We spent a week at An African Villa which is perfectly situation in Tamboerskloof so in the city bowl which gives you easy access to the city, the Water Front, and to get up Table Mountain. The rooms are a really nice size particularly for people like us as we have huge amount of luggage. The people who run An African Villa are charming, easy to talk to, and give great advice on restaurants and what to do. The breakfasts which are included in the tariff are delicious and service, excellent. Its a lovely setting with a small swimming pool outside for breakfast or if the weather is inclement, a good setting inside the house. If you hire a car, there is permanent security guard who patrols the street. So its really safe.

The owners Jimmy, Louis, Cindy and Keith are always there taking care of us. We stayed there over new year's holidays for seven nights. Our room was at the ground floor facing the street, and it was very quiet, no noise at all. The Villa is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and has a beautiful interior design. In the back there is a little pool and backyard, where breakfast was served.
We didn't rent a car, but we were able to walk to many atractions and restaurants nearby(sometimes not so near), always following their directions.
It was a great experience and we will definetely stay there again when we return to this wonderful city.

Our place of choice was chosen by trip advisor “An African Villa” as our accommodations in Capetown for one week. My wife and I are very particular and wondered if we shouldn’t be staying at one of the expensive waterfront hotels.
We had a wonderful surprise and experience at the “African Villa”! Along with the best of care, the accommodations were great and the location was perfect. All four owners combined were the best concierge to date as they handled every request expertly and pleasantly. Dining suggestions were efficiently followed by reservations. Suggestions and guidance were given to ensure the most enjoyable visit to the cape region.

Our 5 nights there were perfect for seeing the area. Our hosts, Cindy, Keith Jimmy and Louis were so helpful. At every turn they all the information we needed. They had great restaurant suggestions, and made the reservations. It is located in a quiet residential neighborhood, which was ideal for taking walks and a short distance from excellent restaurants. The breakfasts were great with plenty of good food. Snacks/drinks were available 24 hrs. via the honor system. Complimentary carafes of Port, Brandy, etc. were available every evening in the nicely appointed public areas. They coordinated our travels with Steven Lake, a wonderful guide of the area. Computers were available, as well as wi-fi. We found this gem through Mills Africa Travel of Lynnwood, WA (mamaafrica27@ gmail.com)
