We were delighted with our Avatara experience. We arrived 11 hours later than scheduled by rail. Cher was at the train station at 4:00 AM to pick us up and bring us to her absolutely charming B&B. Room immaculate, breakfast great conversation and suggestions excellent. Walking distance to V & A. A lovely example of an old house will high... More

I had the pleasure of staying at Avatara at that special time when Cape Town shifts gear ahead of the Festive Season and the city starts to buzz with tourists. I stayed in Room 4, which has its own private balcony which looks on to Signal Hill. Delicate attention to decor detail made the room a tranquil break from the... More

My fiance and myself had such a wonderful time in Avatara. We arrived in Cape Town for the very first time, and Avatara was such a good introduction to Cape Town. Located very close to great restaurants, a few pubs, and walking distance to the beautiful Waterfront. The bus also stops 3 minutes walk from the front door. The owner... More

Had an excellent stay at Avatara in early September 2012. Cher, the host, is very friendly and gracious! The room I stayed in was on the first floor - very neat, and tidy. Breakfast was excellent and a Cher was full of great advice on what to see and do. While the V&A Waterfront IS in walking distance, don't expect... More

Lovely B and B, centrally located (10-15 min walk from V and A Waterfront) in Greenpoint. Was able to walk to restaurants in evening in Greenpoint. I stayed on the first floor and... More

My good lady Martha and I stayed at Avatara in Feb 2011 with our dog Maxi, this is by far the best guest house we have ever stayed in, indeed if it were a hotel it would be of 4 star rating. We had no issues with hygiene, everything was clean, efficent and very very well presented. I have recommended... More

All within walking distance. This makes the Avatara Guest House a perfect location to explore the beautiful city of Cape Town. Knowing the... More

I travel often to Cape Town, to re-charge my batteries from life in the "Bush". I have always enjoyed staying in the Green Point/Sea Point area, within easy walking distance to the Waterfront and the City Bowl. I have stayed in many establishments, trying to find the "One" that would feel like place to relax within the hub of the... More
