Waterfront vacation rentals in Africa

Great view and the apartment is very clean and very pleasant! I'll be happy to come back.

Ron was so helpful, from start to finish. Very kind and responsive, with lots of hints and suggestions. The apartment is amazing, location perfect and we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend the apartment. Thanks for everything, Ron.

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 .

A great location and a great accommodation unit.

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!

Very good apartment, in the waterfront as best impossible.

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 layout of the house suited our needs perfectly (we have teenagers so the other bedrooms with an extra lounge worked well). The house is comfortable and charmingly decorated. The view is gorgeous. Loved the sharp knives! I also need to compliment Alan on his personalized K-day programme which was at the house on arrival after we mentioned that we were in town for the event. It was a super thoughtful touch. We will definitely return.

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!

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.

very beautiful and clean house

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 spent 5 weeks Feb-March in this apartment, and it met all of our expectations. Clean, with comfortable seating for 4, (something often lacking in holiday rentals) and all necessary facilities to allow us to cook for ourselves when required. An abundance of excellent local bars and restaurants with exceptionally friendly attentive staff made dining out a pleasure. The access to transport to all attractions across the island was also very welcome, with a bus stop across the road and the ferry a 5 minute walk away, and a constant stram of Bolt taxis on hand when required. The walks along the waterfront to St Julians and Valetta are very pleasant with interesting sights along the way, and recommended. We had the added bonus of being in Malta for Carnivale which was breathtaking. Minor queries were responded to promptly by Tina with friendly communication when required.

We, a group of four, stayed comfortably for three nights. The clear instructions from Brett soon after the booking confirmation really helped us to plan and make the full use of our time in Cape Town. His recommendations were great. The apartment has all the facilities listed. Brett proactively fixed a few issues after checking in. There are many restaurants and shops within 100 meters. Also, Milnerton lighthouse and beach are just walkable. We’d happily recommend this place to other travellers!

Nabil was excellent host very responsive and proactive with very instruction, we really enjoyed our time there.

What a wonderful apartment and a wonderful host! I had the most wonderful time. I went as a female solo traveller and I felt incredibly safe the whole time. The apartment was exactly as described. The check-in process was smooth and the instructions were super clear. Palm beach is a short walk away and entry to view inside the ghost town is also nearby. The town is also nearby with some lovely restaurants and very friendly locals. The amenities are wonderful and the mini market staff are super friendly. The pool was always clean and it was a very pleasant place to relax. Dündar was an AMAZING host and was super responsive. He was generous with providing his advice and his warmth via messaging absolutely contributed to the whole experience being very positive. I highly recommended visiting this area and staying in one of Dübar's wonderful apartments. If I ever return to Famagusta, I will be sure to see if Dünbar has availability, as I felt totally at home. Thank you Dünbar!

we had a wonderful time I'm Sophies apartment. could literally have spent days just stating out across the grand harbour.
