Great welcome, cosy very comfortable stay, great time in historic Prince Albert.

It was such a pleasant surprise when Jenny came around to welcome us. She explained everything we needed to know to make our stay comfortable and was eager to share what is available and places we should visit in Prince Albert. The house was more than we needed; we loved the wood burner as it turned out to be quite chilly, so the electric blankets were a huge blessing! When the weather changed, we braaied and spent time on the stoep - such a lovely setting. Staying in one of the original old Karoo houses was really very special. It's a great home for a family retreat. We'll be back.

Thank you for your review, Vera. The Karoo Prinia is a very special old lady, and we are so glad you both enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you back here sometime.

Ons kuier was baie lekker.

Ons het baie lekker gekuier. Die ontvangs deur die gasvrou was voorwaar 'n riem onder die hart. Die uitsig soggens is asemrowend en die outentieke styl is beslis uit die boonste rakke. Dit vul die geskiedkundigheid van die gebou baie goed aan.

Our visit was very nice.

We had a great time. The reception by the hostess was truly a belt under the heart. The view in the morning is breathtaking and the authentic style is definitely top notch. It complements the historicity of the building very well.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Enigste probleem was die trappe by die voorstoep - dit is baie hoog vir ou knieë.

Ons sal Karoo Prinia definitief aanbeveel.

Baie lekker gebly by Karoo Prinia. Alles wat ons nodig gehad het, was beskikbaar. In die winter is die elektriese komberse en kaggel baie lekker. Die stoep is ook 'n heerlike kuierplek. Jenny het heeltyd met ons gekommunikeer en alles was perfek met ons aankoms.

'n Heerlike paar dae! So 'n pragtige dorpie, lieflik gerestoureede huis en baie aangename, hulpvaardige eienaars.

Ons was vier volwassenes en die huis het ons wonderlik gepas. Selfs met die baie beurtkrag het ons geen probleem gehad nie, want die eienaars het goed voorsiening gemaak.

A wonderful few days! Such a beautiful village, lovely restored house and very pleasant, helpful owners.

We were four adults and the house suited us wonderfully. Even with the heavy load shedding we had no problem because the owners provided well.

Wat 'n verrassing was die dorpie en blyplek nie! Pragtig en vol geskiedenis! Ook omgewing!

Ons het in die aande 'n TV so bietjie gemis, maar daar is genoeg leesstof en speletjies beskikbaar. Ook lekker dat daar voorsiening gemaak is vir beurtkrag. Ou geskiedkundige huisie is so mooi herstel dat dit glad nie afbreuk doen aan die voorkoms en karakter nie.

We missed a TV a bit in the evenings, but there is enough reading material and games available. Also nice that provision has been made for load shedding. Old historic cottage has been so beautifully restored that it does not detract from the appearance and character at all.

Baie lekker gebly!

Daai stoep en kaggel is fantasties! Atmosfeer is rustig, lekker privaat. Maak net seker die eienaar verduidelik jou hoe die songeyser werk. Aand warm, oggend koud. En daar is ook nie elektriese komberse soos in die beskrywing nie (maar oorgenoeg warm komberse vir die koue). Over all vrek lekker gebly!

Very nice stay!

That porch and fireplace are fantastic! Atmosphere is peaceful, nice and private. Just make sure the owner explains to you how the solar geyser works. Evening hot, morning cold. And there are also no electric blankets as in the description (but plenty of warm blankets for the cold). Over all had a great stay!

Jenny is 'n wonderlike gasvrou. Alles was skoon en netjies. Die beskutte sonstoep is fantasties. Die stofie en elektriese komberse was 'n wenner! Die eiendom is veilig omhein en dierevriendelik. Baie lekker gekuier, stil omgewing en teen die koppie. Sal beslis weer besoek!

Peaceful weekend on the stoep, exactly what we were looking for!

Charming and traditional old cottage surrounded by Spekboom, just what the doctor ordered for a quiet family weekend away. Great showers, firm beds, wifi and a gas oven/hob - all a plus. In walking distance to almost everything in Prince Albert. The furniture is old, which suits the age of the building, so don't expect modern and new, enjoy true Prince Albert heritage. The stoep is the best part, we spent hours with our feet up, reading and relaxing.

Netjies en skoon, goed ingerig. Bied 'n goeie uitsig oor die Swartberge en wonderlikke sonopkoms.

Die huis het n lekker kuier-stoep wat sorg vir gesellige kuier-aande. As ek iets kon verbeter sou dit die braaigeriewe wees.
