We stayed 4 nights at An African Villa in the beginning of our 2 week trip to South Africa. The 1st 2 nights we had no car, and picked up a hired car (Avis is a ~30 rand taxi ride away) for the other 2 nights. Parking on the the street was not an issue, and the location made driving... more

After reading all of the glowing reviews, we did not hesitate to book our 6 day visit to Cape Town at An African Villa. We were not disappointed.

My wife & I spent four nights at An African Villa as part of a short stay in the cape. We booked it based on recommendations in TripAdvisor, which I've found to be a bit hit and miss previously, but this was a big hit. The location is great, in a quiet residential district in a safe area in the... more

We stayed for four nights in two different rooms. It is a superb place to stay and an ideal base for exploring Cape Town and the region. The friendliness, hospitality, breakfasts and style were all first class. The hotel is situated in easy reach of the City (10-15 minutes walk), the Kloof Street cafes and restaurants and Table Mountain (10... more

I found it difficult at first to understand why An African Villa so appealed to me, yes its clean, nicely decorated, good breakfast, cheerful helpful staff and owners, cute dogs etc etc.....but it was more than this........then I realised that each time we returned after a full day out it felt like coming home. Not sure what it was, the... more

Our room ( platinum level) was ready for us for early check in..the room was spacious, the bed was comfortable and we had both bath and shower.... more

We stayed at an African Villa for 3 nights in October 2009. They were very booked up during the time - even though it wasn't yet peak season and I booked way ahead (note - book well in advance!) so we had to move rooms once. Upon arrival they had upgraded us to a gold room yet charged us for... more

Nice place, but don't get the fuss with all the positive reviews. We stayed in many nice places during our stay in Cape Town, Stellenbosch and Hermanus, this is simply just another one... more
