Good situation close to town and beaches. The Albatros is amongst the very best B & Bs we have stayed in during many visits to SA. We were given an exceptionally warm welcome and that atmosphere lasted during the length of our stay. Andre and Bessie are the best types of hosts, friendly, informative without being overbearing with a good... More

Really comfortable, spacious rooms with a great view of the ocean. Owners and staff were really friendly and accommodating. Breakfast time is beautiful, tables are placed near the pool which also has an ocean view. After seeing the other accomodation available in margate, we would only ever stay here if we were to return.
