Giel·5·Oct. 2020· "This is my second time at this venue, and remains my first choice when in Cape Town - location is perfect, love the quiet for a good night rest and even perfect for rainy day to watch a movie. The house is always perfectly clean and tidy and Renier is a great host. And for covid19, I had no doubt about cleanliness and safety."

Psquared, De Waterkant Metropolis building, Modern Charm
1 Bedroom • 1 Bed • 1 Bathroom
Bernd·5·Dec. 2025· "Our stay was simply fantastic from start to finish. Even the check-in was super well-organized: The host introduced us to his agent Hayley via ******** beforehand, and she reached out to us in advance to arrange a smooth check-in. When we arrived, she greeted us punctually at the reception, showed us the parking spot in the attached parking garage, and then took us up to the apartment.
The apartment itself, located on the 11th floor, was an absolute dream. It’s a beautiful two-story maisonette, stylishly furnished with lovely design and tasteful artwork on the walls. The highlight was definitely the two balconies with a breathtaking view of Table Mountain. Everything was spotlessly clean, the kitchen was fully equipped and brand new, so you could start cooking right away.
The location is perfect: a supermarket is just a five-minute walk away, and everything you need is within easy walking distance. Hayley was always available via ******** during our stay, giving us great tips on where to shop and even how to order pizza for our visit to Signal Hill.
The building is also secured 24/7, and the security staff were incredibly friendly, greeting us warmly every time we came in or out. Plus, all the queer-friendly spots are right around the corner, making the location absolutely ideal.
In short, we can highly recommend this place!"

Modern Private Room in Sea Point – Steps from the Promenade
LGBTQ+ venues nearby • Gym nearby
Cedric ·5·Apr. 2026· "It was a superb stay. Thinus and his friend are absolutely delightful, super welcoming and remarkably authentic. They love their city, Cape Town, you can see and feel it. They don't hesitate to share plenty of advice and even invite you to join them for a barbecue or a discovery excursion. You really feel the generosity and simplicity of South Africa. The apartment is great. Clean, warm and ideally located by the sea. It's also close to all amenities on foot (main street) or by uber.
I recommend it 1000% and wouldn't hesitate for my next stay."

Private Queen Room in Stylish Flat with Ocean Views & Shared Space
Gay District • LGBTQ+ venues nearby
Jon·5·Mar. 2026· "These are bold statements - ‘beautifully decorated’ & ‘stunning ocean views from every room’ ! And I can now confirm that they’re 100% true ! This really is a first class listing across the piece - location, contemporary style, comfort...all from a Host who appreciates what it is to be a traveller looking for a relaxed vibe and the warmest of welcomes. Just up from the Seapoint action with its super array of retail outlets, bars & restaurants, you look from one window and there, out in front of you is Robben Island. From another, it seems that you could reach out and touch the descending paragliders who’ve moments earlier, taken off from Signal Hill ; the imposing Lions Head is ‘just there’. Literally stunning ! And opening the bedroom window in the morning was notable for the immediacy of the salt air flowing in. The Park Lane building on High Level Road is a safe and secure site and the apartment sits behind its gates ; on-street parking is easy. Jeff purchased and renovated his home in recent years and the standard of finish is of the highest order. My room was super comfortable and the apartment generally flows extremely well and the kit out just works ! Jeff is a thoroughly likeable New Jersey guy. He’s successful and go-getting but alongside ambition & drive, there’s an authenticity and generosity at play. He cares. And in clicking, we had some greatly stimulating and insightful conversation over a tasty Thai dinner and a few glasses of ‘the best of Babylonstoren vineyard offerings’ ! A strong recommendation. "
