Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Meerendal Cottage-Affordable Luxury-Pool & Hot Tub
Exceptional Place with exceptional hosts. There is not one thing lacking with this stay, everthing you can think of is there. Such a spacious safe space to relax and enjoy your stay. We stayed with our kids (4 & 1 years old) Hazel and Christo made sure we had everything we needed and more. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone and we will be back for another visit soon. Thank you Hazel and Christo for everything.

Constantia Vista: The View Cottage
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 have stayed at many places in Scarborough - but Ballygale is by far our best! Uninterrupted views, long sunsets, a walk to the beach, star gazing in a lovely warm hot tub. The space is comfortable and well equipped with many thoughtful homely touches. We were even lucky enough to encounter the resident tortoise,Burrito 🐢 Sebastian was lovely to deal with, we can't wait to come back. . thanks again

Mussel Inn
We had an absolutely fantastic stay. The house is beautiful, airy and very well kitted out. The location is incredible and we really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Our only regret is not staying longer. We will definitely be back!

Orchard House - Winter Getaway @ Jackal River Farm
Loved our stay! It can be hard to find somewhere that can accommodate a group of 10, but the cottage was spacious enough for us, and had plenty of communal space to hang out! Great back yard with small pool, wood fire hot tub, and braai area with fire pit, couldn't ask for a better set up to connect with a group of friends over meals or just to hang out. A highlight for me was the fact that the kitchen had large doors that opened directly into the back yard, overlooking a large outdoor dining table, so there was a great natural flow of conversation and food! The hosts were incredibly kind and understanding, helped us when needed, and made us feel welcome. Great stay, will be back!

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.

The Lookout at Froggy Farm
Honestly, one of our most pleasant Airbnb surprises. Nothing of The Lookout’s unassuming exterior prepares you for the cosy haven inside. And the beauty! We marvelled at how sourced African treasures and homely décor came together in a space that just breathes luxurious comfort. Rich colours and beautiful antique wood, art and craft … and then the view over the ocean. Wow. And even being there on one of the windiest days in Simon’s Town, we could still hook the double doors open and enjoy a glass of wine on the small patio, hardly feeling anything. A best-kept secret gem on this side of Cape Town.

Private Exquisite Cottage with Big Garden
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this delightful little cottage. It was very clean, safe, cozy and peaceful. Actually, the word "serene" keeps popping into my head when I think of our stay! The garden is so very interesting and I spent quite a bit of time simply staring at the various plants and arrays that have been set up. Having breakfast at the outdoor table was such fun and an opportunity for us to bond and plan our day. I highly recommend this cottage; it is a true gem.

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.

1 Bedroom House with garden
Amazing place and amazing people, we had an absolutely awesome time and the house was wonderful. We’d recommend it over and over 😊

Bellingham Homestead - Garden Cottage
Clean and quiet. Secure area but easily made arrangements for uber collections and drop offs. Lovely pool and facilities such as braai areas, chairs and sun loungers. Great to have separate pool and bath towels. Appreciated little touches such as salt and pepper, coffee plungers and wash up items to use.

Cheerful Open-plan Beach Cottage
Great experience from start to finish. Beautifully made house in beautiful surroundings

Rooiels Dream Cottage
This is a very special area and the accomodation was perfect for our needs, with its exclusive view overlooking the pristine nature reserve and ocean. Highly recommended!

Guava Cottage -Dunstone wine estate - private pool
Its absolutely beautiful! Wish we could've stayed for a week!

Sunny cottage in the winelands
We had a wonderful stay at Trish‘s place. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures and the views out of every window were gorgeous. We found the cottage to be conveniently located for the Stellenbosch area with shops, wine, farms and restaurants only a short drive away. The property is securely fenced with an electric gate and an alarm and felt very safe. Trish is very friendly and always available if you need help. We would definitely love to stay in Trish‘s cottage again and highly recommend it to anyone spending time in the winelands.

Kim's Cottage, Jonkershoek Valley
A beautiful cottage in the mountains, great for just relaxing with a book, going on walks or exploring the surrounding mountains and wine farms - highly recommended!

Happy Valley Guest Cottages: Lorraine
Very comfortable; great setting and central to town and surrounding area .

Table Mountain colonial cottage
The location was great and views to the mountain, very special. We had a wonderful stay at Higgovale and would highly reccomend this apartment. Wyatt made us feel at home and had a great 2 night stay. Just beautiful...thank you Wyatt 😀

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 (a family of four with a three-year-old and a 9-month-old) spent 3 weeks at Anne‘s beautiful cottage and it was perfect. Our toddler loved spending time in the garden watching the chickens and ducks and in the pool - just as we did. The cottage is clean, very cosy and just ideal if you’re travelling with kids. Besides, the area is quiet and safe and the location is great as a lot of popular destinations can be reached within 20-30 minutes by car. Anne is the perfect host, easy to contact, very friendly, and gave great tips for cafés/destinations. We will definitely come back!

La Chataigne Wine Farm - Marron Cottage
Beautiful, serene and peaceful. The cottages feel remote on the river and in the valley, but is 5 min away from the town.

Constantia Garden Cottage
We had a lovely time at this lovely cottage! The interior is as shown and very tasteful, the location in constantia very peaceful and within a beautiful neighbourhood. We also felt super welcomed by the housekeeper Memory, who made our stay extra special! Thank you!
