My husband, 2 year old son and parents-in-law all had a wonderful time at Liziwe's. The warm hospitality, excellent food and community visits made the stay both comfortable and memorable and we would have liked to have stayed longer. For us adults, the walking and half day tours were humbling and unforgettable - for our son the highlight was playing football with the local kids and eating Liziwe's delicious fried bread balls!
We highly recommend a stay at Liziwe's to anyone - it is a lovely place to stay and an important insight to south africa. Best of all, it supports an excellent township business.
.
Thank you Liziwe, Donald and Andrew.... we hope to come back to see you again. |

Our family of 5 Peter and I and our 3 'young adult' children recently enjoyed the warm hospitality and comfort of Liziwe's guesthouse. Our charming hostess, together with husband Donald, and Andrew, made sure we had the best possible time in Guguletu.
We gained great insight into life in the township through the half day tour, and were made to feel part of their family as we dined in their home. Nothing was too much trouble. They provided me with an unforgettable 55th birthday, and we dearly hope to return one day.
Highly recommended! |

We loved staying at Liziwe's. From the moment we got picked up from the airport we felt very welcome. The place looks very good and organised. The food Liziwe cooks is delicious and our room is fantastic. It is very special to stay in the middle of the township Guguletu; it's an experience we'll never forget! We did the township tour and the people are very open and friendly. We felt very safe. We had two great days at Liziwe's! We would strongly recommend this place to other people!
Liziwe, Donald and Andrew, we want to thank you for this great start of our holiday. In two days we had an experience other people will never have. Thanks a lot and we will never forget you guys!
Lots of love,
Pieter and Fokalin |

Review by: Tarrah Beebe, Los Angeles, CA (stayed: November 2007)
My stay at Liziwe's was short, but unparalleled. We went for the Thanksgiving holiday and were greeted with the utmost of hospitality. The guest hose is set up with multiple communal areas to meet the others who are staying there, but there is also an element of privacy in each of the rooms.
All of the staff there, including Liziwe and Donald's family, were wonderful and more than hospitable. It was a safe and very comfortale experience, but also an enlightening one, where Liziwe and Donald wanted to share their experiences with us, if we wanted to ask questions. To hear their story of developing this wonderful place from their own voices was an amazing experience.
Also, to hear the beautiful voices of New Hope, a musical group made up of young people that live in Gugulethu, was terrific. I look forward to the next chance I get to travel to Cape Town and visit this amazing family and the beautiful country of South Africa. |

Review by: Harry Perry, Leicester UK (stayed: November 2007)
We all thought Liziwe's was a fantastic introduction to South Africa. Andrew and Liziwe gave us a lift from airport to car rental depot and Andrew helped negotiate our way through a technical difficulty - even going back the next day to pick up a document for us while we carried on with sight-seeing!
The food was great, comfortable quiet rooms, fascinating township walk and Donald's moving explanation of the struggle for freedom in Gugulethu. Before going we had anxieties about crime etc. but we felt 100% safe and wouldn't have missed it for the world. A really warm welcome to South Africa - thanks for the hospitality and care!

Since I have met Liziwe, Donald and Andrew everytime I go to South Africa I will visit them and stay for a few nights. I have been to Liziwe's Guesthouse severval times now and for me it is a home away from home.
Especially the warm hospitality and family atmosphere is great. You really feel part of the family. Every person that wants to visit Cape Town should experience township life and visit Liziwe's. It will be an unforgettable experience! I have never felt unsafe at all.

Review by: Ernst Jonker, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands (stayed: November 2007)
I stayed at Liziwe's twice: in Febraury and November/December 2007. I strongly recommend Liziwe's: it offers a wonderful mix of a home away from home and a high level of comfort and safety (which one maybe wouldn't expect in a township) with a real township/African experience. The best of both worlds!
Liziwe, Andrew, Donald and all others really make you feel welcome - after a few days you will feel part of the family. They truly make an effort to make your stay an unforgettable experience. You are not only staying in their fine home, enjoying the excellent food and live entertainment; they also share their lives with you. If you really want to know township life: take a township tour or walk with them! I will never forget this experience.
Liziwe, Donald and Andrew: thanks a million! No doubt: I will be back!!
Love, Ernst |

Review by: Jeannette, Leeuwarden, The Netherlands (stayed: May 2007)
Staying for 3 weeks in the township at Liziwe's Guesthouse was an experience for lifetime. From the first moment I arrived I felt a very warm welcome by Liziwe and her family. With a lot of passion and drive this family fulfilled their dreams by starting a guesthouse in a township, where life is often very hard. Their friendlyness is endless and I never felt unsafe. Liziwe's guesthouse offers an unique hospitaliy and an African Township Experience.
Liziwe, Andrew and Donald are driving forces for their community as well. As Liziwe told me: "This business is not only about education, it is about passion and sharing".
I had a wonderful time in Guglethu, meeting a lot of neighbours from the community, went for a township walking tour and felt part of the family from the first day.
Thank you very much for everything you did for me.
Warmest regards,
Jeannette
