1Bed Unit by the Sea with Views!
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.

One Bedroom in Waterfront Marina. Free parking.
As described Close to waterfront and safe within the development. Good communication Perfect size for 2 people for a short stay

V and A Waterfront Gulmarn 004
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

Stylish apartment near Waterfront
Lovely Airbnb. Linda was welcoming and very communicative. Would highly recommend.

Waterfront, canals, CTICC: gorgeous 2-bedrm apart
Perfect stay. Flexible and easy checkin, and the apartment itself was well appointed and spotless. Great location too. Will definitely be staying again. Thank you for hosting us.

Canal Quays 704 - One bedroom. Waterfront CT.
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!

Lagoon Facing Apartment, Spa & Water Paradise
This was one of the best Airbnb stays I’ve had! The host was incredibly responsive .

Apartment near V&A Waterfront & Convention Centre
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!
Waterfront house rentals

Marina Beach House
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
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.

Modern, airy waterside home with scenic views
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

Thesen Island water lifestyle
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!

Cape Cottage-A Home Away From Home
2nd time booking. Had a lovely stay. This time with my son that loved the open air. Definable a gem and worth booking!

Laid back luxury canal house
Great house in a great location. Got exactly what we wanted out of it. It’s even nicer than the pictures. Joe was a great host

Pelican Beach House
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.

19 Long Island waterfront villa with heated pool.
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!

Durban Point Waterfront, Cosy Harbor View Studio
Khosi's place was exactly the way it was described, it's a peaceful and clean place, she's also very responsive and that helped a lot. My partner and I really enjoyed staying there, wish we could've extended our stay but we'll definitely will be coming back again.

Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)
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.

Cape Town Beach Accommodation
My second time I have stayed here, and will definitely book again in future. Perfect location with easy access to the beach.

A magical home on the Cape Town Waterfront Canals
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.

(509) Stylish Apartment with Stunning Bay Views
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!

Absolute Beachfront Apartment-Direct beach access.
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!

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo
It felt like home, the view is incredibly amazing.. the sound of the ocean in the morning made me feel very cosy, staff was very very friendly and helpful.. its very close to waterfront , we woke up and went for a walk by the beach… i would 100% recommend it

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