Located at the foot of the majestic Swartberg mountains in the postcard-perfect town of Prince Albert, the Karoo Heritage Manor is a faithfully restored historic home reimagined as an African-nouveau design space — blending high-concept furniture pieces with a close connection to nature

The Lowdown

Far from the madding crowds, this spacious Victorian-style Art House captures the essence of Karoo slow living, offering a luxurious and considered space surrounded by the red mountain and open plains of the country’s most awe-inspiring landscape

Sleeping Arrangements

Comprising the main Victorian House & Barn and the Pool House, the estate sleeps up to 10 guests in 5 bedrooms (all en-suite, except for the guest suite in the Pool House). The former features the Conservatory, Garden, and Library Suites, while the latter features the Studio Suite and guest bedroom

What To Expect

Altogether, this boutique estate has three kitchens, two dining rooms, and multiple verandas, stoeps, and courtyards. Embraced by nature, it features a pool, a conservatory, a medicinal healing garden, and a 'Karoo Potting Station' located between spas on either side

The Art House Difference

Each space features an extensive art, photography, and design collection. The estate hosts events and workshops catered to artists, chefs, and creatives — currently, there’s a sculpture garden in the works featuring works by local artists
