Jenny was a most helpful and polite hostess. The room was clean, modern and tastefully decorated. The little kitchen area was well equipped. The view is spectacular and the communal pool and area great. I can highly recommend African Violet Guest Suites.

A huge thank you to Jenni and Rob!! We booked the Terrace suite for 2 days in July, and WOW!!! The room was amazing, and even though it was raining, we had a absolutely awesome weekend. 10/10 from me!

A short, but memorable 5 nights in an excellent location. It has lovely views over the mountains and the beach, is very secluded, yet within 5 minutes from shops and about 35 minutes from Cape Town center. All questions and requirements were promptly resolved by Jenni and Rob.

Dear Jenni and Rob, Thank you so much for the beautiful time in your pretty house. Everything was so wonderful: the view, the style, the garden, the pool. We falled in love with the Loft and don't want to leave:)! This was definitely the best place to end our honeymoon in South Africa. We enjoyed this place and wish you al the best. God bless you. Sabine and Joachim

Decadent and lovely. The African Violet refreshes the soul. Jenni and Rob are wonderful...warm, inviting, and generous. Our two suites suited our 5-person group perfectly. Grounds are impressive. Rooms are immaculate. Views are inspiring. If you are visiting Cape Town, you must stay here!

Seldom do places exceed my expectations, but African Violet managed to do just that. Tastefully modern and elegant, I found the suites to be most comfortable. I like to believe I will be a repeat customer. All the best to Rob and Jenni.

South Africa is often advertised as 'a whole world in one country'. It is easy to visit South Africa without seeing some parts of their world, as most visitors to SA will discover. African Violet offers a perfectly balanced combination of all the aspects that makes South Africa a unique country. In tasteful style and absolute safety, you KNOW that you are in Africa but you have the option of indulging in all the first world luxurious comfort only if you dare to! It will be my excuse to return to Cape Town. Wonderful hosts, Rob and Jenni. Thanks for my bottle of wine! From all of us, Tunde, Karen and Erin.

We had a fabulous time staying in one of these gorgeous suites. Fantastic hospitality - felt really at home. This is a stunning location & is so tastefully decorated, I personally don't think you could get much better for an amazing place to stay in Noordhoek! Definitely recommended with two thumbs up...

What we experienced at African Violet, is what it means to feel at home "in a foreign country". Thank you so much!! It is such a lovely and wonderful place here and a main reason to come bck to Cape Town. Thank you for your hospitality and everything you have done for us.

A beautiful suite that worked really well for our family. Thank you for a well-equipped, carefully thought-out place to stay. This is a lovely "home away from home", where both we and our children could relax and enjoy our holiday. Kayden especially loved the view and helicopters flying by. Many thanks.
