Crawford Reviews
More info about Crawford
Crawford is a cosy suburb in the Cape Flats, Cape Town, measuring 8 streets wide by 8 streets in length.
The suburb has a fascinating history; it began in 1929 when well-known businessman ER Syfret donated land to establish a housing scheme for people who had been evicted from District 6. During the Apartheid years, Crawford was the centre of resistance and a Muslim leader, Hadji Haron was detained here in 1969 only to die in jail 37 years later.
The suburb is sandwiched between the M5 highway travelling to Cape Town and the False Bay suburbs, the M7 to the northern suburbs and the N2 to the airport and Stellenbosch. Various schools surround the suburb and the striking Athlone Stadium is nearby.
Crawford is a good central location from which to visit all of Cape Town’s attractions.

About Guest Houses
For a more down to earth experience there are guest houses. Less expensive than hotels, they offer a more homey environment, as well as more privacy. Converted from a private house it’s a much gentler environment and for those with furry friends, there are also pet friendly options. They are usually well situated with shops and places of interest nearby. Being so small it offers a much more personal and intimate attention to it’s upkeep, leaving you with a more polished and homely experience.
