I was only looking for a convenient place to sleep while attending a conference in Cape Town. My friend Eva, who normally lives in Cape Town (and should return as soon as possible) recommended Avatara.- there was no need to look anywhere else. The location is fabulous and apart from being extremely efficient, host Cher made a tired guest feel... More

This is my first review on trip advisor, and I am a firm believer in saving reviews for experiences that must be shared. We stayed at Avatara Guest House for seven days, and had an absolutely unforgettable experience here. Even prior to our arrival, Cher demonstrated incredible hospitality through providing detailed advice on sites to see in Cape Town, making... More

Avatara B&B is located in Green Point, which is a 10 minute walk from the Waterfront and generally a good location. The B&B is clean and Cher, the host, is very helpful. Our room was on the ground floor and adjacent to the kitchen/breakfast room, making it noisy early in the morning and there was only one (very small) window... More

Hi Marlise Thank you for taking the time to write a review for Avatara. We appreciate feedback very much, however, when public it can be detrimental to one's business... but anyway I think your honesty will simply decrease expectations and hopefully not bookings. However, in my defence may I please point out that the difference in price for the upstairs... More

Avatara is a perfect B&B. I highly recommend that anyone visiting Cape Town stay here. The location is walking distance from the waterfront. Green point is a very familiar location with taxi drivers so getting there is not difficult. A ride to Long street is about 30 rand. The guesthouse itself is gorgeous with a greenhouse-inspired kitchen. My one recommendation... More

Cher at Avatara Guest House is absolutely wonderful. We stayed at Avatara for 2 weeks during the World Cup in June/July 2010. She is extremely knowledgeable about the surrounding areas and gave us great advice as to where to go and things to do. The guest house is about 2 blocks from Green Point Stadium. It's on a quiet street... More

Visiting South Africa was a trip of a lifetime for me. I am 67 years of age and was accompanied by my son, who did all the organising. Cape Town was our first stop and we were there 5 nights. I was a bit concerned about a few things, particularly safety and thought it may be best to stay in... More

I loved the set-up of the rooms: very chic, very clean and felt like I was in a 5 star hotel. Cher was a great hostess and ready to provide advice and guidance on what to do in this beautiful city. Great restaurants and shopping within walking distance. This quaint gem is situated in the heart of the city and... More

I just came back from a wonderful 3-night stay at Avatara. Avatara is ideally located in Green Point, right in the middle of everything in Cape Town, and Cher is a fantastic host. She offerred great suggestions for activities (thanks for insisting on the Cape Point tour!) and bars and restaurants, and made all arrangements. The house is beautifully renovated,... More

I stay at Avatara frequently when in Cape Town on business. The guest house is conveniently located in the heart of Cape Town with easy access to the Waterfront, CBD and major freeways. Nightlife and restaurants are plentiful within short walking distance. The rooms are pleasantly decorated with a Zen influence providing a quiet escape from the bustle of the... More
