Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Arniston

Great carpets, furniture, paintings and books lining the walls. The views of verdant garden and mountain from the windows are beautiful. Lotus the cat is very sweet. Juliette and Ben were happy to let me check in a little early and were super responsive throughout my stay. A lovely place to stay!

Cape Creek Cottage is a lovely family holiday home. There is ample space for two families, with multiple living areas and facilities. Top of our list were the outdoor braai area, indoor living room, kitchen and the games room & loft. The kitchen is well equipped (and knives are sharp- which I appreciated!). The beds were super comfortable. The beach is an easy stroll from the house. A long walk at low tide is highly recommended. Struisbaai has everything you need- charming harbour eatery, supermarkets, good coffee and more. If we’re back in the area we will book again! Thanks Ben & Charlotte

We had the most incredible stay and cannot recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we arrived, Rozanne made us feel completely at home — she’s a truly exceptional host: warm, thoughtful, and always available if we needed anything. The home itself is stunning, with stylish and beautifully curated interior décor that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The indoor fireplace was a cozy highlight, and we spent unforgettable dinners at the indoor Braai (bbq) enjoying great food. And the view — absolutely to die for. Waking up to the sight of Springboks and Zebras roaming in the distance felt like something out of a dream. Despite its elegant design, the house was surprisingly child-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for our whole family. Every detail was considered. We’re already thinking of our return — next time, to catch the whales! Thank you again, Rozanne, for everything.

Lynda and Kevin’s cottage is very peaceful with a beautiful view. It’s a short walk to the beach and the cottage has everything one could need for a comfortable stay. This was my second stay at the cottage, and it has been very well maintained and is very clean.

Lovely home in our favourite seaside family escape. Enjoyed the pool, snooker table and table tennis. Great added value attributes not often found in the fishing village. Comfortable house and all you need in the kitchen, including two fridge/freezers, a dishwasher and a washing machine. Helpful and responsive hosts. Pet friendly too!

We enjoyed our stay very, very much! The view is just mesmerising and waking up to that was wonderful. The house is super well equipped. There was even dishsoap, dishwasher tablets, handsoap etc. provided. I found that exceptional. ♥️ The furniture and interior design is very modern. We loved that! And the house was clean. The house looked bigger in the pictures, but it’s just our impression. And we definitely still had everything we needed (and more). It was the right number of bedrooms as in the description and this is the most important thing for us. And there was even an entertainment room in the garage. It was awesome! Thank you 😊

We had a lovely 2day stay. The beach house has enough of everything. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful decorated open space with a sea view. The beds and couches are very comfortable. Definitely a great place for a short or long getaway.

Lovely setting and the most beautifully designed house. Everything you need for a special relaxed breakaway. Clean and fresh with spectacular views! There were a few hiccups, but easily resolved with Vanessa just being a call away. Will book again.

This is a very large, comfortable, clean, beautiful apartment with great views of the ocean. It is a short five minute walk to the Lighthouse and to the convenience, store and restaurants in town. Would loved the peacefulness of this town and its non-touristy appeal even though you are right there where the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Hillary was a great host, staying late for our evening arrival. We highly recommend this is a place to stay.

Lovely stay! Owners are super friendly and always on hand should you require something A small place with a homely feeling and exceptional views from the kitchen/dining area. We really enjoyed our stay and definitely will recommend this place to family and friends Thank you Christa and Willem

Philip was proactive on check in details, met us on arrival, showed us around and made us feel right at home in his wonderful very spacious apartment. The facilities, surrounding and overall space in the apartment is five star + The decor was modern, beautifully appointed and ultra smart! With and a lovely five minute walk to the beach and beach restaurants.

I would highly recommend for any single person or couple visiting Swellendam. Even though you are in town you look out across the river and big trees which creates the sense of being on a farm. Bed was very comfortable and flexible check-in.

My husband, seven year old son, and I stayed on Melanie’s farm and loved it. The accommodation was exactly as shown in the photos and in the description. Melanie gave excellent, detailed instructions and left nothing to chance. We will definitely be back to visit again.

We had a wonderful stay. Lorraine made us feel right at home, with easy check in and great communication and recommendations. The apartment has a wonderful sea view, and oozes holiday vibes. Highly recommended

Karin is a great host who goes above and beyond. The location, amenities, and view were great. The place is well decorated, cared for, and clean. I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

We had a fantastic stay at Leons place! The space is very modern, spotless, and thoughtfully designed—it truly felt like a home away from home. Leon was an exceptional host: super friendly, easy to communicate with, and always quick to respond. We’d highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting the area and would definitely stay again! Spectacular views !

It is a fantastic location and the views of lake and mountain are lovely. The host is really responsive and easy to deal with. This is a great house for groups of friends and family wanting to get away. Lots of space and hideaways for larger groups.

We will definately book Whale watch again, a stunning house with beautiful views. Perfect spot for relaxation and reconnection.

10/10! By far the best service and experience we have ever had. Best stay ever! This was a great experience. The staff was very polite and well-organised…..exceptional aspects like stunning views, impeccable design, and attentive service, peaceful environment everything stood out for me .

We had a quick stopover… but we will definitely come back. This place is a hidden gem for a group of friend to enjoy

We stayed here for a weekend getaway and had an amazing time.The house was spotless and exactly as described. We especially loved the quiet surroundings and the beautiful view.,we had games and the house is so big ,clean and kitchen has everything.The host was super helpful and made check-in easy..The only small issue we had was the inverter kept on tripping but they fixed it for us we enjoyed our stay . Would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing weekend away for group of friends or family, I will not mind coming back again .

The house at De Kelders is exquisite. The open view is 180 deg of sea view right above the rocks and the beautiful sea. Saw many seals. The house is beautifully appointed with stunning finishes. The house offers all the necessary amenities It’s peaceful and open plan. Both Hermanus and Stanford is close for restaurants and there are many accessible beaches. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing holiday

Great location, house and host!

We had such a fantastic stay at this beautiful Arniston home! Our only regret is that we didn’t book for a few more days. The house is stunning — tastefully decorated and fully equipped with everything a family could need. Our children loved having the big garden to run around in, and being able to bring our fur child along made the experience even more special. The hosts were incredibly responsive and accommodating, and we truly had a wonderful, memorable time. We can't wait to return!
