Cactus Blue Cottages

Description

Prince Albert is a delightful gem of a village in the Karoo, and the gateway to the spectacular Swartberg Pass, a National Monument and part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, designated as a World Heritage Site. It is also the nearest village to a fascinating valley called ‘Die Hel’ where a small proud community lived in simple isolation for more than 100 years until 1964.

This picturesque and tranquil village nestles at the foot of the magnificent Swartberg Mountain range. The cottages are situated in the heart of the village and are within a few minutes walk of a dozen restaurants.

If you need to unwind, this is the place …
Simple and restful living in an informal tranquil oasis.Recently refurbished and landscaped, Cactus Blue is designed to accommodate three couples or a small family with older children, in two separate cottages, overlooking the smallest registered vineyard in the country.

The garden is private, planted with indigenous plants, succulents and trees with a stargazing pool to cool off in, or scour the spectacular night skies.

There are three spacious en-suite bedrooms. The master bedroom in the main cottage opens, through French doors, onto a shared terrace with the other double room with two single beds. It is also connected to the study and main open plan living area. The separate self-contained cottage opens onto the garden and swimming pool. There are fans in all rooms but we generally sleep with the doors open in the summer.

The simple kitchen is open-plan to the spacious double volume dining area and living room. Large industrial windows and doors lead out to the bamboo covered verandah, water feature, day bed, garden and pool. Perfect barefoot living ...
