Rustenberg Gardens
I can’t recommend this AirBnB enough. The apartment itself was stylish, clean, and just perfect for our 5 week stay. It is well located within Cape Town, and ideal for anyone working/touristing both in Cape Town or in the surroundings. SJ was also the perfect host. Friendly, responsive, and flexible to our needs. She was a large part of what made our stay so special. Book this AirBnB for your trip! We will certainly return next time we come back to Cape Town.

Balnamoon 2. A safe & comfortable home from home
Alleyne is a fantastic host. Friendly, responsible and flexible. I would happily stay again.

Unique and cozy Woodstock apartment
We absolutely loved the place. Having lived in the area before we felt right at home. The interior decoration was creative, the kitchen was great to cook in, the outdoor area was fantastic and the washing machine was clutch. We would definitely stay here again, the location was great, walking distance to old buiscuit mill for thier weekend market and alot of our friedns stay in the neighborhood as well. The host was creative and kind and very helpful when checking with a flexible time for self check out. The bed was comfortable and there was a great closet space. Would highly recommend and would stay here again.

Charming Apartment with Rooftop Deck
Moya has created a wonderfully warm and inviting space that speaks exactly to who she is. It really is a "rare gem" in the Airbnb world, with a beautiful balcony area with an incredible, close up view of the southern suburbs Table Mountain. The facilities lack for nothing, with amazing attention to detail. I loved my time at Moya's Arundel Lodge and 100% recommend a stay there.

The Soulty Nook: 2 bed in the heart of Cape Town
This spot was awesome!! Such a cute apartment. It’s in a corner so has great views of Obs and surrounding areas. Kim was a super host. Safe parking. Great walkability to delicious restaurants and cafes. Highly recommend!!

Studio in trendy Woodstock
This stay was one of the most incredible experiences ever!! From even before we checked in, our host was kind, communicating well, and accommodating. The check-in was painless and easy! Craig was there to receive us, see us off, help with anything we needed at a moments notice, overall he is an absolute pleasure to interact with. The pictures do NOT do this accommodation any justice. It is beautiful, clean, well furnished, and has all the amenities you could think to need! The fridge and pantry were stocked with all kinds of goodies and snacks. We had some of the best tasting tea and coffee there too, the rusks were phenomenal! I would go back again and again, and recommend this Airbnb to anyone who would listen.

Sun-kissed apartment with harbor & mountain views
I loved every moment at this place. It was clean and beautifully arranged. The views were amazing, and it was centrally enough located for us. And we had an amazing time. I loved this place. Will definitely recommend it to others as well. Easy to go around with Uber. Have shops around in walking distance. Andrew was a great co-host. Always ready to assist with all we needed.

A Comfortable Hideout for Extended Stays
Stefan’s appartement is conveniently situated, near restaurants, a shopping mall, the freeway, and the university. It has breathtaking views and is comfortable. Stefan is a great host who goes the extra mile in making your stay comfortable.

1 Bed, Rooftop Apt in Cape Town City Centre
Amelio was a very responsive host. He was quick to answer any questions and offer help when needed. The wine was a lovely touch. The endless views were amazing. Would happily stay again.

Vredehoek Bliss: City Oasis
We had the greatest time ever during our stay in Cape Town, and this home really made it a top tier experience. The host are amazing, such a great couple and very friendly and welcoming. They gave us some great recommendations on places to eat. Plus any questions we had they had no issues answering and responding swiftly. I really love that you get the whole place, and trust me when I say the picture look great, but the actual place is 100000x better! The hot tub was amazing, the lights and colors during night with the views and trust me coffee on the rooftop in the mornings was a true experience in its self. Was nice having The Bootlegger cafe so close! This will be our go to spot whenever we visit Capetown again! ❤

Flamingo on Hope
Very lovely place and looks as good in real life as it does in the pictures. Simba was awesome, always willing to assist and readily available to assist with anything I might've needed. 10/10 would book again.

Iconic sea and mountain views near the city
Just spent 2 months working and living here in cape town. Absolutely stunning airbnb, just like the pictures. So clean, well kept, amazing location, stunning views (worth the stay alone). beds were incredibly comfortable, Clara the cleaner was incredible, came every week, left the place spotless, new bed sheets. Host were amazing too, there for anything we needed and super responsive. couldnt recommend staying here enough, literally no downside. 6 stars :)

Sunset beachside penthouse
Great stay! The place matched the description perfectly and included all the listed amenities. Everything was spotless and clean. The house is functional and well-equipped—just takes a moment to get used to how everything works, but the hosts were fantastic and explained everything clearly. Would definitely recommend!

Idyllic V&A Waterfront Apartment
This apartment was beautiful! We loved our stay and already discussed coming back before we even checked out. The location was perfect, on the V&A but also had privacy whilst in the room. Mona was great with showing us around and being there at check out too. There’s a booklet with suggestions for restaurants/things to do in each area of Cape Town which was really helpful. Highly recommend!

Executive Oasis (Marine Tank) - City Apartment
Our stay at Imraan’s was nothing short of great. Well worth it.

Clifton Views: The Ideal

Apartment rentals with a hot tub

Exceptional Condo with Jacuzzi
Great place to stay when visiting Cape Town. Beautifully decorated with stylish finishes and all the luxury needed. The hosts were a pleasure to deal with and it was easy to find and gain access.

SPOIL YOURSELF IN STYLE and COMFORT
We got really lucky staying at Paul’s place! The location is unbeatable — right in the heart of Sea Point, with incredible views and easy access to the promenade. The apartment is super spacious, filled with natural light, a cute balcony, and a cozy living room. The kitchen is perfect if you enjoy cooking at home. Paul was super helpful and responsive with anything we needed. Overall, a cozy, comfortable stay and great value for the price.

6onClifton-Spacious 2 bed apt with private pool
Jane is wonderful and so was the accommodation! Unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to enjoy the swimming pool. Great location and to watch the ocean in the morning over a cup of coffee, a treat. Cannot recommend Jane and the accompanying highly enough. Thank you Jane for helping us enjoy our last couple of days in SA.

View, beach, comfy accommodation = Perfection
Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

PENTHOUSE IN CAMPS BAY WITH FANTASTIC VIEW
Johannes is a wonderful host, he greeted us and walked through the apartment with us. He made us feel at home. The apartment is stunning with a beautiful view that you don’t want to leave. We look forward to staying again.

Charming, Central & Colourful 2BED + Hot Tub
Great location. Friendly hosts. Perfect location. Could not have asked for more. Would highly recommend whether coming for business or leisure.

Scandinavian Design Luxury Living
I’ve stayed in many places across Cape Town, none are better than this. Everything is carefully designed for the best possible quality of living. The city view is second-to-none. A fully open kitchen, dining, and living space makes for never-ending special moments. I’ve never experienced peace and quiet like this in the city, with the gardens centre and coffee shops just a few minutes away. If you’re looking for a well-thought out luxury stay, look no further.
