I stayed here 6 nights off and on in three differrent rooms. The rooms are large, quiet and with good beds and reasonably priced. The hosts are most helpful. pleasant and the breakfast delicious. What more does one need.

We booked the Afon Grove for our first 4 nights in South Africa for exploring the Cape Town area. It is a lovely spot, set in 2 acres of gardens, The rooms are nice and very spacious with their own fridge which is useful so you can have fresh milk with your tea! Very relaxed and friendly. The owner, Chris,... More

We were greeted by Chris, and he informed us that we had been upgraded, due to it being our 25th wedding anniversary, and we had the honeymoon suite. That alone was enough for us to feel special and welcome, but what followed over the next 3 days 'bowled us over'. Chris is a birdwatcher, he knew we were too, and... More

We stayed at the above guest house during our stay in Cape Town. We were extremely happy with the accommodation. Large rooms with king size bed, comfortable chairs for two people, but rather small bathroom. The room was very nicely decorated, and had a fridge with an honesty bar. The breakfasts were very good, wide selection including continental breakfast and... More

We reached Afton Grove as wary clients but, within only minutes, were greeted by Chris and Louise, made to feel most welcome and, during our ten-day stay, were treated as though we had known each other for years. Our whole stay was 4-thumbs up! The... More

Not only did we have resident birds of prey in the gardens, but Chris, the host, a keen twitcher, was happy to give us fellow birders his superb local insights. The rooms were beautiful, the staff very friendly, and we were treated to delicious... More

I recently headed down to Cape Town on a business trip in Hout Bay and originally being from Cape Town knew that I didn’t want to stay somewhere with hectic traffic. Instead I stayed in the deep south of Noordehoek and what a great choice that was! I decided on Afton Grove after reading up about them previously and was... More

I have stayed at lots of lodges, hotels and guesthouses all over Africa and Afton Grove is without doubt my favourite place. It is simply impossible to fault. Chris and Louise have thought of everything - the various accommodations are all superb, the food and wine list excellent, and the team always friendly and willing to help. On top of... More

We stayed at the Afton Grove for 5 nights and used as a base to explore Cape Town and the surrounding region. It was wonderful to get back and always be greeted in such a friendly manner. Thankyou for making it a home away from home Chris. I shall be back in 2013 - specially now that you have me... More
