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. Please

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. |
|
You
can watch the world go by from the front verandah, or the cosy lounge. |

|
Prince
Albert has a multitude of delights to entertain you:
|
 |
Massage
treatments, reiki and facials are available. Local and world acclaimed artists exhibit their
work at the Art Gallery. Next door you'll find the 1918 cinema, housing Kevin's scrap metal
sculptures, like the one in Mai's front garden. |

|
|
The
True Karoo Gallery Shop is a
treasure trove of local crafts and collectables just five minutes from
Mai's Guest Lodge. |
|
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. |

|
|
The
Fransie Pienaar Museum is recognised as one of the best local museums in
the country. At Wolskuur Weavery you can watch mohair rugs and
cotton runners being woven. The SoetKaroo cellar is across the road from
Mai's - here you can taste dessert wines from the second smallest registered
wine estate 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 Farm 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 behind 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.
