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 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
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.

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!

Tranquil Mountain Retreat in Hout Bay
What an absolute spoil it was for us! We did not want to leave. seb and his parents were so nice and accommodating. Bella was the highlight for my partner and I as we love dogs and we absolutely loved her! Such a beautiful peaceful space. We will definitely be returning soon The scenery and the space itself is absolutely beautiful Perfect for little romantic getaway Space is private and quiet ♥️ so happy we chose them!

Private & spacious garden studio cottage
We had an enjoyable stay at Oaktree cottage. The cottage is spacious with all amenities provided. Frances is a lovely host and went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. The Airbnb is within walking distance to a fantastic restaurant. All round a great stay.

Tranquil Retreat: Balcony, Braai & Stunning Views
Very nice and clean apartment in a beautiful residence with a very nice pool, garden and access to activities for kids. The area is astonishing with a direct access to the vineyards, view in the mountain, the City, the ocean and a few minutes drive to all commodities

William's Cottage
Lovely little farm cottage with access to a beautiful swimming pool. Basic amenities but perfect for a couple on a budget and close to the town centre.

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 .

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
Lovely space, lovely host. Really enjoyed our stay, travelling with our two young toddlers and the space was perfect. Great location to explore from.

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.
