleurstellend om te sien dat jy die bogenoemde as 'n 2 uit 5 kliënte diens evalueer.
Ek hoop om volgende keer beter te doen.
Vriendelike groete, Erika.

I had a great time at Ta Mala's, I was really pleasantly surprised by the place. I appreciate that so much has been done to keep the original character of the cottage without sacrificing comfort in any way. There are all possible amenities to ensure a wonderful stay, and a few extras, such as the outdoor shower and swimming pool to cool off in.

Bad smell at front door of septic tank. Front door has no blinds and faces the street so no privacy and if you don't close the room door people can look in. As a result, the room becomes very stuffy. Pillow is either too high and hard or too flat.

Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages 's response
Beste Naomi, ek is vreeslik jammer vir jou slegte ervaring.
Baie dankie vir die voorstel dat daar 'n blinding by die voordeur moet wees. Dit is die heel eerste keer dat iemand dit as 'n probleem sien en verseker iets waarna ek sal kyk.
Wat betref die reuk by die voordeur, Prince Albert is 250 jaar oud en die dorp se riool stelsel is nog van die suig sisteem. Daar is ongelukkig niks wat ons daaraan kan doen nie. Die munisipaleit suig die riool weekliks en wanneer iemand se drein voor dit vol raak word hulle gekontak. Ongelukkig het ons geen beheer daaroor nie maar bestuur dit so goed moontlik.
Wat kussings betref, soos wat jy met reg opgemerk het is daar twee stywer kussings en twee sagter kussings. Dit is uiters moeilik om in elke persoon se individuele behoeftes te voorsien, maar ons gaan uit ons pad om verskillende opsies daar te stel. Die meeste mense is gewoonlik tevrede met een van die twee.
Ek is jammer dat ons nie in jou voorkeur kon voorsien nie.

Affordable, well equipped, unit with beautiful decor.
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived tired from the West Coast at Ta Mala's to spend the night. Full kitchen, bathroom with large shower and tub. Throughout, quality linen was used and attention was also paid to heating, although it was not necessary to use the electric blanket or air conditioning. What was impressive, however, was learning how Ta Mala's came about and seeing photos of how much effort went into the restoration. As regular travelers, we have not yet used accommodation where so much effort has been put into restoration and decor. It's lovely to stay in such a homely atmosphere, felt like we knew the owners well when we left early the next morning. Unit was painstakingly tidy and of course the undercover braai was a bonus for me.

When one travels through the breathtaking surroundings of the Black Mountains and comes under the impression of an ancient mountain pass with its stories of people who built on it, and you finally stop in Prince Albert in front of an old house that is that same antiquity breathe, do you feel small and insignificant and just want to be quiet for a few moments and reflect on the life of yesterday and the day before yesterday and today. We had the privilege of staying in the Meerkat room. It is old. And luxury. Touching. An experience you should not miss.

We didn't know the house had a thatched ceiling. My husband is very allergic to dust and this is never an option for us.

Furthermore, the owner is very nice and we have no complaints, I think for people who are not so sensitive to dust, it can work very well.

The rooms, kitchen and toilets were very neat, clean and beautiful. The only things I would ask for next time would be: 1. instant coffee- there was a little bit of coffee, but it was ground coffee, but we didn't see a machine that could use ground coffee. 2. In the bedrooms there is aircon but even with all the lights off and the curtains closed there is too much light in the room to be able to sleep properly, because of the aircon's light. If they could maybe put masking tape or something over it it would make a big difference. Otherwise it was beautiful and very nice accommodation. Thank you!

Baie dankie vir u terugvoer. Kitskoffie moet daar wees en ek vra om verskoning. Binne in die kombuiskas is 'n plunger om van die gemaalde koffie te gebruik. Die plunger was dalk net so gebêre dat dit nie duidelik sigbaar was nie. Wat betref die led liggie van die lugversorger, op die afstandbeheer is daar 'n knoppie wat hierdie irriterende liggie afskakel. Ons het melding gemaak daarvan in die brosjure wat in die eenhede beskikbaar is. Nogmaals dankie vir 'n terugvoer en ook ondersteuning, sonder dit kan ons nie die diens lewer en verbeter op foute nie.

Dear Michelle
Meerkat cottage is 250 years old. We went out of our way to preserve the charm of years ago. Meerkat is not a modern luxurious guest unit but rather a gem from the past. This information is well documented on our website, with up to date photographs. We are well aware of the fact that not everybody will appreciate Meerkat Cottage.
Check out time at all our units is 10:00. We do however, allow guests on request, to stay longer if needed. We even let our cleaning staff start their work at 09:00 during weekends to accommodate guests. All this said, we want to apologise for the fact that you did not enjoy your stay at Meerkat Cottage.
Kind regards,
Dewald and Erika

It was a blissful getaway and chance to rest in a place that is prepared with a lot of care.
I stayed in Meerkat. Everything was so neat and special, to the flowers in the bathroom. The shower outside was an experience with the moon and stars that peep at you! Everything was very practical and accessible, the bed was very comfortable, and the chairs under the bower were used a lot! Wish I could have used the braai or fireplace, but the weekend was just too short. Thank you very much that I was able to stay there - a privilege to sleep in a tastefully decorated place with a lot of history.

Wonderful, cozy, old world charm!
We stayed in Meerkat (Oct. 2016). Perfect little cottage, even with ancient furniture, candles, lamps, musquitoe-net, coal stove, large bath and outdoor shower. Has everything you need to find peace for your soul (remember to bring a good book and some bubble bath!). Ta Mala's team went out of their way to make our wedding anniversery very special: huge bouquet of flowers and sparkling wine in the fridge completed the romantic, old-world atmofphere in the little house.

Quiet, clean, comfortable and safe.
The house has been very nicely restored with special pieces that give it a very cozy feeling. Everything was neat, clean and comfortable. The cozy dressing gown was a bonus. It's centrally located and walking distance from town, but you also don't have all the hustle and bustle on your doorstep, which makes it nice and quiet for an afternoon nap. Excellent stay, would definitely recommend.

Lovely!
What a lovely surprise to walk into Ta Mala with picture perfect decor. Windpomp is a lovely holiday home and fully furnished. We just found that Meerkat is not fully equipped for self-care. The outdoor shower is a big treat, but definitely only in summer, unless you're brave enough to brave it in winter. Congratulations and thanks to Erica and family!
