Vicky's B&B in Cape Town (see link below to send an accommodation enquiry)
Vicky Ntozini s three-bedroomed B&B is constructed from corrugated iron, tree trunks and hardboard, but her guests lack no comforts inside! Her warmth and hospitality and home-prepared traditional cuisine will delight you on your professionally-organised tour to Khayelitsha. Directly opposite the original" V&A Waterfront shebeen
Like most houses in Khayelitsha, it is built of corrugated iron and wood. It took the owners about two months to finish it - they built it with their own hands! As her guest house has grown in popularity, Vicky has been able to extend her property, it is now double storey. It faces east and gets a lot of sunlight in the morning. There is enough room between the house and the street for cars to park and children to play. On hot Saturday afternoons, we like to put chairs outside and watch the busy world of the township pass by.
SERVICES & FACILITIES
Vicky's husband designed the interior of the house. It's very comfortable, and her visitors are always surprised by how big it seems on the inside when it seems so small from the outside. Her husband decorated the living room and hallway with special tiles and wood; they also like to hang pictures on the walls and display their collections of porcelain animals and special bottles. There are pictures from Vicky's past guests hanging throughout the house. The shared living area has local TV and a DVD player. The kitchen is available to the guests for coffe and tea making facilities and for use of the refrigerator. There is also an honesty bar for guests. There is a shebeen (tavern) with pool tables across the street and braai (BBQ) stands down the road. Vicky or one of her friends can take you on a walking tour of the neighborhood. Full tours of Khayelitsha can also be arranged.

I was just in So. Africa and visited Khayelitsha township. I was pleasantly surprised when we were taken to Miss Vicki's for a meet and tour.
HEr B&B is very charming, clean and comfortable. Mostly we were impressed with her children's program and all she is doing to help improve the lives of the children and families in this township.
