Dear Guest, Thank you for posting a review about us and we hope you enjoyed your stay here. Jambo is a more than 100 year old house and we decided to keep this Olde Worlde feel about it hence the "a bit dated" feel ! Thanks once again. Warm regards Barry and Mina

Dear Guest, Thank you so much for posting a review about us, we really appreciate it. Warm regards Barry and Mina Jambo Guest House

Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to post a review about us although there are a few things we would like to respond to. We enjoy meeting and interacting with our guests and breakfast time affords an opportunity for our guests to interact with each other and for us to impart some of our knowledge of the Cape. We love the interaction we have with our guests and feel that their limited time here in the Best-City-in-the-World is very precious and try to make sure that they get the best of what Cape Town has to offer. For this reason we sit down with our new arrivals with maps and give as much information as we can about where to go, where to eat, what to see, where not to go etc. and part of that is the City Sightseeing buses which we think are a wonderful way to get an overview of the city Many of our guests choose to join us in the evenings in our lounge where sometimes Barry plays guitar and sings and where often the guests join in and at other times they take over the guitar and the piano. Yes we do serve the same breakfast every day consisting of a platter of freshly cut seasonal fruits, cereals, yoghurts, stewed fruit, hard and soft cheeses, ham and salami, muffins, tea, a variety of herbal teas and freshly brewed coffee, two types of bread and two types of bread rolls, fresh from the bakery every morning. We serve two varieties of fruit juice, both 100% pure juice, no additives and not diluted so we are not quite sure what you mean by “better juices” ? Eggs are not on our everyday menu but are supplied on special request. We serve breakfast between 08.00 and 10.00. This is because the bakery where we get fresh-from-the-oven rolls every morning only opens at 07.00. Should anyone need an earlier breakfast yoghurt, cereals, coffee, tea and juice are available.

Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for giving is a high 5 ! We are happy you enjoyed your stay with us. Warm regards Barry and Mina

Dear Shelagh, Thanks a lot for taking the time to give us a review. Much appreciated. We hope we can be your hosts again ? Warm regards Barry and Mina

Dear Alex, Jambo is a beautiful 130 year old Victorian styled building. We prefer eclectic furnishings as we find chrome, glass and modern very cold. Had you taken the trouble to view the virtual tour on our website then you would have seen that "What you see is indeed, what you get " We have just been re-graded 4 Stars by the TGCSA. We do have some onsite free parking and Barry will gladly act as a "parking valet" if guests experience trouble with our narrow streets. WiFi is free, limitless, available throughout the property and is never "begrudgingly offered" as you stated. You have forgotten to mention the view of our beautiful garden from your bed, the bird songs plus the sheer tranquility even though we are located in the city centre. We hope you will return to enjoy more of South Africa. Regards Barry and Mina
