What a beautiful house: high ceilings, broekie-lace verandah, large bedrooms, extra-large bathrooms, great aircon and fans (very welcome in the heat), fabulous pool. Centrally located on the main street, within easy walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. The breakfasts were fantastic and our host was genial and staff were friendly and efficient. We loved our 3 days in this pretty town and couldn't have chosen a better location or a more comfortable and luxurious place to stay.
Room number 6 (upstairs, with a king bed), was spacious - a lovely space to relax. But I did find the bed very hard - I prefer a softer bed.

Our bedroom and bathroom were both lovely. Incredibly spacious, light and comfortable and a lot of thought and attention to detail was evident. The bathroom had a shaver/electric toothbrush socket and in the bedroom for example there was a dressing table with a mirror and hairdryer where you could actually plug it in and see what you were doing, much appreciated and quite rare! Breakfast was generous and delicious and the pool and sitting area outside was very pretty and welcome as we had hot weather whilst we were there. Very good tips and advice from the host about places to visit and where to eat etc. I highly recommend The Sanctuary. Thank you Andre.
The only negative really was the front bedrooms (we were in one) had a bit of traffic noise from the main road early in the morning, so if this would bother you I recommend asking for a room set back from the street.

Perfect location,breakfast was amazing,the attention to detail,linen napkins, beautifully set table and perfect coffee.The staff are friendly and Andre makes one feel very much at home,very helpful with regard to,where too eat and what to go visit.Will certainly be back,for a swim in the sparkling pool.Lovely little fire in morning while enjoying one's breakfast, and not to forget the Nespresso machine,in my room for early rises or late night owls.
Nothing.There was absolutely nothing negative to say about host or establishment.

The Sanctuary lives up to its name. After a bad experience at another guesthouse, we were welcomed by Andre with open arms. Andre was very kind and did everything possible to ensure we enjoyed our stay in Prince Albert. The full English breakfast was extraordinary & the best we have had during our trip in South Africa. Apart from the English breakfast they also provided us yoghurt & fruits, some homemade granola and homegrown mangos which were very tasteful! If you would like to make a stop in Prince Albert, don't hesitate to book your stay at the Sanctuary!

Andre and Lisa are super hosts and really welcomed us into their house. They have totally renovated The Sanctuary in the past couple of years - the result is uplifting. Rooms are large with excellent beds and bathrooms, air conditioning, fridges. There are a plethora of dining options in pretty Prince Albert, we spent the evening walking up the high street, popping into art galleries, having a glass of wine in the Cookery School before dinner. Great sleep followed by a gourmet breakfast incorporating local (actually home grown papaya juice - seasonal I guess), yoghurt, home made muesli, muffins, fruit, and a full fried breakfast with local produce. Oh and they have a large pool and car parking. A highly recommended place in which to stay. Thanks again.

We had a small concern with the room that was immediately attended to, really appreciate that. The house and decor is gorgeous and a fantastic host. The pool was a lifesaver in mid summer. The breakfast was great with home made granola which they really should sell!). Overall a lovely stay and would recommend.
Being a guest house, with other people oom home you are aware of other people’s coming and going etc.

I would strongly recommend the Sanctuary to anybody looking to stay in Prince Albert. It is perfectly located within walking distance of many restaurants, stores, museum, church and even the dairy. The rooms are comfortable with lovely wooden floors and upstairs balcony is a lovely spot to watch the sun go down over the mountains with a drink in hand. Breakfast is a treat. the fresh fruit and the freshly squeezed orange juice are exceptional. The staff are friendly and willing to help and Andre is a fabulous host. I hope to make it back with my family in the future.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay. A huge plus for me is that Andre & his staff were able to assist with my special dietary requirements. The food was excellent & particularly their very own home made muesli.
A huge cockroach in the bathroom & a few smaller ones running around, but this seems to be the norm in the area.
