Albarosa Guesthouse

My stay was quite adequate for my purposes. The only confusing thing was that I had filtered on the online process for air-conditioning yet ended up with a room with no aircon.

The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. Plus everything about the facilities was well kept and clean.

What I liked about the property was the attention to detail the owner gave to each guest. I inadvertently booked a room with a share bath. However, prior to my arrival, to my delight the owner picked up on it, intuitively and upgraded my room to an in suite bath without any additional charges. The property is well maintained. It offers a warm, inviting embrace with a nice garden and inground pool. My room had all the comforts of home, with a brandy decanter and glasses for two, hot water kettle with tea, coffee and ceramic dishware, with a selection of books for quiet reading. Patio table with chairs for two were positioned just outside of my room to able me to enjoy a glass of wine, or tea with taking in the beautiful sunny weather. The dining area offer charming table settings for just two, or more, and the first glass of wine was on the house. After that payment was expected on the Honor system. Breakfast each day was amazing...bacon, sausage, eggs, fresh fruit, variety of yogurts, cereals, breads, and more...As I was preparing for a day at the Babylonstoren Vineyard, the owner offered me an umbrella for protection from the blazing sun while touring the farm. Having visited various countries in Africa, I will remember my stay at Albarosa, as one of my most pleasant and plan to return next year and brings friends.
