Leisure Bay

NhlanhlaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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..

Thesen Island Luxury Penthouse

IngridRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It is our second time staying here and we most definitely come back again. Centrally located with the most beautiful views over the lagoon. Surrounded by restaurants and shops but apartment is private and quiet at night. Kitchen is well equipped with all necessary to cook any meal. Extras like purified water and cookies. Open plan lounge and dining area. Netflix and You Tube available. Lovely bedroom with lots of cupboards. Bathroom with shower and bath. We can recommend this accommodation if you love nature and also like to be centrally located.

Large Apartment Stunning Ocean Views! Backup Power

PhilippRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This home offers by far the most beautiful views we've ever seen on an Airbnb – simply stunning with direct views of Table Mountain, Signal Hill, and Lions Head! You feel at home from the first moment. The apartment is lovingly and tastefully furnished, everything is very harmoniously furnished. The kitchen is conveniently equipped and leaves nothing to be desired. We particularly liked the bright, friendly rooms, which create a wonderfully welcoming atmosphere. We would come back anytime, absolutely recommended!

We had a fantastic time staying at Andrew's place! The apartment was beautifully, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed.

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

AbbyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We don’t usually leave reviews, but this stay truly deserves one. My family and I have stayed in amazing accommodations from Sziwetzlad to Monaco, and this one stands out as unforgettable. The view of Table Mountain is absolutely breathtaking a picture-perfect sight during the day and magical when the city lights come alive in the evening. The home was comfortable, well-kept, and offered everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a memorable Cape Town experience. Great value for money😊

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.

Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)

MichelleRating, 5 stars6 days ago
1st time stay at Bronwyn’s place. Was there for the 8mile charity swim. The proximity to DUCs was fantastic. Her place is clean and has all amenities listed. Not great for restaurants but wow clean and not crowded. Was great to arrive without having to rush to a shop and buy essentials. Fridge stocked and grocery cupboard had stock if needed. Fruit and rusks supplied.

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo

DeniseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

Megan-GeoffreyRating, 5 starstoday
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.

Luxury secure V&A Marina apartment; best location!

CourtneyRating, 5 stars3 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!
