    The experience of being on a boat was very exciting. The boat is well decorated and equipped with all amenities required. the location is fantastic. We woke up to the sound of seagulls and often had the pleasure of seeing seals up close.

    The houseboat is a well serviced, wonderful tiny home in a safe and peaceful spot, a short walk from the vibe and bustle of the Waterfront. Definitely book yourself some time here. The experience is worth it. Make your stay a shorter one...

Welcome to Waterfront Houseboats. Situated at the Cape Grace Marina adjacent to the 5-star Cape Grace Hotel, at the very heart of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town, this unique experience offers you the opportunity of “living on the water” with frolicking seals, fish and bird life.
We do not have a staff member on site, in the event of an emergency or assistance needed you can contact the number that was in contact with you prior to check in.
Everything is easy and in safe walking distance to and from the V&A. If you would like to do more sight seeing, it is easier to make use of an Uber.
