AMY’S offers everything one would expect from traditional Karoo hospitality and comfort. Specially designed to cater for 6 guests, AMY’S offers home-from-home comforts in spacious open-plan living, and large, over-sized rooms. In typical Victorian-style architecture, the ceilings are high: the corridors wide. The décor is an interesting mix of new, antiques and customised furniture, and the lovely sash windows frame beautiful views. 

Enjoy the freedom of space, the peace, and the tranquillity. And, because AMY’S is let as a unit, enjoy her all to yourself!

AMY’S is exceptionally well-equipped, thus ideal for lengthy stays. There is a television and electrical appliances comprise a 4-plate stove with warmer; microwave; fridge-freezer; dishwasher and washing machine. The holiday chef will find a Kenwood Chef mixer with liquidiser and juice-extractor attachments; an electric hand beater to whip up a quick omelette; an electric frying pan for one-pot cooking; and an electric carving knife to do justice to the Sunday roast!

It has been our experience that guests, choosing the self-catering option, wish to do just that – self cater. Breakfast provisions of fruit/juice, muesli and cereal, rusks, tea, coffee, milk and sugar are provided for the convenience of guests.

Leading off the kitchen is a separate scullery/laundry. In the broom cupboard will be found a vacuum cleaner; broom; ironing board and iron; as well as a fire extinguisher (just in case the oil boils over!). However, should you wish to have AMY’S serviced during your stay, please request this at the time of booking. A laundry service, for the convenience of guests, is provided during weekdays.

AMY’S bathrooms are spacious: main-en-suite has an Edwardian-style bath and shower; the other a shower. The bath sheets are white, thick and fluffy; and toiletries, plus a hair-drier are provided for the convenience of guests. White cotton bathrobes are available upon request (at the time of booking).

The full-length patio, with its magnificent views of the Swartberg Mountain Range, is perfect for el fresco dining. Early risers will enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the sun peeping over the mountain tops, spreading her warm glow across the sky.

Unique to AMY’S is her backyard – in fact acres of backyard! Soak up the ambience of the Karoo in this perfect setting for a traditional South African braai.

Spectacular is the only word that adequately describes the 360 degree views from the thatched gazebo: an amazing panorama stretching from the majestic Swartberg Mountains to the Karoo Plains. This is a lovely vantage point from which to enjoy the delightful vista of the Prince Albert houses, so beautifully preserved, and the stunning church steeple proudly rising above. Seating is provided at the gazebo for guests wishing to tarry awhile, enjoying moments of quiet reflection (or simply sipping sundowners while marvelling at the spectacular sunset).

The village is within walking distance and it is quite safe to wander down to a restaurant or around the village in the evenings. Prince Albert holds several festivals: the Olive Food and Wine Festival in April, the Oktoberfest in October and the Harvest Festival in November.
