Leisure Bay
When we arrived, we went to the wrong place and Graham came to collect us - he even helped and carried some of the bags. The apartment is stunning. Overlooking the sea - what a view! I can't wait to go back because I was not disappointed. By the way - the security lady was so helpful.. Graham is a gem as he kept on checking how we were doing..

Luxury Ocean Front Retreat For Two
We had a great time staying at Christian’s place. Beautiful setting on the cliff path. Obry the host was super helpful, and Cristina was very proactive in her communication.

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.

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

Amazing Ocean Views from Every Room! Backup Power!
Views... unbelievable. Better than what the photos suggest. The apartment is spacious and comfortable and safe. Check in was stress free. Information about the apartment is plentiful and makes for a stay where you are not guessing about anything. We didn't really explore the local area - there is a supermarket about 200m up the street. You can also walk safely along the beach near Milnerton Lighthouse. We found the area to be an easy distance to drive in an out of the CBD/Waterfront area daily.

Always-Power Luxury Sky Retreat
Great week long stay. As a solo traveler, I had a lot of questions. I always received helpful and communicative responses. I often walked places. Other places were a very quick uber away. Would certainly return if I come back to Cape Town.

"Seaside Serenity : Ocean Views, Relaxing Retreat"
The view was amazing and the porch is such an enjoyable space.

Idyllic V&A Waterfront Apartment
This apartment was beautiful! We loved our stay and already discussed coming back before we even checked out. The location was perfect, on the V&A but also had privacy whilst in the room. Mona was great with showing us around and being there at check out too. There’s a booklet with suggestions for restaurants/things to do in each area of Cape Town which was really helpful. Highly recommend!

We loved staying in Nadia’s place. It was spacious and very well located. The access to the beach was a bonus. The place had everything that one would need for a holiday. Highly recommended!

Private path to beach, back-up solar power
..ended up spending 18 wonderful days with lots of reason to be there again. Babette and Cheryl are warm and hospitable. The air is breathable and believe me the house is a perfect escape to relax, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. It’s truly a slice of heaven!

Clean House Stilbaai
We had a lovely and comfortable stay. We were two families of four with young kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better location with the beach on your doorstep and we felt right at home. The house was wonderfully equipped and has everything you need to make your stay as easy as possible and wonderfully clean. We would happily go back and would recommend.

the house at the beach, designer West Coast escape
A great family breakaway in a perfect location. Seeing dolphins from the house added to the spectacular views. Thank you!

Marshall Farm on the river
Such a wonderful, peaceful weekend. Right by the river with a lovely deck to hang out on. Spacious lawn for the young adult to play games. Very private and restful. Thank you David, we will definitely make use of Marshall Farm again.

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.
