An African Villa

Eating

Breakfast at An African Villa was probably one of our favourite things about our stay. Cereals, fruit salads, yoghurts and various homemade breads are laid out for guests to help themselves. Once settled at one of the tables (in the large dining room or out in the courtyard) there are endless deliveries of toast, pancakes and tea and coffee, while you choose from the English-style cooked breakfast menu: eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomato, hash browns and surprises like smoked salmon, tomato tart or pancakes with syrup.

No other meals are served, but there are dozens of excellent restaurants within walking distance - trendy Kloof Street, Cape Town's "dining golden mile", is a 5-minute stroll away. Limited kitchen facilities are also available for guests' use on those evenings when a sandwich or salad and glass of wine at home are more inviting.

Sherry, port, tea and coffee are complimentary. A range of other drinks is available from the honesty bar. You're also welcome to bring your own drinks and keep them in the guest fridge.
