Babadaud

 
 

Description

Babadaud offers a quiet, friendly and informal refuge for the undemanding traveler. Set in the northern part of town and a few minutes walk from all of the attractions of the CBD, it is the only overnight accommodation not in the business area.

The walled grounds are peaceful and private with a gravelled, off-street parking area. The house was home for a local family for 65 years until 1995 when it was bought by David Cresswell, who is the present owner. The natural evolution of the property has not been altered by renovations or deliberate period and decor schemes. The furnishings and decorative fittings complement the higgledy-piggledy nature of the house. As such it is a rare survivor, a naturally evolved dwelling house, warts and all. Furnishings and fittings are adequate, modest and old fashioned with works from local artists sometimes adorning the walls.
Guest rooms have an en suite shower or bath and is child and family friendly.

Tobacco use is prohibited throughout Babadaud. Alcohol is not served, as use of alcohol is discouraged. We offer a moderate tariff and a wholesome, unfussy cuisine. The premises are only open to resident guests and therefore all visitors need to make a prior appointment. Seekers after themed or up market premises are respectfully referred to other accommodation providers who have made good and costly effort to oblige their desires.

Overnight stay
Nirvanie Ramlakhan, South Africa

We had an excellent stay. David was an excellent and caring host and thoroughly interesting. We intend to stay with him again when we next travel to Cape Town. We enjoyed his beautiful home and the magic of the Karoo!
