Our Garden rooms are literally that, set at the rear of the house in our maturing garden. You'll have to yourself a private entrance and your own stoep where you can while away the hours watching the birdlife come and go with a glass of wine in hand.

Your hosts are Jude, Bryan and the legendary (in Prince Albert) Mr Darcy and his younger sidekick Stanley. Originally from Europe we bought the original house in 2010 and after settling in Prince Albert permanently we set about building our garden rooms.
