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!

Stylish 2 BDR Apartment with Stunning Views!
Enjoyed my stay with my family

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!

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.

Trendy Apartment w/ Amazing Ocean Views & Bicycle!
What an amazing place!! Will definitely be staying there again. No problems at all, the apartment was beautiful and was located right on the promenade with so much to do around us. Cannot give this AirBnB enough compliments.

modern cottage with beach views
My partner and I stayed here for a few days whilst working remotely. The surrounding area was great for a pre-work walk and coffee, and there was plenty of restaurants and bars for post-work. The house was lovely, very clean and with good facilities. I would definitely stay here again.

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 Penthouse with Ocean View, A/C and Inverter
Man… what a place!!! My daughter loved the views, pool and everything in between. I loved the fact that Frida was so understanding for our late flight and she even has cars as an option along with the booking, something I needed as I love sightseeing and uber is just not enough. If you’re looking for a home away from home do consider this penthouse. I’m definitely coming back! Thank you Frida.

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!

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.

Stunning Simons Town Ocean View Cottage w Inverter
I really enjoyed my stay in Cape Town! The house is lovely, cozy and so welcoming. The surrounding view is stunning from the deck and I really got my steps in walking around and down the Capstan Steps. My hosts, Joel and Anchenn are incredibly kind and went out of their way to show me around Simons Town and Cape Town proper. They made this the perfect break and I can’t wait to be back! 🤍✨

Lakeview family-home in EcoSecurityEstate.Inverter
Wir hatten wirklich eine super Zeit dort. Vor allem für die Kinder wars natürlich ein Paradies, es gab ein paar Spielsachen, und das Hochbett war toll. Außerdem natürlich der Garten, der von der Küche aus einsehbar ist. Insbesondere für Familien ist diese Unterkunft wirklich zu empfehlen. Auf jeden Fall braucht man ein Auto, aber grundsätzlich kann man in Noordhoek und Umgebung wirklich viel unternehmen, ohne weit fahren zu müssen. Nadine war immer erreichbar, hatte super Tipps für uns und wir hatten einen sehr sehr schönen Aufenthalt

Beach House | 1 minute from the beach | Cape Town
Louis's cottage was immaculate and exactly what we needed for the weekend. He's done some lovely alterations to the cottage and it's filled with personal photographs of the beautiful Cape. He communicated well with us, and we knew exactly what to expect. The beds were comfy and the place spotless. I especially loved having a washing machine and tumble dryer available - THANK YOU! Walking to the beach with my morning coffee was such a treat. We'll ba back! :-)
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.

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
Wir waren 3,5 Wochen über Weihnachten und Neujahr mit unseren erwachsenen Töchtern im Haus von Lars. Alles war wie beschrieben. Erst funktionierte das WLAN nicht, es wurde aber sofort mit einem mobilen Router Abhilfe geschaffen. Wenn man etwas sucht, was bemängelt werden kann, ist das der doch recht kleine Pool. Alles andere war wirklich TOP! Zusätzlich war für uns die ganze Zeit (Di-Mi-Sa) eine Haushälterin, Avis, zuständig. Sie ist ein ausgesprochener Schatz und liest einem jeden Wunsch von den Augen ab. In Summe: Super gut, wir kommen wieder Jette, Lill, Babette & Jens

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.

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
Beautiful house,Lesley was responsive...so much to do in Capetown.We enjoyed our stay..The bed was comfortable.

Luxury secure V&A Marina apartment; best location!
There aren't enough words of appreciation for Liz and her team for taking care of me and my mother during our stay. The home was welcoming, looked like the pictures, clean, and it had all we needed. The location was perfect. You have all the restaurants and shopping within walking distance because we were on the harbor. I forgot some clothing in the closet when we checked out, and the cleaning staff were so honest and let Liz know. Liz made arrangements to make sure I received my belongings. This shows the kindness and integrity of her and the staff. I would highly recommend staying here!
