64 guests' feedbackVery nice, auction convenient and very well equipped.
Certainly one of the cleanest and best equipped places we have ever stayed. Additionally, the owner left his car outside to park mine in the garage when 'off street' parking was full.
Very nice stay. "Feels like home". Nice view, spacious and everything was just enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Nice view near the sea! Place is neat, there is everything one needs! Host excellent service! Unfortunately I can't say anything bad, everything was 100%.
Beautiful place with a nice view. Excellently equipped with everything you need, even an extra TV in the room. The bottle of wine was a delicious treat. We will definitely stay here again. Well done in an awesome place.
What an amazing experience! And what a view! The apartment is equipped with everything necessary. Highly recommended!
Very good accommodation. Scenery was amazing. Short walk to the beach. Although I missed the "something cold" in the fridge that was stipulated on the information brochure.
Very pleasant, friendly and helpful hostess and host.
We had a great stay at C'est La Vie Self Catering Apartment. The unit is spacious with the most beautiful sea view from almost every living area. The host and hostess were available for requests we had. The unit has everything one needs and is close to shops, restaurants as well as Cape Town, etc. It is a quiet area and private if one wants to switch off. Table Mountain can be seen from the beach near the house and also has the most beautiful sunsets over the sea.
We had been provided with wood and blitz to braai, as well as complimentary wine. The living area was wonderful, especially with a cool breeze flowing through. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking, and there were enough plates, cutlery, and glasses.
Absolutely unbeatable!
Beautiful place. Has everything we needed. The host made contact with us before arrival to arrange for entry, etc. The area is quiet and on a MyCity bus route. The area seems very safe to me; the vehicles are parked on the street, but we were never concerned about problems. I will surely stay over next time when we need accommodation in the Cape Town surrounding.
Absolutely amazing. The inside is so well decorated and it gives such a beach vibe. Exactly what I was looking for. The experience was hassle-free, and I would definitely visit again.
We stayed at C'est La Vie again this year for our anniversary. Yet again, the apartment is clean, warm, and welcoming with an amazing view — even with all the rain. Plus, we actually got engaged on Sunday the 9th of July while in Melkbosstrand, so now it is even more of a special occasion to visit again!
Very neat, friendly hosts and beautiful view.
Excellent location. Very close to the beach. Everything you need is available in the unit. Indoor and outdoor grilling. Would highly recommend this unit.
Very nice view, clean, tidy and well furnished. Everything that is needed. Wonderful hospitality!
Friendly and helpful host and wife. Very pleasant stay! Safe environment but street parking a bit uncomfortable.
We had a nice stay. The indoor barbecue is very nice and the stoep with the nice sunbed in the evenings is a winner for sure.
It was fantastic, will be visiting again soon. Totally enjoyed my stay and I highly recommend this apartment.
Everything was good.
Great location and walking distance to a beautiful, peaceful beach. The residential unit has everything, even wood for the first night's barbecue. The bed is super soft - could sleep for days. Definitely value for money.
The location is good. The beach is within walking distance. You can see the beach from anywhere from the residence. I will definitely go again. The driver's service is excellent, you get immediate feedback on any queries. My teenagers were certainly impressed with the view.
Ideally located, very warm welcome and a very well organised environment and provide all the necessary. I highly recommend C'est La Vie Self Catering Apartment! I had an absolute wonderful relaxing time!
My boyfriend and I had so much fun staying at C'est La Vie for the weekend. It was our anniversary weekend, which made the complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates an extra special surprise. Our favourite parts were the beautiful views, indoor braai area, and how close the apartment is to the beach. We would love to visit again!
Wonderful reception! So hospitable, beautiful sea view from balcony, apartment everything one needs and more! Peaceful environment! Can really recommend!
We had a great time. Neat, beautiful, peaceful and Jacques was very friendly and helpful.
Very neat and equipped unit with everything you need. Friendly service from the owners. Beautiful sea view from the porch and walking distance to the beach.
Safest and quietest area ever! Owner was very friendly and place beautifully furnished.
Thank you - this was the second time we have stayed here and once again enjoyed it very much. The unit is well equipped with a nice veranda with a view.
As with our previous getaway, everything was top notch. Thank you Gerda and Jacques, neatly done.
The unit is so well furnished, neat and clean with the most beautiful view of the sea. The area/neighborhood is quiet, clean and safe. We really enjoyed the short break. Thank you for your hospitality Jacques/Gerda.
My husband and I and our 6-month-old baby had a great stay. The views are beautiful and the places are very neat and well furnished. Will definitely stay here again.
Thank you for the hospitality, kindness and consideration. We will definitely see you again. Apartment equipped with everything you can think of.
Comfortable stay with everything needed.
We really enjoyed the view on the sea! The walk on Melkbos beach is unbeatable.
Friendly and helpful hosts with a welcome cremation in the fridge on arrival! Very neat place, comfortable and well appointed and it was welcome to have a sea view while the beaches were closed.
Would recommend anytime. 11 out of 10 for C'est La Vie Jacques and Gerda made us feel very much at home in a beautiful, fully equipped unit. There was even something cold waiting in the fridge upon our arrival. Thank you very much for a fantastic time in Melkbos.
The reception was very friendly and the facilities are comfortable and tidy, thank you!
Would absolutely recommend and will be staying there again myself. Als was perfect. From accommodation to location and even hosting. Thank you very much.
Really enjoyed my time with you. The apartment is very nice and neatly put together. The view is special.
We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 week stay. Jacques and Gerda were friendly and welcoming and attended to every little need. The apartment is upstairs so enjoys lovely views and is beautifully decorated to give the holiday relaxed feeling. We definitely will stay there again when we visit Cape Town.
We had a great time at C'est La Vie Self Catering Apartments, beautiful view! Clean, neat and crisp linen. We were spoiled with sparkling wine in the fridge and chocolates on the bed!
Stunning, quaint and very cozy! I recommend this ocean getaway to everyone. Wonderful owners that make you feel at home. Beautiful sea view. We will see you again.
My husband and I had such a peaceful stay here. It's right by the beach and located in a quiet area. The hospitality we received from Jacques was also lovely.
Very comfortable and well appointed. The only suggestion is that maybe they should consider putting a comfortable couch in the braai room, because the current couches are nice but not comfortable to sit on and watch TV for a long time. We just watched TV in the room on the bed. Nice quiet and nice view of the sea.
My partner and I spent 2 nights at C'est LA Vie, we had an amazing relaxing weekend. The accommodation was perfect and had everything we needed, will definitely recommend to family and friends.
From day one with our arrival Jacques went out of his way to make our stay a pleasant one. The wine in the fridge was a treat. Experienced the best sunsets in Cape Town. Will definitely visit this place again and strongly recommend it.
It is a beautiful, neat apartment with everything you need. The owners are very hospitable and helpful, even left us a cold wine in the fridge on our arrival. Beautiful sea view. We would recommend it to any guests.
Apartment is comfortable and very nice. Everything you need for a nice holiday.
Jacques and Gerda are very receptive hosts who make you feel right at home. Wine in the fridge, wood, salt and pepper and bottle of oil in the cupboard. Library full of books that I would like to read. Feels like my own beach house.
We were kindly received by the host and his wife. The self-catering unit is tastefully and well furnished with everything you need, and more. We were welcomed with a bottle of red wine, beer in the fridge, and chocolates. The bed, linen and towels were of good quality. We had a very nice stay. The 21 stairs up to the apartment is a negative point, with no light on the stairs in the evening. Otherwise we were very satisfied.
We had a very nice stay. Was very well equipped with everything you will need. All that is missing is parking under shade.
The place is clean and tidy Friendly people! Nice view if you are willing to ignore the houses in front of you.
Neat little place with the most breathtaking sunsets.
The place is really value for money, you are very private and far from the city's hustle and bustle, yet close to convenient routes. The accommodation is excellent, and of high quality. I will definitely use again. Melkbos is a lovely walking beach, with the nicest places to eat and the most beautiful sunsets. Friendliest people and dogs! The bonus here is - it's the safest town in SA and truly I've tried everything; from Thai massage to public transport with no problems. 5 star! Well done, you guys.
Owners are very friendly. Place was nice clean and tidy and one immediately felt welcome as it was furnished as if it was your own home. We had a great rest and the beach is walking distance which is a big bonus.
Will definitely stay there again.
The accommodation was very comfortable - the apartment is in excellent condition, tidy and very clean. It is perfectly furnished with everything one could possibly need on vacation! We were pleasantly surprised by the beach view, and Table Mountain peeking out at you when you cook in the morning. And the sunset from that porch is something to experience! The owner was very helpful, and even put a bottle of wine in the fridge for us for our arrival. The apartment has secure parking and is in a very quiet area. It is a short walk from the beach, and from there not too far to the restaurants. The MyCiti bus also stops just outside the house, which makes it very convenient if you want to go to the city or just travel in Melkbos without any worries. We only regret that we only stayed there for two nights, and hope to return again soon!
The owner, Jacques Buitendag, welcomed us very hospitably. We made good use of the indoor grill. Jacques even brought us salt when we realized we hadn't brought it with us. The sunsets over the sea were a treat to enjoy from the spacious balcony. The accommodation offers so much equipment that we didn't even use half of. We come again!
Friendly host and hostess. They made our stay pleasant. I would recommend the stay.
Very pleasant and comfortable.
Lots of space, quiet and tidy.
The apartment is spacious, well located and has a nice balcony from which you can see the sea. The owner is friendly and helpful and the area is safe. Excellent value for money - we would definitely stay there again.
