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.

Canal Quays 704 - One bedroom. Waterfront CT.

StarRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Apartment near V&A Waterfront & Convention Centre

IndrėRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is lovely, clean, and well-equipped — it had everything we needed. We also appreciated the clear instructions on how to access the apartment, which made check-in very smooth. The only thing to keep in mind is that the area can be a bit noisy at times, as it’s close to a street and the port. Still, it’s a great place overall!

Marina Beach House

DumisaniRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Entire Modern Home in St. Francis

CynthiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Loved the house and its situation. Beautifully presented. The biometrics required was a hassle but good to know how safe it is. Very good at responding to questions. Loved the kayaking- really didn’t want to leave. A great rental, thank you!

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

We had a fantastic time staying at Colin's place! The location of the house was perfect, and having a boat available was a wonderful bonus. The bedroom was beautifully furnished and very comfortable. Colin was an excellent host, always available for any questions we had. His quick responses and helpful tips made our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great experience. Thank you, Colin, for your hospitality!

A magical home on the Cape Town Waterfront Canals

NickRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.

Absolute Beachfront Apartment-Direct beach access.

LeonieRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Wake up to the waves. Modern, spacious, ocean view

VishaanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wonderful stay with a beautiful view and great location in terms of convenience to attractions. Security was very friendly, helpful and we had peace of mind regarding our safety during our stay. Communication was clear and instructions was easy to follow. Apartment was clean, spacious and we felt like we were home. Bed was comfortable, shower pressure was good. The cool ocean breeze and the fan provided was perfect so no issues with the lack of aircon. Will definitely book again!
