169 guests' feedbackNow it really is a fantastic place to stay - clean, tidy, spacious and well appointed. Each unit offers its own braai area and is nice and private. The owners are very hospitable and friendly. Can really recommend it.
The cottage is absolutely beautiful and catered for every imaginable need. Friendly and helpful host.
We had an amazing stay at Ta Mala's. The spacious houses with clean bathrooms that have a shower and a bath were a great treat. We could sit for hours and hang out on Olive's porch while we could greet Prince Albert's visitors passing by in the street and share our enjoyment of the town with them.
The place is perfectly located, we could walk everywhere, I could also ride from there to the cycling starting point. Everything we needed was there, as well as many details such as matches and "fire lighters" and wood at a very good price. The beds were wonderfully warm and everything was very comfortable.
What a beautiful, neat and clean place to stay. Will definitely book with Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages again! The place has everything your heart desires for a nice break, as well as very friendly staff.

Excellently equipped, centrally located, friendly and helpful service, old world beauty, etc.
Fantastic place. Was so sad to leave.
See stars.
Ta Mala is the best self-catering unit we have stayed in after many visits to Prince Albert. The units know what the visitor's expectations are, clearly have experience in the industry and touch. The cottage is modern, but with passion for what was. Caring owners and everything and more, come take a look for yourself!
The self-catering unit has everything we needed and we had a great stay. Didn't use the nice barbeque area because it was just too cold outside and the sitting and kitchen area was also cold because the air conditioning is in the room. I would suggest that the hair dryer cord might be made longer as it is a bit short and I had to bend over. Hostess received us very kindly.
Very nice! Had a great time there!
What a beautiful place, unique location, full of character, warm atmosphere and so well decorated! We enjoyed every minute of our stay and felt like we were transported into some other time. Our host has been very kind.
The unit was very neat, clean, practically laid out and well furnished, and of course beautiful. Will definitely stay there again.
Thank you Nonnos, Erika and Dewald for the most beautiful and enjoyable overnight stay in the Karoo. You have managed to get me addicted to your guest house!
Spending some time in a place that is over 100 years old doesn't always happen. The units have been beautifully restored and the unit is very tidy. We stayed in Windpomp which has a lovely veranda overlooking the courtyard garden. The cottages are one block from the main street with the beautiful Swartbergpas Hotel also just around the corner.
Hostess made extra effort with our reservation without us asking for it. Accommodation was neat and spacious and conveniently close to everything. We were 2 groups and the reservation was upgraded without us requesting it, we were able to have a great time together. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. The cleaning help was just as friendly and professional. Had a great time here. Smallest details are thought of.
Erika was extremely accommodating and very helpful. We will most certainly go back and stay with Ta Mala’s.
Cute combination of antiques and modern elements. Sorry there is no oven.
Hospitable, comfortable, just right!
We had everything at our disposal. Had a great sleep, showered and had coffee. Children enjoyed their beds. Will definitely book with you again. Thank you very much!
For business purposes I have stayed over everywhere, in and around Prince Albert. Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages was an amazing stay experience in Prince Albert, within walking distance of the town and its attractions. Exceptionally tidy, equipped with literally everything needed, with quite a few interesting surprises. I'm going back.
It was our second time at Ta Mala's Self-Catering Cottages and just like last time it was honestly lovely to sleep and rest there.
We arrived there on motorbikes in the heat of the day. The place was neat and deliciously cool. We could immediately cool off in the lovely swimming pool and from there walk down to town for a nice meal at the Rude Chef!
Had a great time, would definitely recommend!
Was lovely to stay there. Pool was a welcome area and braai facilities were good.
The house is very well equipped and pretty old fashioned. Erika was very helpful and friendly. Pool was a bonus in the hot weather.
Very comfortable and well beyond what I expected for the price. Will definitely return.
Lovely, spacious house with lots of character. The decor is artistic and it's wonderful that the restoration of the old historic houses was done with such taste and attention. Will definitely stay there again.
We really enjoyed staying in the cottage. It was a type of accommodation that we had not previously experienced. We were disappointed that the pool was not clean and we could not use it.
We enjoyed it, it was very comfortable.
Beautiful accommodation in the heart of Prince Albert.
Unique places with a mix of antique and modern furniture and equipment. Well prepared for power outages.
Very well furnished and very tidy! We had a very nice stay. The place is much bigger than it appears in the pictures.
Very quaint and welcoming.
Would recommend Ta Mala's to anyone traveling through Prince Albert.
We had a very nice stay. The unit looks unfinished and the bedding and sofa cover are/were unfortunately dirty. Furthermore, we can definitely recommend it.
We were very impressed with the accommodation. Very clean and tidy and equipped with everything you need. We were also helped by the owner with a bigger cottage because we have a 5 month old baby and it was very accommodating and helpful for us.
Meerkat is ideal for two people and has everything you need. Erika's hospitality (and kettle with boiling water for early morning coffee during load shedding) made our stay extra special.
Beautifully restored cottages and very carefully and thoughtfully furnished throughout. Ideally situated in the middle of town one street back from main road. Really comfortable stay with everything we needed. Erika a welcoming and friendly host. Highly recommended!
We had a great time with friends in this artist village full of interesting sights and enjoying tasty food. We will visit again.
A wonderful, peaceful destination away from the everyday hustle and bustle. Would definitely recommend it.
After a long day on the road, the place is exactly what people need, friendly welcome, clean, modern, neat and everything was perfect! We slept well and woke up fresh and refreshed for the day ahead. Recommend it to anyone and Prince Albert is picture perfect!
We were generously received. Briefly and friendly ingrained. Everything needed for any season's stay was available. We were able to live and experience the Karoo friendliness and comfort. We can recommend the accommodation without reservation.
Overall, a great experience and the best host. Thank you Erika.
Very neat, clean, comfortable and spacious cottage. Thank you Erika.
It was an absolutely wonderful experience on the way back from Oudtshoorn to our house, we took the long way back. The cottages are warm and very well furnished and we enjoyed the natural beauty of Prince Albert all the more because of the gem.
The old world luxury was wonderful.
With each visit over the past 2 years, Erika and Dewald make sure that it is a 5 star visit.
Very friendly and helpful hostess.
Friendly welcome. All I regret is not posting for a longer time. We will definitely want to visit there again. Eugene and Sandra.
This was our first visit to Prince Albert and staying at Ta Mala's made it a fantastic experience. We will definitely visit again.
Just a pity the owner did not receive us himself and come to introduce us.
The sleeping place is painfully neat. The stove works wonderfully and we had a wonderful time relaxing in the silence.
You are welcome to stay here. I slept in Windpomp and found it spacious, neat, clean, nicely furnished and comfortable. The white linen was crisp and the mattress very comfortable. I was kindly received by Dewald who even carried my heavy cooler box to my unit, and left me back to the car.
Very neat. Very pretty.
Very nice stay with a very good Karoo experience.
We stayed in Rooster and were very satisfied. Love the decor style, neat and clean.
See stars.
Will come back and stay here again anytime.
Rooster has everything we needed from kitchen equipment to braai facilities! It just wasn't clean everywhere, especially not the bathroom!
Lovely braai/visit area. Very cozy.
This is my 2nd time staying there and after all the renovation, my previous experience was trumped there! Would recommend it to everyone.
The guest room was very unique. We enjoyed it. Met our expectation. Very friendly service from the owner.
Friendly reception, lovely stay! So nice overnight.
The cottage is small but has so much character and so beautifully restored! 10/10. It was comfortable and quite warm in the cold winter!
Our cottage was very nice and clean.
Very nice stay with great host and hostess.
Erika, the owner, is very friendly and very helpful, the decor is very nice and the bathroom is particularly nice with an incredibly nice bath! The cottage has everything you need!
We stayed in Windpomp. Very comfortable and furnished with great care. Lovely porch with outdoor barbecue. Dewald and Erika were available throughout. It is walking distance from the main street. We never used our car. We would love to stay another week! Thank you very much for the nice visit.
We really enjoyed our visit, everything was very comfortable and we immediately felt at home! We even stayed an extra night!
I had a great time at Ta Mala's, I was really pleasantly surprised by the place. I appreciate that so much has been done to keep the original character of the cottage without sacrificing comfort in any way. There are all possible amenities to ensure a wonderful stay, and a few extras, such as the outdoor shower and swimming pool to cool off in. The location is perfect, within walking distance of everything. I would very much like to spend the night there again and can recommend the accommodation with certainty.
It was a lovely visit. Everything is neat and clean and worked well.
The accommodation was truly a pleasure. The facilities are excellent. Thanks for good service.
Beautiful Karoo cottages done with so much taste that are very well located. Dewald and Erika friendly host and hostess. Ta Mala Cottages is highly recommended!
Ta Mala is a beautiful place. Everything is beautiful, inside and out. We were received very kindly and everything was clean and tidy. There were even electric blankets on the bed. It is a stone's throw from the town centre. I went for an early walk every morning and experienced the village when everyone was getting up. We have stayed at Ta Mala before and would recommend it to everyone.
I lived in the Aloe cottage. It is wonderfully spacious, with a new bathroom and a large veranda that is nice in the shade in the afternoons. There is also a gas grill, which is very handy for quickly cooking a piece of meat. Good WiFi and Netflix came in handy for entertainment in the evening.
Bad smell at front door of septic tank. Front door has no blinds and faces the street so no privacy and if you don't close the room door people can look in. As a result, the room becomes very stuffy. Pillow is either too high and hard or too flat.
Ta Mala's location is nice and central and my wife and I could walk to everything in town. The walk around makes the Prins Albert Karoodorp experience that much more charming.
Unfortunately we could only spend the night, but the short time there was nice! Everything is practical, clean and comfortable! Thank you Ta Mala! We slept well!
We had a really lovely stay and would recommend it to anyone.
Very nice stay, beautiful stargazing.
Reception, atmosphere, layout, artistry - all top notch. Old and new combined with a fine eye for detail, coziness and comfort. Special place, highly recommend it for people who like something out of the ordinary.
We spent a lovely weekend here and will definitely stay there again. The accommodation and facilities are beautiful and very comfortable. We were treated very kindly. Thank you very much Erika!
Beautiful place - everything neat and picturesque. Wonderful hostess and host Will definitely go back again.
Had a great time; Neat, clean and friendly. Well equipped for short and longer stays. A place to stay that we are happy to recommend.
See stars.
We had a great stay! The house was clean, tidy and well equipped. Erika was very helpful and professional upon our arrival! Now found my place to sleep in Prince Albert will definitely be staying there. Thank you very much Erika you may.
Olyf is stylishly and comfortably furnished. Walking distance to the main street.
Our host and hostess were very friendly. Will definitely see you again if we go that direction. The self-catering unit has everything one needs to stay comfortably. Thank you very much.
We had a great stay at Rooster cottage and will definitely return. Real value for money and everything very nice and clean.
One night is not enough, stay longer!
Beautiful, clean accommodation. Nice to experience old times again.
The Meerkat cottage is perfect for two people and we will definitely want to go back. The detail and finish with which the cottage was restored is very special and makes for a unique experience. The cottage is only about two blocks away from the central town where most places to eat are located so it is easy to walk around from Ta Mala's. Erika was also very good with communication which contributed to a nice experience.
This is the neatest, most incredible, well-kept place you can find. The most beautiful antiques. My children were happy and did not want to return. Everything you could possibly need is there, and the full-size fridge with the kids was most welcome. A must for any family. A piece of paradise!
Loved the verandah, decor and "leiwater" system.
The accommodation was excellent.
Would definitely stay there again.
Would love to stay there again in the future for more than just one night.
Great, friendly service! Cottages are beautifully neat. You will definitely see us again!
What an incredible place in the Karoo! Prince Albert stole a piece of our hearts. Me, my husband and 4 month old baby spent the night there. We will definitely spend the night there again, but for longer! Thank you very much Erika.
Nice quiet and peaceful, beautiful gardens and swimming pool in and around the restored house. We immediately felt at home!
Erika and family have restored Ta Mala so perfectly and managed to make your guests feel so special!
We had a great stay at Ta Mala's, felt welcome from first moment, clean accommodation, lovely pool and all the self-catering amenities you need! Will definitely stay here again!
Unbelievably beautiful. Crisp and so delicious at home. Erika received us kindly and immediately made us feel at home. Please come and visit. It's a must.
So full of character. A gem of a place. Will definitely stay at Ta Mala's again!
This is the best guesthouse we have ever stayed in. Beautifully clean and tidy and everything you need is there. Erika was incredibly friendly and everything was just great there will definitely go back and recommend it.
We stayed in Meerkat. It was a wonderful experience. Unit has everything you need and is well located close to everything in town. Host and hostess very friendly and helpful. We would stay there again and can recommend Ta Mala to anyone visiting Prince Albert.
Everyone was helpful, friendly and made a lot of effort to make it as comfortable as possible for us as a family. Great service, beautiful place. We will definitely come again!
My daughter and I stayed for two nights. Lovely cottage with everything we needed for self-catering. Close to various restaurants, the hotel, galleries etc. Quiet area ─ we needed that, coming from Cape Town, both working in corporate environments! Enjoyable, definitely would recommend.
A lovely well appointed cottage. Everything you need for self catering. Within walking distance of activities. Felt quite at home. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
It was a very cozy place and Erika's service is incredible. The ladies who work at Ta Mala are so nice!
Very clean and very tidy accommodation! The cottage is equipped with many beautiful antiques and all kinds of cute things! I would definitely stay here again!
We had a very nice stay. Comfortable and tastefully furnished. Nice place to stay for a group of friends who need their own space. Close to the high street (and gin bar)!
We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived tired from the West Coast at Ta Mala's to spend the night. Full kitchen, bathroom with large shower and tub. Throughout, quality linen was used and attention was also paid to heating, although it was not necessary to use the electric blanket or air conditioning. What was impressive, however, was learning how Ta Mala's came about and seeing photos of how much effort went into the restoration. As regular travelers, we have not yet used accommodation where so much effort has been put into restoration and decor. It's lovely to stay in such a homely atmosphere, felt like we knew the owners well when we left early the next morning. Unit was painstakingly tidy and of course the undercover braai was a bonus for me.
Ta'Mala surprised me. Beautiful place with the prettiest decor. True Karoo feel. Clean, neat and fully equipped. Location is perfect and very safe. Swimming pool and very cosy patio where you can braai. Very good service from the owner.
The cottage was lovely, clean and spacious. However, the noise coming from the loft's floor boards made sleeping quite difficult.
We really enjoyed the time at Ta Mala's Meerkat unit. Neat, clean and adequate. Thank you very much.
When one travels through the breathtaking surroundings of the Black Mountains and comes under the impression of an ancient mountain pass with its stories of people who built on it, and you finally stop in Prince Albert in front of an old house that is that same antiquity breathe, do you feel small and insignificant and just want to be quiet for a few moments and reflect on the life of yesterday and the day before yesterday and today. We had the privilege of staying in the Meerkat room. It is old. And luxury. Touching. An experience you should not miss.
It was a lovely place to stay. If you travel with friends, make sure you book the two interleading units. Unfortunately we only stayed for one night and we will definitely recommend Ta Mala's to future guests. Clean, spacious, crafty interior and everything that was needed. The full size fridges were welcome - most places have bar fridges that can be quite problematic at times. Thank you for sharing this beautiful place with us.
Little step in hallway to lounge and bedroom was a nightmare death trap for us frail people as we tripped and fell before we put suitcases there to prevent it happening. Always having to be aware. Also, the braai grid was not clean. Also, I was concerned about no off-street parking, but no problem. Otherwise great accommodation.
Very friendly welcome and was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed our stay in the clean and spacious comfortable unit. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to our family and friends.
Everything we needed and very creatively decorated!
I will definitely sleep there again. The place is beautiful. We slept in Windpomp, although we booked Meerkat. So we got a more luxurious unit because there was a cancellation.
It's our second weekend at Tamala. Erika is an excellent hostess! The beds are very comfortable and the linen is clean and of good quality. The cottages are always immaculate, clean and fully equipped, and there are all kinds of extras! Very good location. Walking distance to everything in Prince Albert!
Do yourself a favor and book your stay at Ta Mala's! Erika and team are very professional and friendly! This was our second time in Ta Mala's and will never book another stay in Prince Albert. The cottage is well cared for and equipped with everything and anything else you will need!! The decor is incredibly beautiful! Stay a winner!
See stars.
My husband was sceptical at first when we arrived at the house, but a little while in the friendly atmosphere, I realised that I've seen Meerkat in a magazine and was excited. Everything was perfect. Thank you for the good night's rest.
Very clean, neat and well-equipped. Good location.
Ta Mala's Windmill House is clean and equipped with anything you may need. It is centrally located and safe. We had a wonderful stay. The only problem is that the payment is difficult because you have to wait until 09:00 for the cleaner to make your payment with a card machine. We wanted to leave early but couldn't because we had to wait for her to pay. Unfortunately, there is no other payment option.
We didn't know the house had a thatched ceiling. My husband is very allergic to dust and this is never an option for us. Furthermore, the house had a strong Doom smell which does not favor someone with allergies. I think they spray it to keep the bugs out. There were no bugs or vermin. Furthermore, the owner is very nice and we have no complaints, I think for people who are not so sensitive to dust, it can work very well.
Available parking must be allocated/numbered to the various units.
Beautifully maintained and decorative and all necessities were there. The service was also friendly.
Lovely stay, the price seems a bit heavy when you book, but it's worth every penny. Great cooling off in the splash pool. Very good attention to detail. We thought the mosquito net was decorative, but not! Nice braai facilities and the dead silence that only the Karoo can offer.
Well equipped kitchen and a lovely braai area enhanced our stay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and clean.
Fantastic overnight facility. Very welcoming and definitely value for money.
Very artistic and the old-fashioned character has been retained and a great experience to experience this in a house that is 100 years old.
The house was very tidy and well equipped with all the necessities. I loved the privacy, the simple way in which we made our reservation, and the hospitality we experienced, even in the owner's absence. As a regular traveller, I'd recommend Ta Mala anytime. Thank you very much.
A lovely renovated cottage. We were pleasantly surprised! Well situated and everything your heart yearns for. Will go back for sure!
Something was left behind, I'm coming again.
Karoo hospitality at its best.
Probably one of the most beautiful places we've stayed at. The owners deserve to be successful with all the effort they put into this beautiful historical retreat.
Beautiful accommodation that is particularly creatively decorated. Too bad the hot water system is a challenge.
Thanks to the owners and staff for the great service and friendliness. Information pamphlet regarding to the history of Ta Mala and about Prince Albert was a big bonus. The place is conveniently centrally located. It is clean, tidy and cutely furnished. We experienced Karoo tranquility and hospitality at Ta Mala. Will definitely book there again.
We stayed two winter nights at Ta Mala. The little houses are traditional houses that have been restored, so it is modern yet traditional. Equipped with everything you need. Fireplace and winter linen so it wasn't cold. Ta Mala location is perfect, close enough so you can explore the town on foot but far enough so the traffic in the main road doesn't bother you.
Kan dit sterk aanbeveel.
The rooms, kitchen and toilets were very neat, clean and beautiful. The only things I would ask for next time would be: 1. instant coffee- there was a little bit of coffee, but it was ground coffee, but we didn't see a machine that could use ground coffee. 2. In the bedrooms there is aircon but even with all the lights off and the curtains closed there is too much light in the room to be able to sleep properly, because of the aircon's light. If they could maybe put masking tape or something over it it would make a big difference. Otherwise it was beautiful and very nice accommodation. Thank you!
We had a very nice stay in the well-equipped place. DStv and aircon a nice asset.
Beautifully restored little houses in Prins Albert in the Klein Karoo Located in a quiet street just 2 blocks from the little shops and eateries. Full kitchen, covered braai area outside, nice atmosphere.
Ta Mala's is special! The history of Prince Albert is depicted in this unique guest house. It's stylish, one of a kind!
The price for this unit should be a room and not self-catering. No indoor shower. No room to move. Too much squashed in a small space. Cleaners also wanted us out at 8 am. It was not a good visit. Disappointing.
Really enjoyed the night in the restored little house! The facilities were neat, clean and more than sufficient! I would definitely visit this place again!
I stayed in Meerkat. Everything was so neat and special, to the flowers in the bathroom. The shower outside was an experience with the moon and stars that peep at you! Everything was very practical and accessible, the bed was very comfortable, and the chairs under the bower were used a lot! Wish I could have used the braai or fireplace, but the weekend was just too short. Thank you very much that I was able to stay there - a privilege to sleep in a tastefully decorated place with a lot of history.
I would also like to have such a house! Exceeded our greatest expectations.
I was in Prins Albert for a conference. Stayed three nights. A beautifully restored little house, very comfortable, very clean, and lots of atmosphere. I parked outse on the pavement, and it was quite safe. Wonderful experience.
We were made to feel at home from the first moment on arrival. The venue was clean, comfortable and furnished in a most appealing way. The décor brought smiles to our faces - refreshing!
What a pleasant surprise awaited us. This authentic little house is beautifully furnished and equipped. It's petite, cute, tasteful and stunning! Very neat and clean. Have proper look at the photos and you'll know if it suits your taste.
Everything was neat and clean and very well equipped.
Pretty house, great location in town. Everything we needed.
Will use the facilities again anytime. From the initial arrangements, the stay to the departure, everything was perfect. We stayed in Windpomp and would definitely choose him again. Thank you very much Erika.
We were warmly welcomed and all the needed facilities were there. We felt safe throughout.
Ta Mala was a lovely destination for 2 people. It is beautiful, cozy and tasteful. I feel free to recommend the place.
We stayed in "Windpomp". A beautiful unit with so much character from days gone by. Everything was very clean and tidy. The unit is very well equipped for self-catering. We definitely recommend it and will definitely use it again in the future.
We stayed in Meerkat (Oct. 2016). Perfect little cottage, even with ancient furniture, candles, lamps, musquitoe-net, coal stove, large bath and outdoor shower. Has everything you need to find peace for your soul (remember to bring a good book and some bubble bath!). Ta Mala's team went out of their way to make our wedding anniversery very special: huge bouquet of flowers and sparkling wine in the fridge completed the romantic, old-world atmofphere in the little house.
We enjoyed the stay very much. The rooms are decorated with good quality items, bedding is fresh and neat. Air conditioner in bedroom was a bonus in December. Bikes were available to explore the town! Good value for money.
The house has been very nicely restored with special pieces that give it a very cozy feeling. Everything was neat, clean and comfortable. The cozy dressing gown was a bonus. It's centrally located and walking distance from town, but you also don't have all the hustle and bustle on your doorstep, which makes it nice and quiet for an afternoon nap. Excellent stay, would definitely recommend.
The shower water can be set even hotter.
What a lovely surprise to walk into Ta Mala with picture perfect decor. Windpomp is a lovely holiday home and fully furnished. We just found that Meerkat is not fully equipped for self-care. The outdoor shower is a big treat, but definitely only in summer, unless you're brave enough to brave it in winter. Congratulations and thanks to Erica and family!
