What a wonderful place !!!! I know Cape Town by now, but really a fantastic place to stay. In the middle of the wine farms and golf courses, everything a man wants ! We have stayed at Albourne with 4 friends for over a week and had the time of our live. Played some serious golf at Erinvale, where Albourne has some business memberships, Arabella and Stellenbosch. Large rooms, great eggs made by owner Joop and spacious garden. What a trip, thanks Joop and Trudy!
