Abelia Place

Safe, convenient and neat.

Abelia 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.

Friendly hosts, excellent service and value for money.

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.

Peaceful.

It was easy to find, and the hosts were very friendly.

Nice and peaceful place.

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.

Good and convenient location close to waterfront.

Breakfast is good. Safety is excellent.

Nice place.

Wonderful place, safe, thank you.

Baie lekker. Dankie.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Ontbyt was ingesluit en was baie lekker. Dankie.

Excellent value for cost.

Excellent value. Enjoyed our stay.

Very nice.

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.

Comfortable unit, pleasant hosts, occasional problems solved quickly.

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.

Worth it.

Very lovely and homey. Location is peaceful and safe. We had a great time and owners were kind and welcoming. Breakfast was delightful.

Uitstekende waarde vir geld.

Ja het baie lekker gebly.

Very pleasant.

Very peaceful and pleasant with the most gracious hosts. Breakfast served to your room every morning in a tray was delicious.

Stress free.

Very pleasant and quiet.

Niet voor herhaling vatbaar!

We dachten een kamer met een zitje in de tuin te hebben geboekt, maar kregen in eerste instantie een andere kamer. Er kon gelukkig gewisseld worden. Beiden kamers roken echter zeer onfris, waarschijnlijk door de vloerbedekking. De verdere hygiëne liet ook te wensen over. De eigenaren waren vriendelijk. Het ontbijt was goed.

Lovely and homey place, with the most welcoming hosts.

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 stay was awesome. Will definitely book again.

Our hosts was very hospitable. Breakfast was awesome!

Enjoyable.

The owners are amazing, very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

Clean, warm, and friendly.

It was what we expected.

Vriendelijk en hart verwarming.

Alles naar wensen, maar die bedden hét aandacht nodigt.

Comfortable accommodation, friendly and attentative owners.

The space was perfect for our stay. Comfortable and spacious. Well equipped kitchen and a good breakfast. Great value.

Great stay.

Everything was on point.

Comfortable.

The room and stay provided what I needed for a short visit.

Gerieflik, baie gasvry en sentraal.

Rustige en veilige buurt. Mike en Joy was 'n uitstekende gasheer/-vrou wat fantastiese ontbyt bedien het. Kamer is ruim, beddens gemaklik en kombuis goed toegerus. Dankie vir die spesiale geroosterde koffie, dit was heerlik!

Clean, comfortable and friendly. Good breakfast.

The hosts were great and the breakfast was delicious.

It was great. I would do it again.

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.

Gasvrye mense.

Lekker gebly, naby hospitaal, vriendelike mense.

Die eienaars was baie vriendelik en gesellig. Hulle het ons baie tuis laat voel en was ook baie tegemoetkomend.

Die woonbuurt is lekker rustig en stil. Parkeringspasie is bietjie klein. Die kamer is netjies, toegerus met Wi-Fi (wat werk) en DSTV met alle kanale op (niks van my 'favorite' sports uitgemis nie).

Aunty Joy and Uncle Mike are divine angels.

I love you Aunty Joy. My fairy godparents. I loved every second of my stay, thanks.

Baie vriendelik, hulpvaardig gaan uit hul pad om jou tuis te laat voel. Ontbyt uit die boonste rakke. Baie dankie.

Soos bo gemeld, fantastiese diens. Baie dankie.

Visiting my sister for Christmas.

The accommodation and location suited me perfectly as it was within walking distance of my sisters place. It was a very comfortable stay.

'n Baie rustige atmosfeer en baie goed geleё.

Uitstekende gasheer en gasvrou baie behulpsaam en besorg oor hulle gaste.

Gerieflik, goeie ligging, veilig, gasvry, maar klein verbeterings kan groter verskil maak dalk.

Ek en my dogter wat vir 'n ballet-oudisie by Cape Town City Ballet moes kom doen, het Abelia Place baie oulik gevind. Dis 'n ruim kamer met 2 enkelbeddens teen mekaar geskuif, klein kombuisie, groot badkamer, lekker oop buitedeur. Die verwelkoming was baie vriendelik, dankie Joy, en ook het hulle die volgende oggend voor 6 uur vir ons heerlike ontbyt-buns gebring om saam te neem lughawe toe. Dankie daarvoor. Paar opmerkings dalk: Joy het gesê daar is wel warm water vir die stort, maar ek het dit 'n hele rukkie laat loop sonder sukses, so dalk kan julle net daaraan aandag gee en dalk eerder 'n gas-geyser insit asb. Ek persoonlik dink ook dit sal lekker wees om foto's of skilderye van die Kaap teen die mure te sien, wat mens in die opwinding en stemming van die Kaap plaas vir jou verblyftyd. Ons het nie kaste vir ons klere vir die een nag benodig nie, maar ek sien daar is 'n klein hangkas en laaiekas, so ek weet nie of dit genoeg is vir lang tyd se verblyf nie, maar Joy sal 'n plan maak. Ook wil ek sê dat mens saans Joy hulle in hul huis kan hoor praat en soggens ook aangesien net een deur die kamer van die huis skei. Ek stel voor dat daar dalk 'n dik mat aan weerskante van die deur gehang word om klank meer dit demp, maar dit was nie te steurend nie. Dit was heerlik naby alles selfs eetplekke so af in die straat, die Ballet Studios 3 km weg en die Ballet-winkel ook so 3 km weg. Ons het selfs tyd gehad om 6-8 gou Waterfront toe te ry en die kultuur te geniet in die pragtige stil middag by die hawe. Dankie Joy ons beveel jou plek definitief aan en sal moontlik weer daar oornag as ons moet kom. Blessings.

Kuier was lekker, gaste was baie hulpsaam.

Kuier was lekker, gaste kan bietjie meer aandag gee aan klein dingetjies.

For our purpose it was adequate.

Its locality for our purpose was excellent.

Kalm, rustig, boomryk.

Elke mens se smaak verskil, maar wat ons wel kan sê is ontbyt is 'n pluspunt, vars gemaalde koffie is ook 'n pluspunt. Die ruim tuinwoonstel is vir seker 'n pluspunt asook die ekstra hulp en omgee van die eienaars.

Mike en Joy van Abelia Place was baie behulpsaam en vriendelik en het uit hulle pad uit gegaan as ons enige iets nodig gehad het. Geriewe was altyd netjies en skoon.

Abelia is redelik sentraal en baie rustig en netjies.

It was a fantastic stay indeed.

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 happy, but disappointed in the setup. Joy and Mike are very pleasant people though.

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.

Was baie teleurgesteld.

Daar is heelwat dinge wat vir my onaanvaarbaar was. Eerstens was daar nie veilige parkering vir my motor nie, en die stene wat erg opgelig is in die oprit, is nogal kommerwekkend. Die kamer was ongelooflik warm en bedompig en het baie erg na sigaretrook geruik. Daar was geen waaier of air con nie. Daar was ook geen toiletpapier nie, en die toiletwater was bruin en het 'n reuk gehad wat veroorsaak het dat die reuk heeltyd in die kamer gehang het. Die beddegoed was ook geel van kleur en het lankal hulle dae gehad. Ek het 'n week gebly, maar nêrens was daar plek om my kruideniersware uit te pak nie, met die gevolg dat ek uit my inkopie sakke moes leef. Omdat die kamer grens aan die huis, kan mens elke woord hoor wat daar gepraat word en soggens vroeg het die geraas al begin. Die advertensie se die instansie is 3 km van UCT wat nie die geval is nie, dis baie verder. Ek het van die vorige gaste se reviews gaan kyk, en die meeste kla oor die dieselfde goed, maar ek kan sien dan niemand wend 'n poging aan om dit te verbeter nie.

Fantastic place.

Had a fantastic stay. Joy and Mike were fantastic hosts.

Lekker ontspanne atmosfeer en 'n warm verwelkoming.

Ons het heerlik gebly. 'n Ruim kamer en badkamer en dit was heerlik om elke oggend ontbyt in die kamer te kry!

Quick stop.

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.

Great place to be in.

I would actually come back on some time for holidays the place was good.

Gerieflik en baie goed geleë.

Netjies en als wat 'n mens nodig het. Ons is vriendelik ontvang en die ontbyt was heerlik.

Sentraal geleë.

Gasheer was baie vriendelik. Dit was naby ons bestemming.

Nie aangenaam nie.

Was nie welkom ontvang nie. Plek het na rook geruik. Daar was nie 'n remote vir die TV nie. Die breekgoed in die kombuis oud en nie netjies nie.

Dit was nie 'n goeie ervaring nie.

Daar is geen sekuriteit vir motor nie. Die kamer het bietjie bedompig geruik. Van die breekgoed in kombuis is gechip en 'odd'.

Lekker gerieflik en vriendelike diens.

Goeie ligging en kamer het al die nodige geriewe. Lekker groot badkamer en kamer.

Vriendelik en gasvry, maar die oprit is nie na wense nie.

Die eienaars was te alle tye gasvry, vriendelik en behulpsaam. Die ontbyt was smaaklik. Ons stel net voor dat hulle iets aan die oprit laat doen, want daar is baie stene wat oplig as gevolg van boomwortels onder die grond.

Heerlike verblyf met vriendelike diens.

Ons het baie lekker gebly. Baie vriendelike diens. Rustige atmosfeer met die mooi tuin. Baie netjies en skoon. Ons sal vir seker weer daar gaan kuier.

The accommodation was exactly what we required for our trip.

It was close to where we needed to be.

Dit was heerlik. Joy en haar man was verskriklik gasvry. Wonderlik!

Ons verblyf was verskriklik gerieflik. Sakpas en aangename mense, sal definitief weer daar bly.

A very pleasant stay with fantastic hosts.

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.

Most enjoyable stay with friendly reception by Joy and Mike.

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.

Dit was gemaklik, skoon en privaat.

Met ons aankoms by die B&B is ons vriendelik verwelkom. Die kamer was mooi uiteengesit. Alles was op sy plek. Die kamer was groot genoeg vir ons twee. Die B&B is sentraal geleë en naby die nodige fasiliteite. Ek sal Abelia Place aanbeveel aan enigeen wat akkomodasie soek.

Rustig.

Die parkering was moeilik. 'n Groter kar sal meer sukkel. Die veiligheid sal met tyd nie genoeg wees nie. Verder het ons lekker gebly. Prys werd.

A very friendly welcome from our hostess with a family type stay.

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.

Comfortable and easy to locate, yet not really the best.

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.

Ongelooflike vriendelike diens en hulle is altyd bereid om te help!

Joy was verskriklik behulpsaam en het uit haar pad gegaan om ons tydjie daar gemaklik te maak. Die ontbyt was ongelooflik lekker en uit die boonste rakke, en so groot dat ons dit partykeer nie kon klaarmaak nie! Mens kry baie meer as waarvoor mens betaal. Ons kamer is elke dag netjies gemaak en indien ons ietsie nodig gehad het kon ons net vra. Ons sal definitief weer daar gaan bly as ons weer Kaap toe kom en beveel hulle sterk aan. Die ligging was ook perfek aangesien dit uit die verkeer was en in die middel van meeste van die besienswaardighede. Baie netjies en skoon.

Wonderful hosts.

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.

Nice and quite.

I would like if the menu can be discussed for the holiday member.

Baie lekker en rustig.

Vriendelike gasheer en gasvrou. Lekker gebly!

Al die basiese benodighede, netjies en goed geleë.

Naby aan UCT mediese kampus wat dit baie gerieflik vir my gemaak het. Goeie waarde vir geld en Mike was 'n wonderlike gasheer. Sal beslis hul weer besoek.

Disappointing.

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.

Very comfortable stay

Joy was very welcoming and helpful. Mike cooked delicious breakfasts!

Delightful, spacious, secure and comfortable - just like home away from home!

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 :)

Uitstekend!

Die blyplek was sentraal. Joy en Mike het baie moeite gedoen. Dankie daarvoor.

Delicious! The owners go to great lengths to make their guests feel welcome and at home.

Great value for money. Great hosts!

Baie aangenaam!

Baie aangename blyplek met alles wat enige ander akkommodasie jou sal bied. Sal dit aanbeveel vir enige persoon wat wil voel of hulle by hul huis is. Baie rustig, vriendelike mense, behulpsaam en als wat jy nodig het; geen tekortkominge nie.

Eenvoudige dog gerieflike verblyf met persoonlike aandag!

Joy en Mike gaan uit hulle pad om die verblyf so aangenaam as moontlik te maak sonder om jou privaatheid te belemmer. Baie goeie waarde vir geld. Die beddens is van baie goeie gehalte, wat 'n baie groot pluspunt is.

Great place.

Nice central place. Needs a fan and some mosqueto protection for this time of the year.

Baie tevrede, het alles wat mens benodig.

Baie bedagsaam en hulpvaardig. Ons het alles gehad wat nodig was, alles was skoon en netjies. Baie dankie, ons sal teruggaan.

Very comfortable and a wonderful breakfast served.

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.

Goed.

Sien asb. die sterre.

Fabulous stay at Abelia's place, thanks to the Smith family. T

Felt at home while away from home. Joy was fantastic and a good guide as well. The Smith family are awesome.

It was a great stay, close to everything, big and private.

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.

Good service

Awesome please to stay. Very friendly hosts

Great service and very lovely place to stay.

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.

Rustig met alles wat nodig is.

Sentraal geleë in 'n baie stil omgewing.

Had a wonderful stay

Perfectly situated for our purposes. Hosts are very friendly and helpful.

Pleasant, practical and unpretentious without compromising on comfort. Hosts were charming

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.
