Waterfront vacation rentals in South Africa

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The apartment was immaculate and very comfortable. Beautiful views of the promenade and the park. Jayson and his team were helpful and responsive. We also found the security guards in the complex very friendly and helpful.

My family absolutely loved the apartment. They did not want to leave. Loved that the beach was a walking distance from the apartment. The area is safe and clean.

As described Close to waterfront and safe within the development. Good communication Perfect size for 2 people for a short stay

We had a wonderful holiday in a lovely apartment with all the amenities. we had great communication with Cathy, who was very helpful and friendly. unfortunately we had to cut our vacation short owing to a bereavement at home. However we are keen to return next year and will be happy to book again in the near future, many thanks to Cathy for all her help and assistance

We had a wonderful three weeks at Linda's place. Linda is super responsive and helpful. The building is very secure. There are two large windows that open to a quiet inner courtyard. In the courtyard is the lap pool and also a cafe which serves delicious menu for breakfast and lunch. The Wi-Fi was excellent for both of us to work efficiently. The location is perfect, easy 10-15 min walks to the Bo-Kaap, the Waterfront, Museums, and the Greenmarket Square, and less than a 5 min walk for groceries. Perfect. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

A Wonderful Stay That Felt Like Home Most often when you book via Airbnb, the actual place can differ from what’s shown in the pictures. That wasn’t the case here. I came with my family, and we instantly felt at home—the kids absolutely loved it! The view from the apartment is stunning. You can clearly see Table Mountain, the port side, the canal, and the overall beautiful surroundings. If we get a chance to come back, we will definitely book this apartment again. Thank you for hosting us and making our stay so memorable!

We stayed here for more than a week. It was spacious and clean. It had a working kitchen and washer/dryer. The water pressure was strong, and the hot water for the shower worked well. It was located just a stone's throw away from the AC Marriot and a short walk to the V&A. The host was very easy to talk to. They met us in person when we arrived and saw us off when we left. This listing looks better in real life than in their pictures! Will book again when we come back! Thank you for such a wonderful time!

This was one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had! The host was incredibly responsive .

Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

The house looks exactly like the pictures, which is to say that the entertaining space in the house is fantastic, hugely spacious and well fitted out with upmarket furniture and cooking utensils etc. The sun is on the deck all day but we didn't in fact make use of that, preferring to be out and about exploring. Calvin was responsive and sorted out a very minor issue promptly. We are hoping to come again next year - that shows how much we enjoyed the house.

We had a fantastic stay at Cecile’s house. It was just like the pictures, beautiful location and Cecile was so helpful. The welcome package she left us was lovely too

We have spent many holidays on Thesen Islands over the years, renting multiple homes on multiple islands. We have now found the perfect home for us. What you arrive to is so much better than any description or picture and exceeded all of our expectations without exception. It's a stunning North facing location with a wonderful view up the main canal. The home is very well appointed and most notably, for us and for my wife, spotlessley clean. Also very notably we were supplied with the small things that make a big difference and give you a sense of generosity by the hosts; toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, sponges, washing powder, hand soaps etc (you'll be shocked how many home stays don't supply the small things). We are so appreciative to Ilsebe for sharing her lovely home with us. 2026 is already booked. Can't wait! The Farrells

2nd time booking. Had a lovely stay. This time with my son that loved the open air. Definable a gem and worth booking!

This house really exceeded expectations. It’s a beautiful home in a perfect location within St Francis. Joe was really good at communicating as well.

We stayed at the end of our trip for almost a week in the beautiful house of Toni. It was great to see the sunsets from the terrace and you can make excursions to Cape Town. The surroundings are very quiet and the sea view is beautiful. Everything was just great. Thanks!

Came to Tide Verge with our family for the second time. It’s was as fabulous as we remembered from the last time. So much to do and explore for the children and grown-ups. Gorgeous places to eat, great hikes and beaches to visit and wonderful afternoons spent splashing in the river (and jumping from the Red Bridge). Thank you!

Loved everything about the apartment especially the location which is a walkable distance from uShaka Marine , the beach and the promenade. Khosi is always available to respond and the location is very safe.

What can I say about Bronwyn? She has helped us how no end she’s been calm relaxed helpful helped us out a lot. The place is amazing. The view is amazing. The people are amazing. This is definitely a place to go. If you wanna relax. We will definitely be coming back here with my wife.

Very nice place! Communication with the host was very quick and easy. Location is amazing, perfect for a holiday visit. Very clean, which we loved. We would love to come back again :)

Lovely accommodation in a fantastic location. Una was super helpful and friendly and made things easy for us. Thank you so much!

Don't stay anywhere else in Cape Town! Wonderful, safe location within walking distance of so many great great restaurants and sites at the marina. We got very very cheap Bolt or Ubers everywhere else. It is a wonderful location. lovely outdoor area to relax with little pool to cool off, perfect and comfortable outdoor furniture. inside is spacious, clean, tastefully decorated with everything you need. Bed and bedding are very comfortable. Laurene was so helpful and communicative. Truly a great place to stay and so much better than a hotel room. We wouldn't come back to Cape Town without being able to stay here. Thank you.

We had an amazing stay at Brett's apartment. The location was perfect, and the apartment was clean, comfortable and with everything you might possibly need to make your stay as comfortable as it can possibly be. We'd highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a great place to stay in Milnerton. Thanks, Brett, for a wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful stay! The little private beach right on the doorstep was fantastic and we had the best sunsets!! Anel was so flexible with the check-in time, which we really appreciated seeing that we had to check out at Paternoster quite early in the day. We had wonderful weather and made a trip to Kraalbaai, which was absolutely worth the trip. Overall, a great experience! We hope to visit again!

Our family had a lovely stay at Esta-Marita's gorgeous apartment, directly facing the ocean. The apartment is incredibly conveniently located for the weekend market, for events at the stadium, and for exploring the Waterfront area of Cape Town. The building staff were extremely responsive and helpful, letting us into the parking garage, explaining the kes and apartment amenities to us. The apartment was glorious -- panoramic views of both sunrise and sunset over the ocean!! The kitchen is vast, allowing us to cook meals as a family. There are also a lot of local restaurants and cafés in the neighborhood; but cooking at home is always nice for a family. Everything worked perfectly in the apartment. We are so grateful for such a lovely, gorgeous place to base our family in, as we explored Cape Town! THANK YOU so much, Esta-Marita!
