Purple House Accommodations offers seven self-catering units situated in De Waterkant district, just 2 km from Cape Town City Center. Four units are individual houses and the others are apartments within a three apartment building.

The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay; washer, dryer, dishwasher, television, full kitchen, etc. The bathroom had a wonderful deep bathtub, there’s a front and back terrace and a small swimming pool on the rooftop. The location was perfect, in a cute street less than a twenty minute walk to the V&A waterfront and ten minute walk to the city centre. It seemed pretty safe too and very close to restaurants, cafes and a supermarket. Henk and Guido who manage the property live nearby and were so helpful and friendly. They even organised our airport transfers for us. I’d definitely stay here again.

    The location was great, staff was very friendly. The house was also cosy but could use some more decoration. The living room was spacious but not nicely decorated. The garden chairs where not cleaned and the bedroom cabinet also didn't look very clean. Overal it was a nice stay and we liked the set up of the place.

    A really lovely cottage with the outside space and access to a parking space being real bonuses. Good wifi and all the basics were provided for us. Any problems (issues with lights & blocked shower) were sorted as quickly as they could. There is a continual noise from a local factory/warehouse, which, once you get used to it, is just like white noise and probably cut out other street noise. Beds were very comfortable.

    What a wonderful stay. Although it was a cold winters stay, the apartmrnt was cosy and had a fully working fireplace, heaters and heating air-cons. The summer sun also reached the private terrace and made for cozy coffee mornings. Enough space for the family and we loved the eclectic look. Everything was great from start to finish. We will be back for our next CT trip!
