We had a wonderful time at InAweStays. The owners and the team, especially Ellen, ensured we had a lovely stay. The accommodation is centrally located in the Gardens district, near Kloof Street. The property is beautiful, well-kept, and well-maintained. The owner provided us with excellent tips for restaurants and activities several times and even helped with a nice route to our next destination. Highly recommended!

We are a family of five and we stayed for three nights in "InAweStays Holiday Homes". We wish we could have stayed longer. We were greeted by our wonderful host Doreen, who welcomed us with a fantastic snack by the pool, which was very much appreciated after our long flight from Germany. Our villa was one of the most stylish places we have ever been in. We enjoyed spending time there as well as in the beautiful garden with the pool. Meyer, Doreen's husband, gave us great recommendations for restaurants, which were right around the corner. The holiday homes are in a very pretty and safe area and we will defintely be back the next time we visit Cape Town.

Only minor thing I can think of is that there is a street at one side of the property that is a bit noisy sometimes.

Beautiful apartment and an even more beautiful garden.

I just love staying here! It's my second stay and it is home away from home. The location is perfect. The views awesome and the accommodation just beautiful. The team takes excellent care of their guests!

We need to get used to the limited curtains in the apartment, but this seems normal in SA.

It was an amazing house, everything looked amazing and was perfectly located. The staff and hosts were super nice as well, it was the perfect start of our trip to South Africa

It is a real gem in one of Cape Town's most beautiful neighbourhoods. From the very first minute you feel welcome and warmly received. The property is beautiful, the rooms lovingly and very stylishly designed. The garden is beautiful with lots of little seating areas to relax in. The food is very fresh, varied and delicious. But what makes the stay really special is the friendliness and helpfulness of the landlords. Their hospitality is more than exceptional.

The bedroom of our room was right next to the road so you could hear traffic quite badly. Also from the photos on booking.com it looks like the room (2-bedroom cottage) is adjacent to the pool, but it is on a different part of the property with less view

Doreen, Ellen and the rest of the staff gave us a very warm welcome to Cape Town. Although we spent most of our time exploring Cape Town and it's surroundings, the location and room was a lovely retreat right in the buzzing city center. We enjoyed the cleanliness and privacy of the room. It had everything we needed to arrange our own breakfast and easy dinner. The cottages are located on private property and we also enjoyed playing around in the garden and the pool. Lastly we had breakfast once which was excellent!

That we had to leave!

This is a charming oasis in the Gardens neighbourhood, close to excellent restaurants on Kloof St and a short Uber ride to the V&A Waterfront and Central Business District. Everyone was so welcoming and helpful - from delightful owner Doreen to all the wonderful staff (with special mention to Robert’s delicious pizza!). Cannot recommend highly enough. We LOVED our five days staying in Olive’s Cottage.

The general style is chabby chic, but the bathroom of our cottage could do with a bit of an upgrade. Saying that, it was clean and we did not feel uncomfortable. We just felt that a slight upgrade would be appropriate, considering the rate.

It’s feels like a little spot of paradise, as soon as you walk through the gate. The staff goes above and beyond to make everyone feel good.

Beware traffic noise if you’re a light sleeper, situated on busy road

Really helpful host and staff, well equipped and good location, nice touch with wine and nibbles on arrival

Nothing, it was perfect.

The hosts Doreen and her husband were so friendly and helpful. The best hosts yet in South Africa. I enjoyed a lovely evening with them, a home cooked meal and some great travel tips. I would definitely recommend InAweStays.

Super friendly staff, great location, lovely pool and atmosphere. Would highly recommend!

Stayed in March 2023

The room doesn't have an A/C, and the fan didn't work at night because of the problems with electricity in the city.

a super friendly and helpful host! the house in general is full of hospitality. they prepared a cheese and fruit plate for us at the check-in. the house is conveniently located and there are many coffeeshops and restaurants in a walking distance.

no air conditioning - but it was breezy at night w windows open :)

Lovely studio apartment with lots of windows and views of table mountain! Beautiful surrounding garden well maintained, fresh herbs and flowers .. and cute friendly cats .. had a homey feeling. Doreen was lovely to meet us when we arrived at midnight with some local snacks and wine :) and easy to communicate with them when we had any questions. She also informed us South Africa has load shedding (no electricity) at particular times and they accommodated with lighting up pathways and flash lights in the room. Thanks for a lovely stay!

The only thing that was missing for us was airconditioning.

We had a wonderful time with Doreen and Robert, they are so friendly and the property is very nicely decorated. They had many toys for kids and the swimming pool was great. The rooms are nice, they have everything you need.

A gem right in the middle of Cape Town. Doreen and Meyer and their whole family were so welcoming and the studio was a wonderful place to stay.
