Concealed behind high walls down near the university, this bright, contemporary B&B has lots of personality. The nine rooms, including two self-catering apartments, are imaginatively designed and embellished with various African art pieces collected by the owner. Our fave is the loft room Jozi, with its funky decor and supersize bedroom. Dinner available on request.
