LouiseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Perfect location. Stayed in this area quite a few times and this apartment was perfect. Full of light and lovely views out the windows. This is one place we’ll book again. Had everything we needed, coffee, tea, milk,water so we could relax with a drink without having to rush to the shops. Bed very comfy and bedding lovely and soft. Would highly recommend.

It’s a nice apartment, right at the beachfront! We especially loved having real plants and beautiful paintings :) Probably one of the safest locations in Cape Town, at the beautiful sea promenade. At first we were a bit surprised at the bars covering windows and doors, but we soon realized it’s super safe and that is just how Cape Town is. The apartment is well equiped with anything you might need for cooking and the washing machine was a welcome addition. The host was very responsive and always willing to help. The checkin was smooth, it was great to have a person welcome you and take you to the apartment. The apartment was decently cleaned, the beds were comfortable and we enjoyed the stay there :)

Modern apartment - great location

EmmaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Perfect for a short or long stay if you want to be in a central location in Cape Town that’s close to the sea and town. Being able to use the pool on the 6th floor was a great bonus.

Apartment - Doorstep to the promenade

AnandRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is an exquisite property in a. beautiful, secure complex across the road from the beach with easy access to the boardwalk. Well-appointed. Spotless kitchen and bathroom. The living room is lovely, with an adjoining Florida room. Well equipped with washing machine. The views are spectacular. The location is excellent—near the main shopping precinct and within walking distance of some great dining options. Highly recommended.

Relax at Bungalow 22 ~ Clifton 3rd Beachfront

BrendonRating, 5 stars6 days ago
The house is comfortable and has what you need for a great holiday. There is no aircon, but that's the only negative thing I can say (besides the stairs down from the parking). Beyond that, it's incredible. The proximity to the beach is amazing, the views and sounds are awesome. We absolutely loved our time there.

Villa Vista Mar

RachelRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This is our second time staying at the beach house. We loved it so much we returned for our annual trip to Cape Town. Odette is always so accommodating letting us check in early and very responsive. Its great location and excellent amenities means it’s hard to find a better alternative in the area. The property was just as beautiful as we remembered and we loved our stay. Thank you again for hosting us!

Glen Beach Penthouse A on Glen Beach in Camps Bay

KenRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Mary Louise's place is awesome. It is right on the beach, on a section that is quiet from the rest of Camp's Bay beach. Very nice. The view is great and the sound of the waves is very refreshing! The location is down the hill from the road. ML's instructions were very clear and there was no problem with them. Parking is on the street. As an american driving on the opposite side of the street, it took a little manuvering to get right. There are narrow stairs down the hillside, so this place would not be for the elderly or those that struggle with stairs. The beds were comfortable and the showers worked well. The kitchen is well stocked and amenities were good. There is a small grocery in Camp's Bay which is easy to find. It is on the far end of the main commercial area. About a 10 minute walk, located next to the Starbucks. We really liked the robes provided. The whole area was comfortable and relaxing and we had a great stay!

Tranquil Waterfront Hideaway with Stunning Views

AlexRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
The house was incredible and the amenities were fantastic. The house had everything we needed and more. We really felt welcome and at home. Beautiful decor. There were a couple good restaurants and grocery stores nearby, although the store area and surrounding neighborhood felt a bit sketchy at times. The neighborhood where the house is felt very safe and comfortable to walk in.

Luxury townhouse in vibrant De Waterkant

ElizabethRating, 5 stars2 days ago
Zebra house exceeded our expectations in every way. This lovely, old and characterful house is beautifully decorated with art pieces; the kitchen was cosy and the beds were wonderfully comfortable with high quality linens. The Bo Kaap neighbourhood is central for many activities and has some great cafes and restaurants. Helet greeted us on arrival and give us lots of information about the area and Cape Town generally. We had a fabulous stay and would love to return.

On the Rocks in Bantry Bay

AndyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Great location, in between Camps Bay and Sea Point. flat is really nicely decorated throughout. Our only gripe was the blinds in the bedroom aren’t that effective in keeping the light out. Whilst we didn’t make much use of them there is a great roof terrace as well as a pool. Shaun was really communicative and quick to respond to any questions. Nice bottle of wine in the fridge for our arrival too! Would recommend

A magical home on the Cape Town Waterfront Canals

HannieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our stay at this Airbnb was absolute bliss. The beautiful building, serene canal, and morning birdsong created a magical atmosphere. The private pool and tasteful decor added a touch of luxury, while the cozy ambiance made me feel right at home. Laurene’s (the host) exceptional care, especially during the holiday season, ensured a smooth and memorable stay. I couldn't have asked for a better place to recharge my batteries and spend quality time with my family. It's a perfect score from me!

Stay close to the beach on this 2bd, 2ba apartment

TammyRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Thank you so much Mihlali, your place made it so easy to be there for the ‘freedom swim’ between robben island and big bay. We could watch on the beach, relax and be close by for this momentous moment! Your place was clean, spacious, and still felt homely. The area had all the amenities in the Eden on the bay Centre but the nearby mall made it easy to do additional shopping and we made it to visit the Greenhaus! We would definitely stay here again.

Sea Point Beach Front Gorgeous Apartment

BevRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The apartment was exactly like the photos, really well appointed and nicely decorated. The view made it spectacular. Marlene was very attentive. A word to the wise however, if you are a group attending an event or any late night functions, it will inconvenience the neihgbours as it is a residential apartment block.

Canal Quays NO LOAD SHEDDING Two Bedroom Apartment

SvenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Very nice large, tastefully and sensibly furnished apartment with very good equipment in safe TOP location. The entire Canal Quays facility is closed all around, and is guarded around the clock. A contact person is almost always in the house. Large balcony overlooking the canal. In a few minutes you can walk to the waterfront. Johan is always approachable and friendly.
