Reviews from previous InAWEStays guests
“Your home away from home. Cosy, safe, very nice restaurants just around the corner for an amazing breakfast and a ten minute walk away from the buzz on Longstreet. And not to forget the amazing views on Table mountain. Very good value for money,” wrote meisnijmegen on their TripAdvisor page.
Ninde added; “We stayed in the Garden Cottage with our two kids. In Awe Stays was a true gem hidden in Camp Street. The staff were friendly, apartments extremely nicely decorated. The level of service was out of this world – from building a safety fence to the bunker bed to cooking pizzas for our kids (together with the kids). You really felt part of family at this place. I can only recommend this place to the fullest. You will not be disappointed! Thanks once again for the most amazing holiday memories!”
“This place is amazing, What a fab find! There are different units available. All self-catering and all very creatively decorated! We stayed in the two bedroomed garden cottage and just loved our stylish place. There is a pool and lots of space to chill and relax. Our little traveller loved the cat, the dog, the hammock and the swing. Doreen created a fab place within easy distance to great restaurants, shops and sights. What a pity we only could stay one night. We will be back for sure!” said TravelSisi.
