Onse Rus Guest House is a highly recommended Prince Albert Bed & Breakfast providing accommodation in 5 guest rooms for tourists visiting the Karoo region.

About Onse Rus Guest House

Nestled at the foot of the majestic Swartberg Mountains, is the quiet and serene village of Prince Albert, here, time is suspended in the dry crisp Karoo air. Be captivated by the vast open spaces and a night sky filled with an endless amount of stars.

With its thatch roof and wooden floors, Onse Rus has the character and comfort of an old farmhouse. You will immediately feel at home as you slow down to the relaxed pace of country life and take time to experience simple beauty.

Enjoy the odd shaped rooms and garden the cool and inviting lounge leading onto a large shaded garden with swimming pool and bedrooms with french doors and shutters opening onto the garden. In summer you might choose to sit in the gazebo next to the swimming pool or in winter the guest lounge with fireplace which doubles as an art gallery.

Accommodation

Each of the five air conditioned guest rooms has its own special character with en-suite bathrooms. After breathing the fresh country air, you'll sleep soundly in the comfortable beds with crisp percale linen.

Meals

Breakfast is served in the garden under the trees in summer weather permitting and in winter in the main guest lounge with fire place. The generous Onse Rus farmhouse breakfast is a real treat: homemade muesli, fresh farm dairy products, fruit juice, bacon and eggs with mouth-watering local preserves and just wait until you taste the cream!

We are fully licensed. Dinner is served upon request with a minimum of four guests booking. You might fancy a simple omelette or a three course Karoo dinner. If you prefer to eat out, we can recommend a number of excellent restaurants all within walking distance from the guesthouse.

Loadshedding Facilities

What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.
