Leisure Bay
When we arrived, we went to the wrong place and Graham came to collect us - he even helped and carried some of the bags. The apartment is stunning. Overlooking the sea - what a view! I can't wait to go back because I was not disappointed. By the way - the security lady was so helpful.. Graham is a gem as he kept on checking how we were doing..

Flamingo View
I had an absolutely amazing stay at Marleens place! The views are amazing and the studio is super cosy and comfortable. Marleen was also super helpful and friendly. Can highly recommend this stay!

5newkings: take a break, relax, explore!
This serene and spacious apartment is bright, sunny and with a spectacular view over the harbour of Kalk Bay and False Bay. We love Kalk Bay and its walkability, restaurants, boho boutiques, and nearby natural ocean tidal swimming pools. This apartment is the answer!

Sea Chi: Wake Up to Wave-Scented Air & Ocean Views
We had a fantastic time staying at Andrew's place! The apartment was beautifully, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed. I did encounter a few issues on arrival but they were resolved swiftly and the communication throughout was perfect. Andrew and Lauren were very accommodating. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! Your apartment was spotless and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I really appreciated your quick responses. You clearly put a lot of thought into making your guests feel welcome, and it showed. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience. We can't wait to come back.

Windsor House
Absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful Kalk Bay apartment! It’s spacious, stylishly furnished, filled with natural light, and offers stunning views of the harbour. The location is unbeatable—steps away from Olympia Café and Harbour House. The mattresses are incredibly comfortable, and it was the perfect spot for our wedding weekend—the bride even got ready here! We’ll definitely be back.

Panoramic Atlantic Ocean & Harbour View Villa
This home has absolutely stunning views. The sunrises from the space were unparalleled. The space is clean, comfortable, and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Aissa, the host, was an absolute pleasure. She is extremely responsive and flexible. I had an incident where I left my phone in an Uber. Aissa assisted me for hours (well into the next morning) until my phone was recovered. She lives in the property next door which was convenient as she is able to attend to any issues you may have. The view from the bedroom is stunning. I am not a morning person but let me tell you- I intentionally woke up early every morning to catch that sunrise. Beautiful space and absolutely lovely host. Thank you Aissa for a beautiful stay.

Harbour Bridge Foreshore Cape Town Artistic Beauty
Washer dryer in unit were exactly what I needed. Pierre was an extremely helpful host and it was so easy to book Ubers here and receive courier packages. Would recommend as a home base to enjoy Cape Town!

32 Quarterdeck Road (C), Kalk Bay
We had a wonderful few days staying at Lynne’s place in Kalk Bay. It was incredibly homely, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed for a comfortable and memorable stay. The perfect end to our fortnight in Cape Town- would stay again in a heartbeat.

Luxury, Beach Place sleeps 8
We really enjoyed our stay in the lovely Anita’s & Gerrie‘s house in Hout Bay. It’s the perfect accommodation for families or a larger group of friends. The walkable distance to restaurants and stores was bery convenient and the beach is basically right in front of the apartment. Also both of them were super reactive to any questions we had, very much appreciated. Would love to come back!

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.

Bungalow 21 - On Clifton 3rd by Steadfast Africa
A hidden gem! Amazing views out to the ocean and easy access to the beach. We loved our stay and will book again. Not an issue for us but there are lots of steps from the road down to the property which might be trouble if you are less mobile.

Lakeview family-home in EcoSecurityEstate.Inverter
We really had a great time there. Especially for the children it was of course a paradise, there were a few toys, and the loft bed was great. In addition, of course, the garden, which can be seen from the kitchen. This place is especially recommended for families. In any case, you need a car, but basically you can do a lot in Noordhoek and the surrounding area without going too far. Nadine was always available, had great tips for us and we had a very nice stay
Rooftop Pool | Views | 24h power
Any amazing and very modern space. Very few AirBnB look just like the photos and this place surpassed theirs. The privacy of the bedrooms with such an open concept was great and the outdoor garden terrace and rooftop was perfect. Definitely will stay here again.

'Hoeked' on the view
The property is amazing with great views and a convenient and safe location. It had tons of space for our family of 6. Ryan and Julie are excellent hosts - very responsive, accomodating and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.

Tree Tops Beach House
this house was all we were hoping for - and then some more - for a quick family getaway weekend. breathtaking location, stunning home, sea view, modern yet comfortable, all amenities one could hope for, it felt like home away from home. johan was extremely communicative and helpful throughout.

"The Palm" Unique Beach Retreat
This house is a magical place. The views are spectacular. The owner is amazing and responsive. His property manager was available and understanding. The house itself is in pristine condition, caters to your every need. The bathrooms, linen and crockery was exceptionally clean. Overall, just a wonderful experience. Highly recommended.

A magical home on the Cape Town Waterfront Canals
Incredible, spacious apartment in a convenient location. Lauren personally ensured that we had a great vacation.

Sea Point Beach Front Gorgeous Apartment
Fantastic views. Comfortable bedrooms and great ablutions. Close to many restaurants and for sports mad world class promenade to run awesome swimming pool to train and great cycling routes. Happy space for the fat triathletes and people who love sea sunsets

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo
I couldn’t have asked for a better location, it was conveniently close to safe walking areas, shops, a beautiful park & restaurants yet was in a relatively quiet road. The apartment is beautifully appointed with absolutely everything you need, especially in the kitchen. It’s light & airy with stunning views. You feel secure & totally at ease there. Very obliging staff, in all, everything to recommend it.

(3) Beachfront views of Table Mountain
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful apartment! The Milnerton ocation was perfect – just across from the beach and with a stunning swimming pool that overlooks Table Mountain. It was the ideal mix of relaxation and breathtaking views. I travelled with my parents, husband, and our 1-year-old daughter, and the space was comfortable and family-friendly. The host went the extra mile by providing a crib, which made things so much easier for us. The apartment was clean, stylish, and well-equipped with everything we needed. We loved taking walks along the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean. Highly recommended for families or anyone looking to unwind in a scenic, peaceful spot close to the heart of Cape Town.

Waterfront Living
Great location next to the CTICC , two minute to the show halls. The apartment is warm and comfortable. Great stay , will book again next year.

Wake up to the waves. Modern, spacious, ocean view
I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this stunning apartment in Cape Town, and I can confidently say it exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the stylish decor and the incredible views of the ocean — truly a postcard-perfect backdrop. The apartment was immaculately clean, spacious, and fully equipped with everything. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I slept soundly every night. Location-wise, it couldn’t have been better — just a short walk to shops, cafes, and the V&A Waterfront. I also felt very safe in the building, which had excellent security and friendly, helpful staff. The host was welcoming, communicative, and went out of their way to ensure my stay was enjoyable.
