With so many excellent reviews, I expected this place to be perfect. It is not. Of course, the building is beautiful and impressive. And the swimming pool is amazing. I had a room upstairs overlooking the garden with a balcony facing a bit of the ocean... and overlooking the car park next door. The room itself was nice but basic... More

We are thankful for every useful comment and hint here in order to improve our service in this guesthouse but for some of these touched problems we do not find a solution so far. That is the view onto a parking slot next door from our 2 front rooms which offer a nice balcony. Yes, apart from overlooking our pool... More

We needed a place to stay one night for a concert at Greenpoint and AfricanHome was the perfect choice. Ralf Fiedler was an excellent host and immediately makes one feel at home. The rooms have all the luxuries - aircon, wifi, heated towel rails etc. The location is superb because even though you're in the heart of Seapoint it is... More

Our hosts were simply fantastic and we could not have wished for a better place to stay here in Cape Town. The location is central and safe, restaurants, supermarkets and seafront within 5 minutes' walk. The room at the top of the property with a balcony had ample sunshine and despite its central location, it was quiet. Breakfast was extensive,... More

We were very happy with our choice of African Home. It is a fairly new guesthouse in a quiet street in Sea Point, a short walk from the beach front. The historic house is very nicely decorated, clean and run by two German gentlemen who are friendly and helpful and make every effort to ensure their guests feel comfortable and... More

Perhaps it is the wonderful house with its beautiful rooms, terraces and its cozy atmosphere, perhaps the kindness of the staff, always endeavouring to leave nothing to be desired, but probably, above all, it is the amazing hospitality and helpfulness of the two charming owners that makes the African Home to a place you never want to leave. It has... More

My sister and I stayed here for 5 nights in January and we had a wonderful experience. The hosts took excellent care of us and had great recommendations about restaurants and activities. Our room was beautiful and the location of the guesthouse was perfect, central but peaceful, an easy walk to restaurants or the beach. I would recommend this guesthouse... More

AfricanHome was recommended to us by a trusted friend, so in addition to looking forward to escaping the winter for a few days, we could not wait to see the much-talked-about place ! Turns out that Ralf and Stephan have done an amazing job in creating a “home away from home” not only by re-furbishing and decorating the property, using... More

Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts, offering to carry our bags from the car to booking a restaurant or giving advice on where to eat and drink. Our room was spotlessly clean with wonderful views over Seapoint. The bed was very comfortable with quality linen. The pool area is a real delight, with areas of both shade and... More
