Logement pied dans l’eau

NoelleRating, 5 stars3 months ago
A peaceful place to stay right on the beach. There is a monoprix and several cafes/restaurants (incl. a great rotisserie chicken place and fancier sit down restaurant) walking distance. It is a quick 5-10min Bolt ride to the hustle and bustle downtown. We even walked the length of the beach to the downtown twice during the stay (1 hour walk straight down the beach). Instructions were clear, and it was easy to access despite being down a side road.

Waterfront, canals, CTICC: gorgeous 2-bedrm apart

GodsonRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Marina Beach House

DumisaniRating, 5 stars1 month 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.

Thesen Island water lifestyle

NealRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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

Cape Cottage-A Home Away From Home

JulieRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We loved staying at this cottage, it was so peaceful and comfortable and secure. The kitchen is very well equipped which made it easy to cook meals for our family. The appliances are all great quality. The beds and pillows super comfy and the couch was made for lounging like a sloth in front of the huge tv! Our boys loved heading off on the peddle boat and kayaks for which there are life jackets provided. We loved being protected from the hectic Cape Town winds, this was definitely a haven. Would come back again.

Casa Alba Seaview House

SarahRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
You could not ask for a more perfect location or better view. The hosts were very responsive and helpful with recommendations for sites, car rental, restaurant recommendations, etc. The property is very spacious and the hosts had very nicely stocked some treats and coffee station in the kitchen. There are lots of stairs if mobility is an issue. Only inconvenience was that there was only one key, so unless your group stays together the whole time, it does take some coordination.

Pelican Beach House

RobynRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had the best time at Toni’s cottage at Grotto Bay. The location is perfect from Cape Town and easy enough to venture to Langebaan. The house was lovely and clean with the most incredible views. Waking up to the bright sunlight and sea air was a dream. Check in and check out was seamless. The kitchen had all the amenities we needed. We went for a lovely nature walk around the area (be aware of snakes). Just the best few days of r&r and we will most definitely be back one day.

Modern, 2 bedroom apartment in Sliema seafront

ValRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

(509) Stylish Apartment with Stunning Bay Views

UnnikrishnanRating, 5 stars6 days ago
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!

BlueRating, 5 stars6 days ago
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!
