I loved my stay here. Right from explaining the load shedding timings to such a great hospitable staff. Rosé, Elizabeth and Maria were very kind to us. The parking was safe, the security was great and what a lovely breakfast! The rooms were very spacious with a balcony overlooking the lagoon with beautiful colourful trees in between. Very pleasant and calm place to be. Pro tip: food can be delivered for dinner from outside but do it at 7pm already. Things shut down very early here.

Classy place, beautifully decorated, wonderful views, amazing food and attention to detail is incredible. However the winner here are the staff and hosts at Villa Afrikana. They are exceptional. They are the warmest, most helpful and attentive we have ever experienced. They preempted possible consequences of our late arrival and prompted a booking in a great restaurant for us. They arranged anything we needed and couldn’t have been kinder.

The host was very kind and as we came here on 2 special occasions (honeymoon and birthday), we even got upgraded to a beautiful big room. The room facilities were clean, comfortable and just top level. We were asked to fill in a short survey to make the breakfast fit us best, which we really loved! The room also had a balcony oveviewing the lagoon, and breakfast was superb. Would come back any time, great value for money!

    Wow, what a place. The interior design is fantastic, and it backs onto a beautiful lake, where you can enjoy excellent food and drinks and watch the sun set in peace. Truly a special place and we wished we could have stayed far longer than our one night! There are great little boutique shops around also, and two delicious breakfast options accessible if you pay for breakfast.
