We stayed at An African Villa for 4 nights at the beginning of October which was an amazing start to our 3 week honeymoon in South Africa. As soon as we walked into the lounge and Cindy welcomed us with an exceptionally thorough tour of the house and Cape Town orientation, I was delighted with my decision to book independently... more

What a gem.

An African Villa lives up to all the reviews and more. We had a bronze room (the cheapest) which was extremely comfortable and well appointed. The bathroom was modern and spotlessly clean. The decor is superb and everything about the B & B is great. Breakfast is the best we had in all our travels and is served by wonderful... more

The previous reviews say it all really. From the moment we walked through the door late at night to the moment we checked out we had a fantastic stay. The staff are really friendly and super efficient, the place is beautifully decorated and there are so many lovely touches to make you feel right at home, from the free port... more

As all the other reviews said this is a very nice guest house on a quiet street and near good restaurants. However, the staff is the shining star here and are very nice people from the office staff to the household staff. We stayed for five nights and enjoyed our stay. Parking is on street and safe and the location... more

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. The personal attention you receive by the entire staff is outstanding. They have made good service their prority. The location is ideal for visiting restaurants, shopping, tours etc. Another perk was the... more

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
