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.

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.

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.

Lekker groot kamer en badkamer. Ontbyt was ook lekker.

Dit was heel goed vir die prys. WiFi internet was net bitter stadig, maar so ook op foon se data self, so nie seker of dit maar die area is nie. Die blinds in die kombuis kan nie heeltemal toemaak nie, so iemand kan maklik toegang kry en van buite af inloer, want daar is ook nie 'n hek by die ingang nie, daarom net 3 sterre vir veiligheid.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 and Joy from Abelia Place were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way if we needed anything. Facilities were always neat and clean.

Abelia is quite central and very quiet and tidy.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Hi Hardus

Baie dankie vir die terugvoering, ons waardeer dit.
Hardus, daar is 'n probleem met die boom wortels in die oprit, wat die stene opstoot. So nou en dan lig ons all die stene en maak dit reg, wat 'n groot werk is. Jy moet sien hoe mooi die boom lyk as hy blom. Tog te pragtig, ons kan hom nie afkap nie.

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.

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.

Abelia Place 's response

Thank you for your kind words and accurate description of the accommodation as quiet and homely, comfortable and cost effective. Our two suites are attached to our home, each with its own private entrance and little kitchenette. At R450per night single and R550pn double (= R275pppn sharing) we believe we offer good value especially as this includes breakfast served on a tray in your room every morning. Thank you for staying with us - we appreciate it. Kind regards, Joy

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Abelia Place 's response

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.

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.

Abelia Place 's response

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.

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.

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.
