We would like to introduce you to our KAROO VIEW COTTAGES in PRINCE ALBERT:
4 Star and Superior AA rated Self catering cottages perched on a Koppie, 400m off the main street of the village of Prince Albert, overlooking the Swartberg and Karoo Plains.
In 2008 Richard and I left Hillcrest in Natal and went on a search for somewhere to retire and after travelling all over the Western Cape, visiting many little towns and villages we settled on Prince Albert having taken into account a number of considerations;
Cleanliness of the town, security and safety, cost of living i.e. rates, community and its people, ambiance and of course would we be happy living in this area and would we want to buy an existing property or develop our own.
In September 2008 we were shown a piece of natural Koppie, just up from the main street of the village, yet offering the peace and tranquility that we were seeking, all so conveniently situated and with a View that was priceless, like no other in and around the village.
Richard immediately “fell in love”. There is also “something” Intangible that you can feel when visiting the village and to which many guests have also commented on. We bought the 2 erven filled only with natural spring flowers as far as the eye can see and a veggie tunnel that was falling down.
Our initial intention was to build a house and for us to retire, however as Richard is quite a lot older than I he suggested that we build a business which could sustain me in the future and hence the decision to build and create our business on the one erven and our house on the other.
We starting planting our first trees in January 2009 and whilst living on our Koppie in our caravan we started building in July 2009 which took nearly a year to complete. We welcomed our first guests in June 2010 and to be honest we have not looked back. Our Turnover, Room Night Bookings and Bed Night bookings have increased year on year and our Repeat and Referrals are astonishing, thus exceeding our expectations in so many ways and continue to do so going forward.
We love what we have created and are very proud in what we have achieved coming up to 5 years of trading including the quality of life and Lifestyle that we have been able to lead in our special place, however due to some very important personal and health issues we are now having to re-look at our future earlier than we intended.
Just after we moved my Mom and Aunt who are now 84 and 88 decided to follow us, but unfortunately my Mom has not been well for the past 2 years and has a heart complaint and therefore has just moved to a retirement home with frail care in Cape Town.
Richard is going to be 73 this year and even though he loves our business and the interaction with our guests and of course our special Koppie, he does need to be able to retire properly.
We also need to be much more flexible with our time as we need to be able to spend more time away from Prince Albert and we also need to be able to spend quality time and support to my Aunt.
Due to the my personal nature I have realized that I do need to “break the ties” as I need to free up my time in order to be able to have quality time with my family as they are all I have and thus the very very hard decision we have made.
We would like to suggest that you look at our website www.karooview.co.za as it describes our business in great detail including beautiful photos’ and a Virtual Tour on the bottom of our Home page which will show you exactly what our cottages look like.
We do not intend leaving Prince Albert in the immediate future as we do have other properties and my Aunt who has decided not to re-locate and therefore we would be available to assist with Hand over to new owners.
