Family-friendly vacation rentals in Eastern Cape

We had the pleasure of going back to St Francis and just had the best time. From the moment we arrived Tanya made us feel right at home. The location worked so well for us with youngsters going to Billies and we had easy access to the canals. We look forward to coming back :)

Our team had a fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb! The space was perfect for our group – comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great location. The host was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We appreciated the thoughtful touches and quick communication throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable stay. We hope to return in the future

Sarah was a fantastic host - helpful, friendly and quick to respond. The house had lovely views and it was a very easy walk to the beach - ideal location. It fitted our group more than comfortably and made our Kenton stay just the rejuvenating holiday we were after!

Thanks you for a wonderful stay and the best views. Can't wait to return

If you're looking for a place in Plett for a family holiday with young kids (ours are 9 & 6) then this is a superb house. Nice safe and peaceful complex, communal areas are clean, the pools are great, and the house has everything you need. BUT please note the 3rd outside bedroom is actually tiny. It's a double bed, right up against the wall. My parents (Granny and Granddad) also joined us and no way they could use that as a bedroom. They can't climb over each other to get out of bed! So they moved into the 2nd bedroom and our kids slept on mattresses on the floor for 10 nights. The outside room is perfect for 1 teenager/adult. The house is well equipped, and lots to do on rainy days. It definitely needs some TLC and in need of a modernization but overall a good family holiday house in Plett.

We had a lovely stay, the unit is very practical and caters to all your needs. John and his wife are the sweetest people and we enjoyed their hospitality. We had a small toddler & a baby and it was very easy to stay in this unit with great family friendly restaurants around.

We stayed at Sue's in our way up the garden route and it was just what we needed! The hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived, the property fit our family of 4 perfectly and it really was a lovely quant little flat. The surroundings were amazing - so beautiful. Would happily come back!

What a great view and a spacious interior! The property owners were so friendly! One if our most pleasant Airbnb stays.

Our stay at Jane's place was magnificent. The peacefulness was exactly what we needed. The cottage is much bigger than we thought, which was a nice surprise. Will definitely be going there again.

Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

The apartment was spotless and a great location to explore plett from. The bed was incredibly comfortable and had fantastic linens. We had a lovely time here and even walked to the beach to enjoy the lovely weather! Would definitely stay here again.

If you're looking for a peaceful and serene place to stay with a proper farm house experience and like to see the stars at night, you can't go wrong! This is my new halfway to the coast for sure.

We really enjoyed our stay here, it was peaceful and quiet with gorgeous views. Tendai was very responsive to all queries and always available. It was clean, spacious, comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for cooking and braaing. The lagoon is literally across the road, the kids loved exploring and finding items like rays, crabs, expired jellyfish etc. It was definitely a memory making holiday and would highly recommend this option.

Great location. Sarita was very approachable and helpful.

Not my first stay here, and won't be my last. Very comfortable. Love the fully equiped kitchen (oven, stove, large fridge), TV lounge area , kitchen table to work at. and patio door to open for some fresh air. Thank you for allowing my last minute booking.

We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Ian, however Ronelle was there, his wife. She was lovely. Made us feel at home., tiny touches like rusks milk tea and coffee. The cot for my our baby. Body wash, hand soap, nice fluffy towels and plenty of extra blankets not that we needed the blankets. We had great weather while there. We wish we could've stayed longer but next time we will book both cottages they have when we have our kids with. really lovely and worth the price. It's close to everything and easy to find. it's really a little oasis with the Ian and Ronelles lush garden. We enjoyed our morning coffees out on the patio. thank you so much.

Beautiful home with great ammenities. We loved staying there. It was so peaceful with lots to do around us. If we didn't want to go out we could braai and swim and ride bikes which was lovely. Would definitely reccommend staying there.

Returned again! Love this spot, unfortunately the previous guests appeared to have damaged the washing machine, also the house wasn't that clean this time, doggie footprints everywhere including on the veranda loungers. The couch was also a bit dirty and grubby. My dogs don't go on furniture, so I was a bit miffed that other guests get away with allowing dogs to jump/sleep on furniture. Whoever you were, you know who you are! Please don't spoil it for those of us who respect the house and treat it with care. I am not the owner but I am not happy on Christo's behalf. Nevertheless I had a wonderful week and Nozi came to clean so that was a bonus because I got to see Nozi! I will be back because I am a local at heart and this house has everything I need for a wonderful relaxing holiday. And my dogs love it, and THEY don't jump on the furniture!

We loved our stay in Pansy Shell. It’s a fabulous, open plan house with a lovely garden and pool and the most extraordinary view, must be the best in Plett. All communication was very easy, Cynthia looked after us very well, as did the security company (a faulty key meant we saw night watchmen a few times). We would definitely recommend this house and would love to return.

Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Felt at home and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our surroundings. Will make sure to visit again.

Memorable experience, highly recommend Thesen Island and the majestic home and facilities.

Lovely flat that’s much bigger than expected so perfect for families. We stayed with our 7 month old and a cot and high chair were provided which was super helpful!

Beautiful home with plenty of space. We felt so at home

We spent 4 nights as a family of 4. The property is exquisite and has all the luxury amenities. The views are breathtaking! The house is massive but feels cosy and homely. The hosts are friendly, helpful and accommodating. I’ve now found my new favourite place to stay in Knysna!
