An amazing oasis. Peaceful stay. Helpful staff. We stayed in a standard chalet which was absolutely fine for us. There are some premium chalets too. Lots of wildlife to see. Very welcome pool and boma. We only stayed one night but would have liked to stay longer and take advantage of the onsite and nearby activities. If you want one of their braai packs on your first or only evening make sure to call ahead the day before. Thanks for having us.

Occasionally whilst on your travels you stumble upon somewhere you really feel at home ... this is how it was when we stayed at 88 Baron van Reede.
The accommodation was just perfect, comfortable and relaxing. Huw and Zoe, gave us a very warm welcome and spent quite some time, advising on local attractions and restaraunts to visit, even providing discount vouchers for some of them!
Zoe's assortment of home made cakes, pastries and jams, were also a lovely touch, and the breakfast selection...

Jude was an extremely helpful and friendly host, and she even organised reservations at local restaurants and provided many great recommendations for our 2 night stay. Very comfortable and clean rooms and well located on the main street within walking distance of many local shops and restaurants. Thank you

We had a lovely stay. The Location was amazing and the attention to detail within the property was on point. We had a nice meal in evening with some amazing Wagyu steak, which was amazing. Breakfast also didn’t disappoint. Will definitely stay again!

From the welcome we received to the farewell the level of personal service we received from the owners Albert and Elsa were unparalleled.
Very tastefully decorated, spotless and in a beautiful location overlooking the river. We only stayed one night but will definitely return and stay longer. Loved our stay.

A gem of a guesthouse. All the staff were so lovely, helpful, cheerful and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room and bathroom were both spacious, spotless and felt luxurious. Breakfast was fantastic, delicious and generous. Thank you to everyone

It's very quiet, very calm and very well appointed. I had a luxurious chalet with a mini kitchen and fast internet. Do bring food with you as there's not a restaurant at the hotel and you'll have to go back into Carnarvon to eat otherwise - where options are limited. Bring cat treats too if you want to be popular with the feline greeters
The host is very welcoming and you'll enjoy seeing the ostriches on this working farm

We had an unexpected stayover in the lovely village of Prince Albert and checked in at this quaint, old world establishment. Our hosts were very welcoming and even provided a carafe of sherry and chocolates to ward off the cold. The beds were comfortable and the antique furnishings a lovely touch. The beautiful quiet garden is a wonderful place to while away the time.

Amazing location if you wish to disconnect from the city life. You’ll have to drive about 12km on a gravel road after you go through the main gate (this is where google map stops). I recommend a car with good ground clearance (Toyota cross worked great for me).
The night sky is very clear if you’re a stargazer and the SALT Telescope is about 45 mins drive.
The food is great and the cottages are clean and tidy.
They also have safari trips since this is a private game reserve.
It gets pretty...

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Plume. The room was immaculate, spacious and had an outside sitting area. The rooms and dining room offer an old-worldly elegance. The food was delicious and the staff exceptional.
