Villas and Apartments
De Waterkant Cottages offers 1 to 4-bedroom villas, each with a fully equipped kitchen, outdoor area, and living room with satellite TV. Some properties include a rooftop terrace with panoramic views, a plunge pool, or a hot tub. Bedrooms come with private bathrooms and comfortable beds.
Dining Options
The villas are self-catering with fully stocked kitchens. A Spar grocery store is one block away. Restaurants and bars like Tony's Pizza and The Coffee Bean are within minutes walking distance. The guest file includes local restaurant suggestions.
Leisure and Entertainment
Each villa has an outdoor area with BBQ facilities and terrace. Some units feature a plung pool, hot tub, or rooftop terrace with views of Table Mountain. High-speed Wi-Fi is included. TVs have satellite channels.
Location and Transport
De Waterkant Cottages are in De Waterkant Village, Cape Town, within 25 minutes walking distance of the city center. Ubers to the V&A Waterfront are cheap and quick. Street parking is available with a permit, but hills and cobbled roads make walking with luggage tough. The Cape Quarter parkade offers paid parking.
Services and Staff
Guests get private check-in/check-out, with staff like James and Okhule meeting you at the property. Airport shuttle and transport for wine tours can be arranged. The team is responsive and communicative. Security is vigilant, with private patrols and quick response to alarms.
“Stepping into these cottages reveals a spacious, immaculately kept interior, a welcome contrast to the vibrant De Waterkant streets just outside. I found the area wonderfully walkable, with a pleasant buzz from nearby cafes and eateries, and the convenience of secure parking felt like a thoughtful touch. The rooftop views, particularly at sunset, offered a breathtaking panorama that truly captured the city's essence, making for an exceptionally comfortable and well-situated stay.”
James DavidEditor-in-Chief at Zawesterncape
