Beautiful Two Bedroom Accommodation near Beach
Our short stay at Glenda's place in Milnerton was truly awesome. The tidy unit was very well furnished and equiped with everything we could ever need. The living space and outside fascilities were great too and we never felt cramped. We had a wonderful time in Cape Town and surrounding areas and we received great suggestions for restaurants, shops and other attractions in the area. The central location of Glenda's place was also great and we could easily navigate our way right around the greater Cape Town area. We'll definately visit again if the opportunity presents itself.

Designers Cottage on Table Mountain
I had the most delightful stay! The family were all lovely, including Blue🐶. Mark gave me an excellent tour of the place. He, Cathy and Jarad have me such a warm welcome . The place was peaceful and felt just like home. I was very comfortable and slept well!! I’d been travelling for a while and this was the perfect spot to spent a week recouping and working remotely. I will definitely be back! Thank you all so much.✨

Luxury serviced cottage + heated pool Constantia
We absolutely loved our stay and definitely hope to go back next time we are in Cape Town. The home exceeded our expectations and the heated pool was the cherry on top. Best pool we have ever swam in, which we spent all day in. Appreciated the easy electronic kid friendly pool cover. The staff were incredibly kind and went the extra mile to make the stay very fun for our boys. Highly recommended!

Highlights for travelers include excellent wifi, comfortable desk chair, big bright open spaces, plenty of outlets w/a variety of adapters, flashlights, lovely staircase with banister, nice hot shower, grocery nearby, and proximity to a walking park is perfect. And it’s quiet and private!

Cedar Three Guest Cottage
The host Gail and Trevor were amazing. They came to welcome us and ensure we were all ok. Super friendly, kind and very helpful. The place was very comfortable and neat. Gail goes the extra mile, to make coffee cookies milk and bottles water… all available upon arrival. Very impressive for sure. I would personally recommend this place to family and friend. Thank you so much Gail and Trevor for being so accommodating. Much appreciated 🙏🏼

Uitsig - Branch & Vine Cottages
We had a great week’s stay - safe, quiet neighbourhood and a secure setting. The pool was lovely, the studio was newly refurbished and really well stocked. Very comfortable bed, lots of hot water. Lovely helpful staff. Met some other very pleasant guests. We visited the Constantia wineries, Norval Foundation and Kirstenbosch - but easy to get to the city, beaches too. Overall, wonderful accommodation! Highly recommend.

Tokai Garden Cottage
We had a wonderful time at Laura and Markus' garden cottage! Already upon arrival we felt immediately welcome - the two are incredibly warm and open hosts without imposing themselves. Here you can see how much love and commitment is in this special place. The cottage itself is fantastically beautiful. Everything is sparkling clean, newly renovated and furnished with a lot of love for detail. The atmosphere is quiet, warm and very welcoming - just the place to unwind and feel completely comfortable. We particularly liked the lovingly designed garden, which makes it even more idyllic. Laura and Markus were responsive and super helpful at all times. You just feel like they're really happy to host their guests. We would have loved to stay longer - and will definitely be back!

Casa Barbarossa - Luxury Cottage Constantia
We had a fantastic stay in Nolenes place, and we were blown away by it! It was equipped with everything you could possibly need in a home , plus more. We felt extremely spoilt by the additional treats Nolene left for us. The garden was perfect for our toddler and Nolene went above and beyond by providing some some toys and books for her. The beds were so comfortable and the whole house had a wonderful relaxing feel. We’ll definitely stay again in the future :)

Beautiful Constantia Cottage with Great Views
I had a wonderful stay in this beautiful and peaceful location! The space was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. I also really enjoyed the company of Troy the dog :-) Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Garden Cottage
This is the second time I've stayed at Anne's place and once again, I had such a comfortable stay. Anne is the most lovely host, always accommodating, responsive and always made sure that I was comfortable. The units are clean and neat, from the cutlery, linen and the space in general. The area is also really peaceful which allows for a comfortable stay. I can't wait to be back!

French inspired self-catering 2 bedroom cottage
An excellent space to get away. A spacious backyard and well layed out flat. Felt very luxurious and comfortable.

Cozy home away from home
This Airbnb truly exceeded our expectations! We needed a comfortable and welcoming space while renovating our home, and Suleiman was absolutely fantastic—incredibly responsive, kind, and always willing to assist in any way he could. The home itself has everything you could possibly need and more. It felt warm, inviting, and most importantly, safe—especially for us as a family with two kids. The peaceful atmosphere made our stay even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend this Airbnb for anyone looking for a relaxing getaway, a home-away-from-home experience, or even a local holiday retreat. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

Luxury, spacious apartment in Fresnaye with solar
We loved this Airbnb! We felt very safe and comfortable with the location. So glad we decided on this one. It was centrally located and a nice area. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the mornings. We rented a car and enjoyed having that to drive to other parts of Cape Town. The apartment itself was so nice. It was cozy but not cluttered. It was so clean!! And we enjoyed the lighting and textures throughout that truly made it feel like home. We kept saying “We would totally live here”. The bed was comfortable and the shower was delightful!! Andreas was very nice-meeting us upon arrival and was always available if we needed him. We would definitely recommend this space. It was our first time to South Africa and this apartment added to our absolutely lovely time. We didn’t want to leave.

Separate Entrance Flatlet in Woodstock
Jason's place is a very convenient and well-priced AirBNB well-situated in Woodstock; many restaurants and so on are nearby, and the Waterfront and CBD are both conveniently within reach as well. The room itself is also spacious and well ventilated etc, with a convenient small side kitchen, and a bathroom, both with the standard amenities. Jason kept up communication well, sharing important info and tips, as well as local restaurants etc.

Camps Bay chic home with great views near beach
It was a great place to stay in a good location with everything you need for an enjoyable time.

Bokkombaai- SpringTide Unit- Bloubergstrand
This is my second time coming back to this house. This was the most beautiful, accommodating, value -for-money and spectacular Airbnb house I have ever come across. The views are spectacular. There is easy access to the beach as well an inside and outside braai. The house is very modern and safe. The communication with the host hosts are prompt and professional.

Winchester Garden Cottage
We had a wonderful stay at Carl's place and really enjoyed how close it is to Kirstenbosch. Would have loved to have stayed longer.

2 Bedroom Apartment above the beach
Cape White eyes, hoopoe ,Fork tailed drongos , sun birds to name a few & the most beautiful of butterflies flitting past the large plate glass windows in our main bedroom were a delight . The indigenous garden and beautiful bay and Silvermine mountain views from Mark's place ensured that I woke up to bird song every morning. As an outdoors person and nature lover staying here ensured a little of the nature that I love and normally seek out staying in National Parks was on our doorstep while I was still able to have my dogs along with us for this holiday . Of course you are choosing Fishhoek as a holiday destination because of the hiking , snorkelling, sea swimming, kayaking , history, opportunities and coastal vibe. There is so much to do and explore right on your doorstep . Check- in was super easy. Mark was a very kind & accommodating host always available by phone. His beautifully appointed apartment worked perfectly for my family & our doggies. Thank you for a great stay Mark

Private Beach Cottage - 3min walk to the beach.
I had an absolutely amazing stay. I wish my time in Muizenberg had been longer.
