Emerald Apartment - Spacious 2Bedroom Apartment
Great stay here, in an amazing location! Thanks for having us!

Central Studio w/ Roof Terrace
Great little place to stay. We booked the one with the private terrace which was perfect. Location is spot on too, very near town and only 10 minute taxi to the Bay. Annoyingly I didn't have time to use the shower but the bathroom was very tidy. Was quite weird that the door knew my name but also reassuring that we were in the right place. Not sure if I didn't read the info correctly but there is non permit parking that is quite reasonable right outside the property. I'd booked parking elsewhere but didn't need to. On busy days, it might be needed but we stayed on a week day. Definitely better than a hote and would stay there again.

Spacious, waterfront apartment & parking space
The apartment is a wonderfully beautiful & peaceful place. My stay has been amazing, the sanctuary of calm & serenity I so desperately needed on a very intense work trip. I tend to get quite home sick when I'm away and this flat has given me the cuddle feeling you get when you are at home. I have no doubt that I will use the apartment as my go to if ever I need to be in Cardiff again. Also, don't be deterred by the traffic, it acts as a lovely faint white noise - it's fabulous for sleeping (and I'm a light sleeper)! I worked from the flat on one of the days, and caught myself meditatively watching the cars go past, the swans milling around and felt very serene. Thank you Claire, for everything, your place is amazing.

Cardiff Bay comfortable 2-bed flat
Great place to stay for a weekend away in Cardiff. Short walk to Mermaid Quay. Really peaceful location. Spacious and very clean, comfy beds. Bonus of a secure parking space. Host was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Would 100% recommend.

Cardiff Bay Escape – Stunning Views & Free Parking
I had a wonderful stay! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location was convenient, and the host was friendly and responsive. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to others!

Cosy apartment Cardiff bay 5 mins to centre
Fabulous location and easily walkable between both the exciting city centre and the culturally inviting Bay area. This accomadation quite rightly boasts its remarkable views of the river, is peaceful and private, modern, comfortable and yes, as cosy as stated! Seriously, the underfloor heating in the bathroom is a joy! This was my first visit to Cardiff and as a writer and tourist I can absolutely say my inspirations were tweaked! The hospitality of Gemma and Shaun was friendly, accomodating and respectful! Perfick!

Lovely house in a decent location that is walkable to the seafront. Very clean and comfy beds! Bit bright through the blinds from the lamp posts and then first thing in the morning but not a major issue for us. Thank you!!

Beautiful house perfect for family holidays. Loved lazy days out with kids on the kayaks & rowing boat! Would definitely recommend. Alex was a great host & very helpful. Will definitely be back again one day…

We spent 2 weeks at Woodbank House and had the best time. The highlights are the kitchen and the grounds. The skies at night are amazing. Bess is a terrific host, perfect communication and so helpful. Thank you so much, I hope we get a chance to stay again! X

Comfortable house in a peaceful and private setting. Had fun listening and feeding the birds in the garden and on the canal. Great location to walk into the town centre and the bay and had a great stay.

Waterfront condo rentals

Belgravia Mansions - Peaceful Georgian 3BR Seaview
This was the perfect place for our family to come back to each evening to relax. It was clean, cozy, and Lucy had all the accommodations we could’ve asked for. She was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay, and even had a helpful guide in the home. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the area!

Luxury 2 Bedroom waterfront apartment with balcony
Lovely Airbnb. Flat was as described and in a good location. The garage was very helpful, we have a 7 seater Peugeot 5008 and it fit. Very clean and tidy. Had everything we needed to cook, close to the station and restaurants nearby. We would stay again if in the area.

Beachcomber Annexe with sea view
Lovely apartment, great location within walking distance to beach front and all amenities. 5 min walk from town centre.

Luxury Apartment in Historic Building–Cardiff Bay
Lovely spacious apartment. Perfect location. We were attending an event at the Principality Stadium and both walked (30 mins) and got the bus from outside the apartment (number 6) easy enough. Restaurants, coffee shops and supermarkets all very close on the bay. A little hard initially to find the parking but fine once located. One of the beds was not made up on arrival but the team were really helpful and sent someone over straight away. Would definitely stay again!

The Bank - Apartment
We had a fabulous stay in Nick’s apartment. It is beautifully decorated and has everything that you need. The location was also perfect for exploring Cardiff. Nick was so helpful and responded to my messages really quickly. I’d thoroughly recommend a stay here and will definitely be back!

Spacious, Bright. perfect for WMC & Principality
lovely one night stay at Tobias's flat for an event at the Principality Stadium. Flat was immaculate and easy to find. Nice stroll up onto Cardiff Central and Mermaid Quay only a 10min stroll for restaurants and bars on the docks. Very friendly and responsive host. Thanks 😊
