Owners Louis and Jimmy are clearly very knowledgeable and professional, and made sure we were well taken care of in every way - F&B recommendations, places to visit and shops that we would find interesting, and a whole lot of other advice. Took care of restaurant reservations for us, alerting us to their wake-up call service, providing us their choice... More

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... More

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...

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... More

From the moment we walked into the hotel we felt welcome. Cindy, Keith Jimmy and Louis are warm and extraordinarily helpful hosts. They are a wealth of information and patiently gave us driving directions, restaurant suggestions, wineland tour ideas, safety tips as well as making dinner reservations, calling taxis and booking tours. Think of the best concierge and that is... More

- biggest plus point: service incl. all the personalized suggestions and information (about town, activities, restaurants, etc.) given by the owners; also service by the rest of the staff is personal and very welcoming - quietly located; the uptown area (where many nice restaurants are located) is easily accessible by foot even at night; one should have a car though...

My fiancé and I stayed here for 4 nights over the Xmas period. We were blown away by the amazing service and attention to detail provided by the staff. Cindy and Keith were the perfect hosts and couldn't have been more helpful; they are such genuine lovely people! We only met Louis (one of the other proprietors) briefly before we... More
