Beach House with Jacuzzi Overlooking the Ocean

JackieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Gwen’s place was perfect for our family reunion. We felt right at home, super-comfortable and enjoyed the spectacular views. The kitchen was spotless and well equipped and had everything we needed and more. We were sad to leave your beautiful home and would love to come back soon. Thank you Gwen

Stunning Town House (With Inverter)

SvenjaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Staying at this stunning home in Cape Town was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, we felt an immediate sense of comfort and warmth — it truly feels like a home away from home. Every corner of the house is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, blending style and coziness in the most perfect way and super clean. The outdoor space is simply magical — serene, elegant, and ideal for relaxing at any time of day. Everything is immaculately maintained, and it’s clear how much love and care has gone into every detail. Franziska was an exceptional host — always quick to respond, incredibly kind, loving and genuinely committed to making our stay unforgettable. She goes above and beyond in every way. We’re already dreaming of our return! I can recommend this Home 200%. Thank you for everything 🙏

Home in Plettenberg Bay

Oyster Beach House - the best views in Plett.

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

A spectacular home! Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to stay. It is walking distance to the beach and to the Main Street with shops and restaurants, but the home is so lovely — with wonderful views and everything you need for self-catering — that you can easily spend all your time at the house. Dean was very communicative and left thoughtful touches like water carafes by the bed. We would love to stay here again!

Oriole Cottage

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviews2 months ago

We were warmly welcomed by Michèle and also had the opportunity to meet her loving family. The place is about a 4km drive from the N2 main road on a gravel road. With a small car, you can drive that piece at ease, but that is perfect to do with some patience:-). Once you arrive, you will find yourself in an oasis of peace in the middle of the forest. It is a perfect place to relax and at the same time serves as a base for getting off to the Plettenberg region (25min drive to the beginning of the bay). Pass by the supermarket if you get there the first day. You can cook the first night in the cottage and you don't have to go on the road anymore:-).

This cozy spot by the ocean in Simonstown was everything we hoped for—beautifully decorated, peaceful, and just steps from the water. We loved waking up to the sound of the waves and enjoying sunsets on the balcony. Kathy, the host, was incredibly helpful and so kind, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Highly recommend this little slice of paradise!

Paradise in Camps Bay:Luxury Villa with Pool&Views

5 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews1 month ago

We spent four weeks in the apartment and deliberately chose the Camps Bay area because it is a residential neighborhood—quiet, safe, yet still very close to the beach and the City Bowl. Benny's apartment has a wonderful large terrace with a pool to cool off—a fantastic extra—along with a sea view, beautiful wooden flooring, and a big grill. We spent a lot of time there and truly enjoyed it. The living and dining area with the open kitchen is modern and luxurious, while the two bedrooms, featuring a mix of concrete, wooden floors, and beautiful linens and curtains, each with an ensuite bathroom, were very stylish and comfortable. The garage is located beneath the apartment, providing direct and secure access to the living space. Ozzie was always available for any questions or arrangements, and Benny was as well. During our stay, only a small adjustment to the alarm system was needed, but that should be taken care of by now. Overall, we felt incredibly comfortable in Benny’s luxury apart

We had a wonderful stay with our two children at this amazing place. Rachel was a wonderful host and we would deeply thank her for her kind support to let us check in a bit earlier (after a long flight), her great communication and above all the little amenities we found in the fridge as a warm welcome. Thank you so much! We will recommend this place and the hosts a 100 percent and be back next time in Cape Town :)

We loved our stay here. We arrived late and Michael had everything including the baby crib set up for us. He was available for questions and the house is gorgeous with beautiful high ceilings. The location was perfect with tons of good food walking distance and grocery stores too. Bonus: Our daughter loved the two very friendly neighbor cats that stopped by! Thanks Michael!

Kelly is the sweetest, and a very communicative host. The place has a great view of the ocean, felt safe, and is in walking distance of camps bay restaurants and the beaches - both camps bay and Clifton. We had AC in one of the bedrooms which was great. We really enjoyed our stay.

Villa with stunning views

5 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews4 weeks ago

Francois' house is a real gem! It is even more spacious than it looks on the pictures and we felt right at home and could really relax after our 2-week road trip before flying home. We were 4 people and even had to look for each other as the house is so big! :) You will find everything you need there, it is a safe neighbourhood with great views and there are nice restaurants not too far away. The location is ideal if you plan trips to Stellenbosch, Hermanus or Cape Point and with the car you are in the city center in about 40min. Communication with Francois or his sister Dorette was always super easy and helpful and in case of early check-out there is a key box available.

We had a great stay thanks Taflin. You really own a piece of heaven, and we would definitely be back. It was rainy and misty, not the best weather, but we still had a great time. This is one of the nicest Airbnb’s we have stayed at, and there have been quite a few. Thanks for allowing us in your home, you will see us again in future for sure.

Beautiful private cottage, surrounded by nature

RiaanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

What a gem! We really enjoyed our stay here. Our German Shepard also joined us. It’s a cute little house in the forest. Peaceful. It is off the grid so there is solar. There is an enclosed yard around the house for your pets. The owners dog, Jupiter, comes to visit every now and then. There is also a horse on the farm. It is in between Knysna and Plett so with a short 20 minute drive you can visit either of the 2 places.

We LOVE this villa and the location couldn’t be more perfect, it feels so safe, the villa views are a dream, the decor and art work we love, comfy furniture and beds, pristine clean, feels homely yet luxurious.
