House rentals with a pool

Cheerful 4 bedroom home with pool.
What a wonderful place Hanno & Nico have! The house has all comforts and sparkling clean! The pool is beautiful with lovely water. Furthermore, the hosts are incredibly friendly, respond quickly to messages and have all kinds of fun tips for restaurants and the surrounding area! Highly recommended!

Scenic two bedroom house with splash pool
We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the mountains from the garden. Was super easy to walk to start of Two Oceans race. Be careful when pulling in as drive is narrow. Overall great!

Large 2 bedroom house with private pool & garden
Can’t speak highly enough of our 4-night stay. Exceptional property, fully equipped with everything you’d need, wonderfully big outdoor garden with pool and loungers. 5 min walk to wine tram, 2 min walk to Franschhoek main road, yet extremely peaceful neighbourhood/st the house is located on, could hardly have picked a better location. Upstairs bedroom above kitchen/living area could certainly do with a fan, the only constructive feedback we have. The property manager/cleaners were extremely helpful throughout our stay and helped with flexible check-in/out which was greatly appreciated. Massive thanks for making our time in Franschhoek so special!

Large SUMMER FAMILY house with pool and lapa
Elzanne‘s place was perfect for our family of three visiting Cape Town for 5 nights. Our 2 year old enjoyed playing with all the toys available, plus the trampoline and swing set outside. We enjoyed the bbq grill and eating dinner outside most nights with a view of the sunset and pool. The property is very quiet and beds very comfortable. There‘s a huge fridge and freezer and everything you need to cook meals. The house is also beautifully designed so it was a very pleasant stay for us!

Cape Lights
This place gets a perfect score! The rooms are bright and very tastefully decorated. Everything is super clean. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The garden with the mini pool is also very well maintained. We felt at home there. The surroundings are safe. Cute little cafes and restaurants are very close. We can imagine coming back next year.
Rooftop Pool | Views | 24h power
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Denis’s in De Waterkant! The apartment was stylish, spotless, and perfectly located in a charming and vibrant neighborhood. Denis was an exceptional host—friendly and responsive. The space was comfortable, well-equipped, and felt like a home away from home. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you, Denis, for a great experience!

Private Pool. Near the beach.
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely home! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The location was perfect, with easy access to all attractions/shops/restaurants and beach. Louwrens was responsive, welcoming and made us feel right at home. Check-in was a breeze. We loved coming back and will come back again!

The space was spotless, well-maintained, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was also great. We appreciated the warm hospitality and would definitely stay again.

Stellenbosch Cottage, House & Garden, Solar Power
Ideal place to stay for weekend of school sport, close to everything Stellenbosch has to offer.

Mol House
Our weeks stay was perfect. Oliver was a great host, friendly and responsive. Close to where we needed to be during the day with a good choice of restaurants and shops nearby. The apartment was clean and neat and the bed was very comfortable. Bonus was the parking space in a locked garage behind the premises security gate. Will recommend staying there.

Leafy Southern Suburbs Gem
The house is located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, with a shopping mall just a 5–10 minute walk away. Inside, the home was exceptionally clean and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities for cooking, along with a reliable internet connection. Our host, Viyonne, was incredibly kind and attentive, promptly addressing all our requests and making us feel truly at home. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Parker’s Park House
A very pleasant, peaceful, spacious and well equipped house. We had a great time there and enjoyed the house and surroundings. Amy's was very helpful, friendly and responsive. We definitely would go back there and recommend the place to others.

Family Home between Wineries/Beaches and the City
We had a wonderful stay! The house was exactly as described, located in a great and quiet area, perfect for a relaxing family trip. All the amenities were spot-on, and Deidre was extremely responsive and helpful throughout. We especially recommend this place for anyone traveling with little ones. Would definitely stay here again!

JD’s Cottage
Franco's place is definitely home away from home. We felt really welcome . The box full of toys was definitely a highlight for me😊my boy really enjoyed himself and was playing the whole time. I woud Highly recommend. Thanks Franco for your warm hospitality.
House rentals with a hot tub

The Lookout
We had the most wonderful stay at The Lookout. A well equipped, beautiful space with amazing views. St James itself is also a lovely spot. We loved looking in the unique shops, having coffees, and feeling so free, we would definitely like go back. Imraan and his family were so friendly and welcoming. Just what we needed after a long stressful journey.

Marina Beach House
Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Modern Contemporary Zen Tree With Sparkling Pool
What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Gîte 1
I absolutely felt right at home. the views are to die for and I still cannot get over the hot tub outside. I plan to do yet another visit soon. the place is spacious, private and absolutely gorgeous. I would recommend this place to anyone

Glen Beach Bungalow Main House
Our stay at Mary-Louise’s villa was incredible! The location on Glen Beach is unbeatable, with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves. The villa was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Mary-Louise was a fantastic host—helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait to return!

House Elements | Wood Fired Hot Tub & Solar Power
A wonderful place to stay! Great private braai area overlooking beautiful fynbos and we really enjoyed the woodfired hot tub. Comfy beds, well equipped, modern and clean. So quiet at night, close to the beach and beautiful star gazing.

Tuscan Villa near Cape Town
Very beautiful place to stay, felt at home right away. Has loads of space. Very peaceful and quiet. Didier was very helpful and responsive. Awesome property!

Rose cottage w/ inverter + hot tub
This rating should have been seven or eight stars. This is a charming little cottage, beautifully presented, with all the amenities needed, including toys and books for children! Lisa went above and beyond what could be expected to give us a wonderful place and enable us to really enjoy our stay. We are a party of five, including two children and one baby. The house was ideal, and the sitting out area enabled people to come and see us, without us always having to go and see friends and family. It is a quiet Neighbourhood,yet close enough to shops and restaurants to be able to walk, even with a three year-old. The problem with ratings these days, is that five stars could mean it was satisfactory and nothing worth complaining about, but in this case, it really was outstanding. If one could give seven or eight stars, that would be the appropriate rating.
