All the stairs. I suggest that you advice people, when they book that the unit has got a lot of stairs.

Location was good and we felt safe

Modern. And all the fancy technology

The payment process is handled outside of booking.com and requires a lot of details per guest, but otherwise relatively straight forward. Could have done with more rubbish bags/dishwasher tablets/washing machine powder as basic essentials for a 5 day stay

Communication was outstanding from the start and the place was as expected.

The cottage was very beautiful and spacious. Location felt very safe and was very conveniently located close to shops, restaurants and the waterfront. Communication with the hosts and airport pickup driver was very easy and seamless.

Great location ! Walking distance from shops and restaurants.

Maybe more coffee pods when you stay more than 1 night.

Easy check in, and they give you a permit to park which is a very good idea in this area The location is great with all coffee shops, bars and restaurants around the corner but inside the house it’s quiet. The house was spacious, cosy, well furnished, comfy beds and a huge bathroom.

We loved this accommodation in the Waterkant area of Cape Town. Lots of space, beautifully furnished rooms, everyone had their own bathroom. The small pool was much appreciated in the heat and the roof terrace was a wonderful place to chill out.

Staying in De Waterkant has always been a dream, with its beautifully colourful buildings and charming atmosphere. When an impromptu trip to Cape Town came up, we jumped at the chance to book 139 Waterkant Cottage – and it was absolutely worth it! The two-bedroom house was stunningly renovated, blending historic charm with modern comfort. The neighbourhood itself is incredibly safe and artsy, making evening strolls after work an absolute pleasure. I only wish this trip were longer – I could easily stay for a month or more! A special mention to James, who was responsive, engaged, and incredibly helpful throughout our stay. Given the ever-changing nature of our plans due to a family bereavement, his support made all the difference. If you're considering a stay in Cape Town, I can’t recommend 139 Waterkant Cottage highly enough – a truly wonderful experience!

The fact there was no washing machine

Everything is just great, superb location in the heart of it but actually in a stylish and peaceful area. The property is of high standard … we had a fabulous time

Nothing to dislike

Clean, quite close to V&A waterfront with lots of pubs, restaurants and hotels.

The unit has no AC which you need on brutally hot days like the several we experienced. Sleeping at night was extremely uncomfortable. There is a ceiling fan in the bedroom although the controls were malfunctioning; it would switch from low to high automatically and the high function was too strong to leave on while sleeping. Brought this to management’s attention with no resolution. Wouldn’t normally be a problem except on very hot days. Check-in times are very restricted — only around 3 hours in the afternoon. An additional fee is required after those hours unless you use their excessively priced airport transfer. Lastly, payment process is cumbersome and confusing. They do not accept payment from booking.com. Requires three separate transactions for hotel, refundable security fee and airport transfers. The staff is very kind and patient in explaining this. Thank you.

Very nice apartment. Spotlessly clean, perfect location, quiet and comfortable. Highly recommend but may be uncomfortable on hot summer months. Perfect for other times.

There wasn’t anything we didn’t like about the property.

We loved everything about this little house, it had everything you could want.

Stayed in January 2025

It was on a walk way open to all to walk but did have security patrolling

What a gorgeous location and villa!

Nothing to dislike!

Liked everything! Great location - there are bars, restaurants, shops and coffee shops within walking distance. We walked there and back as a group regularly and once, at one of the further ones away, got an Uber back very cheaply. Ubers to the Waterfront are cheap and very quick to arrive. Very safe. Comfy beds and sofas. Great showers. Plenty of room, nicely laid out, well stocked etc. Staff were exceptionally responsive. Property was very clean and cleaned regularly. Would def return.

Parking in the area is a nightmare, even with a permit.

Great location. Beautifully designed and furnished apartment. Our hostess was most helpful
