Prince Albert Country Stay

Decorated with polished Cape heirlooms and gleaming antiques (no surprise, given the owners run a vintage shop on the same property), this B&B in the middle of town combines old-school country flair with modern-minimalist sensibility. In fact, you might feel like you’ve stumbled onto the set of a favourite period film – especially if you book Lady Chatterley’s Chamber.

The light-filled rooms are either tucked under the eaves upstairs or open onto the lovely verandah. You’ll sleep in antique brass beds (with new mattresses and luxe linen, of course) and wake to birdsong, beautiful views and hot or cold beverages delivered to your room.
