    A wonderful stay in a beautiful city
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Apartment
    • Stayed 4 nights

    The roof terrace (with the pool) would have looked better with a few bits of greenery or large pot plants - but I imagine that might be difficult to maintain given the fierce African sun and the strong local winds. (It's just a 'nice-to-have' suggestion - not at all essential!)

    The apartment was exceptionally comfortable and beautifully furnished. The local area of De Waterkant was just as lovely - a safe, pretty neighbourhood. The owners were charming and super helpful, even when I had problems with my credit card trying to pay them!

    Stunning house in great location with super friendly and accomadating hosts!

    • Stayed 4 nights

    No complaints but the property opposite has installed three strong spot lights which shine directly into the upstairs bedroom. The downstairs room has black out blinds and curtains but this is probably needed upstairs now but this is not a reflection on the property itself or hosts.

    Our hosts were amazing - living and working right next to the property we rented it was super easy to communicate and they were very accomadating over an early and late check in/out. The property itself was of a very high standard with lovely shaded outdoor area. The kitchen was well equipped and both bedrooms had en suite rooms. The location is perfect with the beautifully painted houses of De Waterkant and shops, bars and restaurants minutes away.

    Great location, bright and airy, good wifi, strong AC. Area is very walkable with good restaurants and great cafes for breakfast and lunch nearby. (Also, Waterkant doesn’t have load shedding like much of Cape Town - a real bonus). I arrived early and the were very accommodating with an early check-in. I also changed by return date (extended my stay) and they accommodated that as well, with no problem.

    There is nothing we didn’t like.

    Everything was fantastic. It was our second stay with this host, although a different property from the last. The location is absolutely perfect for exploring the Cape Town CBD, Greenmarket Square, De Waterkant area and the V&A Waterfront (all of which are within an easy walking distance). The property itself had everything you could need, was very comfortable and made for an excellent stay. The rooftop pool was a great place to hang out and enjoy views over. ape Town and Table Mountain. The area itself feels very safe for walking around, and has plenty of excellent restaurants and bars very close by.

    Not a single thing. It was perfect.

    What a perfect spot. Smack bang in the centre of everything, a walk away from the Waterfront, the sea, Bo-kaap, the center of town ... in the most picturesque road imaginable. The apartment has all those luxurious touches - amazing art on the walls, beautiful linen, gorgeous dimmable lighting, a wonderful shower, and a small deck off either side of the apartment. Best of all was the wonderful rooftop pool, that overlooks the patchwork of colourful rooftops and rooftop gardens and has an uninterrupted view of the whole of Table Mountain. I felt like I was in another country. Do yourself a favour and have breakfast under the shade of the beautiful ancient tree at The Charles, 100m down the road. Thank you Henk, you are the most wonderful host, we felt so welcomed ... and will be back!

    Parking during the day could sometimes be difficult as it’s a business area . The interior was showing signs of wear and tear . Torn wall paper in the bedroom next to the nightstand . Towels probably should be replaced as they are hard . The bed mattress was Extremely hard so much so that it felt like sleeping on a board .

    Location in the village . Shops and a variety of restaurants nearby and the waterfront and CTICC also very close by . Felt like home . Great having access to a laundry and the pool. The hosts were awesome . The house has pretty much everything one needs and more. Loved the welcome package .

    Lower ground floor apartment was quite dark. The curtains were very thin so the neighbour could see into the bathroom and bedroom area when the lights were on inside.

    Great property in a reasonable location.

    It's mainly a residential area so quite noisy - barking dogs, neighbour noise from upstairs (especially scraping furniture around), lots of 'every day' neighbour noise from adjoining properties from people on their balconies, rooftops, back yards, etc. We spent 8 nights here and still liked it despite the noise. The apartment isn't that close to any major attractions (apart from Bo Kaap) - e.g. V&A is a 23 minute walk - however, Uber is cheap and fairly reliable.

    Guido and Henk were excellent hosts. The apartment is very spacious and well-equipped (laundry room/ironing board, etc) and tastefully furnished (feels a bit like home-from-home). Nice rooftop area with small pool and sun-loungers and a nice view of Table Mountain. A small balcony with table and chairs. A Spar supermarket is a few minutes walk away. And there was no load shedding!

    Funriture is little bit to big for the room. One of the bedrooms doesn't have airco.
