Family-friendly vacation rentals in Gansbaai

Cosy and homely cottage. You can enjoy the hot tub and tanning privately as the cottages are far from each other. Cottage is clean and neat and it’s as advertised on the pictures. Comfortable furniture and even during load shedding, they provide rechargeable lights and stove is gas so you can still enjoy a cuppa.

Perfect spot for shark diving. The best sunset and view of the ocean

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Peaceful Getaway Surrounded by Nature" We had an excellent stay at Lucy’s place! Communication was smooth and timely, and the accommodation was just as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped. It was the perfect escape from the city, offering a peaceful environment surrounded by nature. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy a serene break.

The view of the ocean was unexpected and amazing. The back yard is sheltered and perfect for braai's. This house easily accommodated families travelling together. From this location you can do long walks, safe jogs and there is even a small little rock pool across the road where kids can play. Highly recommended.

Very comfortable villa in Voelklip, a short drive from the best Hermanus beaches. Outside Braai area is excellent with a choice of braai devices, and the outdoor shower was a highlight of grown-ups and children alike. For those with young children, just be aware that there is no enclosed garden so you will need to be on the lookout - although they will love the neighbourhood cat and the tortoises roaming the garden! Also no inverter so, other than the internet, load shedding will cause total power loss in the house (though gas hobs are helpfully immune). Therese couldn’t have been more helpful, very responsive and always resolving whatever we needed. All in all wonderful stay and would happily return

Perfectly wonderful charming home with delicious French flavour, clean and comfortable. Spectacular outdoor space with interesting and well tended garden. Loved the quiet evenings on the back veranda listening to the frogs and crickets. Cold splash in the "Hot tub" great fun.

The cottage was fantastic, beautiful setting with great privacy. You have a whole dam to yourself, walk in the vineyards, relax in the wood fire hot tub under the stars. No complaints, but do not plan to cook a lot of meals, the kitchen is small and washup area, we lit a braai outside and that was perfect. Definitely would recommend and return.

Very clean and comfortable home, located in scenic environment with excellent service. Accommadated all of our request, quick reponse. Very satisfied, well done Tohit

We had a wonderful stay at Leatitia’s place. Leatitia welcomed us warmly and we felt extremely relaxed and comfortable during our stay. The location is top class…walking distance to all the beaches within the Voelklip area. Long lazy afternoons enjoying the garden and Braai area. The snooker table was a wonderful fun addition. We will be back. Thank you Leatitia.

Waking up to a sea view was a treat, but the real surprise was discovering a cupboard full of old board games and puzzles I remembered from my childhood. We had such fun playing together as a family. Long beach walks, friendly chats with locals — it all added to the charm. It’s not fancy, but it’s full of heart. A magical spot by the sea, perfect for making memories with the kids.

Lovely home with excellent location close to the cliff path, Grotto Beach and Dutchies. Kitchen is very well equipped and caters to a lovely relaxed atmosphere and vibe. We had a great time however struggled with the sun in the mornings in the bedrooms with thin/shear curtains waking us up much earlier than we would’ve liked.

Vanessa’s house is hands down one of our best Airbnb experiences. The open plan kitchen and lounge area is wonderfully spacious. Great beds, linen & towels. An umbrella, beach towels, boogie boards & games to entertain kids. A kitchen with most things you’ll need for family dinners - even an air fryer & toastie maker. We’ll definitely be back.

Esther is a gracious host, very hospitable and helpful, and the apartment is very nicely situated, a short walk to the Cliff Path, beaches, and amenities. We felt comfortable and safe, and enjoyed all the conveniences, including a "braai" outside om the patio and a washing machine in the garage :-) Were we to return to Hermanus in the future, we would definitely like to stay there again!

Had the best farm stay. One of the best equipped places I have ever stayed at. The sunsets are beautiful and the walks are lovely. This place is perfect if you have a doggo. Lots of space to run in the encloses yard and some lovely swimming spots.

Elsja made sure we were warmly welcomed - Christmas decorations, gifts for our dogs and some fabulous treats for us! This is our 2nd holiday at the house and love the large rooms with plenty of light and fresh air - easy walks to the beach and the mountain. We will be back! Thank you.

Thank you so much, we had such a great time. The kids enjoyed the toys and games and we loved the view. Was an amazing place.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our stay at this countryside cottage was simply delightful! From the moment we arrived, the host was incredibly friendly and supportive, making us feel right at home without being intrusive. The apartment exceeded all our expectations—far more than what was listed and described! Surrounded by grazing sheep, playful otters, and charming chickens, it felt like a peaceful retreat. Yet, we were pleasantly surprised to find all the modern gadgets you could expect in a big city home, from a smart TV to an air fryer. The paraffin lamp added such a lovely, cozy touch to our evenings. We were genuinely sad to leave this little slice of paradise. If you’re looking for a unique and comfortable getaway, this is the perfect spot!

Such a beautiful and tranquil flat! I couldn’t take my eyes off the stunning big waves. Garth and Terese were incredibly welcoming and kind—they even baked us a delicious sourdough bread, which was amazing! Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hermanus. Thank you for hosting us.

Such a beautiful place. An awesome setting. The property is very well maintained. All necessary equipment or requirements fully met. Had a close encounter with a snake, which is not unexpected in the mountains. Flies a little troublesome. Again, not unexpected. Lovely pool. Would love to return in winter. Big fireplace. Would be an excellent place to write a book.

Love the stay! Will definitely choose the property again

An extremely well located and resourced family home for a holiday. Would love to have stayed longer in this lovely location. A home worth returning too

A true gem! We absolutely loved our stay at Kari’s rondawel. The view and location is perfect - and the lush lawn out the front of the house puts it a notch above the rest in the area. We loved our stay - we will be back!
