Guest Reviews

• giorgos (10/5): Perfect stay in the best area of Cape Town - The view from the balcony is unbeatable, and the location is convenient - by the ocean and a 10-minute drive to downtown Cape Town. The apartment was fully equipped with all the necessary amenities and was spotlessly clean. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Honestly, I don’t have any major negative comments. If I had to mention something, it would be that one of the two bathrooms was a bit small especially when it comes to entering the shower (the other bathroom was very spacious), and the shower only had a fixed wall-mounted head, without a handheld option, which is not that practical. Also, it’s worth noting that you need to climb some stairs to access the apartment, which can be a bit challenging if you have heavy luggage.
• SHUQING (10/5): 很方便，就在海边。 -
• Glen (3/5): Terrible, will definitely not stay there again! - When we arrived the housekeeper was still onsite. The host who promised to meet for a handover arrived hours later and spent about 15s with us. Uncomfortable beds, uncomfortable furniture other than the couch, the beds were terrible, the balcony furniture was terrible, the parking situation was terrible!

• Gagela (8/5): Amazing - The view was amazing More bath towels please
• badr (10/5): جميلة جداً - الموقع و المرافق المدخل على الشارع يغلق في وقت مبكر مما يضطرني للإلتفاف لمدخل المنزل
• Lucie (10/5): - Magnifique vue, emplacement parfait.
• Gerson (10/5): -
• Amnah (9/5): Superb - Everything Nothing
• Francesca (8/5): Perfect location for watching the amazing sunsets! - Location
• Daleen (9/5): Superb - Absolutely perfect stay! The accommodation boasts a stunning sea view, is in a prime location close to all amenities, and comes fully equipped with everything you need. Highly recommended!
• Zoe (10/5): Exceptional -
• Darren (6/5): Despite these issues, it was still a nice apartment overlooking Camps Bay. - Great location. Apartment itself is of a very good standard with good amenities. Blocked drain causing sewerage smell was very unpleasant until being fixed and water pressure in showers was very poor.
• Andrew (8/5): Very good - Lovely view + location N/A
• Tatiana (10/5): The view is amazing Check-in was smooth and easy. Great hospitality, we even were given a bottle of wine as a compliment -
• Carolina (8/5): Overall, a comfortable stay with stunning views, but some minor issues affected the experience. - Very good and comfortable apartment with an incredible view of Camps Bay – perfect for enjoying stunning sunsets. The staff is very friendly and helpful. An additional positive aspect is the convenience of having both a washing machine and a dryer. One night, we found a cockroach in the living room/kitchen area. Additionally, one of the bedrooms lacked blackout curtains, resulting in a lot of light entering the room very early (around 5am). In the same bedroom, the power outlets near the bed did not work, requiring us to charge our phones in the bathroom. Furthermore, the shower pressure was quite low.
• Ziad (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jenna (2/5): see above - parking was a disaster literally zero space Advertised as 3 bedrooms, yet facility only has 2 and my Son had to sleep on the couch parking was always full
• Zak (8/5): Very good -
• Harold (10/5): Enjoyed the warmth of the staff. The washer dryer unit was a nice addition. - The management team was very accommodating with items we requested and the housekeeping staff was superb. Location was close to many eateries as well as a grocer was within walking distance. We really enjoyed the time spent here and plan to return N/A
• Melissa (10/5): Great location & accomodation for all your travel needs. - Fully equipped property, all amenities are well maintained and very clean. The view is amazing. Staff are very hospitable with great service. Only 2 turnings (1 junction) away from Victoria Road (the road along the beach). It was quite hard to spot upon arrival, as the signage was not at the roadside.
• Esthie (10/5): Great - We had to walk around in the street asking where the property was. We also did not have a dedicated parking space and had to stop in the street a block away that was concerning....
• Alison (8/5): Close to Camps Bay beach and shops with amazing sunset views! - Great location, a short walk to Camps Bay restaurants and shops. Amazing view from the living room and balcony. Both bedrooms had en suite bathrooms. Difficult location to find, the address given to me did not match any building numbers or signage at the driveway entrance, so we had trouble finding the place. Nox should mention the apartment is in the same complex as Primi Seacastle Hotel. Door code provided did not work, the host met us and gave us another code to use. Nox also requires an additional non-refundable deposit before your stay. Some wear and tear to the bathrooms and toilets, balcony, washing machine and dryer, refrigerator. One of the safes did not work, and the other was placed too high in the wardrobe.
• Lauren (10/5): Lovely location and value for money - Position and view were incredible Position and view
• Claas (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (7/5): The views matched the price we paid but not much else did - Stunning views Threadbare towels and pillowcase. No corkscrew supplied. Cheaply furnished.
• Melanie (7/5): Wonderful location but the apartment needs some TLC - This property was in a fantastic location right across from the beach and close to the main hustle and bustle of Camps Bay. My only criticism is that it was ‘tired’ in places with an emphasis on the kitchen and bathrooms. At the price we paid I would expect a higher standard in these areas. Grouting black, trim on shower door - big build up of mould and around the hinges. Needs some deep cleaning or remedial work. Kitchen units a bit grim and a build up of dirt around the hob. Rugs on the floors also need to be washed / cleaned.
• Harshad (9/5): Superb -
• Paul (9/5): Great location with breath taking views - Easy access
• Carmen (7/5): Good - Location was amazing and cleanliness excellent. Views were stunning! The showers were not up to scratch, water pressure and lack of hot water. I had to wash my hear with a jug in basin (boiled kettle of water) as I could not cope washing hear with water temperature and this was first shower in the morning, so no hot water was used before this. We also did a quick load of washing as we thought it easier before travel but ended up with damp clothes as tumble dryer did not dry clothes due to a known problem that was not communicated. Ended up with very smelly luggage.
• Steve (9/5): A very nice apartment in an excellent location. - Excellent location A little difficult to find.
• Ntsizwa (4/5): It was ok but the hospitality can be better - The property is in a great location overlooking the beach The property is not cleaned well, lack of hospitality from the host, Elton was not welcoming at all, was never available to answer any of our queries, stays far away from the property we had to wait for a long time for assistance.
• Angela (10/5): Exceptional - Well...where do I start! What a truly, truly, amazing stay. Everything was perfect, it was really a home from home. Fab views, lovely and responsive staff, so safe, walking distance from shops and restaurants, just lovely. We had everything we needed to feel comfortable including heated blankets and an array of liquor. Loadshedding backup provided so we were never in the dark - one time the battery failed and it was sorted quickly. We are planning to be back in summer - we could not enjoy the beach as it was cold, but come summer we plan to indulge! Thank you Modoco - this is what all hosted accommodation should be like. See you soon! The heated blankets in the main bedroom were not working, so please look into that. Did not stop my enjoyment though. I just kicked the kids out of their bedroom and tucked up in their beds, enjoying the divine heat whilst reading and sipping the wonderful coffee provided my the hosts.
• Charle (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rj (6/5): Just Ok - The view is stunning Parking is a mess. No parking available
• Primesh (6/5): Nice location - This place (and cost) is obviously about the location, great sea views and walking distance from the Camps Bay hotspots(restaurants, bars, beaches, shopping.) Read the fine print about the Deposits... This comes after you have paid for your booking. They give you 2 x options R750 non-refundable brekage deposit or R20000 deposit with a full refund less about R350. Having had issues with Bookings.com refunds,and not knowing who Nox rentals was , I opted for the R750 deposit so that I dont have to worry about following up for refunds. I understand that the spot is probably often used for parties , I can understand the idea of a deposit but be clear upfront before we make a booking. Other than that this accomodation looks far nicer and bigger in the pics than it actually is. Having said that, it has all required amenities, but I would have had to walk out with the Tv and a lot of other items before I could cost the establishment R20k in damages... Something didnt feel right with that picture. I chose the place because of the pics and the location but I could have booked into the President hotel not far away for the same cost and incl bfast.
• Edwin (10/5): Exceptional - 5 stars for cleanliness, decor, comfort, and attention to detail. it is a home away from home. the view....My Goodness!! felt like i was literally living on an island in the sea. N/a
• Anonymous (9/5): Excellent - The best location. Very well designed and cozy feeling Best sunset from apartment, no need to go on beach , enjoyed from balcony. Everyday maid were there clean up our mess and even finished laundry and folded clothes. Entry location . Coming to apartment narrow street, driver has to park little far and with bags climb stairs. Once u in u are good. So not good for handicapped or seniors.
• Sabrina (10/5): Exceptional - This was a beautiful stay! The view was amazing... especially at sunset! And it's just 5 minutes walk to some great restaurants
• Mabaso (6/5): Pleasant - the location was everything when we arrived there was a smell. we told Elton to look at it. In the middle of the night we were going through the bedroom to check where the smell was coming from, we thought it was a rat or something. we noticed it up was a wet carpet. we had to pull it out of the bedroom.
• Nokubonga (10/5): Exceptional -
• Paul (10/5): Amazing views and location! - Amazing location and beautiful apartment! Very modern and airy ! Super clean and walking distance to everything. Nox management went above and beyond to make sure everything was top. thanks again!
• Hein (7/5): Was good 3 day stay but somewhat sub par for price. You pay for location. - Location and view Load shedding proof ! Difficult to find Modoco - no directions or apartment number visible. Mouse in apartment - pest control was sent and dead mouse found next day. Housekeeper did not really do anything other than charging cell phone in the apartment - garbage was always removed
• Anna (8/5): Very good - The staff was very friendly. Great location where one feels safe to move around to go to the beach, restaurants or supermarket by foot but also very touristy. Best sunset accommodation ever seen.
• Jackie (10/5): Exceptional -
• John-paul (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jay (10/5): Exceptional -
• Dennis (10/5): Exceptional - Super location close to beach and downtown. Walkable to all.
• Igor (10/5): Amazing place to enjoy the ocean view - AMAZING view from the terrace. you literally feel like you are on the beach. ocean sound and sunsets were fantastic
• Amanda (7/5): Great location - be very careful with T&Cs - The location and view are second to none. Some nice touches including a small shot of some hard liquors and a handful of coffee pods. Washing machine and dryer were terrific. I took umbrage at them charging me £10 to take a £500 deposit, after spending £1,500 for the weeks accommodation. It’s just blatant theft. I also read the terms and conditions which they sent on check in and it included things like “if you don’t take photos of the place and upload them to the website (which website is unclear) you will be charged for all damage they find” and “they will charge you for the cost of any damage at their discretion (meaning without a quote)”. The apartment is nice but it isn’t a luxury flat by any stretch. The lounge room floor rug has never been cleaned (or vacuumed) since it was installed (try sitting on it and you’ll see). There’s black mould in both bathrooms. The kitchen cupboards are swollen from moisture. The lounge room air con hasn’t worked for some time. I refused to accepted the terms and I refused to pay the £10.
• Dorota (10/5): Perfect place for Cape Town visit - We loved absolutely everything about this place - the view was breathtaking, the location was very convenient and safe, the place itself was very clean, modern and had everything you needed. It was a great surprise to see the beds were made when we came back in the evening- so they provide daily cleaning services too! I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town.
• Lynn (9/5): Superb -
• Lisa (9/5): great stay everything is as the pictures - clean close to the beach the aircon in the lounge didn’t work n it wS a bit cold
• Juliette (9/5): Superb - Amazing location on camps bay Beach! The accommodation is very cosy and there is a really good atmosphere. Nothing
• Abigail (8/5): comfortable apartment in top class location but with some hiccups. - Great location with lovely views over camps bay. Nicely furnished and very comfortable. Friendly welcome from Elton. Parking awkward and limited availability on a first- come only basis. R700 non refundable fee for indemnity against damage or R200 non refundable fee plus deposit taken two weeks before visit. renovations in adjacent apartment underway until late at night despite promise from agents these would be completed well before our visit. daily servicing of apartment appreciated other than one day without warning or explanation.
