    Nothing but I’m not sure the venue does breakfast as the listing says something about Breakfast.

    The view was beautiful and it was very cosy. It was very close to all the suburban spots - Muizenberg/ Hout bay etc . Loved the view!! Sunset and Sunrises were beautiful. Andre was great and check in and out were super easy!

    It is a very cosy apartment, just need a bit of upgrade on furniture. (Older items)

    It has the most beautiful view of Simon’s Town harbour and the whole False Bay.

    Just be aware that downtown is 2 km away. A car is very useful to drive up and down.

    The view from the terrace on Simonstown's harbour is exceptional. The house itself is very comfortable and well equiped: 2 rooms with their own bathroom. Ideal to accomodate a family of 4. Cape sugarbirds in the garden. Free parking in front of the house. Nice restaurants on the waterfront.

    Sink did have a plug but did not fit. Unit needs some new utensils i.e. grater. No DSTV although advertised in booklet.

    Great location, beautiful views over the harbour and bay. Near the museums, restaurants. Safe location.

    This is not specific to Albatross House - however due to security reasons we had to lock the apartment and garden twice from the 'inside' which we as Europeans are simply not used to... also: beware of Baboons when driving slowly, having your window open and food inside the car... ;)

    Albatross House offered us with an amazing apartment including all necessary facilities and comfort we were looking for ! What was special was the breathtaking view across False Bay and Simons Town harbour from up above due to the higher up location of the apartment and the three balconies in front of each of the bed rooms as well as the living room! Our host Andre was extremely welcoming, always easy to get in touch with and hands-on. He also went out of his way to help us after we had forgotten our iPad in the apartment!

    Not much to complain about really. You should be aware that the property is on a fairly steep hillside and there are a few steep steps down from the road to the flat. Also the cleaner entered the property in the morning unexpectedly (at least for us). Wasn't really a problem, just a bit surprising that suddenly there was somebody in the flat. :-)

    Great location with a wonderful view, well appointed flat with everything you could possibly need and nice modern bathrooms. Good wifi reception and TV complete with Netflix access. Check in was easy and the owner even sent a video explaining exactly how to access the property as we were arriving late. The property also felt very safe.

    The internet was a bit slow and unstable. An iron and an ironing board could have been helpful. A cheese grater would round off an excellent stocked kitchen.

    The location and views were exceptional! The apartments were amazing!

    Baboons raiding the houses in the morning and stole some food from the neighbours. Please make sure you shut all the doors!

    Million dollar view from a huge balcony, comfortable bedrooms each with an ensuite, large lounge room and a full kitchenette. The host was amazing, gave us lots of useful info and recommendations. We left a shirt behind when checked out, and the host rang us straight away and arranged to have the shirt dropped off to us while we were still in the neighbourhood. Can’t fault this place, 10/10 and one of the best stays in South Africa!
