Namaste Spacious Studio Apartment

The bigger of Lizaan's two studios, and it earns the "spacious" in its name — a double bed, a pair of armchairs and a second double in the seating area, all in one light room, with the kitchenette along the far wall. Stack doors open the whole side of it onto a walled patio with a built-in braai, a table under an umbrella and two tanning chairs.

It is set up for a couple rather than a family: a full-height fridge and freezer, microwave, air fryer, kettle and toaster, with coffee, crockery and wine glasses put out. There is no stove — the host says outright that you're welcome to bring an electric frying pan if you want one — and no washing machine, though there's a laundromat nearby. There's a smart TV with DSTV Compact, Netflix and a sound bar.

Namaste is in Country Club, which the host describes as a very safe part of Langebaan, about five minutes from the shops and restaurants. Guests keep mentioning the welcome snacks and Lizaan's recommendations for where to go. It's a Guest Favourite in the top 10% of listings on Airbnb — 4.94 out of 5 across 155 reviews over eight years of hosting.

Airbnb caps it at two guests and lists it as not suitable for children or infants. The hosts will also set up sparkling wine, chocolates and music for a special occasion if you ask them ahead — at a small extra cost.
