Delightful
Superb guest house with excellent friendly service. Lovely spacious rooms - shower water tended to run out every time. Beautiful fire going every night. I would have loved a nice mug in the room for tea and a jug of fresh milk instead of UHT sachets.

A Real Gem
From the moment we arrived until the moment we departed, we could not have been happier with the welcome, the hospitality, the helpfulness, overall service and the friendliness of Glen, the Manager, Audrey his very capable deputy and all the staff at the Albourne Boutique Guest House. If you want somewhere to stay that provides easy access to Cape Town (about 45 minutes drive outside of rush hour traffic); Chapman's Peak along the southern peninsula (about 1 hour); Hermanus Bay (about 1 to 2 hours depending on whether you take the pass or the coast road; and the Winelands (on the doorstep), then the ABGH is the place to stay. Certainly, when we return, we will be doing our best to stay there.
