My 2nd time to Prince Albert, a delightful town. Couldn't get a room at Mais last time as she was fully booked so I rang ahead this time. The rooms are realy spacious and the location is on the main road, which is a big plus for walking to the shops, museum & restaurants. Everything is right there. It's a... More

We stayed in Mai's Guest Lodge in January 2012 in one of the hottest weeks in the Karoo and were first struck not only by the beauty of the lovely old house when entering through the front door, but also by the refreshing coolness - thanks to Mai's air cooling system. The house has - I believe - 2 or... More

Mai's B&B is just lovely. Exactly what you'd want from a b&b - comfy bed, spacious room, , plunge pool for the scorching Karoo heat and a super tasty brekkie complete with homemade jams and chutneys. The best thing about Mai's is Mai! She's epitomises the best of Irish hospitality in the Karoo! Follow her suggestions for dinner, sundowners and... More

All the personal care you could hope for. Mai is a wonderfull host and gives personal care in detail. The same Irish Hospitality we have had in Ireland in July of 2011 transferred to South Africa in the small town of Prins Albert! Being a South African born and bred, it says something when we do not book and stay... More

We stayed at Mai's for one night only and could have easily stayed longer. Mai is such a lovely warm person and a real genuine character. She gave us a choice of bedrooms which were all lovely but we chose the annexe which had its own entrance and patio doors which led on to the pool area. This outdoor area... More

We chanced upon Mai's when we arrived in Prince Albert looking for a room for the night, and i'm so pleased that we did! Mai is so welcoming and friendly and makes you feel completely at home - she's like your Aunty! The rooms are all beautifully turned out and furnished really nicely and we were so pleased to have...
