I've just come back from a three night stay at 169 Waterkant St, one of De Waterkant Cottages' two apartments.
The two bedroom apartment was spacious, clean and beautifuly decorated. The master bedroom had a king size bed and attached open-plan bathroom, with bath, shower and separate toilet. Kitchen was fully equipped although not enough to tempt us away from the restaurants conveniently located around the corner. The off-street garage parking was also a benefit.
Having visited Cape Town once before and walked around De Waterkant we were keen to take advantage of the central location of the the cottages/ apartments - 10 minutes walk to V&A Waterfront and the city centre (not that you'd walk after dark). Last time we stayed in a B&B towards Table Mountain, which is a beautiful area but not so easy to get around by foot.
The only slightly sour note was at the end of our stay - having planned around the official checkout time of 11.00am the cleaners arrived at 10.40, sat in the kitchen and refused to come back later. We did receive an apology from reception, but it was a little bit of a hassle.
