And, because Amy's Place is let as a unit, enjoy her all to yourself!

Hosts Laurie and Marlene welcome you to the peace and tranquillity of this very special self-catering accommodation just 1 km from the heart of Prince Albert.

Accommodation


The sleeping accommodation at Amy's Place comprises 3 air-conditioned double bedrooms of generous proportions - main-en-suite: 2 x extra-length single beds; adjoining room: 2 x single beds; guest room: 1 x double bed. A wardrobe, dressing table and seating is provided in all the bedrooms. The linen is white cotton percale.

Amy's Place 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.

Facilities


Amy's Place is exceptionally well-equipped, thus ideal for lengthy stays. 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!

Leading off the kitchen is a separate scullery/laundry. In the broom cupboard will be found a vacuum cleaner; ironing board and iron; as well as a fire extinguisher (just in case the oil boils over!). Amy's Place is serviced on request, and a laundry service is provided.

Unique to Amy's Place 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.

Attractions & Activities


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 sunsets).

Our guests love a stroll of our unique 8 acre indigenous garden, much of which has been left natural. Many plants have been labelled for the added enjoyment of garden enthusiasts: and artists and photographers will find much of interest to capture in their field.
