"Such a beautiful place! Lovely accommodation. Great breakfast at the Village Café on the corner. Great picnics with kids at "Warwick Wine Estate" and "Buitenverwachting", Kloof Street House was great for dinner and "The Bungalow" too. Aquarium a must with kids. Hope to return with my family one day again to see the rest. Kids loved Boulders beach and Clifton beach, too much to mention, Merry Christmas! "

"If I had money, I would buy it! What a gem! We booked this cottage at the last minute while visiting Cape Town, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. The cottage itself (we stayed in the mustard colored one #42 Napier i think), and it was just gorgeous!! I constantly said that I wished I could own this house :) It is walking distance to town and all the stores you need. Stay here if you can."

"Way better than standard hotels in Cape Town. We have now stayed at 24 Loader Street twice and absolutely love it - this particular property in the portfolio is a 3 bed, 2 bath with plunge pool and Jacuzzi and spectacular views of Table Mountain and the harbour from the roof deck. The De Waterkant area is filled with cafe's, restaurants and bars in walking distance and the perfect place to unwind."
The Wanderlust, Phuket, Thailand
(20-Aug-2015)
"Fantastic location. Rooftop view of mountains and port. Fabulous little cafes nearby. Brilliantly helpful and friendly staff. It all felt like home - but perhaps a little bit better."
Richard, UK
(15-Aug-2015)
"Excellent location, beautifully appointed. So much space! (What I was going to do with a roof deck and a patio with a plunge pool is beyond me!) In the heart of De Waterkant village with excellent restaurants and cafes in walking distance, and everything else a cheap Uber away."
KW, South Africa
(13-Aug-2015)
"We stayed at 90 De Waterkant. We had everything you could possibly wish for."
Ann, South Africa
(11-Aug-2015)
"The cottage we stayed in was a moderate sized house - much bigger than your average holiday accommodation. It had everything you could want in your home - two beds, 2 bath, all the electronics and a fully fitted kitchen. It was actually so much like being at home, that we sometimes didn't realise we were on holiday. On top of this, there is a deck on the roof with amazing views over Cape Town and the harbour. There are plenty of good places to eat nearby, so self-catering isn't an issue - we didn't need to cook, but having a full kitchen was nice to have. We stayed out of season so the price was extremely reasonable - less than for a room in a hotel for a full house!"
Kevin, South Africa
(10-Aug-2015)
"I have arrived back safely to the United States.  I want to say that I had enjoyed staying at 75 Loader St. while I was in Cape Town for my conference. The apartment was very comfortable, and kept clean and tidy."
Lillian, Netherlands

"Very happy stay for the whole family. Parents and the two 9 year old boys enjoyed the house and the very convenient area, close to everything city and nature. Mum loved the housekeeping! The cable car was out of order but that gives us a good excuse to come back and enjoy! p.s. We love your winters here...a bit like our summers!"
