25 Leinster Road Green Point Cape Town

0823044000 Avatara is an ideal place to explore the delights of Cape Town from.

Opened in 2008 Avatara, with its high ceilings and polished wooden floors, combines the best of the old and the new. Each of its spacious rooms retains beautiful period features together with stylish modern fixtures and furnishings including tasteful en suite bathrooms, luxuriant king/queen-size beds and flat screen TV's. There is a communal kitchen and a tranquil patio space where guests enjoy a

buffet breakfast in the mornings or relax with and mingle in the afternoons. Coming from the Hindi word meaning 'heaven on earth', Avatara is indeed a slice of tranquility beside the bustling heart of the city. Loved for the convenience of location, guests simply walk to popular sights and especially enjoy the hundreds of unique restaurants on offer in the neighborhood. Some call it the 'Soho' of Cape Town, Green Point is a neighborhood spilling out from the slopes of Signal Hill and the city centre which makes it part historical, part city-life and yet very much a desired living destination of the Cape.

In the heart of Cape Town, one man’s quiet idea has quietly changed hundreds of lives on the streets. Michael Elion started the Secret Love Project years ago as a simple urban art effort, sticking hearts around the city to spark kindness and connection. What began as a design project during Cape Town’s World Design Capital year grew into a registered charity that hands out free packs of heart-shaped stickers to homeless and vulnerable people. These vendors sell them to motorists and passersby for R20 a pack, keeping every single cent no cuts, no middlemen.

The numbers show real impact: the project now supports over 500 vendors daily, generating around R3,6 million a year in direct earnings for people who need it most. That money buys food, shelter, clothes, and basic dignity for folks often ignored or pushed aside. Supporters praise it for restoring pride, cutting crime, and building community bridges without the usual red tape of big aid systems. Critics might wonder about long-term solutions or dependency, but the straight-up approach give tools, let people hustle has vendors reporting less jail time, more hope, and real steps off the streets. It’s a grassroots reminder that small acts of love, backed by donations and community buy-in, can deliver tangible results where traditional systems sometimes fall short.

A long time ago a very famous dog, named Max was flown in from Switzerland to stay at Avatara... He was on a commercial shoot and had his own chaperone and carers driven around in a Mercedes... Here's their message as well as a regular guest from Australia who was originally South African. And then a pioneering couple who had driven from Alaska to Ushuia and all of Africa ending at Avatara...how blessed I was to meet so many fascinating people 💗
