Overall a pleasant stay With it being a self-catering unit, it would have been nice to have a few basic amenities, such as salt/pepper and some oil for cooking. A casserole for braai would also be nice. The complimentary cereal/rusks is hardly enough for 2 people, and we were 4. So we were necessitated to go out for breakfast although we planned not to. Something more than one ply toilet paper and decent dishwashing liquid would have been expected with the name of the establishment including 'Masterclass'

Karoo View Cottages are absolutely fabulous. The owner was wonderfully friendly and helpful. Our cottage was luxurious, immaculate and tastefully furnished. What a beautiful view. We will be back!

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 sumptuous braai basket, freshley 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.

An oasis in the desert! We count ourselves fortunate to have been here during the rare rainfall. The air smelt sweet and the plants were a brighter green when the sun shone. Thank you for your hospitality and the gem you have created here. Katina and Verne

We had such a wonderful time. Mountain biking is amazing in this area, especially to Die Hel and back, if anyone is up to the challenge. Attention to detail at Karoo View is such a pleasure and a spoil. Thanks to the lovely hosts, Julie and Richard. Gene & Keith Scott

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, wev'e 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 definately recommend our place to all our friends.

The impression on entering your beautiful suite is the love with which it was created. Love is not always enough and the immense amount of hard work and attention to detail is everywhere apparent. This treasure is surely the closest that one can get to heaven whilst on earth. We loved the peace and quiet and awesome views of the mountain and the town. One night is not enough be sure we will be back again soon! Love and congratulations and best wishes for continued excellence. Geoff & Marlene

Thanks for a wonderful stay. Only regret is that we could not stay for another night and enjoy sitting on the stoep with the wonderful view. Everything you could ever wish for and more. An example to anybody else in the hospitality industry. Richard and Hanika
