Nieuwehuyz

A short and easy walk from Prince Albert’s main road, Nieuwehuyz is a charming, modern, self-catering guesthouse offering an intimate and upmarket retreat for a couple or single travellers.

A commitment to green architecture means that many considerations were taken into account when it came to the design elements here, with special attention being given to everything from the lighting to the height of switches, ventilation, climate control and more. The main bedroom is en-suite and air-conditioned, with a living area consisting of an open-plan kitchen, lounge and dining room that opens out onto a private, enclosed courtyard. The kitchen is fully kitted out with state-of-the-art Smeg appliances and Le Creuset kitchenware, ensuring you have everything you need for a hassle-free, self-catering stay. The feel is very much one of a home away from home. There is also an annex with two double beds.

In between exploring the coffee shops, galleries, restaurants and craft shops in the town, catch a show at The Showroom Theatre (on Saturday evenings), kick back on the comfy leather couch in front of the fireplace or be soothed by the sounds of the fountains that create a tranquil ambience.

Visit the “Jewel of the Great Karoo” and stay in undisturbed comfort and style at Nieuwehuyz.
