An African Villa Cape Town is a boutique guesthouse housed in three Victorian terraced houses located in the historic suburb of Oranjezicht, one of Cape Town's oldest and most charming suburbs. This enchanting property offers five-star service at three-star prices, thanks to the dedicated owner-hosts, Jimmy, Louis, Cindy, and Keith.
Nestled in City Bowl – a natural amphitheatre-shaped area bordered by Table Bay and defined by the mountains of Signal Hill, Lion's Head, Table Mountain and Devil's Peak – An African Villa is 25 km from Cape Town International Airport. The hotel is situated in Tamboerskloof, one of the original colonial-era residential suburbs on the slopes of Signal Hill, within walking distance of the city center's restaurants and bars.
The guest rooms at An African Villa feature air conditioning, flat-screen satellite TVs, and facilities for making hot drinks. Some rooms boast furnished balconies offering views of the quiet street, while others have Juliet balconies with mountain views. The impressive Platinum room, located on the second floor, is their best category, definitely worth the extra if available.
Guests can enjoy the complimentary cold buffet featuring fruit salad, yoghurts, cereals, and a daily changing choice of cold meats, avo slices, or quiche. The shared dining room and kitchen welcome guests to use these facilities, and lovely extras like afternoon cake and help-yourself sherry and port in the lounge make your stay memorable.
An African Villa's exceptional guest comfort goes beyond mere accommodation needs. The owner-hosts arrange good restaurants, transfers, and tours, ensuring a truly personalized experience. Guests can also use the small outdoor courtyard with a plunge pool and striped lounge chairs, surrounded by leafy tropical trees.
