A large private patio overlooks a young olive orchard set in stone-packed terraces and a koppie with resident owls and raptors. Swim in the rustic farm dam or laze in the tranquil garden with its indigenous plants, herbs, fruit trees, braai area with "bakoond" and a traditional Karoo windmill. Dennehof guests may do their own catering or enjoy meals at several excellent local restaurants. Hire a bicycle for the day (R50) and ride into the village or out to the Swartberg Pass.

Situated on the southernmost threshold of the Great Karoo, and just 2 kms from the foot of the awe-inspiring Swartberg Pass, Prince Albert is the perfect base for exploring all the wonders of the Swartberg mountains. Visitors come from all over the world to drive the pass, to explore the exquisite remote valley of Gamkaskloof (The Hell) and visit Meiringspoort, a majestic gorge characterised by soaring rockfaces, fascinating plants, and clear falls of mountain water.

Hiking, mountain biking, birding and botanical excursions are major attractions while the crystal-clear Southern night skies beckon stargazers from all over the world.
