Mai's Guest Lodge

 
 

Description

Mai’s Guest Lodge lends itself to relaxing: take a dip in the sparkling pool in its sheltered courtyard, laze on the front verandah or in the cosy lounge. Massage treatments, Reiki, facials, manicures and pedicures are available in the village.

Prince Albert offers art galleries, craft shops, star-watching with an astronomer, a ghost walk, a local story-teller, a fascinating village Museum, a wide range of architectural styles including examples of a local gable, two wine cellars, farm visits, 4x4 and hiking trails and day trips into the Swartberg Pass, to Oudtshoorn and the Karoo National Park. The Swartberg Mountains are a World Heritage site. Mai can recommend coffee shops and restaurants for teas, light lunches and dinners.

Prince Albert is 400 km from Cape Town and 200 km from the nearest airport in George. Nestling against the Swartberg Mountains, it grew from a farm: Kweekvallei, established in 1762 on the banks of a river whose source is sparkling springs in the Swartberg Mountains. The life-giving water was used to good effect to create an oasis in the otherwise dry Great Karoo. It still runs through the streets in bubbling furrows, nurturing fragrant gardens and adding a gentle murmur to the tranquil streets.

Your hostess, Mai, offer the very best of Irish hospitality and accommodation in Prince Albert. Cead mile failte, a hundred thousand welcomes.
