Quiet and nice.
Aunt Betsie and Uncle André were very friendly and helpful. Rooms were cleaned every day and every other day there were clean sheets - we had a very nice stay. Breakfast was very nice - effort made for Christmas.

Neat, clean, value for money.
While the place is neat and clean and the owners are helpful, they should have used the generator that was available on the premises at the time of load shedding. I find it unacceptable that a 4 star guesthouse with a generator would choose to leave their guests in the dark. The generator could only have been used for 2 or 3 hours in the evening.

It was a home away from home for us and we had a wonderful stay.
We had a great time with Andre and Bessie and they were very accommodating. It rained all week and as a result we spent quite a lot of time at the guest house. We were very satisfied with the accommodation and the facilities. The guest house is not recommended for people who are in wheelchairs or have difficulty walking or climbing stairs.

Where your soul automatically finds rest with an incredible view.
Albatros is the perfect guest house where you will be assured of rest for your soul with the beautiful interior, view and professionalism of everyone who works there. The view from your room or large balcony is wonderful until you smell the delicious food smells coming from downstairs for breakfast. Thank you very much Albatros and LekkeSlaap for your service. We will certainly use you again.

Thee guests arrived at our gate at 11:50 in the morning and expected to be checked in, despite knowing that no arrival or check in is allowed before 14:00 as the rooms are being serviced after guests checked out earlier. They were then requested to come back later but elected to make themselves at home in our braai area to have a brought-with meal which made us feel very uncomfortable.
The next morning they were first down for breakfast and after finishing their meal, sat at their table until the kitchen closed. This happened almost every morning. During the same time other guests were waiting to be seated.
When they eventually left their table on the first morning it was noticed by staff members, that they stopped at the kitchen counter and helped themselves to fruit which was not part of the buffet or breakfast and took it to their room.
Ignoring clear notices that only staff members are allowed in the kitchen they used the kitchen on more than one occasion and even went so far as going into the scullery and used the work surface to prepare/share their meals. When the notices were finally brought to their attention in an amiable manner, a mood change was clearly evident. The husband stopped responding to our morning greetings and only spoke to us when absolutely necessary.
During breakfast on the 2nd last morning of their stay, the wife indicated that they would like to check out at 03:00 the next morning as they like driving during the early hours of the morning. They were then informed that due to our security system it would only be possible to check out at 05:00 at the earliest as we only get to bed after 23:00 at night and have to deactivate the security system before they could leave.
They earlier booked the braai for their last evening but cancelled it that morning as they were going to dine out. They went out late afternoon, came back with take-away food and instead of using other available table/s, then proceeded to occupy the braai area so that no one else could use it.
On the morning of their departure the security system was disarmed at about 04:30. They came down the staircase at about 04:50 ignoring our good wishes for the road and drove away.
