The deck was nice.
The couches are not comfortable.
Beautiful View, Great Location
No Sugar or Milk for Coffee in the Morning.
Well situated . Excellent accommodation- had all we needed for our stay . Very clean . Outstanding king size bed .
Driveway to park car off property was very tricky . A bigger car would have to park on road - which seemed very safe .
C'est mon deuxieme séjour ici et l’endroit est toujours aussi splendide, luxueux et paisible, avec une vue incroyable sur Noordhoek.
Rien.
Det är trevligt och fräscht. Liten pool är bra 👍 Välj de tummen som ligger högst upp. Bästa utsikten.
Central Location, views, peaceful & quiet, comfortable space, stunning communal pool area
Nothing, although there was no AC, I thought the fan provided was adequate.
I liked everything about the property.

The view was beautiful and the room was very clean. The host was super nice and accommodating

Wir waren um wunderschönen Garten Studio untergebracht und haben unseren Aufenthalt dort sehr genossen. Die Lage ist ruhig mit einem tollen Ausblick. Die Betten sind sehr bequem, Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden und im Pool kann man sich wunderbar abkühlen. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder zurück dorthin!
Da gab es nichts!
Ruhig Lage Pool Sauberkeit
Die steilen Steintreppen (Pool Guestsuite)
Die Gastgeberin ist so herzlich, dass man sich sofort zuhause fühlt. Die Unterkunft selbst war sehr gut ausgestattet und sauber. Der Blick vom kleinen Außenbeleuchtung direkt vor der Unterkunft lädt zum Verweilen ein. Trotz anderer Gäste ist man für sich.
Wunderschöne Suite mit tollem Ausblick. Das Highlight ist natürlich der Whirlpool auf der privaten Terrasse! Super Ausgangspunkt für Erkundungen auf der Kap-Halbinsel.
Die lage ist super, um sowohl das Kap als auch Kapstadt zu erreichen. Das Zimmer war super! Der Pool und die Terrasse auch. Die Seife und das Shampoo rochen Klasse ;-)
Alles super. Vllt wären ein paar Gewürze in der Küche noch super. Sonst alles scht top!
Amazing views, kind hosts, and a clean, well-organized stay — the perfect home base for couples exploring Cape Town and the peninsula!
The parking is very narrow and can be tricky to navigate. Depending on which room you have, the walls can be quite thin.
Host communication was amazing
It's definitely a summer stay.
Loved everything... Definitely going back Place is even better in person!!!!!
From the moment my spouse and I stepped in the facility, first class to the notch. This was indeed an absolutely spectacular weekend. We have enjoyed ourselves and we can most certainly recommend African Violet Guests Suites. Thank you for having us. Much appreciated Jennifer and Rob. 10/10
Thank you so much for the incredible accommodation – we had an absolutely fantastic stay! The hot tub with that stunning view was the cherry on the cake – such a perfect way to relax and unwind. The place was beautifully maintained with so many thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. We truly had a wonderful time and would highly recommend your place to others. Thanks again for everything – take care and all the best!
Absolutely nothing
I like the way the place was designed and how clean it was and very comfortable the owners really knew what time away is for people who hardly have time to get away it's very peaceful and the view when you wake up is out of this world They have this amazing hot tub which made my body relax in so many ways and if you do go in summer you get privileges to a pool area as well, the beach is not far away from the area If you wanna go for supper it's convenient to get to a restaurant and if you want to just chill there's a section to braai
I won't say didn't like I love everything about the place People should try it out and see and feel the tranquility of the place If you want to unwind then then African violet is the place to go And Jennifer is so friendly and she makes you feel like you wanna come back again Amazing woman I must say
The apartment was really clean and had all the amenities you'd need. The jacuzzi has a beautiful view but is still tucked away enough to feel private. The hosts were lovely - loved the brochure about what to see and do in the area!
Thank you for a beautiful stay. It was so comfortable, the view was incredible and I had everything I needed!
I would have like to have been close to the ocean, but they stay was wonderful
The couple I booked it for had a brilliant time. Quote : “We had the best time ever it was so perfect literally 10/10 we definitely going back !”
Loved everything, the hosts are the nicest people ever. Can’t wait to be back
We loved everything about the place. Place was clean, the host was amazing. Great value for money

The guest suit I stayed in was really peaceful and I enjoyed my brief stay. The owner was there to greet me and show me the suite. I had a small car so I was able to manage the tight driveway preferring to park inside. However there is off street parking otherwise. I dropped off the key on the way out.
Nothing
the location and the beauty of the accommodations with sea view, really nice
Beautiful loft suite, with stunning views across Nordhoek to the bay and Chapman's Peak. Wonderful accommodation. Well equipped and very spacious. Lovely pool area, with loungers and plenty of seating, parasols and a nice Boma area. Rob (host) was very helpful.
Nothing, the accommodation was excellent.
Just amazing! Great central location to visit Cape’s peninsula. View is amazing and apartment was perfect (very good bed & clean).
We loved our stay at African Violets & in Noordhoek. Our Courtyard Cottage was spacious, in excellent condition & had great views to Chapman's Peak & the coastline. The pool area was fabulous with the same great views and plenty of sunbeds & covered comfy seating. Our hot tub was an added luxury which we used most evenings. Finally, Noordhoek was a good location with access to several fabulous beaches, cafes, restaurants & towns. We'd definitely stay again.
I liked how peaceful it was, definitely a good place to relax and take a break from the world.
beautiful place to stay at, with gorgeous views - also the interior is done very tasteful, you will find everything you need there (shampoo, shower gel, towels etc) when we were staying in the terrace suite with the jacuzzi they even provided a bubble bath. It was really perfect,
the dishwaher wasn't working which is really not that bad but that was the only thing I could think of
I really loved the hot tub with the view, and the courtyard suite was cozy.
no TV in the bedroom :( but overall a great place!
The property is pristine, superb location and had everything we needed for our stay. We will be back!
The view and pool area was great
All the wall plugs were 3 point outlets with no 2 point outlets or adapters.
View location, hot tub, covered parking
Steep, narrow driveway
Everything about the place😊 Tranquility, beautiful view, and Jennifer is a super awesome host . Will definitely recommend 👌 💜
Nothing
It's self catering but the only hav a mini fridge can't put food stuff in Kettle and toaster was old and dirty Stove took forever to get hot Charge 650 extra for honeymoon but wasn't worth the money Shower was very small and tiny Kitchen cupboards got no door handles
We LOVED the spa bath. It was intimate and romantic and extremely peaceful.
A wonderful private suite with immaculate and clean amenities with a super friendly welcome!
We got received in a friendly and warm manner. Walking into the accomodation gave us an immediate warm and cosy feeling and we had all we needed for our stay.
The location was excellent. The facilities especially the hot tub was amazing.
An amazing apartment with access to a hot tub (private) and a swimming pool (shared with one or two other rooms). Very clean, very well equipped. We loved it!
Everything was a 10/10 Loved our stay here - we will definitely be coming
The hostess went above and beyond
Location excellent with wonderful views of sea and mountain. Hot tub was lovely. Covered parking was secure.
An aircon in the bedroom would be great.
We absolutely loved the out stay and how modern and clean the place was. Felt like home away from home.
Maybe it’s abit on top of one another but still an amazing getaway.
The property is tastefully decorated and a good size with a beautiful Mountain View from the jacuzzi area. The jacuzzi we enjoyed greatly on our first night where you can enjoy a glass of wine under the stars. The bed was really comfortable. Was nice to have two outdoor spaces with a cute little courtyard outside the bedroom to enjoy a morning coffee which offered shelter when it rained one of the days. The surrounding grounds are well maintained and we wish we had more time to spend around the pool/ cabana area. We enjoyed our stay but the issue with the jacuzzi had a massive impact on our overall impression unfortunately.
The jacuzzi only worked one out of three nights. We reported the issue as soon as possible and would have expected every effort to make sure this was fixed for our last evening which is was not, despite ample time to resolve. This was very disappointing as we booked the property specifically because there was a jacuzzi. The response upon our departure was not great. Other details were overlooked - no lighter or coals for the bbq (we had to ask but provided with this quickly), we would have expected cooking oils. One of the kitchen cupboards smells musty. A coffee machine would have been a nice touch.
Lovely accommodation. Private and comfortable. Nice and clean.
It was further away than I realised from where I needed to be. The shower tap was faulty but they came to fix it straight away.
everything was amazing ! highly recommended ! looking forward to staying there again next year
The host Jennifer was amazing, super helpful and accommodating. The room was very comfortable and had everything you need, plus a spa bath! We’d most certainly recommend and would return.
Nothing.
Clean, great view, beautiful people
Lots of steps
The place was exceptional, the peace in the atmosphere was touchable! The privacy is exceptional and our experience with Jenni was fantastic. The Cabana at the pool is an absolute oasis!
Load shedding is always an issue in S.A. so adding a gas plate will help a lot when preparing food during load shedding.
Very beautiful setting, pool and terrace!
There was no AC in the suite
