Nice big room and bathroom. Breakfast was also nice.
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.

Not repeatable!
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.

Joke and a guest were on another visit to SA to see their daughter. They were a pleasure to meet. On arrival, they requested the room with the patio (we had given them the larger room) and we were fortunately able to oblige immediately. We normally clean our rooms every weekday, but they asked us not to do this at all as they wanted their privacy and did not want anyone going into their room, which we respected. I don’t know how we could clean without going into the room. On the occasions we saw them, we said that if there was anything they needed, they should please ask. We do our best to provide a good stay and respect the wishes of our guests.

Comfortable, good location, safe, hospitable, but small improvements could make a bigger difference perhaps.
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.

Was very disappointed.
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.

Verskoon my dat ek in Engels beantwoord maar ek kan myself beter uitspreek in Engels
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback. The booking was made by Lilanie but her daughter Lesinda stayed here while attending a course at UCT so it is very possible that Lesinda did not read the description of the accommodation on the site and this could have led to several misconceptions for which we are very sorry because it is important to us that our guests have a pleasant experience. E.g. for the past 25 years guests have enjoyed off-street parking in the driveway outside their private entrance. There is also a CCTV street camera directly opposite our driveway. I am sorry, Lesinda, that you did not find this secure enough. The rate you paid was R550pn. This is a very reasonable rate, Lesinda, especially for Rondebosch, and especially as this includes breakfast on a tray every morning. In addition, for your added convenience, there is a basically equipped little kitchenette as described on our site – I am sorry you were inconvenienced by the lack of a grocery cupboard. Mike and I live here and go out of our way to assist our guests – I am sorry you didn’t ask for a fan – we had one available for you. Also a hairdryer. And an iron and ironing board. Plus plenty of spare loo paper if you had run out.I wish you had asked us. We have a strict no-smoking policy in our rooms – guests are welcome to smoke outside. The bed -linen you refer to is actually 100% cream cotton percale: it was never white. The distance to Main Rd is approx.3km and UCT campus starts there at the Baxter Theatre on Main rd. But it is a big campus, Lesinda, and I don’t know where all the faculties are. I am sorry if your faculty was a bit further into the campus. We can’t do anything about the beautiful tree at the bottom of our driveway except relay the bricks from time to time which we do. I am sure you will agree that it would be a scandal to cut it down and in any case I don’t think we would be allowed to. I hope this response addresses some of your disappointment. Please know that we value input from our guests and do what we can to remedy our shortcomings because having happy guests is very important to us. We wish you luck in your studies.
Kind regards, Joy Smith.

Not quite what we expected.
We did not stay in Abelia Place B&B then. Joy called us in advance to ask if we would mind moving to another accommodation to accommodate an old lady who wanted to stay longer in the unit we had booked. We were then moved to Chester House Studio. There is nothing wrong with the facilities, but it did not seem to us that the bathroom and kitchen were properly cleaned before our arrival. It was not up to the same standard as the other places we stayed during our trip.

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.

Disappointing.
Abelia Place 's response
Dear Adele
Thank you for your feedback. We are aware that some people are vehemently anti-smoking which is why we have a strict non-smoking policy in both rooms.. I see you stayed in the Ivy Room where an ashtray is provided on the patio outside, The previous guests were tennis players - I would be surprised if they smoked! The saucer held a candle and a box of matches in case of a power outage. I aplogise for the ash from the burnt match. When you requested another room we obliged and you moved into the Rose Room . You also requested lifts to the Jammie shuttle stop to go to UCT for your exams.. We do not charge guests for this -- we see it as being caring hosts and an extension of our hospitality. I am sorry your towels were not replaced immediately. You paid a single rate of R400 per night, less commission and Vat of 17.1% - this included breakfast served on a tray in your room every morning. I hope your exams went well and wish you every success.
Kindest regards

Simple yet comfortable accommodation with personal attention!
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.

Hi Gert,
Thanks for the feedback. We try and keep Tabbard in the rooms, especially in summer, but it keeps disappearing! You are welcome to ask if it is not there. Our rooms very seldom get hot but we have been thinking about those overhead fans, even just one mozzie can drive you mad!
Keep promising myself to pop in when next in the Knysna area. Give my best wishes to Hein.

Hi Theresa,
Thanks for the positive review, Mike loves it when guests say his breakfast is wonderful. Next time you should request the Ivy Room, it is a bit smaller than the Rose Room but it does have a little patio.
