Alba House Bed & Breakfast

Set on the slopes of Paarl Nature Reserve in the Cape Winelands. Alba House sits among wine farms with views over the Berg River Valley toward the Klein Drakensberg Mountains. A short drive puts you at Laborie Wine Farm, the Afrikaans Language Monument and KWV Wine Emporium. Golf and polo are minutes away at Boschenmeer, Pearl Valley and Val de Vie, and Cape Town International Airport is reachable by road in around 40 minutes.

This 4‑star bed & breakfast has just four individually decorated rooms. Rooms feature memory‑foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, private patios or outside seating, refrigerators and flat‑screen TVs. Bathrooms include rainfall showerheads and complimentary toiletries. The property feels like a boutique wine‑country escape — think vineyard views, huge salt‑water pool and terraces tucked into the slopes. Rooms convert from king to twins, so it works for couples or friends traveling together.

Take a dip in the big salt‑water outdoor pool or relax in the indoor pool. Rent a bike to explore nearby vineyards or stroll the garden and terraces. Mingle at the daily complimentary reception and let the concierge book wine tours, hikes or local excursions. Family‑friendly touches include a children's playroom, a library, a bowling club area and a BBQ spot. Free parking is available and a shuttle service operates for a surcharge.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet keeps you connected. Featured services include limo/town car service, express check‑in and check‑out, and roundtrip airport or cruise‑terminal shuttles available for a surcharge.

Start each day with a complimentary full breakfast served daily in the morning. A snack bar/deli is on site, plus a restaurant and bar for relaxed meals and evening drinks. Located in the heart of wine country, the dining leans on Cape Winelands flavors and easy access to nearby wine estates for tastings and leisurely lunches.
