Res

The location was fantastic, the cottage was gorgeous, clean and had everything we needed. The views were breathtaking! The host felt like a friend inviting us into his home. Friendly and helpful!

We were happy with everything.

This is the second time we choose this location. Our experience is always amazing, relaxing and refreshing. Our host is very hospitable and welcoming. We love the interaction.

Nothing that we can think of as everything was awesome 😎

Comfortabel, schoon, sfeervol, modern, op een fantastische locatie met schitterend uitzicht en een zeer behulpzame en vriendelijke eigenaar. Een adres om naar terug te keren.

Niets. Dit was compleet.

Die mit Abstand beste Unterkunft in Kapstadt! Die Aussicht ist unbeschreiblich! Die Wohnung ist unfassbar sauber und der Besitzer ist ein unfassbar hilfsbereiter und netter Typ! Auch vom Preis her ist diese Wohnung eine 10/10. Für das Geld die Leistung ist eigentlich kaum zu glauben. Gerne wieder !!!

Das wir nur so kurz da waren !

very clean, well-equipped apartment with everything you need for comfortable stay, good restaurant next to the house, nice host, perfect place for family or 4 adults

Arend’s place is amazing and he is a great and helpful host. We stayed there for 2 nights with our 2 year old daughter who also loved the place. The apartment is in a very nice and quiet area and has beautiful views from all the windows. It was very clean and had everything we needed. It is in walking distance from a tidal pool and also close to a nice restaurant. Highly recommended when staying near Simon’s Town.

Everything was perfect.

- L'accueil et la gentillesse de notre hôte , Arend - L'Emplacement , proche de la mer et de Simonswtown. A 500 mètres d'un centre commercial avec plusieurs supermarchés et autres boutiques. - La vue sur le mer à couper le souffle - La propreté de l'appartement. - Chacune des 2 chambres dispose de sa propre salle de bains. - L'espace généreux de l'appartement

- Le manque de rideaux dans chambre principale. il n'est pas possible d'obsurcir la pièce . Trop de soleil pour moi au réveil. - Les 70 marches inégales pour accéder au logement. Un souci avec les valises (bien que notre hôte nous ait aidé) . Le logement n'est pas à recommander pour les personnes âgées ou avant des difficultés à se déplacer

This place is a gem and the view is stunning! Arend was such a great host. Will definitely be back.

The views of the ocean were spectacular. We also lovely that it was spacious, and beautifully decorated. Everything about the area and property was relaxing and therapeutic.

Minor things like the absence of streaming services on the TV, and the toasterless kitchen.

Arend is an incredible host. Very friendly and welcoming. We needed to drop off our bags earlier and he was extremely accommodating. The accommodation is top notch with an incredible view. There is absolutely everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. Everything looks brand new and the place is immaculate! Arend is a perfectionist which shows in the way the accommodation has been maintained.

The view of the ocean and its tranquility

Very comfortable and spacious

Beautifully clean simplicity. Fresh feeling.

Todella siisti,upealla näköalalla.Todella iso asunto. Isäntä oli todella avualias ja kantoi laukut asuntoon. Sijainti on hyvä ja kauppoja lähellä. Kaikki sujui ongelmitta. Upea upea ja kerran vielä upea paikka 🤗🤩

Sehr gute Ausstattung, große Wohnung, toller Ausblick, sehr sauber. Arend als Vermieter: super nett, hilfsbereit.

Unser Aufenthalt bei Arend war einfach großartig! Arend ist ein unglaublich freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber – er hat uns sogar geholfen, unsere Koffer die vielen Stufen hinunterzutragen. Die Unterkunft ist nur über einige steile Stufen erreichbar, aber es lohnt sich absolut! Von unserem Schlafzimmer aus hatten wir einen fantastischen Blick auf die False Bay – besonders die Sonnenaufgänge waren atemberaubend. Mit etwas Glück kann man sogar Wale direkt von der Unterkunft aus beobachten – also am besten ein Fernglas mitbringen! Direkt unter der Unterkunft befindet sich ein wunderschöner Tidal Pool, perfekt zum Schwimmen und Entspannen. In Laufweite gibt es ein sehr gutes Restaurant, und die Gegend fühlt sich sicher und ruhig an. Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge auf die Kaphalbinsel – und nur etwa 10 Minuten von den Pinguinen am Boulders Beach entfernt. Alles in allem: eine perfekte Unterkunft mit Charme, Aussicht und einer tollen Atmosphäre. Wir kommen definitiv wieder! 🌊🐋🌅

Absolutely beautiful! The views, the house, the wonderful welcome from Arend. Location is excellent.

Nothing.

Too Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis. Würden gerne nochmal im Sommer kommen.

Gibt nichts...vielleicht für den Sommer ein paar nettere Stühle für den Balkon oder Sonnenschirm zum Mitnehmen (Strand).

We had a wonderful experience staying in this beautiful holiday home. Arend and Anita are very kind, caring and responsive hosts and spare no effort to ensure a fantastic stay. The house is immaculately clean, has quality finishes and great beds. It is fitted with everything you might need for a comfortable stay. You will experience breathtaking views from here, being some of the most beautiful views we've had from holiday homes. You will hear and see the train passing by, feeling like stepping back in time for a moment. Magical! Truly a little piece of heaven - we enjoyed every moment of our stay.

There are quite a few stairs, with some steep and narrow ones, which will not be suitable for elderly guests or people with disabilities.

What an incredible place! We couldn't have wished for a better introduction to our South African adventure. Stayed here for 6 days and it was hard to leave. This place has everything - spectacular views, lovely hosts Arend and Anita, safe neighbourhood, beautiful decor, a lot of space, comfortable beds, everything you need in the kitchen, a beach and a tidal pool right in front, shopping for groceries available within a few minutes drive, a good restaurant (Dixies) right below and the charming Simon's Town with Boulder Beach also just a few minutes away. It also has a great location if you want to explore all areas of teh Cape - from Cape Town to Cape Peninsula without having to book multiple accomodations in different spots. We absolutely loved every minute of it - from the breathtaking sunrise moments to listnening to the crashing of the waves before going to sleep. Thank you Arend and Anita for a magical stay! (Note: Due to steps this cottage is not suitable for guests with mobility issues).

This was the very best holiday we've ever had! And that was entirely because of where we stayed. The cottage is truly immaculate. Super clean, super comfortable, super safe, and has absolutely everything you need. My family and I really enjoyed staying here, it felt like absolute luxury and is excellent value for money. The pictures don't do it justice,and that's saying a lot. The views are out of this world incredible! Had the best sleep with the sound of the ocean so nearby. We did not mind the steps at all. I have so much respect and admiration for the love and care that has gone into this cottage. Every little detail is perfection.👌 This was such a special treat for my family and one we'll enjoy at least once a year, God Willing 🙏 This is more than accomodation. It's a Home ❤️ I could write a book about how amazing this place is 😄 Thank you again, Arend, and God bless!! Hope to see you again soon. Love, the Theron family.

The view is breathtaking & Arend has paid such attention to detail. We will definitely be back.

We loved everything

The apartment is absolutely incredible! 😎 The views are amazing with the garden ground adding another level to the experience! Recommend taking binoculars in order to watch the bird life having its morning drink. Thanks very much to Arend and Anita for their hospitality and friendship!

The slopes up to the property are quite daunting at first sight but aren’t really a problem. Take care turning into Main Road as there’s a dip at the edge of the main drag , so enter slowly and at a bit of an angle.

Incredible Stay at 18 Steps Guest House! We recently had the pleasure of staying at the 18 Steps Guest House for two nights, and we couldnt be more thrilled with our experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by Arend, our wonderful host, who made us feel right at home. The guest house itself is an oasis of cleanliness and comfort. Every detail was meticulously attended to, which made our stay incredibly enjoyable. The ambiance was warm and inviting, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The views from the guest house are nothing short of breathtaking. Whether we were enjoying a morning coffee on the balcony with its beautiful view of False Bay, or winding down in the evening, the scenery was a constant reminder of the beauty surrounding us. This accommodation is a hidden gem. Arends hospitality was the cherry on top of our fantastic stay. He was attentive, friendly, and always ready with great recommendations for local attractions and dining options. It is clear that he genuinely cares about his guests and goes above and beyond to ensure their stay is memorable. We wholeheartedly recommend 18 Steps Guest House to anyone looking for a serene escape with outstanding hospitality. Thank you Arend, for making our stay unforgettable! Kind regards, Morne and Cor

Nothing we didnt personally like. Not wheelchair friendly or for people with disabilities due to the stairs.

18 Steps is a fabulous destination. Made for couples or families, from your intial welcome by your hosts, to the warm friendly departure at the conclusion. The views location and ambience are beyond expectations and are nothing short of incredible. #Spectacular Will, I am sure, be back !!

Nothing to not like. Nothing at all !! With all properties with fabulous views, comes elevation, and elevation means steps. The clue is in the name of the property. Bring good footwear to be sure footed !

One of the best properties I have stayed in. Great position with stunning views overlooking the sea, superb interior, spotlessly clean and a wonderful host. I could not fault this amazing place, we loved every minute of our stay, close to Simonstown and Boulders, with excellent restaurant on doorstop.

Our stay was too short, next time will stay much longer

Arend has been a wonderful host, extremely responsive and helpful. The apartment is very clean and well equipped and the view is in deed breathtaking. It’s ideally situated as it’s walking distance to a restaurant as well as a tidal pool, nice to swim in the ocean. We will definitely come back.

This place is utterly incredible - don't hesitate to make your booking! We couldn't have asked for better sea views or more hospitable hosts - Arend and Anita are absolute gems and so is Glencairn! The apartment is spotlessly clean thanks to Arend's amazing attention to detail and extremely comfortable (including the beds) with everything you could need for a perfect stay. Lovely bbq/braai space downstairs complete with dartboard in addition to the dining space in the flat. Nice little balcony off the kitchen with amazing sea views for sundowners. Ample parking on the road outside. Just a 5 min walk to the most gorgeous beach and tidal pool. Super surf cafe within walking distance as well as other nice restaurants and bars. We couldn't have asked for a better holiday spot and will definitely be returning. Thank you Arend and Anita!

Everything!! The place is amazing, the hosts were perfect and literally a phone call away. 18 Steps is in pristine condition - neat, elegantly decorated with the most amazing view!! Thank you Arend and Anita for hosting us. Best experience we’ve ever had in Cape Town.

Nothing. Anita and Arend checked all the boxes.

I loved everything about this property. The hosts were incredible and friendly. It has amazing views and perfect location.

Nothing

The accommodations are beautiful and well appointed; very clean and well equipped. Gorgeous views!

The access from the road parking to the apartment is not easy to navigate with very steep and at some places very narrow stairs. Not recommended for the elderly nor young children.

The view is breathtaking The Accomodation is pristine Top quantity furnishing, bedding, kitchen ware and equipment The owners are super helpful Overall an absolute gem

Nothing

Beautiful place with the most amazing views. Looks even better than pictures. A real gem. Arend the most gracious host. Highly recommended. Will come back.

Nothing.

Beautiful spacious accommodation. Great views. Well equipped kitchen. The outside Lapa, great for a braai. Complimentary bottle of wine was a thoughtful gesture. All round it was wonderful stay and Arend is very friendly and welcoming.

Nothing, our stay was amazing.

The location was serene, offering stunning views from the apartment over the bay. The apartment itself was immaculate, tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The host could have not been more welcoming and attentive, ensuring our trip was seamless. Perfect for a relaxing getaway—highly recommended!

I wanted to mention that there are quite a lot of stairs leading to the property which are quite steep and could be challenging for anyone with mobility issues. While it wasn’t a problem for us, it’s something to keep in mind if accessibility is a concern. Otherwise, the place is fantastic!

Everything was perfect. The host , the view, the location . The apartment was neat and had every appliances and equipment we could need . Thank you 🙏 Arend for a perfect stay

The view was amazing. The accommodation was comfortable, relaxing, simple, yet luxurious. Arend was a lovely host. He made us feel so welcome and at home. Whether we sat on the balcony, in the lounge or outside, the surroundings gave us a sense of peace and tranquility. Definitely a place to return to.

We had such a wonderful time! The apartment is truly beautiful and the view is stunning! Beautifully decorated, very well equipped kitchen, very clean. Felt very safe in the neighborhood.

The view was exceptionally, beautiful view while standing in the dining room area you look straight at the beach view its breath taking the host Mr. Arend welcoming was warm-hearted very nice person and very Helpful. The cottage is hiegenic and everything inside. Defiantly go for a week.

There was nothing to dislike.

The place is gorgeous, well maintained, and well managed. Arend is the kindest host I have been assisted by, and this is likely the best view I have ever had. Immaculate space! Firewood provided was exceptional quality for a braai, with all associated amenities for it.

Wifi connection is unstable (challenging to hold video calls, or any meetings, fine for emails and general work).

This was the best place we have ever stayed! Magnificent house! great location. 10 minutes to Boulders Beach. 15 minutes to Meisenderg beach. There are cafes and shops nearby. Special thanks to Arend for his hospitality and help.

The property was beautifully spacious and very attractively decorated. The views were stunning. The hosts went out of their way to be helpful. Everything, including the beds, was extremely comfortable and thoughtfully provided.

So very clean. Crazy amazing view. The hosts were so helpful and kind! The facilities were all modern. The neighborhood felt very safe. My parents could not stop praising how gorgeous and CLEAN the place is.

No washing machine. WiFi didn’t reach the main bedroom. When it did connect, it was at a very specific spot in the room. If you move from the spot even a little, it disconnects. But it worked fine in the rest of the unit. If you’re allergic to steps, you will not survive the steps there. There are LOTS of steep steps going both up and down in order to get to the unit.

This place is an absolute gem. Arend is the best host! We felt very welcome and at home. The views from the apartment are amazing, the area is safe and there is lots to explore. My dad and I had a really, really wonderful time here. Highly recommend!

We've stayed in many many 5 star places and this one exceeded all of them. It's by far the most perfect we've ever stayed in. It's incredibly clean, logically designed and such a great space. The views are immaculate and have everything you need. It's quiet and have a quick access gate to go to the beach and a tidal pool close by. The host, Arend is such a kind and incredibly thoughtful host. He went out of his way to make sure we have what we need. When we come back to Cape Town we will definitely return.

There's nothing we can complain about.

The views and the apartment we're amazing! Couldn't stop looking at the views! Absolutely loved it all. Arend was incredibly helpful and a star

Because we didn't do any cooking or eating on the premises we would have loved a washing machine instead of a dish washer but that was just us!

Everything

The Wind sadly we had lots of it

From the moment we were welcomed by Arend, the most wonderful host, to the time we left, everything about our stay was perfect. The house is in immaculate condition, every tiny detail or amenity you'd need has been considered, the views are exceptional, the braai and outdoor area is perfect for relaxing in, and I would happily return for a longer stay. Thank you Arend and Anita for creating a beautiful space where people can feel right at home.

Nothing to dislike, this is a beautiful home and we felt very welcomed.

Breathtaking and awesome are two of the many adjectives that may describe this extraordinary place and the lovely couple that shares it with lucky guests as us. Arend is an ever helpful, enjoyable and knowledgeable host who cares wholeheartedly for every detail. The appartment is pure delight. The only challenge is getting out of it as there are so many cozy corners that you just want to hang on and on. Thanks for giving us the chance of being there

Very friendly and welcoming hosts. Very comfortable, convenient and clean apartment. Beautiful view of the ocean.

Lots of steps makes this apartment not suitable for anybody with mobility issues.

Absolutely amazing! Amazing views, beautiful property, spotlessly clean and everything thought of for a self catering cottage. The hosts were lovely, very friendly and very helpful. Couldn’t have asked for more.

Nothing!

The best place by far among 7 others, where we stayed at during our 3-week vacation in South Africa. It is so much better that on the pictures! I don't know how the host keeps this place so new and so clean. All furniture and equipment (fridge, bathrooms) were in perfect condition, the house was exceptionally clean (me and my wife were jealous because we couldn't reach this level of tidiness in our own house). Priceless views from the main bedroom and the living room. Beautiful garden with a green lawn area to play with kids outside and a fireplace+covered terrace for BBQs in evenings. A friendly and a helpful host that will accept and keep your luggage before check-in hours and help bring your luggage inside and outside). Proximity to the coastline (2-3 min walk).

1. We missed a washing machine in this house. 2. Please be ready to climb some stairs. To get inside you'll have to walk down roughly 40 stairs and then walk up ~20 stairs.

18 steps is an extremely well-appointed apartment with amazing views in a great location. It is also possibly the cleanest holiday rental you are likely to find in the greater Cape area. The hosts, Arend and Anita were exceptionally gracious and accommodating.

Nothing.

The accommodation is just perfect. Super nice views and everything super clean and looking brand new. Also much space and very well furnished and beautiful kitchen and living room. The best are the hosts, Arend and Anita are super friendly people. Hope to meet you again one day in Germany! I would have loved to stay longer if I could!

Nothing, everything was perfect

Our most memorable stay in the Western Cape! Arend and Anita have gone above and beyond to create a home away from home for their guests. The apartment was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with the very best appliances. Add the jaw-dropping sea views and warm, friendly, and charming hosts to the mix, and you have guests who never want to leave. We loved our stay so much that during our stay, we booked our 2024 stay.

Beautiful, very clean, great location, quiet.

Glorious view, exceptionally well kept and clean apartment with great outside entertainment area. Within walking distance to the beach. Arend is an amazing welcoming host for this beautiful space.

Wonderful place in a great location, perfect and very friendly host. The view across False Bay is breathtaking, wish to come back.

Everything was perfect. Many thanks to our great hosts Arend and Anita.

Nothing

Everything. Accommodation was clean, well situated, private and quiet. The host was also very friendly and welcoming.

The fact that we couldn't stay longer!

Magnificent views, excellent location and spotlessly clean, highly recommended 👌

We absolutely loved this place - the apartment is really comfy and has been furnished with great care and attention to detail, it really felt like a home away from home.

Nothing
