    Super charming hosts. Flat was comfortable, stylish, and had a great location in Green Point with nice cafés, restaurants, and shops nearby and easy walk to the Water Front. Really good value.

    We stayed here for 3 nights. It was very spacious for my husband and me. It could fit 4 adults comfortably. It was a great location with easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Henk was very friendly and provided lots of information about the neighborhood and Cape Town. I would definitely stay here again!

    We really enjoyed our stay! The apartment is very comfortable, with a fully equipped kitchen, complete bathrooms with great showers, and good quality towels and bed linens. One of the bedrooms doesn’t have a heater or air conditioning, but that didn’t affect our stay. There’s a charming fireplace in the living room that heats the space nicely. The highlight is definitely the amazing terrace with a stunning view of Table Mountain – unfortunately, it was too cold to fully enjoy it during our visit, but it’s a fantastic feature!

    Excellent accomodation for my family! Good and safe location. Supermarket just across the street and many restaurants around. Townhouse well equipped and I like the small gestures of providing laundry detergent and cooking condiments. Hosts were very responsive and helpful.

    Everything was great! No notes.

    The location was great. The apartment perfectly suited our needs and had anything we possibly needed for our week long stay. We loved the private rooftop patio. Guido was quick to respond to any questions we had about Cape Town and checked in on us throughout the week. We would highly recommend Purple House and we would stay again.

    The shared rooftop terrace had almost no lighting so in the evening we weren’t able to sit up there and eat which was a shame. The washer / dryer are shared with other apartments which means you have to go out and access a different area, which wasn’t a big issue but a bit inconvenient and would have been good to know in advance. There was no cleaning service at all even though we had 5 nights. The hosts emptied our bins and towels when we asked which was appreciated. But for what we paid we thought it would be cleaned at some point. The lights in the bathroom permanently flicker so we couldn’t have them turned on - just flagging so hosts know for future guests this wasn’t a big issue :) these are all small things and would not deter us from staying in future!

    Amazing location, super safe with security on the streets and our car was fine parked out front the whole stay. Super friendly and helpful staff that will answer questions on what’s app anytime! It stays so cool in the apartment too that we only put the bedroom AC on at night. Really clean and nicely furnished inside the apartment with great facilities! Super quiet at night too with no disturbance or issues. Cooking facilities were all excellent too. We had a great time and really enjoyed our stay here, would recommend!

    Home is beautiful and also fabulously decorated. Property managers Henk and Guido are just down the street. Check in and out were both easy. There is a grocery store and plenty of restaurants nearby for your self catering. Stayed here three nights with our two kids and everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks all!!

    The hosts were kind and accommodating when we arrived early from an international flight and allowed us to store our luggage before check in. The accommodation exceeded our expectations and we loved the ground floor house. It was very spacious and comfortable and with a beautiful sitting room and kitchen and private balcony. There was great attention to detail with the interior design and home comforts. The area is peaceful and quiet and felt safe. Despite being ground floor accommodation, there were a few steps leading up to the entrance which may impact people with mobility issues.

    our hosts were very accommodating as we needed to drop or bags before check in. They also allowed us to leave our bags there upon checkout. Everything was well explained. Amazing location in the heart of De Waterkant yet the house was surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Comfortable big bed and a strong shower (little things like this make all the difference to me)

    It was quite hot at night and the 2nd bedroom does not have A/C so it became uncomfortably warm, a fan was provided though.
