Vicky's B & B

Vickey Ntozini started her B & B in 1999. She is the pioneer of Township B & B's, and has become a well-known figure both locally and internationally.

Advertinsing is by word of mouth, and business has blossomed over the past years. Most guests are foreign as locals unfortunately, still do not venture out to meet their fellow countymen.

Vicky lives with her husband and childrenin site C, Khayelitsha, and has opened her home to visitors. There is always a steady stream of tourists in and out of the Ntozini household.

She serves dinner and breakfast. Evening entertainment is either across the road at the Waterfront Tavern (the original Waterfront) having a beer, playing a game of pool, dancing or talking to residents; being shown around by the children of the area or sitting inside watching TV and chatting to the family.

Vicky has said that she could not carry on with this venture without the support of her entire community who also benefit. Visitors send school books, stationery, clothes, sweets and other donations for the children. Vicky enlists the help of neighbours when she is busy, and also arranges outings for children (on condition their school reports are good) to Robben Island or Table Mountain, for example.

Not only does she have guests staying over, but she also caters for various functions. Big groups have had her cater for breakfasts, lunches and dinners which are held elsewhere in Khayelitsha.

Her husband helps with transporting guests to and from the house, and the children get involved in entertaining them. As such it has become a family-run business, and the warmth and hospitality is something that needs to be experienced first hand. Make sure you put it high on your list of to-do's when visiting Cape Town, or more specifically Kahyelitsha.
