Our Beautiful Town
60 De Beer St, Prince Albert, 6930, South Africa
Prince Albert Cottage is on De Beer Street, home to other well loved and looked after historical Cape Dutch houses. The town has an eclectic mix of Victorian, Cape Dutch and typical old Karoo style architecture.
Prince Albert is affectionately known as “the jewel of the Karoo” and for good reason! Church Street, the main street, is just a five-minute walk up Deurdrift Street. There you'll find art galleries, eateries, pubs, and quaint shops.
There's something for everyone in Prince Albert, and at the heart of it all, the knowledge that you are quite isolated, yet secure, is a lovely feeling and a rare one in this day and age.
