• "One lovely night"

  04 January 2021

  "On our way back from the Garden Route we decided to travel through some of the beautiful passes in the Karoo and to stay in Prince Albert for a night. Brakdakkie Guest Cottages are simply delightful, making full use of ancient farm buildings and turning them into a fascinating private spaces. The thick walls of the old building maintained a cool interior while the little splash pool outside allowed us to really cool off in the summer heat! We had everything we needed to enjoy our evening and we would have stayed another night, if it had been available. This is definitely worth a visit and highly recommended."

  11 July 2017

  "We had another wonderful stay at Brakdakkies! Our children enjoyed visiting the ducks and playing in the old car, while we drank port on the stoep. Our cottage was clean and very well-equipped, with good quality linen and kitchen utensils, and we were very snug despite the chilly karoo night. It's great to stay in a place where so much care has been put into appearances."

• "Lovely stay"

  07 February 2016

  "Really nice cottage on a large plot in a quiet part of town but just a few minutes from everything. It is equipped with all you need for a self catering stay and has a small plunge pool which comes in very handy on those hot Prince Albert days. Would definitely stay again and recommend.<br />"

• "The Old World"

  "How wonderful to stay in a cottage more than 150 years old! If this cottage could speak I am quite sure it will be a best seller in book form! Clean crisp sheets and very friendly owners. Really enjoyed the old world."

• "Lovely Overnight Stay"

  16 April 2014

  "We really enjoyed staying at these lovely cottages, especially the carefully considered decor and clean white spaces. It worked well for an overnight stop-over. The farm-like setting is very pretty and welcoming. The plunge pool is a nice touch. We will be back! It looks and feels like a lot of care and effort have gone into setting the cottages up."

• "Lovely experience"

  10 December 2013

  "Lovely "different" experience, especially if you like antiques. TV would have been nice as nights could be boring if you are traveling with kids. Was looking forward to soaking in the splash pool but still a bit chilly. Kids took lovely photos with all the interesting "prop", had an enjoyable stay, nice to walk into a clean place!"

• "Lekker gebly"

  22 November 2013

  "Dit was die mees onverwagte lekkerte. Die huisies is kunstig en pragtig en die beker vars melk in die yskas 'n bonus. Ons sal defnitief weer gaan."

• "Winter in the Karoo"

  17 August 2013

  "We only stayed one night at Brakdakkie. It was very cold at the time with a thin drizzle. I think the cottage would be far more pleasant in warmer weather."

• "Charming"

  12 August 2013

  "It is a charming beautifully done room with lovely facilities. It was just damn cold!! Pity there was no fire place in the room. The hot water bottles were a great touch, definitely will come back in the summer."

• "Should have stayed longer"

  11 April 2011

  "A great place to stay. Perfectly appointed room, friendly people and a collection of bric-brac that made us salivate. Proof that the old is perfectly new with the right arrangement. Reflects the nature of Prince Albert - history with a lot to offer the traveller. Warrants more than an overnight stay, I'd say three days at least."
