My husband and I had such an amazing experience at Liziwe's Guesthouse. Liziwe and Donald have graciously opened their beautiful home to others, and from the minute you step in the door, you feel like family. Andrew gave us a tour of the township- and it was so much better than traditional township tours. We loved this experience-- we were... More

We were greeted by Liziwe and Andrew upon our arrival and the fun started! Andrew had a full day planned for our tour which included visiting a... More

Liziwe has created a comfortable & characterful home which is the perfect base to explore & experience true township life. We were made to feel very welcome. I highly recommend Liziwe's to all visitors to South Africa but especially to our local South Africans - lets support our local communities! And don't forget to visit Mzoli's just down the road...

We spent 2 nights at Liziwe's on our arrival into South Africa. A genuine Township stay hosted by an amazing family. Lovely ensuite bedroom. Superb views over the Township to Table Mountain. Balcony safety railings to be put in when can be afforded, Donald fiercely proud of his achievements building Liziwe's without borrowing any money and is respected for doing... More

I absolutely agree that a bus tour of a township is not enough to get a real feel for the area, plus it's hard to know whether your money is really going to the people in the township. Staying at Liziwe's is a way to get to know the township better, and you can feel confident that your money is... More

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay with Liziwe and Donald. Their hospitality is unmatched. Sitting around the table after dinner talking with them over glasses of wine was delightful. Tour of the townships with Andrew is DON"T miss!

When you visit Cape Town, besides a visit to the table mountain, a trip to Robben island, many travel agencies will offer you a tour through the townships, the black suburbs of Cape Town with their real african atmosphere. If you are interested in this lively way of living, a tour in a bus is not enough, you should stay... More
