Best Cape Town location, good housekeeping, beautiful character cottages with tasteful decor. Stayed in 25Jarvis. Spacious, bright and close to everything. Only downfall- across from gay sauna so it's noisy at night. Also, there's no furniture on the roof deck. Great kitchen and modern bathrooms, good linen and comfy beds. This was our 5stay with Village and Life. Best value. More

As always a very friendly and helpful welcome to the De Waterkant House, small but extremely pleasant, very clean, very comfortable and with a lot of charm. Nothing like the Formula One mentioned by Caroline C in 'recent reviews' [I have unfortunately used F1 only once and would not consider using the De Waterkant if there were any comparison] but...

This property is advertised as "superior". I would describe it as basic, sterile and charmless. Something along the lines of the Formula one hotel chain, basic, functional, no character and certainly no luxury. The furniture is cheap and tired.

We spent three weeks in this 3 bedroom town house located in the beautiful De Waterkant neighbourhood in Cape Town. It was the best, most cost effective holiday accommodation we have had the pleasure to find in the city! I recommend it to one and all :-) More

The area of the hotel is great. The Cape Quarter has lots of lovely restaurants that you can walk to. If you can choose which accommodation type you stay in the De Waterkant Village then go for the Charles as its modern, spacious and if you get a room high up the views are stunning. More
