Waterways

Very relaxing.

I had a lovely and safe stay. After a hectic day, the place was nice, calm and relaxing.

Peaceful.

Peaceful. Lesley was great and went above and beyond.

Pleasant weekend.

Very nice. I would definitely recommend.

Beautiful place.

Lovely place on the water - Lesley was helpful but not intrusive.

Excellent.

My stay at Waterways is consistently excellent. Lesley is exceptionally accommodating, and the view is my favourite part. It is an incredibly peaceful place.

Peaceful, beautiful surroundings, worth the price, easy access to shops/attractions.

Host was friendly. Always willing to assist when needed.

Baie lekker plek, maar kan doen met 'n sprucing up.

Baie lekker gebly, plek het groot potensiaal.

Friendly host and pleasant environment.

Very convenient, friendly host and pleasant environment.

Breathtaking views.

My stay was very amazing.

Was 'n ongelooflike lekker naweek, veilige, skoon omgewing met baie vriendelike mense.

Was 'n ongelooflike naweek. Sal weer gaan. Skoon, veilige area, goeie diens en gasvryheid.

Tannie Lesley is baie gasvry en die plek is pragtig.

Wonderlike plek! Beveel Waterways aan vir enige iemand!

It was perfect.

Excellent. Everything and the host were extremely accommodating and friendly.

Excellent.

Our stay was excellent. It is always so nice to be at Waterways as it was our 2nd visit, and the host is always so accommodating to our needs.

Comfortable joyful.

Was excellent, easy access.

Best value for money with a perfect location.

Absolutely breathtaking views. Location was perfect to explore Cape Town. Thank you for accommodating our very late arrival time. We will definitely be back!

Wonderlik.

Dit was 'n pragtige, skoon, netjiese plek en die dame was super behulpsaam en vriendelik. Puik diens en regtig baie mooi skoon en veilig.

Fantasties sal weer wil kom.

Lekker ruistige omgewing. Mooi en netjies buite en binne. Klomp aktiwiteite. Gasvrou was baie graaf en vriendelik. Sal graag 'n groter plek volgende keer wil huur in die selfde omgewing. Dankie.

Rustig, skoon en mooi.

Dit was 'n wonderlike kuier.

Pleasant peaceful waterfront room.

Enjoyed my relaxed, private stay in the budget room. Perfect for recovery after operation. Explored surrounding areas and island. A true adventure.

Meer as net oorslaap. 'N lekke belewenis.

Ek glo min mense weet van die waterstraat-dorpie en dis om met 'n trapbootjie oral heen te vaar. Lesley is 'n dierbare gasvroutjie, wat mens sommer dadelik tuis laat voel. Plekkie is pragtig, goed toegerus en silwerskoon. Dis ook gerieflik naby aan Muizenberg se pragtige strand en hope eetplekkies. Definitief aan te beveel.

Very nice view. Right location from where to operate. Impressed with all facilities.

Very nice view. Enjoyed my stay.

Tranquility.

Beautiful views, quiet, just what I needed.

Just needs a bigger TV.

Comfortable and relaxing.

Ongelooflik.

Ja, ons het dit baie geniet. Baie rustig en dit was baie ontspannend.

Amazing and tranquil.

I would recommend if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. An absolute gem of a place with scenic views over the lake. We will definitely visit again in the near future.

Hard to improve on, as the location is also excellent, near Muizenberg.

The view over the lake (Zandvlei) from the Off-Water Unit where we stayed is exquisite, and with a patio at two separate levels we spent most of our time there, whether eating, drinking tea or sundowners, reading, or just taking in the watery panorama. The bedroom is big enough and the bathroom quite spacious. The host is a wonderful person, with a great sense of humour, attention to detail, and concern about anything we might need. Add to all of this the Park Island Nature Reserve 200 metres away, where one can go for long walks and enjoy all the wetland birds and flora. Marina da Gama is like a self-contained quiet oasis, isolated from the traffic and suburbs around.

Well and good.

Superb and security were friendly to us when asking about places and travel.

Out of 5 to ten, an 8.

I enjoyed the stay; the surrounding area is beautiful, as well as the island.

Quite and very peaceful.

Very neat and tidy. Value for money.

Fantastic.

Great location, great hospitality, and we had all that we needed supplied and working.

Very nice.

Enjoyed the view and space because the flat has a direct entrance to the lagoon!

Fantastic.

The stay was wonderful. The scenery is beautiful, it's nice and peaceful as well with bird life swimming past the patio. At night, you can hear the fish jumping out of the water. There is a nice paddle boat that can be used, which made the stay even more spectacular.

Ons het ons kuier geniet.

Ja, behalwe vir die sitkamerbanke. Dit was baie ongemaklik en het gevoel soos 'n harde plank teen die rug. Daar is nie ordentlike parkering nie. Mens moet onder laaghangende bome parkeer. Ons bakkie is hoog en het gekrap. Sou die bome bietjie gesnoei word, sal daar voldoende parkering vir 3 motors wees. Die uitsig oor die water en berge was fantasties.

Baie lekker.

Was kleiner as verwag, maar baie lekker.

Wonderful.

Very warm and friendly welcome, the host was very accommodating.

Pleasant, well located accommodation.

I was in Cape Town for work. Although small for two people, the accommodation was very pleasant and had a good outside area that can be used in good weather. It is well located with easy access to various amenities. A good place for walking. The unit that we were in had poor WiFi connectivity, and you had to go outside to connect. Once connected, the connection seemed to hold.

Ons het lekker gebly.

Stil en rustig. Gasvrou was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam.

A lovely experience overall, at budget rates!

Directions were clear and easy to follow. The surroundings were pleasant with convenient walks in a natural environment. Our host was friendly and helpful.

Host was very nice and helpful.

Very nice place, the only thing that put me off is that you have to walk through the toilet/bathroom with your food if you want to go sit outside to prepare or eat food on the balcony.

Lokasie van Waterways is "regtig great" maar die akkommodasie "nie te great nie".

Die lokasie self is baie great en die akkommodasie het 'n regtig mooi ingang en onderboom parkeerplek, baie mooi uitsig van die stoep af (wanneer die water nie vol algea goed is nie - nie op die foto nie) maar ja, daar is 'n hele paar goed wat moet opgeneem word met die eienaar. Ons het gereël om die eerste dag 08H00 in te boek, maar ons was so 'n halfuur laat. Toe ek bel om dit met haar te bespreek, weier sy dat ons kom (alhoewel sy eintlik daar bly en reg vir ons was vir die 08H00 inboek). Mag ons nie meer kom tot 14H00 (gewone tyd - sonder 'n verduideliking) nie, wat vir ons heeltemal omver gooi met beplanning ens. Ons wou eintlik daar en dan kanselleer, ons was so teleurgesteld. Die woonstel se banke was seker 40 jaar oud, baie hard en houterig wat uiters ongemaklik was, en die probleem was dit is die enigste plek waar 'n mens kan sit in die aande. Die baie klein waaier/fan wat verskaf was vir die sitplek area en kamer was so klein en swak dat as jy nie voor dit sit nie, voel jy niks nie. Die haardroër het die een aand opgeblaas in my vrou se hande, en sy was baie gelukkig om nie seer te kry of 'n skok te kry nie. Toe ek dit aan die eienaar die volgende oggend rapporteer, was die reaksie een van "Oh well, I am not going to replace it", nie eens gevra of my vrou okay is nie, dit was vir my baie swak. Ek sal nie weer daar gaan nie, al was die lokasie mooi en die klein "peddle boat" baie nice om op die water te gaan. Te veel klein dinge was nie vir ons lekker nie. Daar was net plastiekstoele buite in plek van nice gemaklike buitestoele waar 'n mens kan gemaklik buite braai en die sonsondergang kan kyk, baie "cheap" alternatief. Daar is nie eens 'n plek vir die mikrogolf nie, dit is op die sitkamerhoektafel by die banke wat regtig nie lekker was nie. Die agterglydeur hak vas elke liewe keer as jy dit sluit en oopmaak, iets wat sekerlik lankal herstel kon word. Ons het nie eens die laaste dag/aand daar geslaap - spandeer nie, sonder om eers te worry ons mors 'n aand se akkommodasie nie, eerder by familie oorgeslaap. Jammer, maar ek sê wat op my hart is sodat julle weet, help nie ek blaas hulle trompet nie, maar daar is soveel goed om te verbeter. Ons betaal baie geld om daar te gaan bly, maar ek dink die eienaar het die plek so lank sy hoef nie te worry oor goed te "upgrade" en te verbeter of beter te maak nie, want niemand kla nie of sê wat fout is nie. Groete, Jurrie.

Gastehuis eienaar baie vriendelik en hulpvaardig.

Ja, pragtig stil en veilig.

Excellent.

It was great and close to everything.

Relaxation.

Had such an amazing time. Very peaceful. Great service. Having visitors was nice. Thank you so much.

Ek sal dit definitief hierdie plek aanbeveel. Puik inderdaar.

Dit was definitief 'n goeie ervaring. Ons het lekker gebly.

I could not have asked for a more private and lovely place to relax and enjoy a break away from my busy life at home.

The host was wonderful. She is really a very nice person. I will go back there again. Really worth it.

Dit was net wat ons gesoek het, naby die see, en 'n lekker wegbreekplekkie en 'n plekkie van rus.

Sal dit vir seker aanbeveel, dit was regtig een vir die boeke!

It was great and peaceful, and it offered good value for money.

The area and location were excellent.

I will definitely visit Waterways again, best place to relax.

Lesley is the best hostess by far. Thank you, I appreciate your hospitality.

Peaceful environment.

The host, Lesley, was very helpful and kind. The place is cosy. WiFi is only available outside at the back.

A 2-week work play getaway.

This was our second stay at Waterways — our first time in the Budget Flat. Unfortunately, the weather was really unkind during our stay, so my dream of pedalo-ing around the islands was not realized. The Budget Flat offers an outdoor space on the water's edge, which we could also sadly not make the most of due to the weather. Lesley was a great hostess and made sure that our stay was comfortable and clean!

It was amazing, very relaxing and outstandingly tranquil.

Amazing views, lovely community. I would recommend it to anyone looking for the perfect getaway surrounded by beauty and nature.

It was exotic, safe, comfortable, neat and exploring.

The owner is very caring and her hospitality is excellent everything you need is available, toilet paper, shower gel, coffee, tea, sugar, utensils even matches and even a paddle boat I must tell the owner, Leslet, knows hospitality even plugs and a hairdryer, very nice.

It was really relaxing - enjoyed it.

Friendly services and hospitality was nice.

Awesome, very beautiful.

The price was good, the water boat ride was awesome. The neighbour was friendly, the booking was an easy process.

Heerlike ontspanning.

Gasvrou vriendelik en behulpsaam, mooi plek, net 'n bietjie klein en beknop vir 2 persone.

Wonderful flatlet on the water.

We had a wonderful time at Waterways. The flat has everything you need and is ideal for nature lovers. We were right on the water and it was great escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.

Skoon, netjies en goed toegerus.

Baie billik en sal weer daar bespreek as ons net vir 'n aand of twee Kaapstad toe moet gaan.

Baie rustig.

Alles wat nodig was vir rustige wegbreek.

Spacious, comfortable accommodation with a beautiful view.

I enjoyed my stay and the host is wonderful and friendly. I took a little trip on the paddle boat which was fun and was greeted by friendly neighbors as I passed by. Thank you so much, I will be back for sure.

Short stay to take a friend to the airport.

Stayed for a few days before taking a friend to the airport. Lovely to wake up to a view of the water in the morning. Just a note to Lesley - possibly trim branches off the trees where we park as we broke the ariel on the roof of the car manoeuvring under them and 2 small bedside tables would not go amiss. Other than that, a perfect holiday stay.

Amazing stay and amazing host. Will be back.

My second time staying at Waterways. Always felt like home. The host is amazing. I will be back.

Skaflike venue, goeie ligging.

Lekker naby alles in die suide. Soms word daar WiFi geadverteer maar dis 'n twyfelagtige konneksie, maar Waterways het behoorlike WiFi. Sal volgende keer vir langer wil bly om die eiland te verken en meer te stap.

Dit was rustig en aangenaam. Wonderlike plekkie net om te gaan rus.

Asemrowende plekkie.

A comfortable and lovely stay.

Our hostess, Lesley, was wonderful and helpful, and our units were really lovely and comfortable. The location was convenient and central to where we needed to be.

Waterways is beeldskoon en stapafstand van alles wat iemand kan benodig.

Mooi uitsig naby en winkels net om die draai.

Amazing views of the marine.

See stars.

Quiet and beautiful setting.

Waterways is a great location for a medium to short-term stay. The venue is lovely and reasonably equipped (apart from no plugs in the bedroom of our unit). Friendly, helpful owners/management. Highly recommended and ideal for a couple looking for peace and quiet while visiting Cape Town.

Super awesome environment, friendly owner, beautiful scenery,.

Eienaar was baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Plek was baie netjies, ons het die stilte geniet asook die asemrowende uitkyk oor die water. Sal beslis weer in warmer dae boek. Loadshedding was 'n problem, nie genoeg voorsiening vir loadshedding.

Great place.

Really enjoyed the stay.

Outstanding and real value for money.

The view was excellent, relaxed atmosphere and excellent location. I will definitely book again.

Was lekker maar te kort.

Naby goeie strande geleë.

Lekker uitgerus en alles aangenaam gevind.

Alles was in orde en die gasvrou was baie behulpsaam.

Fantastiese sakpas verblyf!

Die buitewyke van die Marina staan in antitese met die lushof wat jy vind wanneer jy die bewaarde-area betree. Jy kan stap, roei en visvang in die kompleks en die lagoon. Die eienaar was beskikbaar en die inboek was maklik. Die woonstel was gerieflik, skoon en het alles gehad wat nodig was. Die uitsig oor die Marina was asemrowend. Die voëllewe was 'n plesier om te aanskou. Die bekostigbaarheid van daardie stukkie paradys maak dat ons vir seker weer daar sal bly.

Adequate.

The lack of WiFi in the room makes working at night difficult. There is no hairdryer and the towels provided are small bath towels.

Gemaklik en rustig.

Was 'n pragtige plek en baie netjies. Al wat aandag nodig het is die wifi. Mens kan dit net buite op die stoep opvang. So as die weer sleg is, is daar nie wifi nie. Of as jy nie buite wil sit nie.

Lekker gebly.

Unieke experience met kano's beskikbaar vir gebruik.

Rustig en 'n asemrowende uitsig.

Net wat ek en my man nodig gehad het.

It was good, the area was nice, however, it wasn't what I expected.

The picture on the website shows that you can sit outside and braai but it was just a room with a kitchen and bathroom and you couldn't sit outside and enjoy the sun, a bit disappointed.

Demanding hostess. Furnishings dead.

A good host is one that you don't have to interact with. Everything should work without long explanations. Lesley demanded to know exactly how late we will arrive several times. It's like it's not convenient for her to have guests. The unit was fairly well equipped but the furnishings and bedding are old and could do with an upgrade. Pillows are like pancakes. TV worked the 1st night but then Lesley came into our room when we were out the next day. They apparently had to fix the TV, which then didn't work anymore. Maybe some mosquito repellant will be appreciated. The first night we were eaten alive.

Great.

Need to ensure Wi-Fi is reachable in this particular flatlet.

Baie lekker gewees.

Het my vakansie baie geniet, veral oor dit my eerste keer is die Kaap was.

Dit was tasmagoories. ons het elke oomblik geniet daar.

Ons dogter en man het ons die saterdag kom kuier en om die plek te besigtig, hulle hou baie van die plek en wil nou ook vir 'n naweekbespreek.

Awesome.

The place was very neat. Friendly host, very helpful. Place was peaceful and relaxing.

Our stay was very relaxed and enjoyable. Lovely view to sit and gaze at while relaxing.

We had a very refreshing stay and enjoyed the position of the establishment. Will hope to visit again.

Dit was baie stil en rustig. Ek het baie daarvan gehou.

Die dame wat ons ontvang het was baie vriendelik en die woonstel was naby die lake. Ek en my vriendin het gestap tot daar. Dit was 'n pragtige uitsig.

Dit is 'n pragtige plek waar Lesley ons gul ontvang het.

Dit was perfek vir ons kort kuier op die Kaapse skiereiland. Dit was stil en privaat en die uitsig was net fantasties. Waterways is smaakvol, goed toegerus en dit voldoen aan die hoogste standaarde. Baie dankie aan Lesley om so 'n plek beskikbaar te stel.

Pragtige plek, sal enige tyd weer gaan.

Ek en my vrou het die plek geniet, dit was pragtig, die water is naby en jy kan met 'n bootjie vaar en stap na die eiland en dis veilig, en Leslie het ons welkom laat voel. Al was die weer nie so lekker nie, maar ons het dit geniet.

Baie netjies en ligging baie gerieflik.

Gasvrou het ons sommer dadelik verwelkom. Sy ook mooi veduidelik waar alles is en hoe dit werk.

Fantasties.

Dankie, Lesley. Weer eens het jy aan ons bewys dat jy 'n goeie onderneming bestuur en dat jy jou gaste se belange op die hart dra. Baie dankie. Hoop om binnekort weer 'n bespreking te doen.

Rejuvenating.

Peaceful and tranquil venue.

The visit was so good.

We enjoyed the stay at waterways.

Dit was baie lekker en rustig. Die gasvrou was baie vriendelik en het ons baie gemaklik laat voel.

Die bonus was dat die inkopiesentrum baie naby was.

Just love the peace and quiet. we will go back anytime.

We enjoyed our stay at Waterways. Will definitely go back. Lesley was and is awesome and friendly. Will recommend Waterways to anyone that wants to get away from home. In actual fact, I already told a few people about Waterways.

Short 3-day stay to visit family also based in Marina da Gama.

We stayed in the 'budget flat' which is very basic, but fine if you're just looking for a place to sleep. The Wi-Fi is fast provided you are on the patio.

Awesome and peaceful.

We had awesome stay. Thanks to the amazing hostess, Lesley. The view is amazing and peaceful. Will definitely book again.

Relaxing.

The setup is beautiful. Lesley the owner was a breath of fresh air. And I would go again. Photos on the website do not do justice to the actual photos. It's a beautiful place. Shareen B.

Waterways is a great place to stay if you want peace and quiet. I was in Cape Town for business for work, but it is also a really nice place to stay for vacation. Lesley, the host, is super friendly, helpful and humorous. The apartment I stayed in is nearly located to a shopping centre (10 minute walk) and walking to the sea takes about 35 minutes.

The apartment is super clean, the bed is very comfortable, cooking facilities are sufficient and the bathroom is spacious. What I especially liked was the magnificent view on the river (Vlei) and the mountains. There was also a possibilty to use Lesly's kanoe or rowing boat. Waterways is a great get away.

Dit was so lekker om in die oggend op te staan en koffie drink op die dam. Rus en vrede. Baie stil.

Dit is 'n pragtige omgewing, omtrent geen verkeer of geraas nie, sal enige tyd weer gaan.

Very nice place and friendly person to deal with.

Only disappointment was not being able to use the canoe and boat due to weeds on the entire lake.

Fantastiese verblyf.

Ons het in die hoofwoonstel gebly. Alles was perfek, baie skoon en netjies. Die uitsig was ongelooflik mooi. Alles so rustig en kalm. Dankie daan ons gasvrou, Lesley. Hoop om jou weer te sien.

Was 1 van die beste naweke.

Dit is naby die see, naby die winkels en ook lekker privaat, ek sal weer wil gaan. Was 'n wonderlike naweek en goeie plekkie, baie netjies. Die kuier het ons goed gedoen. Ons was see toe, winkels toe, als is so lekker naby, ek sal dit enige tyd aanbeveel.

It was great.

We had such a great weekend and Lesley was so helpful.

Very private, very accommodating.

Pleasant host. Accommodating. Friendly.
