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
Very nice stay, thanks a lot !

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.

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
It was stunning! Will definitely be back🙏🏼❤️

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
Via someone who stayed there with her 2 kids and who I booked it for :)... A super cosy and well-appointed cottage with beautiful ocean and mountain views. The large pool and incredible garden, complete with a frog-filled stream running through it, was a delight to my kids (I think the frogs were less delighted however). We greatly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Heart of Kloof Street Living - the Secret Spot
10/10 spot in gardens! Super cozy and has everything you would need. Private and tucked away in the back, fast WiFi, comfy bed, good kitchen and 3 lovely dogs on the property 🥹 super close to Resturant’s and main action, but tucked away where it feels private Molly is so kind and welcoming, she made the stay effortless and I can’t wait to come back . Don’t miss this 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
I use Airbnb A LOT. I book 3 or 4 places a month & I must say, this is definitely top 5 for me! We felt right at home from the moment we checked in! Jay was a ray of sunshine. Her lovely energy makes you feel like you are meeting an old friend. She took the time to read my profile & seeing that I love plants, she gave me permission to play in her garden the whole week. This was the highlight of my stay. These 2 wholesome beings are such a lovely couple that goes above & beyond to make their guests feel welcome & taken care of! Their caretaker Mr Darlington was friendly, helpful & there whenever l needed his assistance! This home is very comfortable, safe, clean & had everything we needed. It looks even better than the pictures! The outdoor garden is so cosy. You can braai or just chill & enjoy a quiet evening! check out was ofcoz sad, l wish l could’ve stayed longer. Our whole stay was exactly what my little family needed. Would definitely recommend & we plan on staying here again!

Kim's Cottage, Jonkershoek Valley
Great spot, good value for money. Lovely views of the mountain range. Peaceful and quaint

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

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
