Heerlijke, ruime locatie op een geweldige plek.

9.0

Zeer ruim huis, voorzien van alles wat je nodig hebt. Op een perfecte locatie: in een rustige buurt, maar op loopafstand van restaurants en een supermarkt om de hoek. Voor een paar euro heb je een Uber naar het V&A Waterfront, waar bijvoorbeeld de boot naar Robben Island vertrekt.

Prachtige plek als honk om Kaapstad te ontdekken en te relaxen

9.0

Supervriendelijk ontvangst door Henk en Guido en hondje George met duidelijke instructies fn een rondleiding door het prachtige huis. De accommodatie ligt centraal en je kunt lopend naar een aantal bezienswaardigheden, maar een Uber is ook net zo gemakkelijk en goedkoop.

Alleen het weer 😂. Een volgende keer hoop ik ook van het dakterras met uitzicht op de Tafelberg te kunnen genieten

Charmante Wohnung in super city Lage

10.0

Super Gastgeber und die Wohnung bzw das ganze Haus waren toll. Super Lage um die Stadt zu erkunden und alles Nötige in der Wohnung. Auch die Einrichtung war toll plus der kleine Pool auf dem Dach mit Aussicht

Beautiful self-contained house in the best area

10.0

A warm, comfortable gem of a place in the most beautiful, quaint, and central location. Completely self-contained, with a kitchen/dining area that opens onto a gorgeous little garden that has a staircase leading up to a roof patio. I also fully appreciated having a washing machine! As a base for exploring Cape Town, you can't beat this. Many great restaurants, a pharmacy, and a food store are all within 200m radius. It's a 10-20 minute walk to the Waterfront, to Bo-Kaap, to the centre of the CBD, or down to the Greenpoint promenade.
