We stayed for a week and our stay was exceptionally enjoyable and brilliant. The breakfast was excellent and the services and the staff you couldn’t ask for more. Location was brilliant as well. Glen and his team met all our needs. Will be going again!

Only had one night stay here but wished we could have stayed longer. Great location, everything you could need including an excellent sized room, lovely outdoor gardens and pool. We will be back

Lovely peaceful location with good facilities and comfortable rooms. But what really makes this place is the owners and the staff who make you feel really welcome and help with all your needs. Breakfast is an extensive selection with freshly cooked options.

The lovely guesthouse in a Cape Dutch architecture lies in a quiet yet central location in Somerset West. Comfortable beds in spacious rooms with friendly hosts and staff made our stay very pleasing. And our host were never short of good tips for restaurants/activities in the area.

We were in the Cape for a wedding and booked several rooms at the Albourne Guest house. It is hands down one of the best guest houses we have ever stayed at. Glen and his team are simply wonderful. The rooms were beautifully appointed and the place was spotlessly clean. The garden/pool area was beautiful with pool loungers and fresh towels. The breakfast was truly world class with a huge selection of wonderful food. Our favourite part had to be the extensive honesty bar. Glen and his team couldn’t have done more to make our stay perfect. This is a home from home for us Many thanks to Albourne Guest House

Glen and his team are most wonderful, friendly and helpful. I will definitely stay here again and highly recommend Albourne to anyone staying in the area. The entire guesthouse is clean, well kept and the garden really lovely to relax in.

A wonderful place to stay with super-attentive host (Glen) and staff. My friend and I arrived very late in the evening after a long flight and we were welcomed and checked-in by Peter who showed us our rooms, led us to the very comfortable lounge/bar, went and filled an ice bucket for us then lit the fire for us whilst we relaxed with a drink. Both our rooms were large, clean and comfortable with effective aircon units. Breakfast was great with a wide choice of cold and hot food and very attentive waiting staff. The guest house itself is located in an affluent area in which Glen assured us it was very safe to stroll around. We walked the next day to the beautiful Vergelegen winery (highly recommended) which took us about 20-30 mins each way. My luggage was unfortunately lost in transit from Amsterdam and as we were only stopping for 2 nights in Albourne before commencing a tour of the Western Cape, Glen kindly offered to look after our luggage in our absence when it eventually arrived. This is the kind of personal service which is much appreciated when things don't always go to plan! Thank You, Glen & Staff Paul V & Paul B

What a little gem! Amazing accommodation and location but best of all the owners and staff made our trip a success. Glen and Mareaze were the perfect hosts and we can’t wait to come back next year! Breakfast was substantial and delicious. The staff were so welcoming and made us feel at home. Lovely lounges and bar to complete our days just perfect!
