Reviews

  • "Relaxing & Quiet Getaway"

    11 June 2019

    "We love the Waterfront Guest House, it's definitely one of my favourite places to stay. It's an 1.30 mins from Cape Town. The house is really spacious, situated in the most perfect spot on the marina. The best part is sitting with a cup of tea on the couch watching the day pass while listening to the birds - the things you don't see/hear in Cape Town. It offers everything you need and want when looking at a quick getaway, it really is a home and not just a place to stay."

  • "Peace and quiet in luxury!"

    21 November 2016

    "A stunning house right on the water, with all the bells and whistles to ensure your comfort. We loved our weekend here and had great fun on our kayak. Rob the owner and Helena the manageress were extremely kind and helpful when we lost the key in the water and locked ourselves out of the house. Really kind neighbours too! That's Weskus hospitality for you."

    20 March 2016

    "We were an Oceanography postgrad student group doing fieldwork in the area and the accommodation was perfect for us. The house is large, well equipped and furnished and a jetty for our boat was invaluable. Wood for the braai was provided which was a nice touch. This is good value "high-end" accommodation and I can recommend it."

  • "Wrong House"

    06 January 2015

    "I booked House no. 35 for specific reasons like King size beds etc. and Safari confirmed No. 35.When arrived was given No. 33 a nice house, but not what I ordered. Had to settle for a double bed and second room with 2 single beds. Helena the estate agent had no problem that i was given a different house."

  • "Wonderful Stay"

    08 September 2014

    "We had a wonderful stay at the Waterfront Guest House over the weekend. The house is very well-situated on the water (the kids loved feeding the ducks!). The amenities in the house are perfect and very comfortable. We will definitely be back soon!"

    19 October 2010

    "We were 5 couples that spend 4 nights in a 5 Star luxury house with everything needed to have a great time. The house with the en-suite bathrooms makes it possible for friends with their families to stay together. Great view, facilities and a lot to do in the area. We will be back, next time at least for 7 Days."

  • "June weekend with friends in Port Owen"

    29 June 2010

    "We were 2 families who spent the weekend together - 4 adults, and 4 children between the ages of 5 & 9. The establishment truly catered for all our needs, and due to the size of the house, we never felt cramped. Every possible amenity that could enhance your stay was available - and working! We will definitely recommend it to our friends, and return for another fun-filled weekend."
