Karoo View Cottages \ Accommodation in Prince Albert

Julie and 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 four 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’s 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.

The name ‘Karoo View’ says it all. A true Karoo destination ... which we don’t want to keep to ourselves as we want to share with you our dream which we live each day!
