    Excellent location - easy to walk to Waterfront, city centre etc. Good facilities including possibility of self catering. Excellent breakfast. Friendly staff. Clean, tidy. Comfortable. Nice neighbourhood. Shops close by.

    We had basement room. Gate at bottom of steps was a bit noisy every time someone entered or left. Twin beds were quite narrow.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed our central location, friendly team, and the comfort and cleanliness of your stay. It's great to know that the breakfast and self-catering facilities added to your experience. We appreciate your feedback regarding the gate and the twin beds – we’re always looking for ways to improve, and your comments help us do just that. We hope to welcome you back again soon — perhaps in one of our upper-level rooms for an even quieter stay.

    Breakfast was at the local cafe which you walk to in the most gorgeous quaint Neighborhood. The big bonus is they have parking behind a locked gate.

    Guests need to know that the rooms are tiny but completely manageable there are drawers in the base of the bed.

    Property response:

    Thank you so much for your lovely feedback — we're so glad you enjoyed the charm of De Waterkant and found the location and parking convenient! You're absolutely right, some of our rooms are on the smaller side, but we’re happy to hear it was still comfortable and manageable for your stay. Next time, feel free to book one of our larger rooms for a bit of extra space — we’d love to welcome you back!

    We loved the location and the breakfast at the nearby cafe. We also enjoyed the exceptional views from the roof top. A special thanks to the staff for accepting a mail order delivery before we arrived and placing it in our room. This was very much appreciated.

    Despite confirming the departure times 4(!) times with 2 different staff members, our transfer to the airport arrived 30min early so we had to leave in a rush. There was also a misunderstanding with the arrival transfer despite confirming details beforehand. This area needs improving. A few more hooks or shelves to put clothes on would also be helpful.

    Property response:

    Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful feedback. We're delighted to hear that you loved the location, enjoyed breakfast at The Charles Restaurant, and made the most of the rooftop views. We're especially glad the team could assist with your delivery—your appreciation means a lot to us. We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the transfers. We’ve looked into it and can confirm that the transfer was booked via Booking.com, and unfortunately, this service is beyond our direct control. We recommend reaching out to the Booking.com support team regarding this matter, as they will be able to investigate and assist further. We also appreciate your suggestions about additional hooks or shelves—we're always looking for ways to improve and will certainly take this into consideration. Thank you once again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future under smoother circumstances.

    We absolutely loved our stay at Cape Finest GH and could not have wished for a better welcome in South Africa but here. The communication before we arrived was easy and friendly and we were welcomed with open arms and big smiles. I think usually breakfast is served in the property but maybe due to low season, we had our breakfast in the nearby The Charles which was a delight as well. The room we had was specious, modern and with a tasteful interior. The bathroom was big enough for two with a comfortable shower. The beds were like sleeping on clouds - so comfy! The entrance and common sitting room were beautifully decorated such as the roof terrace with beautiful view and even a small pool. Thank you team! Our next visit to Cape Town, we will definitely stay here again!

    Groubd Floor room misses views, but on the sky terrace the table Mountain is visible.

    I really liked how the guesthouse felt homely, from the comfy communal area to the nice rooftop, and the room, albeit not super big, was very well designed. The guesthouse is in a beautiful and quiet street, but also walking distance from several good restaurants Last but not least, Sam our host was super friendly, authentic and helpful. Would go again without any hesitation

    Just one suggestion, softer/more intimate bedside light would be nice. But I'm being picky
