The Artist’s Cottage was built ca.100 years ago in the
labourers’ flat-roofed style with original mouldings around
entrance door and windows.
Prince Albert nestles at the foot of the majestic Swartberg Mountains
the 2nd highest range in South Africa and a World Heritage Site
on the edge of the Great Karoo.
We have received a TGCSA 4 star grading and we have obtained it
for the 3rd consecutive year.
