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..

Awesome views and unbeatable location. Lynne was very responsive and her communication was clear and useful. We felt at home and very safe in Lynne’s well equipped and modern apartment. I will not hesitate to recommend this place and will gladly stay here again in the future. The checking in and out was smooth and we appreciated the person service from Jurgen during the process.

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.

We loved this house, clean, tidy and above all beautiful and in such picturesque surroundings. A stones throw from the beach and within walking distance of some great restaurants including the heart and melkies. We were fortunate enough to meet James and his family during the course of our stay. Wonderful and really helpful people. We had a fantastic stay and will no doubt be back again.

Villa Vista Mar

GraceRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

We had an amazing time staying at Colin’s place. He was a great host that was attentive and always helpful whenever we had a question or needed something. Communication was seamless throughout our stay. The place was beautifully furnished with a modern, stylish touch and had all the essentials we could ask for. It felt like home away from home. The location was absolutely perfect - right near the top of Kloof Street, with easy access to some of Cape Town’s best cafes, restaurants and attractions.

Lovely property with view of sea and mountains. The private pool deck was great and the sauna a novel bonus. The table on terrace and braai were sheltered despite a howling wind during our stay.

Casa Parea - Central, chic, 3 beds, relaxed home

KatharineRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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 :)

Studio in Central Cape Town, Wi-Fi, pool, parking

LaurettaRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The apartment is in a great location with secure parking which was good for our hire car, and the security and check-in was amazingly smooth. All of the building staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the apartment itself was perfect for what we needed, excellent amenities and the pool was fabulous with incredible views of the city and Table Mountain. We couldn’t figure out how to turn off the light from the air conditioning display which meant I had to sleep with an eye mask on because I prefer a dark room, but it wasn’t a huge problem and I’d much rather have air con than not in Cape Town! The apartment was a perfect base for us to do so many things in and around the city and Brendon was also very helpful and easy to contact. All in all, highly recommended!

LouiseRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay. Brett was very helpful and assisted with our stay extension, even though it was late at night. We felt safe with 24 hour security, and even though we didn't walk around the area, it felt as though it would be safe to do so. We highly recommend it and will go back anytime we're in Cape Town again.

Waterfront Living

Megan-GeoffreyRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Zama’s apartment is lovely. It was spotlessly clean on our arrival. We felt safe and made use of the secure parking. The kitchen is generally well equipped, but the pots and pans are not in usable condition. Others have mentioned the long walk to the waterfront. It’s about a 20-30 minute walk if you follow the pedestrian path along the canal. Continue with the canal path opposite the city lodge hotel all the way to the waterfront and it is quite a lovely walk that didn’t feel taxing for us. The canal walk is open between 6am and 8pm. It’s about a 7 minute drive to the furthest waterfront parking. It was a bit noisy. We stayed over a weekend. The restaurant downstairs played loud music from their outside speakers. There was also some traffic noise. We still slept well though and the bed was comfortable. All-in-all it is great accommodation, good value, and excellent location for exploring Cape Town with a car or uber.

Seafront apartment with magnificent views

SivaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Great apartment in many ways. Kirk communicated with us on the day of the check in, waited for us to arrive, and even helped us with our bags. There was an excellent bottle of wine (so good that we bought a few back) and snacks waiting for us. The location was fantastic - easy 20+ minute walk to the V&A, plenty of great restaurants around, right on the beach for great walks, and amazing sunsets on the balcony (we got takeaway twice just so that we can enjoy that with the great wine). Easy to get an Uber around if needed, too. Two large and comfortable bedrooms with all the usual amenities, which apart from the balcony was all we needed. Highly recommended of you are visiting Cape Town.

V&A Marina - Gulmarn 101 - With Power Backup

SteveRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Just a great apartment in a great location. Great to be able to walk to V&A, museums, markets. Took advantage of the gym, enjoyed having breakfast or reading books on the balcony watching the kayakers paddle by. Francoise made check-in & out so easy & Memory was always smiling keeping the apartment spotless. Having secure parking for the rental car was great and the location meant so easy to onto the major roads to get to all the main places to see. Even the car rental was an easy 10 minute walk. Stayed for two weeks and couldn’t have made a better choice for a safe & relaxing base to explore Cape Point, Table Mountain, Cape L’Agulhas, Stellenbosch, V&A Marina etc.
