Me and my fiance really enjoyed our stay at Liziwe's, Lizzi is sweet, caring and respectful she really knows how to make her guest feel special. Donald is a special person he kept us entertained throughout our stay and Andrew is so caring I loved his gentle smile. Next time I'm in Cape Town I will definitely book with them.
Thanks Liziwe for great hospitality |

Liziwes ist Klasse! Wir haben 5 Tage mit unserem 5-jährigem Sohn bei Liziwe's gewohnt. Unser Sohn fand das "Urlaubszuhause" das Beste des 4-wöchigen Urlaubes in Südafrika. Alle waren unglaublich freundlich und hilfsbereit. z.B. beim Buchen von Aktivitäten. Als unser Sohn Fieber bekam, fuhr Lizi's Bruder Andile mit mir zu einem ihm bekannten Apotheker, wir konnten ohne Probleme den Aufenthalt dort verlängern und wurden liebevoll versorgt. Bestimmt wurde er deshalb so schnell wieder gesund! Auch die Gespräche waren sehr interessant. Besonders empfehlenswert ist auch die Township-Tour.
Special greetings from David to little Ayanda! David told his friends here very proud, that he now has a new friend in south africa. |

Our stay at Liziwe's Guest House was truely outstanding. Liziwe and her husband Donald, who built their house brick by brick with every spare hour over many years, have extended the warmth of their family to their guests. One is welcomed warmly upon arrival and made to feel at home throughout one's stay. The rooms are clean and well appointed with fridge, t.v. and tea pot. Our bed was very comfortable. Our room had a shared balcony over looking the street. We stayed two nights which is perfect for getting a feel for township life. On our last morning we sat out on the balcony prior to breakfast and greeted many passerby's with a wave, a smile and good morning and received the same in kind. We drove to Liziwe's in our rental car, got lost in the township and stopped to ask for directions twice. Both gentlemen we spoke with were very friendly and helpful in setting us on the right path. Upon arrival we were escorted to our room by Liziwe's son Lunga. We enjoyed two breakfasts and one dinner. All the food was outstanding, well prepared and well portioned. No one will go hungry at Liziwe's. One could use Liziwe's as a base to explore Cape Town from but more rewarding would be to arrive at Liziwe's with the interest and desire to experience the township and to enjoy the company and conversation of Donald and Liziwe and their family. Andrew organizes tours of the township catered to your interests. One is guided through township life on a walking tour where one can meet and greet people of the neighborhood. We visited a primary school, a shebeen, Mzoli's for lunch (an excellent braai place); moreover, we had umqomboti a traditional Xhosa beer and visited with a sangoma, a traditional healer. We walked with Donald through the informal settlement of shacks. He explained how the people live and what the government is doing to help alleviate the extreme poverty and provide better housing opportunities for the community. While progress is slow the people are extremely patient. Overall our stay at Liziwe's and tour of the township was an extremely enriching and rewarding experience. Liziwe's Guest House is wonderful. We recommend it highly to anyone interested in understanding how the majority of South Africans live, and to anyone interested in history and life in the townships. In addition to Donald and Liziwe and their children we had the pleasure of conversing with Liziwe's brother Andile, who speaks, in addition to many other languages, fluent German. Everyone was fantastic. Andrew is very organized and a great tour guide. If you are planning a visit to Cape Town, make a point of staying a night or two at Liziwe's. It will warm your heart. |

Wer Kapstadt ohne die Perspektive der Townships besucht, hat einen wesentlchen Teil dieser schönen Stadt verpasst. Der ideale Ort um Gugulethu kennenzulernen ist Liziwe's Guest House. Wir fühlten uns in den zwei Tagen im Haus von Liziwe und Donald unglaublich wohl und wir wurden aufgenommen wie Familienmitglieder. An die lange Gespräche bis spät in die Nacht, an die sehr emotionalen Schilderungen aus dem Leben von Donald und an den wärmenden Kamin, das gute Essen und die schönen Zimmer werden wir uns immer gerne erinnern. Auch der interessante Spaziergang durch Gugulethu mit Andrew und Duke hat uns sehr beeindruckt und sollte nicht verpasst werden. Viele unserer Vorstellungen von südafrikanischn Townships haben wir hier geändert. Wir waren oft positiv überrascht. Die vielen Eindrücke hier und die Begegnung mit den liebenswerten Menschen in Liziwe's Guesthouse haben unsere Reise sehr bereichert und wir sind nachträglich froh über unseren Schritt, auch im Township übernachtet zu haben.Thank you Liziwe, Donald, Andrew and Duke. |

We had a wondeful Gugulethu experience as a family of 5. Liziwe was a wonderful host with chef qualities, Donald the tireless entertainer and Andrew the dedicated super-assistant. Our children (17-23) have never been that much impressed than during the township walk.
If you really want to experience SA as it is today, don't miss the opportunity of staying at Liziwe's guest house.
A big thank you for Liziwe, Donald and Andrew!

We loved our 1 night stay at Liziwe's, especially our township tour with Andrew and Donald. If you're really curious about how the people here live day-to-day, then this tour is a must-see. |
