    Being British we thought the cost split between 5 was good value for this accommodation.

    Apartment was convenient, but a little dated, plus the apartment had a specific smell which could have been pet odor or maybe even slightly moldy.

    Very safe, great location, convenient parking, fantastic cleaning staff.

    My first booking was cancelled due to non payment when you had my credit card details, no warning or email from yourselves ? As it was over the Easter weekend no 2 bedroom apartments were available so ended up paying for 2 x 1 bedroom apartments which cost an additional A$1,200. I hadn’t realised you had a different payment system especially after I had confirmed and had a confirmation email from you too! I’ve always settled the bill at the beginning or end of our stay with Booking.com ???

    Proximity to the waterfront, great views, quiet, easy location for sightseeing

    The view of my apartment was the only let down of the stay, on the booking it stated mountain view, but i got a unit on the ground floor without a real view.

    The apartment was amazing, the location is also great! A bit of a walk to the shops but the area was great. I really enjoyed the clean, spacious apartment.

    The check-in process is a mission. Why bother with online check-in, as it makes no difference. The staff promised a second key, that they did not have... Be prepared for the maze of parking and apartments. Easy once you figure it out.

    Great city dock location. Spacious. Great views.

    Some technicalities made the stay uncomfortable: the air conditioner in one bedroom was making lots of noise and the one in the other bedroom was not working properly. We slept there for 2 nights very uncomfortable. Location and apartment itself was beautiful but the stay was not the best because we couldn't get proper sleep.

    Location, beautifully decorated and fantastic views to the canal.

    Beds and sofa very hard. I wouldn’t call this luxury accommodation by any stretch - the location itself was though, with views of the waterfront and Table Mountain. Several small snags but they weren’t sorted out despite calling several times. Reception staff were very helpful though.

    Beautiful location with great views and large rooms

    Taxis seemed to find it difficult to locate the reception area for pick ups when we were checking in and when leaving on our trip. On other days you could use the barrier entrance near the Cape Grace Hotel end which worked better.

    Spacious well equipped apartment Great views from the balcony over the waterways. Very convenient location. Nice staff. Very safe security.

    The power backup system made a terrible noise during the hours of sleep. The unit of the bedroom should have a separation panel to avoid any noises from kitchen dinning area. It’s more like a studio apartment than a one bedroom apartment.

    The position to waterfront excellent

    General staff attitude was good but two (don't remember names) were not that helpful especially when looking for the way to the main entrance. They were not clear in their instruction/guidance. But we eventually found our way, and once we found the way to the main entrance it was easy. But it could have been better explained.

    Great location with easy access to the waterfront area in Cape Town. Although quite busy, the complex was quiet. Many tourist attractions nearby, or close to tourist office where trips could and were arranged. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to travel around the Cape Town area.
