    Taxis seemed to find it difficult to locate the reception area for pick ups when we were checking in and when leaving on our trip. On other days you could use the barrier entrance near the Cape Grace Hotel end which worked better.

    Spacious well equipped apartment Great views from the balcony over the waterways. Very convenient location. Nice staff. Very safe security.

    The power backup system made a terrible noise during the hours of sleep. The unit of the bedroom should have a separation panel to avoid any noises from kitchen dinning area. It’s more like a studio apartment than a one bedroom apartment.

    The position to waterfront excellent

    General staff attitude was good but two (don't remember names) were not that helpful especially when looking for the way to the main entrance. They were not clear in their instruction/guidance. But we eventually found our way, and once we found the way to the main entrance it was easy. But it could have been better explained.

    Great location with easy access to the waterfront area in Cape Town. Although quite busy, the complex was quiet. Many tourist attractions nearby, or close to tourist office where trips could and were arranged. Would highly recommend to anyone wishing to travel around the Cape Town area.

    Each apartment is different so pot luck with finishing Our bathroom was quite tired but everything worked well Quite a long checkin process Oslo would only recommend for 3 nights or more.

    Great location especially if you have a car as very secure. Apartment was spacious decor a little tired but all facilities needed were there. Very quiet at night.

    Load shedding restrictions. Check in.

    Very smart apartments near waterfront which is prime spot in CT. Some provision made for the load shedding in the apartment but became very restrictive for us using appliances when needed, however I guess that's how it is in self catering accommodation at the moment in SA. Also slightly complicated instructions for check in which may be restrictive if coming by taxi. So for this reason we opted for their airport shuttle. Overall a great place to be.

    The location of the apartment was excellent for us, however I was disapointed with some aspects.

    The double bed mattress was uncomfortable and sagging in the middle, it felt like it had seen better days! Toilet in the ensuite dripped constantly and the shower in the second bedroom could not drain properly. We had requested that both get looked at. The shower was attended too on 3 ocassions and we were assured each time that it was fixed, but it was not, as a result we were left to use one shower. No one attended the toilet at all. We gave up asking after a while. There was no safe for our use in the room as the only safe,were were told, was the owners personal safe and was locked. The glass doors to the ensuite in both bedrooms left no privacy and this was a problem each time someone wanted to use the bathroom.

    The apartment was spacious and well furnished. Great outlook over the waterfront with spacious balcony to enjoy the view from. Security was excellent. Front office staff were friendly as were the security staff.

    It would have been better to have had a few more kitchen utensils (plates, cups, glasses etc.) There was a dishwasher which we didn't use, because there were only 2, 3 or 4 of each item.

    Superbly located, on the Waterfront canal. Very close to the lively V & A Waterfront amenities and only a short walk into the CBD. Lots of security made the place feel very safe. Apartment was spacious, well equipped (apart from kitchen utensils), good, safe parking, decent swimming pool and gym area.

    There were a few issues with our apartment and I didn’t have the opportunity to explain to the staff as when I checked out, she was on the telephone. One of the blinds at the window wouldn’t come down so there was no privacy, the door wouldn’t always lock at the first attempt, one of the shutters in the bedroom was not attached to its fitting and in the high winds, it was banging on the wall and the shower didn’t drain so the bathroom floor was flooded. Having said that, bed was comfortable, room was a nice temperature. I would also recommend that guests are given complimentary bottles of water. We had travelled nearly 20 hours and a bottle of water in the fridge is usually a given, especially when you have paid £200 per night.

    Superb location and felt very safe as security gates are prevalent and lots of security staff about. Very clean everywhere. Pools are very good and you couldn’t be closer to the V & A waterfront.

    The apartment we were staying in, Bannockburn 603, the patio furniture needs to be replaced. The loungers are old and torn up.

    The location, it is a good location as one can walk to the Alfred and Victoria wharf malls, to the city sight-seeing bus offices and the aquarium. It is a beautiful neighbourhood. The views from the apartment are amazing....
