The Nest on Leisure

MorganRating, 5 stars6 days ago
10/10. Absolutely awesome location, wonderful units with lots of additional amenities and activities included (pool, bicycles, SUP boards, veggie garden, laundry, etc.), and an incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful team. We couldn’t recommend this more, and will be back as much as possible!

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb! From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The electric blankets and wall heater were a huge bonus, keeping us nice and toasty during our stay. The room itself was a perfect blend of charm and coziness. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks to the host for creating such a warm and welcoming space!

Luxury romantic apartment at the ocean 1h CapeTown

Luke KroneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was deep exhale from the rush of everyday life. We spent slow mornings listening to the ocean and quiet evenings watching the sun set over False Bay. It is a rare kind of place that leaves you softer, quieter, and more connected to yourself. Thank you Eva and Marina, you will see us soon again. ✨❤️

Thesen Island Luxury Penthouse

IngridRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It is our second time staying here and we most definitely come back again. Centrally located with the most beautiful views over the lagoon. Surrounded by restaurants and shops but apartment is private and quiet at night. Kitchen is well equipped with all necessary to cook any meal. Extras like purified water and cookies. Open plan lounge and dining area. Netflix and You Tube available. Lovely bedroom with lots of cupboards. Bathroom with shower and bath. We can recommend this accommodation if you love nature and also like to be centrally located.

BellaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a fantastic time staying at Andrew's place! The apartment was beautifully, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed. I did encounter a few issues on arrival but they were resolved swiftly and the communication throughout was perfect. Andrew and Lauren were very accommodating. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! Your apartment was spotless and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I really appreciated your quick responses. You clearly put a lot of thought into making your guests feel welcome, and it showed. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience. We can't wait to come back.

Idyllic V&A Waterfront Apartment

DanielleRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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!

The views of the lake was breathtaking, waking up to the peaceful environment was everything, beautiful place to unwind and reset. The hot tub with those views makes a perfect combo, spacious home with everything you need. Really enjoyed our stay.
