“Beautiful Karoo property hosted by a great person.”
The location was excellent. Right in the middle of town. The property was a beautiful old Karoo building. We loved eating breakfast outside the front and watching the world go by. The breakfast was superb. Everything was locally sourced and Leonard made the butter and marmalade. Leonard, our host was fabulous. Nothing was too much trouble.

“A little oasis in the heart of the outback.”
It’s like an oasis in the middle of the Outback. The guest house is designed with great care and excellent taste. From the moment you arrive, you feel at home and can immediately relax and enjoy the pool and beautiful outdoor area. The breakfast is phenomenal, and our host was incredibly kind and helpful. He communicated with us in advance and even supported us with a dinner reservation. We highly recommend this beautiful guest house and will definitely come back.

Excellent breakfast with plenty of choice, seated in the covered patio near the pool. the owners go out of their way to book places to eat, and advise on there style of cooking. the rooms are large with every amenity, nothing is to much trouble for the guest.

“Warm hospitality in a beautiful environment. Well done .”
A very beautiful Cape Dutch guesthouse in the center of Prince Albert. We felt spoilt by the personal touches from Leneords homemade jams. Bread. He was so helpful with booking dinners and local information. The garden is beautiful and the pool was a delight to cool off from the heat. We highly recommend Onse rus.
