3 bedroom Oasis in Table View - Inverter!
Oasis on Table View was a beautiful house to stay at it really felt like home away from home, Margot and Veronica were amazing hosts, very helpful and accommodating, Margot gave us clear instructions on the house and how to manage the house as well as making our stay comfortable. Veronica showed us around the beautiful house. Both hosts were friendly and welcoming. The house was kept really clean and organized, it was really spacious and welcoming, the location was perfect and quiet, the house was well secured with alarm system and beam sensors , the pool and Braai area were well kept and neat we really enjoyed using the pool and relaxing in the back garden. There are several malls in the area about 10-20 min away. We will definitely book our stay in Cape Town the next time we visit. Thank You Margot and Veronica for hosting us.

Spacious Home - Mountain Views,Pool,Firepit & BBQ
Superb place with a genuine ‘home’ feel to it. Lots of communal space inside and out and a gorgeous garden to enjoy. Tracy is a super host - responsive and shared loads of advice what to do locally. Hout Bay is a 10 min drive.

MODERN, BRIGHT, STYLISH House with Private Pool
Loved Brianna and Bradley's place. Stunning architecture, fabulous lighting and beautiful views of the mountain from strategically placed windows. The photos don't do it justice. The pool is clean and a delicious treat and the lovely, well-kept garden is protected from the wind. We ran out of gas but Brianna was very responsive and delivered a refill quite promptly. The outside shower was definitely a boon. The unique Shell-shaped kitchen wall/enclosure made for an interesting "space within a space". The mezzanine creates a cosy tv room at the bottom and comfy WFH space on top. Wifi reception throughout the house was great. I absolutely recommend this gorgeous home and will definitely be back!

Ocean Vista Luxury Villa: 4-Bed | Pool & Views
I had an amazing experience at Lance’s place. The house lived up to the photos clean, stylish, and fully equipped with everything I needed. The location was perfect, with plenty to explore nearby. Lance was communicative, welcoming, and offered great local recommendations. I felt right at home! I recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

Cape Lights
There is the full score for this home! The rooms are bright and very tastefully furnished. Everything is super clean. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The garden with the mini pool is also very well maintained. We felt like at home there. The surroundings are safe. Cute little cafes and restaurants are very close. We can imagine coming back next year.
Rooftop Pool | Views | 24h power
We stayed in the place for 14 days, 2 couples. We very much enjoyed our time. The house matches the description, is beautifully designed and well maintained. The outside area is well-thought trough, provides sun-protection when sitting outside and offers amazing views over Cape Town and Table Mountain. The house offers 3 bedrooms distributed over 3 floors. A bit of a negative is that although you can close the doors, privacy can be an issue as it is not fully sound proof. Lightning could be better in the bathrooms, but design won over. The service was great, cleaning excellent and the pool was well maintained. The surroundings are great, plenty of coffee places for an easy breakfast, bars and supermarket nearby. Easy to go for a morning run to Green Point and Sea Point. We loved it and highly recommend the place. Thank you.

Beautiful House In Secure Estate
Our family had a wonderful stay at this charming home, enjoying the nearby beaches and great restaurants. The location is perfect— under an hour from the airport, Cape Town central and many must-visit attractions, it offers a peaceful retreat with easy access to many destinations when desired. Wayde was a fantastic host, always responsive and helpful. It was the perfect mix of relaxation, convenience, and great hospitality!

Cheerful 3 bedroom home with parking on premises
We booked this place for work for 1 week, but ended up stay 2 weeks. Russell was cery friendly and accommodating. We extended the stay twice with no issues. The place is clean, quite and ideal for a work or family stay. Plus he has backup water and electricity supply. We will definitely be staying there again.

Wessels House - Central Calm Oasis - garden & pool
The house is in a super convenient location and presents really well. An ensuite for each bedroom makes it the perfect executive stay or family holiday. Easily accommodated our party of four and we look forward to returning again soon. Thanks Chris for a great stay.

Cabernet Break Away
Everything worked as described. Rico was personally present at both check-in and check-out. House was electronically secured with an alarm system. Garden and pool very well maintained. We look forward to coming back soon.

Salty Breeze Boutique Escape: Garden Cottage &Pool
This was our first visit to South Africa and Birgit and Eugene made it extremely easy for us particularly during our first few days when we were pretty clueless. But not just that - they continued with welcome and helpful suggestions throughout our time here. The well equipped apartment itself is spotlessly clean set in a really nice garden with a swimming pool and sun loungers. It’s an easy ten minute walk to the seafront where there are a selection of good restaurants offering menus to suit everyone’s taste. The area itself feels very safe and we had no problem walking back at night in the dark. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending Birgit’s apartments.

5 bedroom House & Shared Pool
we were 8 family members coming from a road trip .tired and wanting an uncomplicated check in .. it was everything we wished for . plenty of room for us all . very nice bathrooms functional kitchen definitely recommend

Ocean Views
Highly recommend this house! Our group of 7 had a wonderful stay for 4 nights at this house. There was more than enough space to spread out, relax, and enjoy the amenities. After being on the road for a few weeks, this finally felt like a vacation. The outdoor spaces and pool were especially a bonus and beautiful. The house had parking for our car and was walkable to nearby neighborhood restaurants. We felt safe walking around. Hosts were communicative if we ever needed anything.

Doran Vineyards Manor House
Wow! What a place… We had a wonderful family get together at this stunning farmhouse. Everything was perfect! Natalie welcomed us with the warmest smile and we immediately felt at home in this beautiful house. The photos are great but in person even better. It’s the perfect mix of stunning interior & exterior, idyllic peaceful location yet homely feel. Loved every minute of our time there, just wish it was longer.

Chez Nthabi
Nthabi's place was everything we had hoped for but never knew we would be able to get - a quiet, peaceful, spacious, beautiful and well-provisioned family accommodation at a good price. Nthabi even welcomed us with a bottle of wine. wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return, as we plan to come visit our son at UCT from time to time. hope to stay there whenever we are in CT. Thanks for your amazing hospitality.

Modern House Set Within Beautiful Gardens
A Gem of Hospitality: Tim’s Haven Tim proved to be an exceptional host, flexible and friendly. The house is intimate with plenty of amenities for cooking, and has an amazing pool area. The highlight, however, was the captivating sculpture garden and the serene chilling area with an open fireplace. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Tim’s house for those in search of a truly intimate and quality stay.

A Touch of Country - Pets welcome
Lovely spacious house in a lovely area. Ann was super responsive and accommodating making us feel perfectly at home. The pool and braai made it great for relaxing in the afternoon and evening. Thanks for hosting us

Urban Style House with Jacuzzi & Garage
We had a wonderful stay in August (winter, 8 days with 2 teenagers). The property is exactly as described and has everything you might need. The neighborhood feels safe and has many excellent restaurants within walking distance. It's a 3 minute walk to the ocean, 10 minute drive to the V&A and downtown, so a great location to explore Cape Town and surrounding areas. Jenny is an excellent host, friendly and quick to respond. Definitely recommend.

Modern cottage in picturesque garden
Great little cottage on a beautiful property. Equipped with everything you’d need for a peaceful stay. Shops are a close drive away. Hosts are friendly and accessible on the property. Would recommend and visit again.
