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.

Romantic Garden Cottage
Highly recommend this spot to anyone wanting to get the full Franschhoek experience. Marlicia, and her husband are gracious hosts, more than accommodating when we needed a spot to park, their place is gorgeous, especially their backyard. The only downside about our stay is that we didn’t have enough time to enough the garden and the pool more. The location is also just a 6 min drive from the Franschhoek wine tram/bus station!

Orchard House - Winter Getaway @ Jackal River Farm
What a Gem of a place on the most beautiful apple farm. The cottage is perfectly positioned to access the most amazing mountain bike trails in the surrounding area. The rooms are spacious and modern, giving you the feeling of luxury, yet still on a farm enjoying the smells and feelings of not being in town. Dwayne and the team were extremely good at communications too and allowed for a seamless stay. Keep it up team, amazing work.

Oaktree - Luxury cottages @ Jackal River Farm
Great break from the city life. Nice, clean and relaxing space. We had difficulty finding the pool. Maybe a map or clear directions would be great. Otherwise, a great stay.

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

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.

La Vue River Cottage – A Country Retreat
Amazing stay, beautiful accommodation with lovely small touches! We enjoyed the hot tub in the evening under the stars! Nicely decorated and clean! Walking distance to town - felt very safe and secure! Also the information book Nicola provided was fab! Thank you for such an amazing stay!!

South Hill Vineyards - Pumphouse Honeymoon Cottage
The cottage was fantastic, beautiful setting with great privacy. You have a whole dam to yourself, walk in the vineyards, relax in the wood fire hot tub under the stars. No complaints, but do not plan to cook a lot of meals, the kitchen is small and washup area, we lit a braai outside and that was perfect. Definitely would recommend and return.

Cape Cuckoo Cottage: Magic 2 Bedroom Farm Cottage
We had the best time at Cape Cuckoo Cottage - we honestly felt right at home and it was peaceful there. Brit is an amazing host, always available and went above and beyond for each request we had.

Rooi Els Sea Cottage
We absolutely loved our weekend away at Matt’s place! The views are breathtaking, and the setting is so peaceful, safe, and secure. The home has such great style and attention to detail—it’s the perfect escape from the city. Everything was just as described (if not better!), and can’t wait to be back soon. Highly recommend!

Bellingham Homestead - Garden Cottage
Beautiful tranquil location with friendly hosts. Will definitely want to stay here again.

Cottage2 with sea views, Sauna,Gym, Pool
It is an affordable clean quiet place and not far from a shopping center

Cape Villa
Trish is a wonderful host, I highly recommend.

Ruby Sun Farm Cottage
Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

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

Grace Upon Grace - Somerset West
Linda is a great host! She made us feel very welcome, gave us loads of travel tips and was on hand if we needed anything. Her place was very conveniently located for our trips around the helderberg basin trips to Cape Town.

Pearl Valley Golf Estate, Cedar Point 4C
We had a wonderful two night stay at Adri’s place. The location was beautiful and the space suited to a group travelling together. The kids loved having access to the club pools for swims. We did have difficulty checking in and locating the place as it was listed as Val de Vie but was on Pearly Valley Golf Estate. The estate has complex check in procedures for security but once you have gone through this then it becomes easier. Adri was always very responsive and assisted us when needed. The only thing that would make this place better is that the kitchen could be better stocked. Thanks for a great stay!

Barnacle Tree
Well done, Pat, You have set the bar! We couldn’t fault Barnacle Tree cottage…spotless…everything we needed and more…comfortable..superbly equipped…easy access, safe parking…quiet neighbourhood …compact unit, yet ample space…you’ve really put a lot of thought into providing for your guests. Just sorry we couldn’t stay longer! We’ll be back when next in Somerset West Kindest regards Andy and Sue

Bamboo Cottage, great views, pool & large garden
Bamboo Cottage was clean, peaceful and perfectly family friendly, set in beautiful gardens and within short walking distance of the great restaurants and amenities of Franschhoek. It was the perfect place to relax and explore the winelands from. Kitty and Chris were proactive and flexible to ensure we had everything we needed before and during out stay. We can’t wait to go back.

Sweetwater Casa Lemon
Very nice place to stay, nice pool to relax in. We didn’t have chance to use the sauna or hot tub but very fine facilities to have available.

Stuart's Cottage
Stuart’s Cottage was a dream find! Unbelievably peaceful, quiet and perfect! We felt right at home with Gianluca & Elmarie. Would definitely book for more than the 2 days we stayed and it’s in the perfect location, close to restaurants, Strand beach and accessible to the wine route via stellies. Would highly recommend Stuart’s Cottage to anyone wanting a peaceful and pleasant stay!

Cranberry Cottage - A place for the soul
Lesley and her husband Linden are a lovely couple and just the most caring hosts anyone could wish for! They reside on the property and are very hands on and always available should the need arise, yet the cottage is very private and secure with it's own and very beautiful outside spaces. Our family spent a week over Christmas in this beautiful cottage. It's fully equipped for self-catering and so much care is taken in every detail! Christmas decorations, fresh fruit and flowers blew us away upon arrival! The cottage is managed with pride and SO much love! This is a very special address and we'd love to visit again. Thank you again beautiful people!

Laanrust Cottage on the Eersteriver
We enjoyed our stay in that beautiful decorated and well equipped apartment. It is very private. The veranda was fantastic, the bed super comfortable and all is just a few minutes by foot from town. Fabulous! Communication with Marie is great. We would definitely stay in Laanrust cottage again when back in Stellenbosch.

AGAPÉ Garden Rest
We loved our stay here and were so delighted to stay here again. The hosts are wonderful and the house is beautiful and comfortable. We will definitely come back.
