Comfortable, central and gorgeous roof terrace views of table mountain

Excellent location, lovely restaurants and shops near by and an easy walk to the V&A waterfront during the day time. Ask for directions.

The view on the upper terrace is second to none, and the cottage is spacious and service excellent

James was very attentive, and whatever we needed, he immediately responded. Also, Okuhle went out of his way on a Saturday when the office was closed, so he could check us out. And then he let us keep our bags in the office while we got some food and waited for us until we came back. Hospitality and service from both of them exceeded my expectations. :)

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!!

An excellent stay, in a comfortable, safe & relaxing environment, close to shops & restaurants

Check in was seamless, and we were given a very thorough tour of the house by the letting agent.

Great place to stay for a first time visitor in to Cape Town we really enjoyed coming back to our home from home.

Really well located for visiting the City in a lovely, safe neighbourhood. Great roof terrace.

The property is fine, but there was a theft of money.

This is a nice place to stay in a good location.

Great location, clean, beautifully decorated and well furnished house with lovely patio

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.

It could use aircondition instead of a fan, but other than that perfect!

Gorgeous stay in historic cottage

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.

We love Cape Town but would think twice about returning to De Waterkant Cottages, certainly not no 76.

Location and staff were both very good . In particular James was very helpful.

Good enough for a return visit later this year.

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.
