About this place
Dick , Regina and Carmen Billiet welcome and cordially invite you to their historic Victorian/Karoo Guesthouse dating back to circa 1853.
We are centrally situated in the historic heart of the delightful village of Prince Albert, Western Cape, South Africa within walking distance to all the restaurants, art galleries, antique shops and places of interest.
Although we are in the centre of town a rural atmosphere persists.
On our south boundary, a vineyard of repute makes a prize winning desert wine "Soet Karoo".
Our neighbour to the north has planted an olive grove of 500 trees.
Our accommodation consists of five luxury air-conditioned garden bed rooms with en-suite bathrooms and spectacular views of the Swartberg Mountains.

About Prince Albert
Prince Albert is a hidden gem of the Great Karoo, a perfectly preserved Victorian village at the foot of the Swartberg Pass. Known for its starlit skies, excellent restaurants, and thriving arts community, this tranquil town offers farm stays, hiking, and the spectacular Swartberg Pass to Oudtshoorn. Local produce includes olives, dried fruit, and Karoo lamb, while the village atmosphere invites long, lazy stays.
