Waterfront vacation rentals in South Africa

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..

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.

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.

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. 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 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😊

The view was amazing and the porch is such an enjoyable space.

The place is very nice and clean, the host is kind and patient, will always come back to the same spot. The location is great, secure compound, near the waterfront.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ondine. The house was great, clean and well kept. It has a lovely grass area and pool with a beautiful view. Leon was a great host! Would definitely go back again.

We really enjoyed our stay at Nonka's house. It felt safe and we were met on site by Jesko to welcome us and show us around. The view was spectacular and was very spacious. Would highly recommend 👍

Great place with such a beautiful sea view!! So close to the beach as well! Would definitely stay there again!

We were very impressed by the house. Even more beautiful than in the pictures. We were very impressed and will definitely be back and recommend it to friends and family.

..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!

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.

A great family breakaway in a perfect location. Seeing dolphins from the house added to the spectacular views. Thank you!

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.

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.

Comfortable and peaceful accommodation situated with a stunning view of the Knysna estuary. Beautiful garden with a boma area and a pool. Spacious bedrooms and bathrooms with super comfy beds.

Fantastic views. Comfortable bedrooms and great ablutions. Close to many restaurants and for sports mad world class promenade to run awesome swimming pool to train and great cycling routes. Happy space for the fat triathletes and people who love sea sunsets

Loved staying at her incredible place. The sunset was stunning, everything very clean and Anja gave us some wonderful recommendations. She is a super friendly host - Definitely recommend her place.

Such a great little find! Generously stocked with all the amenities you need, clean and comfortable and in a super convenient location! I would highly recommend this little gem anyone looking to stay in Kalk Bay. Thanks so much for hosting me, Micaela - I really enjoyed my stay!

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.

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.

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!
