Can anyone please give me some good websites for booking a weeks self catering accommodation in Cape Town for February 2008.

Hello Rosieuk,

I suggest you look at De Waterkant Cottages in the De Waterkant area

http://www.thevillagelodge.com/content/cottages.asp


These are fantastic self catering cottages at excellent rates. Very quaint, fabulously furnished with huge, huge, huge amounts of space. The cottages are also extremely well maintained. The cottages are right in the middle of where it is all happening near the city centre (10 minute walk away) as well the Waterfront. (20 minute walk away). The cottages are also close to many great little coffee houses, a wonderful deli called Andiamo ( http://www.eatout.co.za/EatOut/Eat_R...8,1686,00.html ) as well as interesting restaurants like:

Africa Cafe, ( http://www.africacafe.co.za )

Tank ( http://www.eatout.co.za/EatOut/Eat_R...8,1562,00.html )

Pigale ( http://www.eatout.co.za/EatOut/Eat_R...8,1732,00.html)

Ginja.( http://www.eatout.co.za/EatOut/Eat_R...8,1327,00.html )

At the coffee houses you can have your morning breakfast seeing that these venues are self catering places of stay and do not include breakfast.

Hope this helps

We used Nox rentals staying in Camps bay area

http://www.noxrentals.co.za/

We were a bit worried about booking somewhere from a firm we had found on internet but everything went very smoothly indeed. All communications straightforward and we were greeted by charming agent. The apartment was exctly as described and we had a great time.

try some of these:

www.wheretostay.co.za - not an agency - you book direct with the agents

www.capevillas.com

www.capevillacollection.com

www.capetownvillas.co.uk

friends of ours have used the last one - a Cape Town company but they have a uk web site address
I have used the others to find places for friends coming here and also for when we go away as a family for a weekend

hope this is of help

Rosieuk,

I agree with Schoj that Nox Rentals are also a great source for self catering acommodation especially the Penthouse or the Suite at Camps Bay Terrace.

try vrbo - vacation rentals by owner: http://www.vrbo.com/vacation-rentals/africa. I have used them for a rental in Paris, and it went very well. This is owner to owner so YMMV. There is a lot of info on vrbo on the Europe forum, and also Slow Travel, slowtravel.com
