    Nothing at all!

    Howard met us upon arrival to hand over the keys and walk us through our cottages. The cottages are very comfortable, spacious and very well appointed; perfect for self-catering. The property has beautiful views over Prince Albert and is a short drive away for the main road and restaurants. This wasn't our first stay at the Karoo View Cottages and it won't be the last!

    A little noisy throughout the night that was disappointing, sounded like a generator somewhere . Perimeter fence is not yet covered by growing plants and is very visible at close proximity with a fairly busy road right on boundary. A little too far from town for older folk to walk.

    Beautiful rooms with thought to detail. Perfect for winter or summer - outdoor patio and braai facilities, swimming pool, fabulous star-gazing hot pool, inside fire for fabulous winter evenings. Kitchen well kitted out Fabulous!

    Howard is a wonderful host. We traveled by motorbike and when we arrived he gave us one of his vehicles to drive around town. He made us feel welcome and his cooking is absolutely magnificent. Wish we could have stayed longer

    It was hard to find fault with this property. It was well equipped, I couldnt find a kettle, but other than that there was nothing to dislike.

    What a lovely place! The room was superb, the staff very friendly and a great location and view. All for a resonable price given the quality of the property.

    The view and the fact that we had enough privacy in front of our cottage. The pool and the fact that we could bring our dog, was the main reasons that we booked at Karoo View Cottages

    This was an exceptionally well equipped property. We enjoyed the large room, with plenty of space to move around. It was lovely to have breakfast on our outdoor space. We were very happy that our breakfast supplies (and port) were generously topped up every day by Greg. The bathroom had a great shower and the large bed was very comfortable. It was a great stay. We got a good tip of where to dine and loved it. Prince Albert itself is a beautiful small town with great places to eat and plenty of interest both historically and pottering around the gallery and shops.
