An African Villa ReviewLouis and Jimmy have skillfully reworked the spaces in several adjoining 19th-century double-story Victorian houses into a chic African-Zen boutique-style guesthouse. Using a clever mix of ethnic and modern furniture, and offsetting muted modern tones and earthy textures with playful touches of vivid color, they've created a stylish, good-value, and very warm, welcoming environment -- one of Cape Town's loveliest. The cheerful public spaces all lead to an outdoor area with plunge pool and timber loungers. For privacy and views, the rooms on the second floor are marginally preferable to those on the ground -- those facing Table Mountain (like no. A2) have a wonderful ambience; but the platinum units, with doors that lead to the Victorian balcony overlooking the street, are the ones to go for if you need extra space.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
