Panoramic Atlantic Ocean & Harbour View Villa

RavenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

V&A Marina - tranquility on the waters edge

AndreaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

LizzieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

3 Bed With Fireplace & Sea Views from 2 Balconies

AlisonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It was the most beautifulf home in the most beautiful setting, with views of Chapman's Peak and the ocean and a calming home to view them from. The house is well-located and walking distance from the beach, restaurant and shops making it an easy location to stay with kids or guests not wanting to drive far. We enjoyed morning runs up Chapman's Peak and coffee breaks at local coffee bars. The house was clean, generous in space and beds were incredibly comfortable. The host was always available for a quick query. We highly recommend this spot!

Rocklands Studio

АлесияRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
We were very pleased with our stay with the owners. They met us when we arrived. Before the meeting they sent us the exact point of the house so that it would be easy for us to find it. The owners explained in detail where and what is and how to use what. But the most important thing is the view from the apartment - it will not leave anyone indifferent. This view was magnificent. We thank the owners for the cozy and beautiful housing.

Marina Beach House

DumisaniRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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 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!

Stunning Simons Town Ocean View Cottage w Inverter

KazRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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! 🤍✨

On the Rocks in Bantry Bay

GaryRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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.

(3) Beachfront views of Table Mountain

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.

Luxury secure V&A Marina apartment; best location!

CourtneyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
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!
