"This was a lovely place with 3 large bedrooms, two bathrooms (no baths) and all the cooking facilities. There is room for individual privacy if required. From the two spacious roof areas you can see out to the waterfront and Table Mountain towered in the background. The city is an easy walk and there are plenty of restaurants in the lively and fashionable area. A cleaner visited daily and the office staff were helpful. A great base to explore Cape Town."
Brett & Jacquline, Sydney, Australia

"Exceptional accommodation. I can highly recommend this accommodation. The location is ideal, a modern, well appointed cottage in a area steeped in history. Narrow, cobblestone roads lead to this gem in central Cape Town. I can hardly imagine a more convenient location!"
Johann & Jennete, S.Africa

"We loved this house and the character of the whole area, with it's history and quaint little courtyards, timber-framed windows and iron work, cobbled streets etc. and amazing views!! We loved Cape Town, the people, the culture, the history. P.s. be sure to pack a spare pair of undies when attending the noon day gun!!!"
The Mallards & Vigolos, Australia

"I loved my week-long stay at De Waterkant cottages. The decor and general ambiance was exceptional, the staff super welcoming and helpful and the views breathtaking! The close proximity to Cape Quarter and easily accessible location was also a bonus. All in all, for a business traveler who is frequently couped up in cramped sometimes mediocre hotel rooms, this apartment was a lovely departure from the mundane. When business feels like a holiday because of where you are staying, then it's happy days! Everything was perfect!"

"Came down for honeymoon during August and never regret my decision on choosing my accommodation. We fully enjoyed our stay, the cottage is well equipped and doesn't lack anything. Location is excellent and so is the view! Getting around is not a problem and it was pretty easy finding our way around everywhere including using public transport. Bus stop is just a 2 minutes walk and Waterfront, Adderley street etc are just a walk away! 5 star rating for this place!"

"Wow. What a beautiful place - we couldn't have hoped for a better accommodation! The location was perfect, the service was great - we really felt like this was home! We'll definitely be back to this neighbourhood the next time we return. Should be just now! Go to San Julian's for Mexican - in walking distance - maybe the owner will serenade you or break out the wrestling masks."
Angelus, Alex & Susan, USA
(28-Jul-2014)
"Just wonderful. The overall impression of service is one of reserved professionalism, which is a common theme in many other South African establishments. Responsive and honest, but no-nonsense and not overly chummy, which was nice."

"Lynn - Thanks so much for everything! We had a wonderful stay in Cape Town and our cottage at 70 Loader was perfect for us and also for hosting our friends who visited from Johannesburg for the weekend. We really appreciate you taking care of changing the locks for us, after we lost our set of keys. Thanks again for everything! Our cottage (and the location) and you and your staff were outstanding. I'd highly recommend staying at De Waterkant for anyone who is visiting Cape Town."
Heidi & Ben, USA
(1-May-2014)
"We spent 5 nights at 110 Waterkant Cottage, it was awesome, from the first impression of the staff, they're very helpful, not complicated, up to the cottage, 3 stories cottage with stunning view of Table Mountain, well equipped, clean, very central location, easy access to almost every city attractions, walking distant to Cape Quarter, lovely surrounding, there's only one thing about parking, bit difficult to secure parking close to the cottage, but it's not a major, we can walk with nice view around.. in general we're very happy with the cottage, for sure we will comeback!!"
Christoph & Vidi, Zimbabwe

"5 star luxury whilst being home away from home! We stayed at 4 Bayview Terrace where one gets 360 degree views of the V&A Waterfront, the harbour, CBD, table mountain and Signal hill above you off their rooftop deck. From your bedrooms you can either look onto the harbour or table mountain! What a choice!!! The accommodation itself is very comfortable and clean. The beds and linen are awesome. Anywhere else you would be paying double for this sort of comfort and luxury. Lots of eateries around and the local Spar Supermarket has awesome fresh homestyle meals you can just pick up and take home."
