"A good place for a short stay in Cape Town's Southern Suburbs."

(South Africa) anonymous

"We stayed in the best of the three flats at Waterways. Being right on the water we had a lovely view of the beautiful waterway from our sitting room and patio. It should appeal to visitors out of Cape Town."

"We had a perfect time.We also got engaged there on Saturday, the pictures do not do justice to how amazing it is at Waterways. We stayed in the main waterside flat absolute gorgeous view to wake up to. Clean and neat. Nice and peaceful surroundings. Out of all the places we have been to Waterways really impressed us and definitely took my breath away. Will definitely be going back there. The host Les is really great and made us feel at home straight away."

"Wow! What an absolute blessing it was to break away from the routine of daily life. Waterways is nothing short of absolute paradise. To think I have lived in Cape Town all my life, driven past this gem many times before. Not knowing that just behind the tarmac, past a few residential houses and trees was a true magnificence. Waterways will blow your expectations as it did mine. Lesley and Roy are two outstanding people and know exactly how to accommodate you. When arriving you are immediately greeted warmly and shown to your retreat. Before you pay thousands of rands going on safaris and trips around the world, visit Waterways which would likely be no more than 30minutes drive from just about anywhere in Cape Town. It will be an experience that will last a lifetime, and will linger in the back of your mind long after you have left as it still does in mine. The only true issue I had was leaving, it was really difficult to leave Waterways honestly. A sight for sore eyes! Thank you Lesley and Roy. I will definitely be coming for a weekend stay sometime soon. You guys are awesome. "


"The highlight of my stay was to sit outside at night and relax while listening to nature. "

Jacobus Frederick Koster

"I love the location and relaxing surrounding of the Waterways and the friendly hosts, Lesley & Roy, who respects one's privacy.
It's so relaxing that you can easily forget that you're not really alone."


"what a view"

Nalan Petersen

"Loved the view and the quietness. You feel like you in another place just me and the world"


"Friendliness and hospitality of the hosts."

Kirk And Ingrid West

"I loved walking on the island and interacting with the locals walking their dogs. Got some good photographs of birds and visited Strandfontein Sewarage Works and Rondevlei Bird Sanctuary.
Small point there was no egg lifter in our more than adequate kitchen."


"Clean and beautiful place to stay "

Monica Caldeira

"We really had a wonderful time , the place was clean and neat and the owner was very friendly. We will def go back there. "


"Nice and Cosy"

(South Africa) Godwin Dzvuke

"Very nice quiet place. Relaxed and peaceful environment and cheerful hosts. I will gladly return one day"


"Peaceful"

(South Africa) Francois Rossouw

"It is almost impossible to believe that Waterways is situated in the busy Cape Town.

The area is beautiful and peaceful next to the water.

There are many bird life to enjoy.

Defiantly worth staying there."

"Namibian guests"

"the house is OK, it has things that you need for a normal stay, but nothing to mention as special. A small over the counter grill that has two hot plates for your minimal cooking. The only positive thing about it is over clean ness of the house, and proximity to water. The house has a nice view from Marina Da Gama waters. Nicely located in the northhand side of the waters that os less windy. Try not to get the off water flat, as it is very small and now views to nowhere, even no appropriate lighting. Overall the houseware are designed to be as less as possible for the visitor to have an acceptable stay at the house. Don't expect receiving cleaning service, shampoo and soaps, or enough cooking pots, cuttlery or glassery for your cookings. If you decide to go there bring all you need for cooking or taking showers. Don't expect special treatment, which is common to all other places we stayed in the way from johannesburg to cape town in 6 places, you are a simple customer; you are paying the fee and getting the keys. One more thing, bargain for price as if you don't do it you will easily be charged by a higher fee than stated in the initial fee shown in the website. If I find somewhere else next time I won't go there again. We had another place in Marina Da Gama, but it was booked for the rest of our stay, so we had to move somewhere else, that's why we had to go to waterways. Waterways was highly overcharged than the other place, but we had no other choice."


"Breathtaking"

(South Africa) Lacal

"I was looking for a break away and what a break away it was. The views was spectacular, overlooking the mountain and the waters. The room itself was fully stocked with all you could possibly need. The owner Lesley was an absolute sweetheart. Will definitely be going back. "


"Spectacular"

(South Africa) Vicki

"A very big thank you to Roy and Lesley. We had a great time. The view is outstanding, the accommodation was perfect. We will definitely be back again. What a relaxing and peaceful weekend it was. "


"First, Best Holiday In Cape Town"

(South Africa) Vusi

"My stay was excellent. Loved the environment, it was quiet and the staff was friendly. The accommodation was neat, everything was in place and well equipped. It was a great value for money and I will go back."


"Where We Found Love"

(South Africa) Heinrich

"This is by far the most amazing getaway for my partner and I. We could've not been happier. We found our love among all the nature and peaceful treasures. Thank you for having us.

"Romantic Getaway"

(South Africa) TEZNA

"My partner had an operation and we needed a breakaway from the hustle and bustle. Waterways was ideal and just what we needed. The environment was so quiet and the river at the venue had a nice calming effect on us. Our stay was just perfect."

"We booked via internet and expected nothing like the photos as set out on the web. What a brilliant surprise an arrival to see that reality actually exceeds the photo's. Meeting Lesley on arrival was extremely pleasant and she made you feel at home from the very first minute. The establishment is neat, clean and very well laid out, we never ever felt cramped. It as everything you want, fridge, oven, micro wave, kettle and all cutlery and crockery. Very pleasant shower and bathroom facilities. Outside table with chairs on the brim of the water with a braai at your disposal. We will most definitely recommend waterways to whoever wants to go to the Cape area and rest assured we will use it again as and when we are in the Cape. It just has everything at a very affordable price. Well done Roy and Lesley Jones. You made our visit very enjoyable. "

Everything from the kitchen to toilet and bedding was really clean and the place is very well maintained.
The venue is close to everything from shops to beaches and holiday places to drive to.
We needed a break and Waterway offered that in fine style. It was so peaceful and we could really relax.
We loved it and we are already planning on returning very soon within this year still and the host Lesley and Roy are so friendly and helpful.

"Roy and Lesley were perfect hosts. They replied to my request for accommodation very quickly and were always willing to assist when I enquired about any attractions and things to do in the area. I have been to Cape Town before and they made me feel like it was my first time. They definitely made us feel welcome, I honestly did not want to leave.
The room we stayed in was lovely and well kept not anything was out of place and perfect for a couples romantic getaway, with a lovely view of the mountains. I could sit for hours just watching the view.
I would definitely bring the whole family along the next time.

We loved the view and the birds which came right onto the deck for a snack. We took a pleasant walk on the island, meeting up with a variety of people and their assorted dogs.
Our hosts were friendly and helpful but unobtrusive.
We would certainly go back there for another visit and will recommend it to all our friends.
Thanks a lot Roy & Lesley!

I loved the fact that it is spacious enough for everything you will need for your stay, Cutlery and crockery is provided, it was nice and clean as well.
I really enjoyed the patio area where it leads onto the lakeside, with the ducks greeting you and just creating that final break away feeling/atmosphere with amazing views of the mountain and nature. My most favourite part was going onto the lake with my partner; it was so romantic and memorable.
I will definitely go back, I was sad to leave and I already recommended waterways to a few friends :)
