Mai's Guest Lodge ~ lots to do 

After breakfast, Mai's Guest Lodge offers space to simply laze the day away, or you might want to venture forth on a walk around the village. Mai can also recommend day drives with spectacular scenery.

Relax beside the sparkling swimming pool

The sun shines nearly every day of the year and even in winter you might enjoy a dip in the sparkling pool in its sheltered courtyard. 

Watch the world go by from the front stoep

You can watch the world go by from the front verandah, or the cosy lounge. Wi-Fi is available.

Mai's cosy lounge

Prince Albert has a multitude of delights to entertain you and they are all within walking distance!

Massage treatments, reiki, facials and pedicures are available. 

Local and world acclaimed artists exhibit their work at the Art Gallery. The Fransie Pienaar Museum is recognised as one of the best local museums in the country.  Their indigenous gardens include one dedicated to medicinal plants. 

There are interesting little shops to explore along the length of Kerkstraat. At Karoo Looms you can watch mohair rugs and cotton runners being woven.

Seven Arches, home to the Prince Albert Gallery

In the evenings the Story Weaver, Ailsa Tudhope, entertains visitors as she relates tales about local characters and ghosts on her Ghost Walk, or tells stories over a pre-dinner drink.

Once it is dark Astrotours can provide a fascinating glimpse into the crystal clear night skies.

A lighthearted walk with the ghosts of Prince Albert

Gay's Dairy produces prize-winning cheese

The SoetKaroo cellar is across the road from Mai's - here you can taste dessert wines from one of the smallest wine estates in the country. 

A visit to Gay's Dairy is a must. The team produce cheeses that have won awards in South Africa and abroad. 

The local Olive farms and fig farms welcome visitors and there are hiking trails and 4x4 drives for guests who favour adventure activities. The Swartberg Mountains and the world famous Swartberg Pass lie to the South of the village.

Mai can advise you on day trips to explore the district. She can also recommend coffee shops for teas and light lunches. 

Enjoy dinner at one of the local restaurants where you can sample authentic Karoo fare after experiencing one of our magnificent sunsets....
