Spacious Cottage Rooms

The Olive Thrush Cottage offers a single, large cottage with a four-poster bed, extra-length king-size and single beds, air conditioning, a fan, and mosquito nets. The living area has an open-plan layout with a fully equipped kitchen (Nespresso machine included), a dining area, and a fireplace. Both indoor and outdoor showers are available, and the bathroom has good water pressure and plenty of towels. The cottage is clean, neat, and furnished with period and eclectic furniture.

Self-Catering & BBQ

The cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge, stove, and good-quality cooking utensils. Guests can use the private outdoor braai (BBQ) area with wood and charcoal provided. An espresso machine with capsules, tea, coffee, and fresh rusks are supplied. The fridge is small-suited for short stays-but the kitchen has all basics for self-catering.

Outdoor Leisure Areas

The property includes a garden with a small pond and rowboat, two enclosed courtyards (one with a hammock), a picnic area, outdoor furniture, and an outdoor fireplace. There is bicycle parking and a private patio. The complex is tree-shaded, quiet, and secure. An outdoor swimming pool is open year-round.

Quiet Location Near Centre

The cottage is located several blocks east of Church Street, Prince Albert's main road. It is within walking distance (less than 1 km) to Fransie Pienaar Museum, shops, restaurants, and hotels. Wolwekraal Nature Reserve is 4 km away; Groot Swartberg Nature Reserve is 22 km. The Spar/Tops grocery store is a 3-4 minute drive. George Airport is 173 km away.

Helpful Services & Parking

Free private parking is available behind an electric gate. The owners/management provide prompt communication, a warm welcome (often by a tortoise named Terence), and check-in flexibility. Laundry service is available for an extra charge. The property has fire extinguishers and a security alarm.

“The cottage excels in thoughtful details, from the generous welcome provisions to the quality of the linens and towels, creating an immediate sense of comfort. Its peaceful garden setting and stylish, well-equipped interior are complemented by a truly delightful outdoor shower, making for a restorative stay close to town amenities.”
