Budget Getaways Review
About 20 kays from the center of the Prince Albert Valley, you will find the elegant Aviator Hangar House.
Skirting the airplane hangar on the edge of the private airfield, this stunning house is set amid even more stunning surrounds of lush vines and looming mountains.
The 800ha private estate offers a true break from the madding rush of daily life - no cell reception, no internet, no TV. Instead, long lazy days on the wraparound verandah.
Aviator Hangar House sleeps four guests in a King and twin room - both with luxurious ensuite bathroom. The linen and towels are of the best quality and the attention to detail is in strong evidence throughout.
The well-equipped kitchen is stocked with coffee, tea, rusks, fresh farm milk, a bottle of red and white wine and decadent choccies. The kitchen looks out over the cosy living area and its gesellig fireplace.
Much of your day and evening will be spent on that stoep, savoring glass upon glass of red wine under incredible Karoo skies.
As one guest puts it, staying at Aviator Hangar House is “an experience to treasure and remember”. We would probably agree.
"We stayed for two nights at the Aviator Guesthouse. It was absolutely stunning, with every possible thing needed for our weekend break. Added to that there was a bottle of red and white wine waiting for us, farm milk, teas, coffees, rusks and chocolates. The luxury we had for the very reasonable price was unbelievable and the setting amongst the vineyards was too beautiful. I will definitely try and go again to this beautiful place 20 kms outside the quaint town of Prince Albert. I highly recommend it."

"We had the most wonderful stay in Aviator House. Thanks Chantal for everything! What an amazing house and additions that made our stay one to remember. My mom is not easily impressed but she is still talking about the amazing stay! We loved it!! "
