Here's what previous guests have said about their stay with us
"It was a lovely townhouse, with beautiful views and fabulous location. So very comfortable. Everything was tip-top and the check-in and checkout process was super smooth."
"Fantastic place when visiting Cape Town. Easy Uber to V&A or Central Business District. The rooftop hot tub is a great perk!"
"Excellent location, lovely restaurants and shops near by and an easy walk to the V&A waterfront during the day time. Ask for directions."
"Fabulous apartment Great outdoor areas with fantastic views of Table Mountain. Very convenient location. I was here for the marathon and was able to walk to the start. Lovely place for breakfast around the corner. Very comfortable beds. I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Cape Town."
"Great location, what you see if what you get, and very secure"
"James was very attentive, and whatever we needed, he immediately responded. Also, Okuhle went out of his way on a Saturday when the reception was closed, so he could check us out. And then he let us keep our bags in the reception while we got some food and waited for us until we came back. Hospitality and service from both of them exceeded my expectations. :)"
"Lovely, clean, spacious, modern property in a lovely location that felt safe."

"Check in was seamless, and we were given a very thorough tour of the house by the letting agent."
"The property was located in a secure but interesting and vibrant area. It was very spaceous and modern and clean with all the facilities we could think of. The house is additionally secured with an alarm system and a guard in front at all times. The staff was available to us always as well for all questions and help we needed. Would definitely stay there again!!"
"Thank you once again for our wonderful stay in Cape Town! Everything was absolutely perfect."
"This is a well-hosted space with the office right next door for a near-hotel style experience but with the comfort of home. The apartment itself is beautiful, and we could not be happier with the location, which felt safe and peaceful while still being very central. "

"We are having a wonderful time here."
"The pictures doesn’t do justice, lovely apartment with stunning views and of course a hot jacuzzi to relax which is private for you only. There is also a braai area on the rooftop right next to the jacuzzi which was perfect. The location is perfect, scenic views of Table Mountain and surroundings. The apartment was sparkling clean, was absolutely amazed by how beautiful it is inside. I almost forgot about the rooftop area, best sleep ever! The hosts were extremely kind and was very communicative which made check in very easy and quick. Will definitely be back"

"Lovely house in a safe location. It was perfect for arriving in Cape Town and South Africa and settling in. Great views from the terraces."
"High-quality apartment with premium finishes and a perfect central location. The interior is stunning and matches the photos perfectly. We appreciated the safe neighborhood and the professional security firms operating in the area. The rooftop amenities (pool and hot tub) are excellent. Located close to wonderful dining spots. The standout feature is definitely the panoramic view of the city and Table Mountain. Highly recommended for a stylish stay in Cape Town."
"We have been staying at different properties with this company for the past few years and have been happy with the houses. We love the location, with many restaurants and cafes close by, a much more local feel than the waterfront but still walking distance if you really want to go there. The house was in excellent condition and has nice, good quality furniture. It has two bedrooms, a sitting area, sizable kitchen and a lovely outdoor patio under a big tree."
"Hi Richard, the place is super nice!"
"The location is perfect, you can do anything by walking They gave us a permit to park the car in the streets, which is very convenient New apartment, with everything you need, and clean Comfy bed"
"What a tremendous place - amazing location, walkable to restaurants, bars, supermarket. A very trendy part of town, quite hip, but also a place that feels very safe and is very quiet at night. The property is very well done, clean, smart, high end, and great value for money. The perfect pied-a-terre."
"Very stylish, great service & impeccably maintained accommodation "
"We really liked the location, the amenities and the comfort of the apartment. We would definitely book there again"
"Location: beautiful spot in the middle of Cape Town, quiet colorful neighborhood. - The spacious layout of the apartment. - communication with the reception in advance (incl. airport transfer)."
"Spotlessly clean, very comfortable bed, excellent facilities. Lovely neighbourhood."
"Great stay at Richard's stunning property located centrally in De Waterkant. The property is extremely spacious and we especially loved the 3 terraces facing the sun, the mountains and city views. The surrounding areas feel extremely safe, with lots of things to do, great food options and plenty of sights to see closeby. The host provided lots of helpful tips and tricks. Overall would highly recommend it!"
"My daughter and I had a lovely time at De Waterkant Cottages. See you next time. "

"Beautiful! Lovely city garden with swimming pool and covered terrace, and 2 additional terraces higher up with views of Table Mountain and the sunset. Even a beautiful owl as a 'temporary' garden resident. Within walking distance to W&A end City Centre. Staff super friendly and helpful. Cozy pubs and restaurants within a few minutes' walk."

"Thank you for another enjoyable stay with de Waterkant Cottages"
"Property was in the heart of the gorgeous De Waterkant locale. Lovely vibe around the area, easy to walk to waterfront, commercial district and stadium. We could sit on the front patio and watch the world go by, kitchen was very well stocked in terms of crockery and cutlery, glass, pots and pans. The Spar was close by and restaurants and bars within minutes (and some within seconds - albeit key to note, although two were basically next door/across the road there was little noise outside of that lovely vibe of mumurings of content from patrons enjoying summer evenings). Property in great condition, nice little splash pool. Photos on De Waterkant Cottages website are a very accurate portrayal of the property, we did not want to leave. Engagement throughout the process from James and Okhule was very good, with Okuhle meeting me bang on time at the property to hand over the keys. Look forward to staying in a De Waterkant Cottage on my next trip."
"Thank you for the excellent stay. 139 Waterkant is beautiful."
"We spent 10 days in Richard's beautiful house. Highly recommended the property. Great facilities, furnished with attention to detail and everything you need was available. We highly recommend this place. We were very satisfied and will definitely come back. 5 stars ⭐️ for this great house."
"We had a great stay and I look forward to seeing you later in the year."
"The location in one of my favorite areas of Cape Town, the rooftop and its incredible view, the spacious and well-equipped rooms, the comfortable beds, the possibility of parking on the street in front."
"A fine apartment with excellent facilities and comfort. Spotlessly clean, wonderful beds. Safe yet easy access to the apartment. The view of the Waterkant district (even a small glimpse of the harbor) was cool. Friendly, attentive service on site. Excellent shopping facilities in the immediate vicinity."
"A beautiful house in a great location. Comfortable and very clean. Would certainly stay there again."
"What a lovely house! And beautiful location. We have enjoyed it."
"Wonderful apartment, spacious, beautiful, good equipment. There is everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Great location. There are many restaurants nearby, a Spar store is 3 minutes away. 15 minutes walk to the V&A Waterfront. The streets are patrolled 24/7, so we felt completely safe. They also provided a parking permit for the car."
"James, Okuhle, and Richard were all extremely responsive whenever we had any questions. The apartment was cleaned routinely. The location was great, I felt safe and there were convenient options nearby for groceries and coffee."
"Great location with plenty stores close by. This property had a rear patio that got sun morning and afternoon. Very spacious inside and well equipped."
"Check-in. Excellent location near to restaurants and food store. Lovely shaded patio."
"The location was great, the accommodation was well furnished and very nice. There are shops, restaurants and bars in the immediate vicinity, but it is still quiet."
