"We stayed at the Olive Thrush with our two children for 3 nights in June. What a beautifully appointed cottage which had everything we needed and more. We all enjoyed the beautiful garden with the small lake and watching the weavers and swallows in action. Our highlight was picking and eating oranges in the small orchard. Our hosts, Peter and Marguerite were away during our stay but could not have made us feel more welcome. Peter phoned a few times during our stay to check that were comfortable. Their caretaker and grounds keeper were helpful and ensured we had everything we needed. The home baked rusks, milk, butter and eggs were also a treat. As were the electric blankets, hot water bottles and cozy fireplace to keep us warm in winter. Thank you again Peter and Marguerite. We hope to come back one day soon."

"We stayed at the Olive Thrush for two nights and were enchanted. The setting by a dam with boats to use, as well as the very comfortable furnishings and finishes made our stay very special. The Olive Thrush is a five minute stroll to town and being situated at the edge of Prince Albert also allows for easy access to biking and walking in the Karoo countryside. Paul and Margeritue are lovely hosts. Can recommend to anyone."
