Cottage vacation rentals in Africa

Thank you, guys for a lovely stay. The lovely rain only added to the quiet and pristine environment. Thanks Ash

Amazing place! Would highly recommend it!

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

We had a wonderful stay at in La Florida and would definitely recommend for a relaxing holiday away. The house and gardens were exactly as shown in the photos and a wonderful place to relax. We really enjoyed the wood burning hot tub, we purchased additional wood from the Repsol garage. The drive to the house was steep but very manageable for a confident driver. Initially we were given keys to only one of the apartments however as this had two single beds we requested the keys to the second place as this had a double bed and Susana was very accommodating in providing these.

Came here last year as I grew up in the hermitage and brought my Thai fiance and she just fell in love with the place. The animals, nature, mountains and friendly people. Love it here and came back longer this time and will be back every year.

The pictures looked beautiful but were nothing compared to the real deal! A wildebeest was strolling past the cottage on arrival, with more wildlife gathering within 5 minutes drive. We watched a stunning sunset from the lookout point and then had spent time watching the stars from the hot tub. A personalised welcome letter and gift of rusk was waiting for us on arrival, along with a file filled with information regarding nearby places to visit and information on the local wildlife. I only wish that we could have stayed longer. We could easily have spent a week there without running out of things to do and see. So grateful for the experience!

We enjoyed our stay, it was peaceful and private. We loved the wood-fired hot tub!! The unit was clean and we loved the location.

Wonderful location and breathtaking views would definitely recommend 😍

We booked Penny's place at the last minute and she was more than willing to assist us. The space is lovely, we enjoyed meals in the open plan kitchen with a view over the valley. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. The shower was piping hot and clean which was superb on a rainy cold weekend. Full dstv bouquet allowed us to enjoy the UCI XCO races. All in all, an incredibly pleasant weekend. Thanks Penny.

Zuikerboschfontein was a little slice of heaven. We had the most wonderful Easter weekend there with our dogs Toby and George - not sure who enjoyed the trip more, us or them. Martinette is a spectacular host and didn’t miss out on one step with the cottage. It was both adorable and full of all the essentials - we loved the touch of the homemade soap. Definitely have to come back soon!

We visited over the Easter Weekend, and it was a joy to be away from the busy crowds in town. The interior of the cottage is absolutely stunning and spacious. We also loved the private outside area with a braai and 3 areas to relax. Privacy from the bedroom is not great, especially with the doors open. Don't let the lack of seaviews put you off. You feel like you are on a farm, highly recommended!

It was a fabulous experience to stay four days in the perfect peace, quiet and beautiful surroundings of Hill Cottage. The house is full of character and comfortably furnished. Swimming in the lake after hiking and running the waterfall circuits was unforgettably good for the soul! Would definitely return.

We nearly didn’t go because of the amount of rain they had recently but I am so happy we went. Our host and her husband truly went the extra mile for us and we really couldn’t thank them enough. Loved our stay.

Loved our stay! Robert was super friendly, beautiful garden, so serene and relaxing. a lovely place to chill out and relax surrounded by nature and two friendly dogs! Was sad to leave, gets chilly once the sun goes down so bring some cosy clothes to be extra comfy! Definitely recommend 👌

Dee's place is super cute :) Myron and Dee are great hosts- warm, charming and helpful, making the cottage feel like a home away from home

The place had wonderful views and was very serene. It was an excellent atmosphere to relax and reviitalize. The systems worked very well. Our stay was very fulfilling and we will like to stay over and over again. We will definitely recommend to other guest as a place of excellent relaxation

This Airbnb stay was truly exceptional. The host was thoughtful, supportive, and quick to respond, making the entire process seamless. The property was serene, beautifully maintained, and perfect for relaxing, with every detail carefully curated. The host’s attentiveness and helpful local tips enhanced the experience. Highly recommend for a peaceful retreat!

We recently stayed at this charming cottage for a few days. It exceeded our expectations. The place was cozy and clean. The peaceful surroundings made for a restful nights sleep. Host was warm and welcoming providing clear instructions. Whether you are looking for a quiet retreat this cottage is a hidden gem. Highly recommend.

Our second stay with our two kids in this beautiful house. As before, we love the wild surroundings, the cozy and comfortable space and the amazing views and night skies. We’ll be back!

Absolutely stunning place. Wish we had stayed longer. Such exquisite views. Comfortable, spacious, clean, quiet with lots to do nearby. Will definitely book this Airbnb again.

Michelle was a warm and generous host, whose attention to detail was evident throughout the cottage. The cottage is extremely well equipped, comfortable, private and set within stunning gardens. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

A beautiful cottage in a stunning setting. Very clean and well equipped, we will definitely visit again.

Really enjoyed our stay at the milk cottage. The cottage itself was very beautiful, well layed out and equipped with everything we needed. There were also books which our 2 year old son enjoyed reading and playing with. The property was also amazing with play areas and lots of toy trucks and a deck where you get a spectacular view of the maize plantation and the drakensberg.

Such a cozy house in the woods — we spent a week here and totally fell in love with the place. Peaceful, beautiful - the perfect place to hide and disconnect from the world. Big thanks to Mia and Teegan, everything was great!
