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

5newkings: take a break, relax, explore!
This serene and spacious apartment is bright, sunny and with a spectacular view over the harbour of Kalk Bay and False Bay. We love Kalk Bay and its walkability, restaurants, boho boutiques, and nearby natural ocean tidal swimming pools. This apartment is the answer!

Sea Chi: Wake Up to Wave-Scented Air & Ocean Views
We had a fantastic time staying at Andrew's place! The apartment was beautifully, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed. I did encounter a few issues on arrival but they were resolved swiftly and the communication throughout was perfect. Andrew and Lauren were very accommodating. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! Your apartment was spotless and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I really appreciated your quick responses. You clearly put a lot of thought into making your guests feel welcome, and it showed. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience. We can't wait to come back.

Always-Power DeWaterkant City Sanctuary
The views are great Apartment is spacious and great Very clean and a very safe location. The views of Bo-Kaap and Table Mountain are unmatched.

Windsor House
Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful Kalk Bay apartment! It’s spacious, stylishly furnished, filled with natural light, and offers stunning views of the harbour. The location is unbeatable—steps away from Olympia Café and Harbour House. The mattresses are incredibly comfortable, and it was the perfect spot for our wedding weekend—the bride even got ready here! We’ll definitely be back.

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

32 Quarterdeck Road (C), Kalk Bay
We had a wonderful few days staying at Lynne’s place in Kalk Bay. It was incredibly homely, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable stay. The perfect end to our fortnight in Cape Town- would stay again in a heartbeat.

Waterfront Marina 007 Premium Garden Apt
Ivanka’s place is a great home base for exploring Cape Town. It’s comfortable, private and quiet with beautiful views. It has a private, gated walkway which makes walking to the V&A Waterfront easy. It’s also a quick walk to Waterkant and Green Point. Ubers take a minute to arrive and check in with security first which we appreciated. Ivanka and her son Luca were excellent hosts, met us at check in and even walked over with us to the Waterfront so we could get our bearings. We very much appreciate their kindness and hospitality and recommend their place for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Luxury, Beach Place sleeps 8
We really enjoyed our stay in the lovely Anita’s & Gerrie‘s house in Hout Bay. It’s the perfect accommodation for families or a larger group of friends. The walkable distance to restaurants and stores was bery convenient and the beach is basically right in front of the apartment. Also both of them were super reactive to any questions we had, very much appreciated. Would love to come back!

Marina Beach House
Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Villa Ondine: Cape Town Beach House
Tolle Unterkunft, die unsere Erwartungen absolut übertroffen hat. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Leon ist ein Top Gastgeber, der sofort erreichbar u sehr hilfsbereit war. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Woche in der Villa!!!

Bungalow 21 - On Clifton 3rd by Steadfast Africa
A hidden gem! Amazing views out to the ocean and easy access to the beach. We loved our stay and will book again. Not an issue for us but there are lots of steps from the road down to the property which might be trouble if you are less mobile.

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! 🤍✨

Lakeview family-home in EcoSecurityEstate.Inverter
Wir hatten wirklich eine super Zeit dort. Vor allem für die Kinder wars natürlich ein Paradies, es gab ein paar Spielsachen, und das Hochbett war toll. Außerdem natürlich der Garten, der von der Küche aus einsehbar ist. Insbesondere für Familien ist diese Unterkunft wirklich zu empfehlen. Auf jeden Fall braucht man ein Auto, aber grundsätzlich kann man in Noordhoek und Umgebung wirklich viel unternehmen, ohne weit fahren zu müssen. Nadine war immer erreichbar, hatte super Tipps für uns und wir hatten einen sehr sehr schönen Aufenthalt

Beach House | 1 minute from the beach | Cape Town
Louis's cottage was immaculate and exactly what we needed for the weekend. He's done some lovely alterations to the cottage and it's filled with personal photographs of the beautiful Cape. He communicated well with us, and we knew exactly what to expect. The beds were comfy and the place spotless. I especially loved having a washing machine and tumble dryer available - THANK YOU! Walking to the beach with my morning coffee was such a treat. We'll ba back! :-)
Rooftop Pool | Views | 24h power
Any amazing and very modern space. Very few AirBnB look just like the photos and this place surpassed theirs. The privacy of the bedrooms with such an open concept was great and the outdoor garden terrace and rooftop was perfect. Definitely will stay here again.

On the Rocks in Bantry Bay
Shaun's place is perched on the cliff overlooking one of the most stunning sea views in Cape Town. The sound of the waves crashing on the rocks & the smell of the sea air is magical. The apartment is beautifully decorated with every amenity we could have wanted. My favourite spot was sitting on the open balcony, taking in the beautiful view. The welcome bottle of wine & chocolates was a treat. We didn't bother using the secure parking, as there was always easy street parking right outside the building. There's good security, with 2 layers of secure access. The pool & deck is so perfectly set to enjoy the views described earlier. The roof deck, with 360° mountain & sea views is accessed from stairs right outside Shaun's front door. There are amazing scenic walks in both directions, either towards Sea Point, or towards Clifton, Camps Bay etc. We highly recommend Shaun's place & we will definitely be back when next in Cape Town.

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.

Sea Point Beach Front Gorgeous Apartment
Fantastic views. Comfortable bedrooms and great ablutions. Close to many restaurants and for sports mad world class promenade to run awesome swimming pool to train and great cycling routes. Happy space for the fat triathletes and people who love sea sunsets

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo
I couldn’t have asked for a better location, it was conveniently close to safe walking areas, shops, a beautiful park & restaurants yet was in a relatively quiet road. The apartment is beautifully appointed with absolutely everything you need, especially in the kitchen. It’s light & airy with stunning views. You feel secure & totally at ease there. Very obliging staff, in all, everything to recommend it.

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.

Wake up to the waves. Modern, spacious, ocean view
Beautiful house,Lesley was responsive...so much to do in Capetown.We enjoyed our stay..The bed was comfortable.

Luxury secure V&A Marina apartment; best location!
Cannot recommend this Airbnb enough. Safe and secure location steps away from the Waterfront. Hosts were responsive- they suggested a driver who was familiar with the property, which helped facilitate a smooth transfer from the airport to check in at the condo. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
