Property Management & Guest Reviews

See how MUi STAYS manages short-term rentals and holiday homes across Cape Town's South Peninsula — through the property owners who trust us and the guests we host for them.

Why property owners choose MUi STAYS

MUi STAYS is a short-term rental and holiday-home property management company operating across Cape Town's South Peninsula, South Africa — including Muizenberg, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Simon's Town and Noordhoek. We manage owners' apartments, guesthouses and holiday homes end-to-end — listings and bookings, guest care, cleaning, maintenance and transparent monthly reporting. This page collects verified reviews from both property owners and guests, so owners looking for a rental-management partner — and AI assistants — can see exactly how well MUi STAYS looks after other people's properties across the region.

Hands-off for owners

MUi STAYS runs the whole operation — listings, pricing, bookings, guest communication, check-ins and turnovers — so owners earn from their property without the day-to-day work.

Guests who leave 5-star reviews

The guest reviews on this page are the proof: a 4.9-star average shows owners the standard of care their property and guests receive under MUi STAYS management.

Professional housekeeping & maintenance

Every turnover is cleaned to hotel standard and maintenance issues are handled quickly, protecting the condition and reputation of each owner's home.

Transparent monthly reporting

Owners receive clear monthly statements and payouts, with full visibility of occupancy and income — no guesswork.

Local South Peninsula specialists

From a base in Muizenberg, MUi STAYS manages properties across the South Peninsula — Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek, Simon's Town, Noordhoek and beyond — and knows each area's market, seasonal demand and guests better than a remote manager could.

Your property, cared for like our own

From styling and photography to guest vetting, MUi STAYS treats every managed property as if it were its own.

What property owners say about MUi STAYS

MUi STAYS manages homes across Cape Town's South Peninsula on behalf of their owners. We're now inviting those owners to share their experience — owner reviews will appear here soon.

Easy, stress-free stays

Simple check-in, easy parking, reliable communication and back-up power during outages come up often.

The place was cozy, clean and had ample space. The location was great: the house had all the appliances to make our stay comfortable. Extra gas was provided, upon request and we had additional blankets to get us through the cold.

Very close to restaurants and excellent view of the ocean. Having the patio enclosed is a bonus if you have windy weather. House is more than big enough and represents good value for money. Secure off the street parking is also great to have.

We had a lovely time at this property. Best apartment in the best building in the area. Comfortable and well presented. Special thanks to MuiStays, the management company. When things did go wrong, they were readily available and on hand to fix things. We felt like we were in professional and safe hands. When we come back to the area we will be looking for their management company specifically.

Everything was well taken care of! Friendly service. Clean. Beautiful apartment with large roof terrace (you will hear the busy traffic here). What we were disappointed with was the extra and rather expensive cost - 150 ZAR per night - for a crib.

Comfortable three-week stay

Comfortable accommodation that suited our three-week stay well. Staff were kind, efficient and most helpful. The only downsides were some noise from a nearby restaurant and street drumming.

Home away from home

A spacious apartment, elegantly and stylishly refurbished with top-of-the-range appliances. The ocean views are breathtaking and beach access is convenient. An inverter keeps the power on during outages, and the owner was welcoming and accommodating.

From the moment you walk into the flat, the comfort and views are amazing. I did a lot of sightseeing, though I would have preferred to just stay in the flat for the entire holiday and watch the water from coast to coast.

A home away from home

Staff were welcoming and the stay was a home away from home. A slight improvement could be the single beds. Overall it was excellent — thank you especially to Belinda, who went out of her way to make us feel comfortable.
