Vacation rentals in Elim

The historic Herbert Baker design provided a comfortable and homely space to dwell in. Our family felt at home immediately. Its was a privilege to have spent the few days at this property.

Amazing place very quiet area and peaceful and the host made sure to check in that everything was okay

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Simone and Arno’s place. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly friendly and responsive. Simone gave us a warm welcome and took the time to walk us through everything, which was super helpful. The place itself is beautiful—neat, tidy, and thoughtfully set up. The hot tub was a highlight for us, and we really appreciated Arno going the extra mile to set it up. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind. The location is fantastic— close to the beach and close to food stores, yet still so peaceful and quiet. It truly felt like a getaway. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

A beautifully designed home nestled in the heart of nature within the secure Romansbaai estate in Gansbaai. Offering a sense of seclusion and tranquility, with neighboring houses set several hundred meters away, yet conveniently located just minutes from Gansbaai village, where supermarkets and restaurants are easily accessible. A short walk leads directly to the very private beach. Elegantly decorated with high-quality furnishings in a muted colour palette, with breathtaking ocean views from every room. Probably one of the few homes in South Africa that faces north for optimal sunlight while also offering a stunning ocean & coastline view with distant mountains—ensuring a captivating nighttime landscape rather than darkness. Master bedroom, situated on a corner with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views. Thoughtfully designed (sheltered) indoor braai area. The host is exceptionally responsive and warmly accommodating! LOVE IT!

What an amazing house, great open plan for everyone to get together and private and quiet bedrooms down the corridor. Convenient outside flatlet for “the parents”. Fantastic overall the hiking and biking options at your doorstep and the beach a short drive or walk always makes this the perfect weekend getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sea Cottage and found the house very comfortable. The location is great, with a short walk down the seaside. The views of the sea and the mountains from the 2 balconies were the star of the weekend. We enjoyed spending time at Silversands beach and the Betty's Bay main beach. The house was very neat and tidy; the rooms were a good size and the layout was perfect. We had a nice lunch at Kabeljou's at the waterfront in Kleinmond, only a short drive away, and also walked around the local stores. We had a great dinner at The Cork, in Pringle Bay, also just a short drive away. I'll definitely be returning to the Sea Cottage, Ann was so helpful, and her communication was 10/10.

The accommodation has the most peaceful and spectacular views of lagoon, mountains and ocean. It is very small but I managed to keep my sanity with 2 teenage boys. I would definitely love to return. The house has everything you need. A little piece of paradise.

An unforgettable weekend! We spent the most wonderful weekend in this beautiful home, together with our dear friends and their two children. Everything was simply perfect. The house was stylish, comfortable, and equipped with everything we could possibly need — it radiated warmth and peace. The location, just outside of Hermanus, was ideal. Close enough to explore, yet tucked away in serene nature. We enjoyed every moment: the laughter, shared meals, walks, and the pure joy of slowing down together. The kids had all the space to play, and we had all the space to relax. Thank you to the hosts for creating such a special place. We felt at home from the very first moment. We’ll definitely be back!

Great stay in Franskraal. Beautiful views from the house, and the house is spacious enough. Everything is provided for, including little touches like bags of ice in the freezer, coal for the braai, fresh protea flowers and wood for the fire. Thanks for an excellent stay!
