The location is unbeatable, walking distance to all the amenities and restaurants yet still the apartment and area is very quiet at night. The hosts, Marlize and Andre, were super friendly and went out of their way to give restaurant recommendations, day excursions etc and to make us feel at home. The apartment has all that you need for both a short and longterm stay, with parking right in front of the unit. We had a really lovely stay and would recommend to our family and friends.

A premier apartment in this block with pretty views over the school sports field, bowling green plus distant waterfront and water glimpses. The balcony has sun for most of the day and the sunset is beautiful to watch. So we enjoyed this immensely (in November, so not too hot). The apartment is exactly as the pictures, compact but with excellent use of space. The couch bed was useful for whichever one of us was snoring badly! And the foot stools great for putting your feet up, relaxing and watching TV. Secure parking was very welcome and the location is ideal, a short walk into town and the waterfront.

De View was the perfect place for us to stay for 3 nights. The location was ideal as it was close to town and many of the attractions we wanted to see. The property itself is clean, neat and very comfortable. The hosts thought of everything one might need. The hosts themselves are amazing! They were ready to help and make our stay comfortable. The breakfast and the view is something to rave about. We could have easily stayed longer.
