LUXURIOUS 4 STAR SELF CATERING ACCOMMODATION

JULIE & RICHARD would like to welcome you, your family 

and friends to their

KAROO VIEW COTTAGES.

Luxurious 4 star self catering accommodation

In the heart of the Karoo, Prince Albert , Western Cape .

Our 4 cottages are uniquely positioned on an elevated koppie

With magnificent views of the village and Swartberg Pass ,

350m off the main street and only 4.5 hours from Cape Town .

 Relax and unwind after your travels, with a sun downer on your private stoep or our boma overlooking the village, whilst watching the moon rising over the Swartberg, and relishing in the peace and tranquillity that surrounds you as the night sky draws your eye to the heavens as the sun sets.

 Wake up and enjoy your provided health breakfast provisions on your stoep, shared with Familiar Chats, Cape Buntings and various sunbirds, as well as being in the enviable position to watch the sun rising up over the Swartberg whilst listening for the call of owls before dawn.

GUEST REVIEWS FOR KAROO VIEW COTTAGES

NOVEMBER 2011

World class venue, with great attention to meeting and exceeding all guest expectations! The accommodation was the best we’ve experienced at any guest house in SA, UK and Ireland . Every possible requirement that we could have thought of was catered for, including a sumptuous braai basket, freshly baked bread, a lovely well stocked braai lapa, etc – even complimentary antacid tablets in the bathroom! Richard booked us in personally and supplied all relevant information for visiting Prince Albert and surrounds.

ANDRE PARKER

19TH – 20TH DECEMBER 2010:

Dear Richard and Julie, what an exceptional start to our honeymoon this place was! We will forever remember it and will dream of coming back one day. We will definitely recommend to our family and friends. May the Lord bless you richly. Many thanks.

LOUWRENS & RITA – NEWLY WEDS – PRETORIA & RUSSIA

27TH – 29TH DECEMBER 2010:

This being our first visit to Prince Albert , will be remembered with very fond thoughts. After staying in many B & B’s in SA and abroad, we’ve been astounded by the comfort, attention to detail and the superb views offered by Karoo View Cottages. We enjoyed our dips in the ‘wee pool’ and braais in the boma, despite the wind. We especially enjoyed a delicious hand –picked salad from the tunnel. The breakfasts exactly as required! We will definitely recommend your place to all our friends.

Guys, I am speechless. We had a great time and will definitely return for a longer stay. It is going to be difficult to have this type of standard through the rest of our trip. Finally, I know just what to say, let me sum it up in 2 words: ‘WORLD CLASS’. Thanks again.

Souls dry-cleaned and batteries re-charged. We have had a wonderful time in your lovely, comfortable and very well appointed guest cottages. Thank you for your kind and generous hospitality!
