I didn't expect the living area to be so big! Jacuzzi with a view of the stars definitely 5+ Thank u!

Ballygale 547 - Family Beach Retreat
We had such a memorable stay in Scarborough with Sebastian at Ballygate. We all felt the house had a welcoming and family-friendly energy. It felt like the house was filled with many family memories as it certainly will live in our memories forever. The place was perfectly situated with endless views of the mountains and rural areas of Scarborough, yet a quick walk to the beach. We spent every morning sipping coffee watching sunrise from the patio, walking the length of the beach, exploring the Cape and then catching sunset back at Scarborough. Sebastian was always immediate with everything we asked. He was friendly and helpful and his instructions couldn't be more clear. The house has everything you need and it was cozy and comfortable for everybody.I have nothing horrible to say about Ballygate. we will most definitely make the 30 hour flight again just to stay here with Sebastian.

Mussel Inn
Very nice stay, thanks a lot !

Orchard House - Winter Getaway @ Jackal River Farm
We had a wonderful stay at Orchard cottage on Jackal River Farm. The cottage was beautifully appointed with elegant touches throughout. Beds were very comfortable and loved the outdoor spaces with thr hottub, plunge pool and firepit. I would thoroughly recommended staying at the cottage.

Stellenbosch Farm Cottage with Mountain Views
This is a lovely cottage with a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic mountain views. There were a couple of snags during our stay, but the hosts were quick to respond to any needs

Rondeberg Farms
This place is nothing short of stunning. Only an hour away from Cape Town, yet a world of it own. Wish we could have stayed a week. With Darling, Yzerfontein and the National Park with Geelbek flamingos and Church haven on the lagoon all in very easy reach. You simply do not want to leave. Wes Kus is die Bes Kus

The Garden Cottage 1
What a stunning airbnb. Everything is pristine, designed beautifully, and thoughtful. The garden is so relaxing to sit in and the outdoor patio by the braai is also lovely for nighttime dinners. My husband and I absolutely loved this place and plan to return in the future. It was so peaceful and lovely. The large bath tub and equipped kitchen were also highlights. It is located on the vineyards of a few wine farms and so it was great to walk to Stellenbosch Reserve for a tasting & dinner and also nice to walk along the vines. It felt very peaceful and relaxing.

SAGE cottage | Bloubergstrand | Cape Town
Great place for a romantic getaway or to base yourself to explore Blouberg. The kitchen is well stocked for a longterm stay and the hosts are uber responsive and go the extra mile to make your stay special. I own a travel agency and have been to 66 countries…I wish every rental owner would take cues from these hosts. I cannot recommend this place enough. No need to keep searching…you’ve found your place and won’t be disappointed!

The Lookout at Froggy Farm
A Perfect Getaway with Stunning Views! We had an amazing stay at The Look Out in Simon’s Town! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking views of the ocean and the peaceful atmosphere. The accommodation had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. One of the highlights of our trip was kayaking in the bay, which was an unforgettable experience. Being so close to the water and nature made it even more special. The location is perfect—quiet and relaxing, yet close enough to explore the charming town ir go for a quick dip. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed. If you're looking for a serene escape with incredible scenery and adventure at your doorstep, The Look Out is the perfect place. We’ll definitely be back!

Heart of Kloof Street Living - the Secret Spot
can't recommend more highly. Great place, great location.

Off grid cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage a lot. It's a lovely cottage with a nice outside area. The cottage is well equipped and very stylish. In the outside area you find 2 sunbeds and we enjoyed a little swim in the pool. Nikki and her husband are very friendly and helpful. The cottage is located in a quiet and safe area and Noordhoek is actually perfect to explore the areas of Cape Town. Noordhoek has a beautiful long white sandy beach, the sunsets are amazing. There are 2 double rooms with their own bathroom. We would love to come back the next time.

Kim's Cottage, Jonkershoek Valley

Vine View Cottage Constantia - beautiful views
Hidden in the heart of Constantia, Cape Town, the Vine View Cottage felt like a sanctuary to us. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped by rolling vineyards and the tranquil sounds of nature. The serenity of the surroundings, accompanied by the symphony of birdsong, made us feel instantly at peace. One of the most unforgettable moments was waking up to an early morning breeze carrying the fresh, invigorating scent of fynbos. It was as if the world had slowed just for us, offering a quiet invitation to breathe and be present. Looking out toward the iconic Table Mountain, we were captivated by the sheer beauty of the landscape. Every experience here brought a sense of renewal—whether it was wandering along scenic trails or simply soaking in the quiet ambiance. This wasn’t just a place to stay; it became a space where we reconnected with nature and left feeling refreshed, lighter, and rejuvenated. Hoping to visit again soon! Thank you Jamie & Allison.

Thirty three Strawberry Lane Cottage
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful stay at Jenny’s. The cottage is a little slice of heaven - beautifully furnished with meticulous attention to detail. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and the view of lush greenery as the morning sunlight streamed. Jenny was the perfect host and made us feel right at home. We already miss her highly addictive weekly cinnamon buns :-) Thank you so much Jenny for being so wonderful and the best holiday, we can’t wait to be back!

Charming Cottage with Pool in Central Constantia
We spent 12 nights at Anne's place in Constantia and it was a fabulous base for our family of four. Two boys, aged 9 & 11, loved the backyard, pool, trampoline, and swings. They were interested in the chickens and geese - one of the chickens even hatched a chick while we were there. The hosting is second-to-none here, a friendly welcome, good recommendations, and a kind chat whenever we crossed paths. From Constantia you have easy access to the City, and False Bay beaches. This is a convenient location, with the added benefit of security and a peaceful setting.

Two-bedroom cottage with private pool andwow view
The perfect place to stay in Fish Hoek! Linda was a fantastic host, quick to respond and very attentive. The cottage is very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Awesome views and the funicular makes going up and down from the street a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

‘Tranquillia’ Garden Cottage in Bergvliet
Our stay at Grant's place was perfect. Needed a spot nearby the start of the Two Oceans and this was perfect. Place was just what we needed. Grant is a great host and extremely accommodating. Will definitely stay here again and highly recommend Grant's place.

La Chataigne Wine Farm - Marron Cottage
