Company information

I have lived in Prince Albert since November 2017 after I bought Mai’s Guest in October 2017. I’ve known the property since 2000 and stayed here many times as a guest and spent a lot of time here. I started a two-year renovation to the existing house and rooms and then also added two luxury cottages in the back garden. A new garden and pool pavilion was created and designed for guests to relax. The garden is a tranquil haven with many pleasant surprises. After the renovations, I decided on a new name, as there was a totally different look and ambience. My mission is to make guests feel welcome and to have home comforts. We are so looking forward to welcoming you and to share a unique Karoo experience with you.
