Family-friendly vacation rentals in Victoria & Alfred Waterfront

We loved staying here. The weather was a hot mess over our stay and the plunge pool was a dream (it's shaded all day) and there is great AC in the bedroom. The photos don't do the balcony justice – a neat little place to eat dinner each night. The apartment is a laughably short walk from supermarkets, Vida and Prashad's (vegetarian Indian food 10/10), super safe, well-supplied kitchen. Alleyne was very welcoming and kind enough to provide us with milk, bread and fruit on arrival – a nice touch when you're staying for a few days. In a few words: homey and a bit like staying with family (in a good way).

Our children loved the swimming pool and trampoline. The location is good and is a few minutes drive from Lions Head and the cable car station of Table Mountain. The property feels very safe and secure. Cathy is very proactive with her communication and very responsive to messages. I did find having to monitor and top up electricity usage a little inconvenient whilst on holiday, but Cathy was always on hand to assist with this.

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay and Dale was a great host. The location is incredible and very walkable to beaches, restaurants and shops.

Beautiful home and a great space for a family or small group. Located just down the road from botanical gardens in a gorgeous neighborhood. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our group included a couple of small kids so we appreciated that there were plenty of at-home activities when we were not out and about in Cape Town (pool, hot tub, playground, smart TV, books). Wish we could’ve stayed longer — hope to come again!

The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

When the title says « Bohemian », that’s definitely accurate. We came to Observatory to try out a different neighbourhood, and the apartment decoration is definitely not what we’re used to, but is a welcoming change from the bland Cape Town center tower apartments. Note that the building is shared with Elna, and the common entrance is not noise-isolated from the living room and kitchen, but that didn’t bother us too much. Elna has been a very nice host. Would recommend.

We had an amazing time at Jochen's House in Cape Town! This was our second visit, and once again, everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the stunning rooftop view and the relaxing jacuzzi. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay!

Great host, great location and accommodation would definitely go back again

This house is in a great location and has a really central city feel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has all essentials available and there is a lovely cafe across the road which does good breakfasts as well as other restaurants a few minutes walk away. It is well located in central Cape Town making all tourist attractions easily accessible. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were very grateful for this as we locked ourselves out and within twenty minutes someone was able to open the house up and let us in again! Can really recommend the house to anyone who wants to get a feel for more central Cape Town.

Yvette was a great host. Very accommodating. If we needed anything she was quickly responsive. The place was beautifully decorated and very clean and included a couple of luxurious features.

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

I stayed in Dorette's flat for 5 months, and it really did feel like home. The neighbors in the apartment building were very friendly, the flat managed to remain cool during very hot days, the courtyard was very peaceful and private, and Dorette herself was very friendly and very responsive to my questions. I have fallen in love with the Vredehoek area, it is very peaceful (when it isn't windy!) and it was an enjoyable walk to the local grocery store and coffee shop.

We have just had a month's stay here and could not have been happier with everything - host, accommodation and location. The accommodation was spacious and extremely comfortable and we really felt at home. Spencer is an amazing host - he is on things straight away and is super friendly. The location was excellent - close to Constantia Village with shops and supermarkets and a short walk/drive to the wine farm Uitsig with its many restaurants which have lovely views and a really pretty rose garden. There is also a river walk a short way down the road from Spencer's house ( right turn past the horses) that is very pretty. We loved our long stay here and can highly recommend it to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Ticks all the boxes

This beautiful home, this slice of paradise, in the middle of a woodland-based suburban area where safety is something that is next to godliness. Staying at Taryn's little cozy house was an incredible experience for my wife and I. The fireplace, the crockery, the appliances, the massive bathtub, the feeling of home, the color-coordinated book nook, I could go on forever. This will definitely be an area that we will visit again, and this accommodation is by far the best that we've stayed in throughout the world for its elegance, for its class, for its personal touch, and for its modern simplicity. We cannot stress to you enough that our experience at this beautiful gem located in Cape Town in the gardens was something that we will never forget. Cozy blankets, warm fires, delicious food, and great company. The things that make a home.

amazing place that allows easy access to most tourist spots in Cape Town whether city, camps bay, muizenberg, Simonstown and boulders. place is beautiful and has such a nice feeling for two families to spread out. Debbie was super responsive, checking in and out was more than accommodating for our needs. Highly recommend to all. Fantastic stay

This was hands down the best place we’ve ever stayed at! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had every amenity we could possibly need - it truly felt like a home away fromhome. The host was communicative and made the check-in process seamless. The location was perfect, peaceful yet close to everything we wanted to explore. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

Fantastic place, a stones throw from the beach, short walk to the restaurants and amazing sunset views. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and tidied/cleaned daily. Mary Louise and Sean are fantastic hosts - very responsive and were kind enough to let us check in early.

I have to say it is one if the best Airbnbs we stated at, if not the best. It looks exactly like the pictures. The place was spotless and all of the amenities were provided. We felt right at home the moment we stepped into the place. If you are looking for a place to stay at Camps Bay, you found it.

Thanks Roland , It was incredible time we spent there with a nice view Roland was very helpful with clear instructions

The home was as advertised: spotless, comfortable, beautiful facilities and decorated with no clutter. There was an added bonus of the beach being a few metres away. Paul was a perfect host. He communicated with us well before our trip and was readily available to us during our stay. We will definitely be coming back.

Responsive host and lovely place. Views were amazing; building was safe, restaurants and shopping near by. however as foreigners we felt unsafe as a lot of homeless and peddlers at night. Place was extremely comfortable. However would request a tint on the master bathroom glass door for privacy!

A terrific place to stay in Camps Bay and all exactly as descibed. Easy walk to the beach and local restaurants/bars as well as bus pick-ups for tours etc. Uphill walking back but no problem if moderately able. Ubers easily available and not expensive for exploring near or far. No problems as a base if driving yourself. We were an adult party of 5 and really enjoyed our visit to Cape Town. Ingrid was easily reachable and responsive. Would highly recommend and thanks for a great stay!

Perfect stay at Vicky’s place. The appartment is way better than on the pictures, it’s very cozy and you will have everything you need for a fantastic stay. I recommend this place without hesitation :)
