Ballygale 547 - Family Beach Retreat

KarenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

RyanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a lovely stay at Mussel Inn. Lisa & Oliver provided clear instructions and the house matched the description and photos. It was amazing to get away from the hustle and bustle of the rest of Cape Town for a few days. We had a peaceful stay while there with the sound of the ocean in the background. Scarborough has excellent star visibility which was a real treat for us. We'd happily stay again!

Orchard House - Winter Getaway @ Jackal River Farm

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!

Rondeberg Farms

IsmailRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful cottage, and it was an absolute delight. From the moment I arrived, I was charmed by its cozy and serene surroundings. The cottage was clean and well maintained. I also had an incredible horse riding experience and to top off the relaxation, the on-site beauty therapist provided the most soothing and rejuvenating massage

The Garden Cottage 1

LeahRating, 5 stars7 months ago
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

TomRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Lovely one night stay in Froggy Farm. Beautiful view out onto the ocean. The property advertises two sofa beds but these are just two sofas so wouldn’t be suitable for anymore than a couple staying in the main bedroom on a longer stay.

Private Exquisite Cottage with Big Garden

GrizellRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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

NadiaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a lovely stay at Nikki’s with our 11 month year old! She made us feel very welcome and the cottage had everything we needed. We also enjoyed the pool a couple of times which was a perfect temperature. The cottage was very well located to explore the beautiful Deep South area and walkable to the Farm Village where you can enjoy yoga, yummy food and lovely shops.

Rooiels Dream Cottage

MikeRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is an absolutely great spot. Incredible sunset views and walking distance to a lovely otter pool inlet in Rooiels Nature Reserve. The braai area is also best placed to shelter you from the summer SouthEasterly wind. Just keep an eye out for the baboons! Illah and Ivan were very helpful. We'll definitely make an effort to visit again.

Sunny cottage in the winelands

NatalieRating, 5 stars4 months ago
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

NaomiRating, 5 stars2 days ago
What a gem of a cottage nestled within a nature reserve. We were surrounded by trees and the sound of birds and insects which was so peaceful. The cottage itself lends itself to a large group and is very cosy. We are certainly coming back.

Happy Valley Guest Cottages: Lorraine

RebekkaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I loved staying in the cottage. I went there for peace and that is exactly what I found. I could hear the creek outside, cool off in the pool, take a relaxing bath, and just spend hours looking at nature...and when I felt like it I was close to some amazing restuarants (Hari's for African tasting menu and wine pairing and Maison for the their tasting menu as well). The hosts were very responsive and kind. Thank you!

Thirty three Strawberry Lane Cottage

CarolineRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

We loved the cottage. It was private and peaceful. Anne is a fantastic host, friendly and knowledgeable about the area. The cottage is cosy and has everything you need. If you want to get away from everything but still be close to all that Cape Town has to offer, this place is ideal. We will definitely be back.
