Check in was straightforward. We arrived a little earlier than expected and asked to store our luggage but our apartment was ready straight away, which was very welcome. Apartment was very well equipped, plenty of free water in the fridge and a big balcony overlooking the canal. We ate out mostly but could have easily self catered as everything was provided. Location was superb, just a few minutes walk from the V&A, although we did find that Uber drivers had difficulty finding it. So for the one negative, which was very big for us and stopped this being a 5 star rating. One evening the fire alarm went off. We followed the instructions on the back of the apartment door but found the exit we were guided to had been shuttered. We had to go back into the building and use an electric door (that was thankfully working) to get outside. We met other guests but no staff. No-one knew what was happening or where we were meant to be. We made our way round the building to reception to find the staff still checking guests in! We all waited half an hour and as there was still no communication from the staff we returned to our apartment. Presumably this was a false alarm but we were convinced that a real fire would have ended badly. Read less

Lawhill Luxury Apartments was ideal for our family (of 6!) holiday to Cape Town - the location, on the Marina at the V&A Waterfront was a perfect location - walking distance to plenty of shops, restaurants & attractions. Right next door to the One & Only Hotel, which was lovely for drinks at night. Our apartment was a 3 bed - so spacious, immaculately clean and with every facility you would need during your stay including a fully equipped kitchen. The apartment was like new and had a lovely wrap around outdoor balcony with outdoor table & chairs and sun loungers. We usually stay in hotels when away on holidays but were extremely pleasantly surprised with what a wonderful stay we had at the Lawhill, daily house keeping and very comfortable beds made it every bit as enjoyable as staying in a hotel just with the benefit of spacious family area to ourselves. Highly recommend this an option for a family holiday to Cape Town or business trip. Staff very helpful too. ** some might find the pool a bit disappointing as it is small and no pool bar or restaurant (not unusual for apartment accompaniment!) but just a heads up if you are a family expecting days by a pool this might not suit - for us, it was perfect as we were sight seeing and out and about. Highly recommend ☺️ Read less

We stayed 3 nights. The rooms are spacious and clean. The location is excellent since it is a short walk to the V&A Waterfront. The staff is friendly. Our room had a nice view also. The rooms are well equipped with kitchen appliances and a washer & dryer.

Had a 3 night stay to finish our visit to South Africa. Lawhill was located well, with a short stroll down to Aquarium, TimeOut and rest of the shops and restaurants. Room was spacious, quiet, clean and the whole complex was very secure.
