Yellow House | Prince Albert | Accommodation | Restaurant

Yellow House | Prince Albert offers a memorable farm stay in quaint cottages located on the southern end of the Karoo town of Prince Albert, at the foot of the breath-taking Swartberg Pass.

Visit Yellow House | Prince Albert

 A working almond and citrus farm, this gem is one of the rare “dorpsplase” – a farm with a street address, 1.8km from the centre of town. Most of the buildings on the farm date from around 1885, the same period when Thomas Bain was busy constructing the majestic Swartberg Pass.

We have six artistically restored, self-catering cottages, each with its own stoep and braai. Crisp white linen, great coffee, and home-baked rusks are ready to pamper you; magnificent stargazing, the ever-present mountains, and the peace and quiet will soothe any tired soul. Our spacious wet-room style bathrooms provide a cool respite from the summer heat. Take a stroll through our orchard or enjoy our gardens – some of our cottages are pet friendly. Take your mountain bike right off the stoep and ride 5km until you hit the dreaded Swartberg Pass!

What a treat to have spent 3 nights in this little piece of paradise. The hosts are so welcoming, the location is amazing, a quick walk into town. The "eating, sleeping and breathing". 10/10 would recommend 👌

We loved staying at Yellow House. We were 4 people staying in the "Ginger" and "Borrie" units. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed walking through the almond orchids and seeing all the fruit trees. We enjoyed a dinner in their on-site restaurant - the chef is very talented. Small menu but you still feel spoiled for choice.

Wat 'n ongelooflike plek! Een van min plekke wat werklik rystoel vriendelik is. Goed gedoen Joubert en Petro. Ons sal defnitief weer daar oorslaap. Kos was van uitstaande gehalte. Dankie Jason en almal wat dit voorberei het. Michael en Elsabé Strand

We only spent an hour here on route up the Swartberg pass. We were racing and this was just a quick stop to replenish our food stores. However, I wished we had more time to spend. It was simply beautiful! Our hosts fed us the most delicious omlette , made delicious coffee and were simply lovely human beings!

Fantastic setting and decor leaving nothing to be desired on all fronts. Winter meals here are warm and cosy with a roaring fire. Your hosts are gracious and friendly without being overbearing. Meal quality is top class with the kitchen being in full view. Pay special attention to the cheese selection.

Delightful meal made from fresh produce We had a lovely lunch in beautiful garden setting. Delicious thin crust pizza to start with, pork belly to die for as main and pomelo curd with French meringue dessert. Worth every cent. Will definitely recommend and will be back

Jewel of Prince Albert My second time at Yellow House in Prince Albert. Once you discover this jewel in Prince Albert, you wont even consider staying over in another place. Joubert and Petro are the most wonderful hosts, the accommodation inside the rooms are so nicely decorated with the finest detail. In addition to this, you will hardly find a place that can compare to the dinners they prepare. Absolutely a feast to experience. Thanks so much, we will definately be back soon. Japie and Sanet

A quiet friendly farm stay with magnificent food We spent a long weekend as an extended family at Yellow House and it was absolutely wonderful. The cottages are comfortable and homey. The vistas into the mountains were magnificent and free from light polution. The hospitality shown by Petro and Joubert was warm and nothing was too much trouble. The cooking out of Petro's restaurant was top notch - a proper Kokkedoor chef. A highlight was a family cooking class in Petro's kitchen - please ask for this when you book and you have enough people. So much fun and we are all now cooking the dishes we learnt. Well worth a visit - out of the hubbub of town, but so much better for it.

Peace and joy at the Yellow House Glorious setting for a pizza, a beer and some peace and quiet. Off the beaten track and a real classy joint No need to go anywhere else … The milkshakes expressed the eclectic character of the hosts who just can’t do enough for you And - you can hire bicycles, so get a workout and then eat, drink, and relax …

Family Getaway Simply awesome! Booked this getaway on a whim and did not do much research prior to the trip. We were welcomed and everything worked and zero issues during our stay. I will be back because the accommodation was brilliant

Hands down my best birthday ever I chose to have my delayed 50th birthday lunch with Petro and Joubert. I was lucky enough to have friends from all over the country attend and the lunch was fantastic. Petro's food and sense of style are superb and my birthday case was a work of art, in addition to being the most delicious chocolate cake I've ever eaten. Lunch was a privilege and a spoil,and hands down the best birthday party I have ever had. Thanks to Petro and her wonderful team for making my birthday so fabulous.

Perfect Workaway in Prince Albert We stayed at the Yellow House for a one week "workaway." We were extremely satisfied. The cottages are charming and clean with all amenities one would need, great wifi, fireplace, and ample space for our staffie to run around. We stayed in the Lavender pet-friendly unit. Petro and Jourbet were amazing hosts - extremely hospitable, warm and accommodating. They went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable during our stay. The restaurant was the best restaurant in Prince Albert so I highly recommend dining there. The Yellow House is also conveniently located from town with easy access to the Swartberg Pass with breathtaking views. Our stay at the Yellow House was amazing and I recommend staying and dining there to anyone visiting Prince Albert.
