Protea Hotel by Marriott George King George

10/10 Excellent

"We had a lovely stay for one night during our garden route trip. The view from our balcony was insane and the room was spacious for us three. Staff were very helpful, particularly the staff member who helped us with our bags up the stairs due to no lift and the staff member who let us use the pool table when the bar was closed."

De Zeekoe Guest Farm

10/10 Excellent

"We had a fantastic stay at De Bergkant in late July. The setting and surrounding view was stunning. We were greeted by Tracey who was manager and head chef. She could not have been more helpful. She provided recommendations on things to do in Prince Albert and places to eat, even made our dinner reservations for us. The rooms and the grounds were clean and comfortable. One of the highlights of our stay was breakfast. Tracey prepared a varied 5 course breakfast each morning that could only be described as incredible. Most ingredients were locally sourced and everything was absolutely delicious. Prince Albert itself had a lot to offer and was well worth the trip. To anyone planning a trip to the area I highly recommend including a stay at De Bergkant."
