South Africa’s premier

carbon-neutral short-term rentals

A Sustainable Stay offers you a new way to explore; helping you immerse yourself in local cultures as you enjoy incredible experiences away from home. Our visitors savour every moment with a carbon neutral footprint — leaving only contentment and fond memories behind them.

A Sustainable Stay can be a few days, weeks or more. It could be a sunny month in Cape Town during winter in the Northern Hemisphere, or just a NOMO (Night On My Own) escape for cherished ‘me time’.

We have a growing portfolio of distinctive apartments, each one as unique as you. Some offer rooftop pools near sandy beaches, or spectacular views from city skyscrapers, while others are tranquil retreats in leafy suburbs.

Had a great stay over a long weekend. Host met us to help check in which was really nice & thoughtful. They accommodated an early check-in with ease. The place was clean & functional. Great restaurants close by, and nice beaches nearby as well.

Had a great stay in a comfortable well appointed apartment with amazing views of Lions Head. Great central location and walking distance to the promenade. Will come again.

Very, very happy with my stay. Terrence is an amazing host and extremely responsive and even assisted in helping me get my glasses back after I had forgotten them. The location is great, the room has everything you need. I was greeted at the location and taken through all the amenities in the apartment. I will definitely be using Sustainable Stays again.

We had an incredible experience staying at the SustainableStays apartment in Cape Town. The warm hospitality made us feel right at home. The apartment was a true oasis, decorated in a modern, sustainable style. It was well-equipped, allowing me to prepare healthy meals, and the stunning balcony view provided a perfect spot to unwind. The location was ideal, with easy access to attractions like Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront. The area was quiet and safe, adding to my comfort. The hosts were exceptional, offering great tips and recommendations, which enhanced my stay. I highly recommend SustainableStays for a unique and sustainable experience in Cape Town. We will definitely return!

I had a fantastic stay, I was allowed an early check-in and late check-out, and the apartment is spacious, clean and beautiful. The host was very friendly and responded to all enquiries. I would definitely visit again.

Super clean and perfectly located just a few blocks from the Sea Point promenade, which is full of great cafes and restaurants. Terrence was amazing and met us in person to get checked in as well as checked out, and was in touch the entire time making sure that we enjoyed our stay. We felt very taken care of!

Very well-equipped apartment. Lovely welcome hamper on arrival. Very responsive, professional and friendly hosts. Will definitely stay there again on future visits.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay, the personal service and apartment decor were exceptional. Thoughtful details, like olive oil in the kitchen and a cosy extra blanket neatly folded in a basket, made all the difference. I slept like a baby. These hosts have it all figured out when it comes to hospitality.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The apartment was very clean, beautiful and we felt safe at all times. The team from sustainable stays was very friendly, responded to our messages immediately and made sure we had everything we needed. Even though we stayed there in winter, the apartment was warm at all times. We will definitely book again and would highly recommend staying there!!

The property was exactly as described on the website — spotlessly clean with a beautiful kitchen. The team was always responsive to any questions. I would definitely return and stay here again; it’s a fantastic place to be.

My stay was fantastic! The location was perfect, close to all the main attractions yet in a quiet neighbourhood. The host was incredibly friendly and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. I would highly recommend staying here to anyone visiting the area!
