The amount I had to pay for international payment to Booking.com. Nothing to do with Accommodation. Tip. Advertise under Lekkeslaap to help South Africans.

The fireplace in the living room. Gas heater in bedroom. Spacious. Dam in front of accommodation with koi. Everything.

The room has 3 beds, but I would recommend for couples only or couples with very small children.

Olive Thrush Cottage is on the edge of town which makes it very quiet en relaxed with a farm-like feel. The gas heater and fireplace came in handy on the cold winter evenings of our stay.

Stayed in August 2025

Quiet, very clean and orderly, everything worked well, multiple methods of heating available, close to main road and shops/restaurants, complimentary beverages and firewood.

It was well located and spacious. It had a very nice wood fire in the living room.

This was my third stay in Prince Albert and by far the best. The stylish cottage is several blocks to the East off the town's main drag, Church Street, so is very quiet and secluded. The restaurants, shops and hotels are within walking distance, and the Spar/Tops is a 3-4 minute drive away. The very handsome, well-appointed accomodation has tall ceilings, both an indoor and out door shower, two enclosed courtyards, one with a hammock, and is part of a larger spacious, enclosed, tree-shaded complex, complete with a small pond and rowboat. An electric gate provides security for car and person. Olive Thrush Cottage is my go-to place in Prince Albert now. Be sure to try lunch at O for Olive Farm!

The place is lovely inside. Clean and neat. Nice and private. Everything you need. Really loved the Nespresso coffee machine, the coffee pods and the fresh rusks provided (tasted really great). Wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Riaan for accomodating us when we were later than planned for our check in.

Loved how spacious the flat was and the attention to detail (fresh milk and a BIG bottle of water in the fridge, coffee and rusks on the counter). Very comfortable bed!

A lovely comfortable self contained cottage near the centre of town

Stayed in February 2025

We were staying for 4 nights and we don’t always like eating out so we had brought quite a bit of food with us. Unfortunately the fridge was just too small. We battled to keep the fresh things cool and ice packs frozen and no space for ice which we desperately needed in the terrible heat. A few more shelves for our own food would have been nice.

The cottage had everything we needed, scrumptious rusks, milk and lots of tea and coffee, even an espresso machine with capsules, wood and charcoal plus firefighters, lovely fresh roses in vases, mosquito net over an enormous bed, fan, air conditioner also an outdoor private shower. Lovely indoor shower with lots of towels etc. The cooking utensils were good quality and good washing up soap. Thanks for the insect spray, we didn’t enjoy the chirping of crickets and for the fly swatter. The setting of the cottage is very good, near the centre but not on the main road. The general garden and private garden really peaceful and relaxing. There was also safe, shady parking for the car. I enjoyed the evening display by the bats. There was lots of information on Prince Albert and maps to find our way around. Thank you

Charming and stylish interior. Outdoor shower is a fabulous touch, and also loved the courtyard covered with trees.

Location was perfect in that we felt as though we were in the country, with bird calls and the distant church clock chiming, but without the noise of people or traffic. The furnishings and deco was tasteful with comfortable seating in an outside courtyard and in several spots inside.

There was nothing to not like!

From our arrival and greeting by both Ethan and Riaan we were made to feel welcomed and at home. All questions / concerns were dealt with professionally, and you always had a sense that any issue or concern that you might have had would be dealt with promptly. The communication and hosting were excellent, and the place itself was top class. Will definitely book there is future.

Only one access key, despite two adults being here - i guess I didnt ask for another, which may have helped though. Self catering but no oven - just a hot plate but as it rained our cooking options a bit limited.

Well located and comfortable. Opposite the bush pub which made for a fun evening out.

Stayed in April 2024

Amazing accommodation down a quiet road. Very peaceful surroundings. The unit unit is much larger than expected and equipped with everything you need. Loved the peaceful outside braai area Will definitely be back

There is nothing not to like about this property.

Abundance - This property is a dream come true. Super Luxury in the Karoo. Absolutely everything you could want from a 5 star establishment with the added extra of self catering. The excellence of everything, and more of it. The art, the comfy bedding, the plush towels. There is no TV, so you can take in the awesomeness of relaxation. Thank you for the abundance of wood and firelighters and charcoal. Will definitely come back here.
