“What a Gem of a place in Cape town! The room is absolutely beautiful.”

We stayed here for the last couple of days of our honeymoon and it was perfect. beautiful views of the mountains and a great pool and seating area outside. Perfect Perfect place for couples! We did find Jennifer’s place a bit far from central Cape Town about a 30-35 min drive into town, but if your looking to explore Muizenberg and Fish Hoek area this would be the place for you. We would definitely recommend this place its very clean the bed is very comfortable. A great place to stay to end off your trip and get some RnR before getting on a long plane ride home.

Thanks for hosting us Jennifer it was fantastic.

“Loved our stay – cozy, comfortable, modern, affordable, safe and convenient.”

Everything you’d want in a place to stay. We were doing seal and shark dives in false bay and also wanted to explore the vineyards and cape town. We picked African Violet because its pretty central to all that we wanted to do. Throughout our stay we realized that IT’S VERY central to everything. Not really more than a 30 min drive or less to all the areas we wanted to visit.

We stayed in the design studio and it was just perfect. You can tell they made a lot of the modern finishings themselves which I really loved. Its not over decorated with knick-nacks – its clean and simple – an it makes you feel…. just chilled out. It felt very personal. The room had all the amenities we needed and the view from the little patio was great – overlooking the coast and the mountains. We had our own private parking behind the gate with a remote which was nice too. I felt so safe that I could have slept with the windows open.

Needless to say our suitcases were getting a bit “gamey” lol. Jenny arranged for our laundry to be dropped off and washed and folded for us at a local launders. We of course paid of this to be done but I really thought that was super – no washing two suitcases full when we got home. Well worth it!

The village of Capri in Noordhoek is a lovely clean suburb, close to malls, Kalk Bay, Cape Point Vineyards and Kommetjie. We loved this loft apartment - private entrance and very spacious with superb views at sunset. I would love to return.

A lovely stay After a Long flight it was heaven to arrive at African Violet. We had all we needed inclusive our own terrace with a fantastic view. Our welcome by Jennifer was very friendly. We had very relaxing days to prepare for our travel afterwards.

Fabulous stay We stayed here in January, it was fabulous. The pool was lovely and the views spectacular, particularly enjoyed watching the sun go down over the waves. The kitchen was very well equipped, the bed was very comfortable. Everything was clean. Great bathroom, the shower was incredible. It was very quiet and peaceful in and around the apartment and we visited some great places. The Food Barn was amazing, Cape Point Vineyards a real treat. Both very close by. We also visited Tryn at Steenberg, a little further out, but worth it. Great place to stay.

1000000/10 My stay at the African Violet was absolutely magical! The jacuzzi bath, the shower, the bed! It was all perfect! And with the pool i swam from the minute i woke up to the night. The area is safe and whatever we needed, we could just ubereats. Jennifer is an amazing hostess! She welcomed us in warmly! And with us being two girls, we definitely felt safe knowing she is a call away. The villa itself is so private and was worth every penny, and Im looking forward to booking again🥹

Little peace of heaven! We had the most wonderful 2-day stay at African Violet – a perfect escape from the city while still being in the city! The gardens are lush, the views are breathtaking, and the suites are beautifully decorated, private, and incredibly comfortable. The Jacuzzi was the cherry on top! Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a peaceful break without going far. We’ll definitely be back!

Lovely stay & hospitality! We came to the area for 1 night and loved this location. Great views and hospitality! Clean, comfortable room, and great base for a self-catered stay.
