89 guests' feedbackAbelia Place is located close to the WPCC, which was very convenient for us. Our stay was comfortable and Joy and Mike were great hosts - they accommodated us in every way. The tray breakfast was perfect and we would definitely stay there again if we need to be in the area for school sport.
Very pleasant stay. Room was warm, neat and comfortable. Wonderful hosts, fabulous breakfast every morning. Will definitely stay there again on my next visit to Cape Town.
It was easy to find, and the hosts were very friendly.
Booked this place on behalf of a running friend of mine who needed accommodation close to Two Oceans ultra start. Feedback was that Abelia Place was just what they needed and they really enjoyed their stay. They enjoyed the breakfast every morning and liked the small kitchenette where they were able to prepare their own lunch and dinner. Hosts were very friendly and helpful.
Breakfast is good. Safety is excellent.
Wonderful place, safe, thank you.
We had a very nice stay. Breakfast was included and was very tasty. Thank you.
The owners were hospitable, welcoming and the most amazing people, and the breakfast was awesome. That's all that matters away from home.
Well received by the hosts with proper explanation of all the facilities. Large room with plenty of table and packing space. Good supply of hot water. Quiet neighbourhood.
Excellent value. Enjoyed our stay.
Good. Comfortable. Affordable.
I had a great stay. A cozy hideout in an otherwise busy city. I enjoyed the breakfast, and the hosts were kind and very helpful. Unfortunately, I had to leave earlier than planned, but I am glad that I had the chance to stay here.
The accommodation was comfortable, and the hosts were pleasant people. Occasional problems that I reported were resolved quickly. The location of the accommodation was convenient for the amenities that I needed. There was limited parking space, but we were able to work around that with goodwill. The property did not have a security gate, but this did not worry me; I took it as a sign that this was a safe area.
I had no problem.
Very lovely and homey. Location is peaceful and safe. We had a great time and owners were kind and welcoming. Breakfast was delightful.
Yes had a very nice stay.
Very peaceful and pleasant with the most gracious hosts. Breakfast served to your room every morning in a tray was delicious.
It was very good for the price. WiFi internet was just awfully slow, but so was the phone's data itself, so not sure if it's just the area. The blinds in the kitchen cannot close completely, so someone can easily gain access and peek in from the outside, as there is also no gate at the entrance, therefore only 3 stars for safety.
Very pleasant and quiet.
We thought we had booked a room with a seat in the garden, but were initially given another room. Luckily it could be exchanged. However, both rooms smell very stale, probably because of the carpeting. The further hygiene also leaves much to be desired. The owners were friendly. Had breakfast was good.
We stayed over a weekend and were very well looked after by Mike and Joy. From the lovely breakfasts to their welcoming chats, we felt very looked after. The space is perfectly laid out with all the necessary amenities and at a very reasonable price. We definitely recommend it for future guests.
Our hosts was very hospitable. Breakfast was awesome!
The owners are amazing, very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.
It was what we expected.
Everything as desired, but the beds need attention.
The space was perfect for our stay. Comfortable and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and a good breakfast. Great value.
Everything was on point.
The room and stay provided what I needed for a short visit.
Quiet and safe neighborhood. Mike and Joy were excellent hosts who served a fantastic breakfast. Room is spacious, beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Thanks for the special roasted coffee, it was delicious!
The hosts were great and the breakfast was delicious.
Aunty Joy was very welcoming and so friendly and Uncle Mike brought me breakfast every morning for the duration of my stay. They were there, but gave me space and privacy which is what I liked.
Nice stay, close to hospital, friendly people.
The neighborhood is nice and quiet. Parking space is a bit small. The room is tidy, equipped with Wi-Fi (which works) and DSTV with all channels (none of my 'favorite' sports missed).
I love you Aunty Joy. My fairy godparents. I loved every second of my stay, thanks.
As mentioned above, fantastic service. Thank you very much.
The accommodation and location suited me perfectly as it was within walking distance of my sisters place. It was a very comfortable stay.
Excellent host and hostess very helpful and concerned about their guests.
My daughter and I, who had to come for a ballet audition at Cape Town City Ballet, found Abelia Place very cute. It's a spacious room with 2 single beds pushed against each other, small kitchen, large bathroom, nicely open exterior door. The welcome was very friendly, thank you Joy, and they also brought us delicious breakfast buns the next morning before 6 o'clock to take with us to the airport. Thanks for that. A few comments maybe: Joy said there is hot water for the shower, but I left it running for quite a while with no success, so maybe you could just look into that and maybe put in a gas geyser instead please. I personally also think it would be nice to see photos or paintings of the Cape on the walls, which puts you in the excitement and mood of the Cape for your stay. We didn't need closets for our clothes for the one night, but I see there is a small hanging closet and chest of drawers, so I don't know if it's enough for a long stay, but Joy will make a plan. I also want to say that at night Joy can hear them talking in their house and in the morning as well since only one door separates the house from the room. I suggest maybe hanging a thick rug on either side of the door to muffle sound more, but it wasn't too disturbing. It was wonderfully close to everything, even eating places down the street, the Ballet Studios 3 km away and the Ballet shop also about 3 km away. We even had time to drive 6-8 to the Waterfront and enjoy the culture in the beautiful quiet afternoon at the harbor. Thank you Joy we definitely recommend your place and will possibly stay there again if we have to come. Blessings.
Visit was nice, guests can pay a little more attention to small things.
Its locality for our purpose was excellent.
Everyone's taste is different, but what we can say is breakfast is a plus, freshly ground coffee is also a plus. The spacious garden apartment is certainly a plus point as well as the extra help and care of the owners.
Abelia is quite central and very quiet and tidy.
The owners were very friendly, met our needs and even went beyond by customising breakfast to my son's likes. That was a bonus. The place is very spacious, felt very homey and the beds were comfortable. I will certainly be staying over there next time I am in Cape Town.
We were most surprised when we were told the beds are not made over weekends as the housekeeper does not work weekends. We assume this applied to the cleaning of the B&B too.
There are many things that were unacceptable to me. Firstly, there was no safe parking for my car, and the badly lifted bricks in the driveway are quite alarming. The room was incredibly hot and stuffy and smelled very badly of cigarette smoke. There was no fan or air con. There was also no toilet paper, and the toilet water was brown and had a smell that caused the smell to linger in the room all the time. The bedding was also yellow in color and had long seen its days. I stayed a week, but nowhere was there room to unpack my groceries, with the result that I had to live out of my shopping bags. Because the room adjoins the house, one can hear every word spoken there and early in the morning the noise has already started. The advertisement says the institution is 3 km from UCT which is not the case, it is much further. I checked some of the previous guests' reviews, and most complain about the same things, but I can see that no one is making an effort to improve it.
Had a fantastic stay. Joy and Mike were fantastic hosts.
We had a lovely stay. Spacious room and bathroom and it was wonderful to have breakfast in the room every morning!
Located in Rondebosch, it was very easy to find from the airport and just what we needed for our one night short stay. A nice sized room. The owner was very helpful (we only arrived around 23:00) and nice filling breakfast served to us in our room. If we need to be in that area again, we will stay again.
I would actually come back on some time for holidays the place was good.
Neat, with everything you need. We were warmly welcomed and the breakfast was delicious.
Host was very friendly. It was close to our destination.
Was not welcomed. Place smelled of smoke. There was no remote for the TV. The crockery in the kitchen old and not tidy.
There was no security for our car. The room smelled a bit stuffy. Some of the crockery in the kitchen was chipped and odd.
Good location and room has all the necessary facilities. Nice big bathroom and room.
Owners were always hospitable, friendly and helpful. Breakfast delicious. We would just suggest they do something about the driveway as there are many stones being pushed up by the roots of the trees.
We had a very nice stay. Very friendly service. Quiet atmosphere with the beautiful garden. Very neat and clean. We will definitely visit there again.
It was close to where we needed to be.
Our accommodation was very comfortable. Affordable and nice people. Will definitely go back.
Comfortable,clean and value for money. The location is central and it's easy to get to the city. Friendly hosts who will assist with all your needs.
Our hosts made us feel welcome and from the onset settled. Breakfast were made by Mike personally and most enjoyable. I would recommend a stay by them anytime to all my friends. Hope to see them soon again. Thank you Joy and Mike for your kindness and assistance.
On arrival at the B&B, we got a friendly welcome. The room was beautifully laid out. Everything was in its place. The room was big enough for the two of us. The B&B is central and close to the necessary facilities. I will recommend Abelia Place to anyone looking for accommodation.
The parking was difficult. A bigger car will struggle. The security won't be enough over time. Otherwise we had a good stay. Worth the money.
Joy is a friendly, chatty hostess who personally brings you breakfast with a cheery "Good morning!" Nicely situated in the well established suburb of Rondebosch, nestled in the shadow of the mountain, with easy access to the main routes to the city centre and other places. There could be some improvements which I am personally going to send to her.
This is a quiet and homely place, which is more like a spare room than an established B&B. The accommodation was comfortably and cost effective, yet overall not a traditional B&B experience one would be normally be used to.
Felt uneasy about security - rickety gate on stable door with glass panel. No gate to secure driveway and premises. Towels were stained and had unpleasant odour.
Joy was incredibly helpful and went out of her way to make our time there comfortable. The breakfast was incredibly tasty and top notch, and so big that sometimes we couldn't finish it! You get much more than what you pay for. Our room was made tidy every day and if we needed something we could just ask. We will definitely stay there again if we come to the Cape again and highly recommend them. The location was also perfect as it was out of the traffic and in the middle of most of the attractions. Very neat and clean.
Joy and Mike Smith are wonderful hosts. Everything was clean and efficient. 5 star treatment. Would highly recommend them to anybody travelling to Cape Town.
I would like if the menu can be discussed for the holiday member.
Friendly host and hostess. Nice stay!
Close to UCT medical campus which made it very convenient for me. Great value for money and Mike was a great host. Will definitely visit them again.
The cutlery and mugs were not clean. I am a non-smoker. The guest before me clearly smoked as you could smell it distinctly. I also found a saucer full of ash. I will not go back and not recommend it to others. One day they removed the towels to wash them and didn't bring them back.
Joy was very welcoming and helpful. Mike cooked delicious breakfasts!
Hosts Joy and Mike are simply wonderful. The accommodation offered is very comfortable, with a spacious bedroom, kitchen, bathroom and ample off street parking. One feels entirely at home - secure, central to all attractions and breakfast is delicious! Thank you for making my stay wonderful - I'll be back :)
The accommodation was central. Joy and Mike put in a lot of effort. Thanks for that.
Great value for money. Great hosts!
Very pleasant place to stay with everything that any other accommodation will offer you. Would recommend to anyone who wants to feel like they are at home. Very peaceful, friendly people, helpful and everything you need; no shortcomings.
Joy and Mike go out of their way to make the stay as pleasant as possible without impeding your privacy. Very good value for money. The beds are of very good quality, which is a very big plus.
Nice central place. Needs a fan and some mosqueto protection for this time of the year.
Very considerate and helpful. We had everything we needed, everything was clean and tidy. Thank you very much, we will go back.
The accommodation was very comfortable and the owners very friendly. The only thing I would have liked would be a small outside area/patio but otherwise it was great.
Please see the stars.
Felt at home while away from home. Joy was fantastic and a good guide as well. The Smith family are awesome.
Abelia Place is close to everything, the area and quiet, all in all great value for money and I will most definitely use their services in future again and I will recommend it to someone else as well.
Awesome please to stay. Very friendly hosts
We had a wonderful stay at Abelia Place, the service was excellent,very peaceful with a lovely garden and the breakfast is a killer. Thank you so much Joy & Mike, we will definitely return someday!! Regards, Bonita & Manuel.
Centrally located in a very quiet area.
Perfectly situated for our purposes. Hosts are very friendly and helpful.
Cape Winter weather is never pleasant. Abelia provided a cosy, accessible and comfortable retreat from the cold and the rain. It's extremely reasonable whilst offering good value for money.
