"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"

(South Africa) Denise O'Hearns

"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.

"The Old World"

"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"

(South Africa) Ria Saunders

"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."


"Beautiful and peaceful"

(South Africa) Anscha Zietsman

"We appreciated the attention to detail in the decor of this cottage and also in the little extras provided (milk, juice etc). Would like to return someday."


"Winter in the Karoo"

(South Africa) Janet Burns

"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"

(South Africa) Charmaine van der Ploeg

"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

"Should have stayed longer"

(South Africa) Riaan Joubert

"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."


"Good stay"

(South Africa) Shelly

"We had a very nice welcoming. The people were friendly. The place was well located. I liked the unique old style of accessories and utensils. The decor, however, was lovely and modern. The room was comfortable. It was spotlessly clean. Peaceful and quiet. We had a fairly good stay. "


"Unique stay"

(South Africa) anonymous

"The thing I really liked most about the place is the well landscaping. It fits in with the town if I can say that. A Karoo type of style. The brick work to the layout of the furniture and decor was luxurious. The price was reasonable. The environment was peaceful. The people were lovely and friendly..."

"Met die inloopslag in die vertrek in het ek 'n gevoel van netheid en absolute kliniese skoon en vars gevoel gekry. Alles was perfek op sy plek. Wat veral besonders was is die oudhede wat gebruik was in elke fasset van die dekor. Nog nooit sulke interessante oudhede gesien waarvoor daar vir elkeen 'n doel was nie. Die gastehuis was toegerus met alles wat mens nodig sou kon kry. Interessante en pragtige omgewing. Voorwaar 'n hoogtepunt in ons reis.

(RoomsForAfrica translated)
With the walkin into the room I had a feeling of cleanliness and absolute clinical clean and fresh feeling. Everything was perfectly in its place. What was especially remarkable was the antiquities that were used in every facet of the decor. Never seen such interesting relics which had a purpose for everything. The guest house was equipped with everything one would need could get. Interesting and beautiful environment. Truly a highlight of our trip."

"Our stay was an overnight stay and the accommodation suited this purpose. The cottage was clean and fresh with interesting decor. Bed linen and towels freshly laundered.
The kitchen area is adequate for very basic food preparation as there is a hot plate and a bar fridge provided. We used a local restaurant for our main meal. Cereals, coffee, tea, jug of milk and juice are provided. The accommodation is in the town and is within easy walking distance of local points of interest.
