Stylish 2 BDR Apartment with Stunning Views!
Enjoyed my stay with my family

Lovely Art Deco appartment, Beach Road, Sea Point
We loved our stay! Beautiful place with a great view of the water. Kitchen was spacious.

Panoramic Atlantic Ocean & Harbour View Villa
This home has absolutely stunning views. The sunrises from the space were unparalleled. The space is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Aissa, the host, was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely responsive and flexible. I had an incident where I left my phone in an Uber. Aissa assisted me for hours (well into the next morning) until my phone was recovered. She lives in the property next door which was convenient as she is able to attend to any issues you may have. The view from the bedroom is stunning. I am not a morning person but let me tell you- I intentionally woke up early every morning to catch that sunrise. Beautiful space and absolutely lovely host. Thank you Aissa for a beautiful stay.

Trendy Apartment w/ Amazing Ocean Views & Bicycle!
What an amazing place!! Will definitely be staying there again. No problems at all, the apartment was beautiful and was located right on the promenade with so much to do around us. Cannot give this AirBnB enough compliments.

V&A Marina - tranquility on the waters edge
What an incredible place to stay. Security around this neighborhood is excellent. Perfect location - minutes walk to everything in the V&A Waterfront. The condo itself is also perfect. Huge master bedroom with king size bed and enormous en-suite bath. Second bedroom has two twin beds and a large hall bath. Kitchen has everything you need including a washer and dryer, and the open living room / dining room combo is awesome. The best feature of this place, by far, is the back patio. The condo is on the lowest level, so just above the canal, and there is a comfy seating area (chairs and couch) to have your coffee and watch the water. Also, Matthew (Jeremy's assistant) is fantastic. He met us outside on arrival, made sure we had cards and keys, and then gave us a tour of the condo and answered all questions. He was also available by text throughout our stay in case we needed anything. Really a fantastic place. We will not stay anywhere else while in Cape Town.

Waterfront, canals, CTICC: gorgeous 2-bedrm apart
The condo was just like the pictures. Spacious and well stocked. The location was good, easy walk to the waterfront and felt very safe. Glad we stayed here.

modern cottage with beach views
My partner and I stayed here for a few days whilst working remotely. The surrounding area was great for a pre-work walk and coffee, and there was plenty of restaurants and bars for post-work. The house was lovely, very clean and with good facilities. I would definitely stay here again.

Apartment near V&A Waterfront & Convention Centre
I had a great stay at Chris’s Harbour Bridge apartment, which is conveniently located within a short walk of the Cape Town International Conference Centre. The unit was comfortable and well-equipped, with secure underground parking and easy access to the building, making it a hassle-free and secure stay. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the area!

Perfect Beach Getaway
We stayed at this lovely place for two weeks and felt at home immediately. Very spacious and cozy 2-bdr/2bath with spectacular views and sounds of the ocean just across the road from the beach. Very convenient underground parking; supermarkets, stores, restaurants either in walking distance (or easy 5min drive). Cape Town only 30min away. James and his family were the most wonderful hosts we've ever had, extremely friendly and helpful at all times. We'll definitely be back soon! Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories.

Sunset Apartment, Arum Place Kommetjie Beach House
It is a second time we stayed at this specific place and will definitely return! It is an overwhelmingly positive experience in many-many ways.

Stunning ocean view house with indoor pool
Nice place in a very peaceful neighborhood.

Villa Vista Mar
BEAUTIFUL AND LUXURIOUS! Our family was very impressed with this home. Very modern, beautifully decorated, and well equipped. We can’t wait to return. Love all the en-suite bathrooms, beds are comfortable, great space to accommodate larger travel groups. The ocean view from the upper deck was stunning. We almost didn’t want to explore around because we enjoyed the home so much! Walkable to many places, safe, secure, and Odette and Bella were very kind!

Stunning Simons Town Ocean View Cottage w Inverter
I really enjoyed my stay in Cape Town! The house is lovely, cozy and so welcoming. The surrounding view is stunning from the deck and I really got my steps in walking around and down the Capstan Steps. My hosts, Joel and Anchenn are incredibly kind and went out of their way to show me around Simons Town and Cape Town proper. They made this the perfect break and I can’t wait to be back! 🤍✨

Tranquil Waterfront Hideaway with Stunning Views
the house is like an art gallery so artistic & neat it is .. everything you need you will find ready for you to use .. loved it 🥰

Casa Parea - Central, chic, 3 beds, relaxed home
Me and my family stayed at Don & Jaco's for a week and it was the perfect stay. Their place is absolutely stunning, very homely and the perfect location. Don was an amazing host meeting us at the the time we arrived to show us around the house and run through security information. He was then super responsive throughout our stay and very flexible with our check out time. The house is in a very safe area in Cape Town with many shops, restuarants and the beach in walking distance. I would 100% reccomend staying here :)

Cape Cottage-A Home Away From Home
Marina Da Gama in itself is a gem - the tranquility, canoeing on the waterways, abundant birdlife etc. Jessica's house exceeded expectations - very well located, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. I enjoyed the easy and direct access to the water using the really good canoes provided and the surprisingly efficient pedal boat. The fynbos garden is immaculate and attracts beautiful birds. Lovely indoor braai in the lounge that opens up the outside via enormous fold back doors making the whole place very light and airy. No complaints, only praise for this wonderful location.

Bliss on the Bay - Beach Road Condo Surf Spot
We loved our stay here! The ocean views were amazing and a perfect spot outside of Cape Town but not too far. Easy to drive to neighboring towns.

A magical home on the Cape Town Waterfront Canals
Incredible, spacious apartment in a convenient location. Lauren personally ensured that we had a great vacation.

(509) Stylish Apartment with Stunning Bay Views
My parents and I enjoyed our stay at Brett & Henry's apartment in Milnerton. The apartment was SPOTLESS and looked exactly like the pictures. The sunset views of Table Mountain were breathtaking. The location was close to Canal Walk. The apartment had everything we needed, we enjoyed the access to Netflix & DSTv, the fans in both rooms, and appreciated the thoughtfulness of providing body wash and shampoo for both bathrooms. The only minor downsides were related to the surroundings which are entirely out of the hosts' control - we noticed a few homeless people around the tennis courts at the front of the building (they didn't bother anyone though) and Koeberg Road was very busy with lots of Taxis and busses which tend to abruptly stop in front of you (we had a minor accident because of this). Despite this, I would highly recommend this place. Brett & Henry were super responsive and we loved that we could text them directly with queries.

Waterfront Living
Great location next to the CTICC , two minute to the show halls. The apartment is warm and comfortable. Great stay , will book again next year.
