Waterfront Village definitely the place to stay.

The location of this accommodation is arguably the best you can find in Cape Town. It is very close to the V&A Waterfront and all its amenities. From here, wine farms, Cape Point, Signal Hill, and other nature reserves are within a 10-120 km radius. While the apartment we stayed in provided a comfortable stay, it was nothing more than a 3-star. It's worth noting that I have stayed in the Waterfront Village before, and this particular unit falls short in comparison. The interior, from the paint job to the quality of the bathroom and kitchen cupboards, appears worn out. Furthermore, the absence of a 'smart' TV, a feature I consider essential in any paid accommodation, was noticeable. The room service was great, and the accommodation had a washing machine, dryer, iron, and microwave, albeit a bit dated.

Uitstekende ligging, akkommodasie kort bietjie versorging/opgradering.

Die intekenproses was baie tydrowend. Daar is van my ook verwag met aankoms om nog geld te betaal, nadat ek reeds die volle bedrag betaal het met bespreking. Die ligging was uitstekend, maar die eenheid self het bietjie werk nodig. Die stort in die 2de badkamer se stortkop was stukkend en kon nie gebruik word nie. Die kussings op die stoepmeubels is vol gate. WiFi is ingesluit, maar het 23:00 die aand ophou werk en het nooit weer die volgende dag aangegaan nie. Die hysbak het 'n baie onaangename reuk ingehad. Die slaapkamers en beddens was wel van 'n goeie gehalte.

Excellent location, accommodation needs some maintenance/upgrading.

The sign up process was very time consuming. I was also expected on arrival to pay more money, after I had already paid the full amount on booking. The location was excellent, but the unit itself needs some work. The shower in the 2nd bathroom's shower head was broken and could not be used. The cushions on the patio furniture are full of holes. WiFi was included but stopped working at 11pm that night and never came back on the next day. The elevator had a very unpleasant smell. The bedrooms and beds were of good quality.

As Covid19 jou beperk om oorsee te reis is hierdie plek jou plekkie oor die water in jou eie land.

Woorde kan nie die ervaring beskryf nie. Dit is 'n stukkie hemel op aarde. Jou gees en liggaam voel verkwik na jou verblyf in hierdie stukkie goud in 'n besige lewe waarin ons lewe. Moenie nog twyfel om hier te bly nie. Dit is oor en oor die moeite werd.

If Covid19 restricts you from traveling abroad, this place is your place across the water in your own country.

Words cannot describe the experience. It is a piece of heaven on earth. Your mind and body feel refreshed after your stay in this piece of gold in a busy life we live. Do not hesitate to stay here. It's worth it over and over again.

Juliette 507 was absolutely amazing. We had an incredible evening and the afternoon was spent @Maresol for an early brunch. The location is perfect if you want to spend time at the Waterfront. The bird life is flamboyant and you wake up to their chatter. The food market is also amazing so do pop in there. We had a lovely stay.

Ons het gegaan om te ontspan en dit is wat gebeur het.

Die eenheid was baie skoon en stil. Daar was baie om te doen so naby die waterfront. Alles wat jy nodig het om 'n 3 jarige mee besig te hou. Sal beslis weer gaan.

Pragtig en uniek.

Waterfront Village is 'n pragtige eiendom met 'n fantastiese uitsig oor die stad, waterfront en sy kanale. Gerieflik geleë naby alle attraksies en strande. Ek sal dit beslis vir enige paartjie of gesin aanbeveel.

Dit was uiters problematies en teleurstellend dat een van die kamers nie 2 enkelbeddens bevat het soos aangedui nie. Die 45 min wag met registrasie was ook uiters frustrerend.

So mooi plek, maar word soos Fort Knox bestuur.

Kan nie weer deur die administrasie rondgestuur en opgehou word nie. Wees maar gereed vir 'n twee en 'n half uur inboekproses, mits hulle 'n portier beskikbaar het 900 m weg van ontvangs.

Teleurstellend en nie die geld werd nie.

Kort na ons aankoms by ontvangs, het die man agter die toonbank vir ons gesê dat ons verseker by die verkeerde plek was. ‘n Tydjie later en nadat ons eers die bewyse van bespreking gesoek en opgespoor het, sê hy toe dat dit net ‘n grappie was en dat hy dadelik ons van op sy stelsel gesien het. Hy vra toe of ons van die Kaap is en ek antwoord toe deur om te sê dat ons nie is nie. Hy vra toe vir my waarom ek dit vir hom met so ‘n houding sê. Ek was absoluut verbaas en was toe reeds lus om na ander verblyf te gaan soek. Nadat ons ingeboek het, is daar vir ons gesê dat ons in ons voertuig, wat reeds vol was en nie spasie vir ‘n muis gehad het nie, moes plek maak vir een van die lede van hulle personeel. Die persoon ry toe saam met ons om vir ons te gaan wys waar ons die voertuig moet parkeer, asook waar ons kamer geleë is. Daar aangekom, laat die persoon ons eers op ‘n verkeerde parkering parkeer en vra ons toe ‘n paar minute later, om na ‘n ander parkering te skuif. Die sleutels wat hy by hom het maak toe ook nie die deure oop nie en hy sê toe dat ontvangs vir hom die verkeerde sleutels gegee het en dat ons daar vir hom moet staan en wag. Moeg en moedeloos, kry ons uiteindelik, ongeveer twee ure na ons aankoms by ontvangs, toegang tot ons kamer. Met eerste oog op slag bevind ons die kamer as onder standaard. Die kamer is eerstens nie baie skoon nie en ook nie baie netjies nie. Blindings voor die skuifdeure wat na die stoepie lei, hang halfpad oopgetrek en skeef en die yskas staan nog vol ou kos en drinkgoed van die vorige gaste wat in die kamer tuisgegaan het. ‘n Bedlampie werk nie en toe ons die aand wou stort, ontdek ons dat die stort se drein verstop is. Die laaste oggend om 07:00, skakel ons ontvangs en vra ons dat hulle asseblief vir ons melk vir ons koffie moet stuur. Eers 09:00, toe ons reeds op pad was om te vertrek, kom die persoon met die melk daar aan. Teen R5260.00 per nag vir ‘n eenslaapkamereenheid, het ons meer verwag en was hierdie ‘n reuse teleurstelling.

Disappointing and not worth the money.

Shortly after our arrival at reception, the man behind the counter told us that we must have been at the wrong place. Some time later and after we first looked for and found the evidence of the discussion, he then said that it was just a joke and that he immediately saw our name on his system. He then asked if we were from the Cape and I replied by saying that we were not. He then asked me why I was telling him this with such an attitude. I was absolutely amazed and already wanted to look for other accommodation. After we checked in, we were told that we had to make room for one of their staff members in our vehicle, which was already full and had no room for a mouse. The person then drives with us to show us where we have to park the vehicle, as well as where our room is located. Once there, the person first let us park in the wrong parking lot and then asked us a few minutes later to move to another parking lot. The keys he has with him do not open the doors either and he then says that reception gave him the wrong keys and that we have to stand there and wait for him. Tired and discouraged, we finally get access to our room, about two hours after our arrival at reception. At first sight we immediately find the room to be below standard. First of all, the room is not very clean and not very tidy. Blinds in front of the sliding doors that lead to the veranda hang halfway open and crooked and the fridge is still full of old food and drinks from the previous guests who stayed in the room. A bedside lamp does not work and when we wanted to take a shower in the evening, we discovered that the shower drain was blocked. The last morning at 07:00, we call reception and ask them to please send us milk for our coffee. It wasn't until 09:00, when we were already on our way to leave, that the person with the milk arrived. At R5260.00 per night for a one-bedroom unit, we expected more and this was a huge disappointment.

Pragtige woonstel en goed geleë.

Die woonstel was nie gereed toe ons 15:00 aankom nie, en dele daarvan was nie skoongemaak nie. Die skoonmakers het ook hulself ingelaat sonder kennisgewing gedurende ons verblyf wat maak dat mens geen privaatheid kan geniet nie.

Good stay but

Lank gesoek na Waterfront Village. Roete is moeilik. Met aankoms sal dit lekker gewees het as iemand die roete na Waterfront vir ons gewys het. Ons moes inligtingstukke lees oor dienste beskikbaar bv gym, swembad. Inligtingsblaaie noem dat ontbyt gereel kan word maar daar was nie so 'n reeling meer nie.
