Luxury at 230 (House)
An absolutely wonderful experience. Two of us stayed for a month while working at a hospital locally, and it was perfect. Even before we arrived Nikki gave lots of useful information about local weather and things to do. Nikki and Tom were so kind and helpful, meeting us when we arrived and making sure we were settled in and had everything we needed. They were responsive throughout our stay and really made us feel at home, as well as giving lots of great recommendations of things to do and places to go. The house and pool are well kept and feel very safe and private as it’s back away from the main street. Overall would highly recommend.

Modern Contemporary Zen Tree House With Pool
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying in Gardens! It’s just a great area with a lot of restaurants around. You can see the Lions had from the pool and be in Camps Bay or V&A in 15 minutes by car. The house is great. You basically feel like you are in Costa Rica or somewhere in the jungle when you wake up or have a coffee on the terrace. We loved it!

Hoogwater Cottage
We loved the little space we had for ourselves Although it is busy with workers right behind our space which means no walking around naked 😅 but hot tub and grass patch was exactly what we needed for a quick getaway And it is still somewhat private and definitely feels peaceful Maybe an AC for hot summer days would be great We loved it and would recommend

View, beach, comfy accommodation = Perfection
Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

Sunshine, views, beach, kitchenette, bbq.
What an amazing little place! We loved everything about our stay, apart from our visit being too short. "Room With a View" definitely lived up to its name, absolutely beautiful views. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable with absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need. John, was so warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and getting to see how beautiful Knysna is. Thank you so much to you all, we will most definitely be back and hopefully for much longer! x

Orchard Stay
An absolute piece of paradise this place is!!! will definitely recommend and definitely will return. a beautiful clean and very well maintained property with amazing views and Privacy. a great break from the noise of daily life. Absolutely LOVED IT

Nirvana Cottage
Nathan’s place was the perfect location for our family of four to explore Capetown. The cottage is cosy with all the necessary amenities m, and we felt right at home. Nathan is a friendly and approachable host that made us feel very welcome, and he had a ton of local suggestions and tips on where to visit. The neighbourhood felt very safe and family friendly, there is a lovely playground across the street, and a shopping village/ mall 5 minutes drive- it truly is the perfect location for a short or longer term stay in Capetown and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

Beautiful home in the city - off the grid
I had an absolutely amazing experience staying at this beautiful home! From the moment I arrived, I was blown away by the stunning design, peaceful atmosphere, and seamless blend of comfort and sustainability. The home is exactly as described—off-the-grid yet perfectly equipped, making for a truly unique and relaxing escape. Anthea, the host, was fantastic! She went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect, adding thoughtful personal touches that made me feel so welcome. From the little details in the decor to the carefully curated amenities, it was clear that a lot of love and care went into making this space special. The location was ideal—close enough to explore the city but nestled in a serene setting. It truly made the stay unforgettable! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a unique and memorable experience. I can't wait to return!

Once upon a Tide 2
We had a wonderful stay here with our two boys. It was walking distance to a beautiful beach and had stunning views. The cottage had everything we needed, including beach umbrella & chairs. The garden was great for our toddler to play in and would be perfect if you’re travelling with dogs. We will definitely be back!

Appin House (electrical & water backup)
An absolute paradise! Great for all ages, we had from a toddler for the day to 85 year old mama, who all felt at home and had a wonderful time. We lived on the back porch, soaking in the sun and breeze and catching up with each other after 2 years apart. Would absolutely stay again!

Casa La Robertson
I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Hermitage Huisies: Guinea Fowl Cottage
What a gem! Perfect location offering the best of both worlds - the serenity of a countryside setting and natural surroundings, yet a 5 minute drive into town for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. With breathtaking views of the mountains and farm (complete with horses, sheep, donkeys and more) from your patio, ample birdsong, a spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped, cozy cottage with an incredibly comfortable bed and enormous shower - one couldn't ask for more! Nadia is a kind, thoughtful and attentive host...I cannot wait to stay here again :)

The Goodland Honey Cottage - Newly Renovated
What a great find Maryke’s place is! Honey cottage is beautiful - very spacious, light and airy with a lovely covered terrace where we enjoyed our breakfasts and a glass of wine. Maryke gave us some great recommendations for hikes to explore. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great until the last day but the cottage is so well equipped and spacious we were very comfortable. I would highly recommend this place if travelling to the central Drakensberg area

Yield house on Beach road
Cosy place with breathtaking view. We enjoyed our stay. Very spacious and clean.

Perfect solar powered holiday home for families -
We had a fantastic stay at this well-designed home in the quiet and peaceful neighborhood of Claremont. The layout was perfect for our family, with spacious and comfortable rooms. Claudia, the host, was incredibly kind, communicative, and proactive, making our stay even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this home and would happily return in the future!

Garden Corner - beautiful home close to amenities
FIona and Arnold have a wonderfully private, restful retreat that's also very walkable to great coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. We stayed for a month, and as a family of five, found the house to be well-appointed, stylish, and comfortable. The host we're incredibly responsive and helpful. Given the chance, we'd stay here again! Thank you for a great stay!

Holiday home with lots of space and close to beach
Claudia's place was perfect as we wanted to be close to family in nearby town. We were two families sharing the property and had plenty of space and everything we needed. The home is great location to walk to the beach and nearby bars and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, would recommend, Claudia was on hand for any queries throughout.

En-suite Family Room Opening on Swimming Pool
what a great stay....we needed 1 night very last minute and it was more that I expected....pool was great room is very comfortable sure we will stay over again soon

Heron House - self-catering with pool
Absolutely loved our stay! The house was incredibly spacious - even more so than the pictures suggested. The location couldn’t have been better, surrounded by lush greenery with horses casually strolling by, while still in walking distance to the town. Everything was well-equipped and comfortable, making it feel like a true home away from home. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway in Greyton!

Luxury Modern Atlantic Seaboard Villa
We had an awesome time at Daniel’s place. The house is spacious and well apportioned and the location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and all the shops / restaurants in Sea Point. House is very well kitted out especially for kids with loads of toys and books to keep the little ones entertained. Ireen was also a god send - she kept the house spotless and also looked after our little one! We’ll definitely be back!

PLETTENBERG BAY's CASA da PAZ- AN AMAZING PLACE
Absolutely perfect place to stay! Will definitely be returning again. Lena and Herbert were wonderful, super helpful and friendly. Thank you and look forward to staying with you again!

River Club in Plettenberg Bay
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Lida's place , the house was beautiful positioned in a lovely garden area with charming pond in the backyard . Incredibly peaceful with lots of bird life and even a couple of resident peacocks to great you at the backdoor . The house is situated very close to the complex pool and tennis courts , which were always immaculate .It's a very easy walk to the beach and local shops and restaurants. Lida was a great communicator and made us feel very welcome even before we arrived . Definitely a highly recommended holiday accomodation!
