This is a lovely and stylish accommodation in a good area with various restaurants and bars in walking distance. The staff are friendly and helpful, a very basic breakfast is provided, but guest have use of full kitchen facilities to prepare their own meals. I would stay at this or Cape's Finest other properties again.

We had a wonderful stay at De Waterkant House. The team made our time in Cape Town unforgettable with the best tips, a personal touch and lovely little breakfast (facilities are excellent). Our home away from home. Definitely recommended!

This is a small (5 rooms) guest house in a great neighborhood (The Waterkant). The house is beautiful with a small well-kept garden. Our room was in the basement (which sounds worse than what it actually was), but I think a room higher up would have been nicer. There is no reception at the house so the check-in procedure was a little more complicated than it should have been. We arrived in the evening and had been promised that a manager would be there to greet us, but that did not happen. So we had to call several times before somebody finally came to open up the house for us. Once we were in, we liked it a lot. The neighborhood is great, with plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and bars.
