“Highly recommended”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 December 2012

We were a group of 9 motorcyclists touring South Africa in early November 2012, and started off our first three nights at No. 40 & No. 42 Napier Street. We were able to take advantage of the connecting door between the two cottages to open it up as one property. The location of the cottages was just perfect, with views... More

Stayed at 115 Loader Street. Spacious 2 bed 2 bath with terrace at the front and a shared pool at the back. The house is in the middle of the picturesque old town (De Waterkant). The neighbour hood is safe and central. We could walk around and enjoy the restaurants, bars and shops at all times of the day. The... More

“4 Bayview Terrace - We will be Back”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2012

We (two couples) stayed at 4 Bayview Terrace for 6 nights in September. Wow what a great find. The house was very well presented and clean and had three bedrooms, a pool and a couple of fabulous decks with views to table mountain and the waterfront. The deciding factor on choosing this particular property in De Waterkant was the garage.... More

“Another Wonderful Find!”

Found De Waterkant Cottages on Trip Advisor - stayed at 40 Napier Street for 5 nights.

“average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

We stayed here for some nights and were a bit disappointed. The rooms and bathroom were spacious but almost no decoration. The location is good and central, not far from the waterfront, but the area self is not so touristic with a nice atmosphere.

Thank you for your feedback which we always appreciate. Unlike a hotel room each property is completely different having its own unique character. Some places are traditional with more interior decoration whilst others have a minimalist design and feel. We know everyone does have different tastes and we do hope, if you do choose to stay with us again, you... More

“21 Jarvis Street was highlight of our holiday!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2012

We recently stayed in De Waterkant for several days at the end of our trip to South Africa. The area is like a little village in the middle of a busy city, with cobbled streets, historical houses and original boutique shops & restaurants. It felt very genuine and not at all touristy, like the Waterfront and Camps Bay, both of... More
