Family-friendly vacation rentals in Garden Route District Municipality

I can't wait to return. The serene farm stay was perfect for a family break from the city's hustle and bustle. There was a sprawling lawn for the kids to enjoy themselves, and the crate of bats/balls, etc., was put to good use. It is eye-opening to see what the city kids are missing. The hike to the river was amazing, and not once did the kids have a chance to even think of saying they were tired, as nature kept them guessing around every corner. Linda was amazing from the initial communication post-booking until after checkout. Genuine farm hospitality!

Magical oasis in a beautiful setting. Everything is so well thought out. Beautiful interior decoration staying true to its aim of being sustainable. The bed is probably the most comfortable bed I’ve slept in away from home. Even the toiletries smelt amazing. The outdoor area is also spectacular. Best shower I’ve had under the stars. I would most definitely come back. Zelma also booked us in for dinner at Bread&co across the valley (2 mins away) and the food was amazing. Everything was superb and it’s been one of the most special stays I’ve had. Worth every penny!

We had a great stay, stunning views.

A Truly Magical Escape – Frog Mountain Stole Our Hearts Wow, some places truly touch your soul, and Frog Mountain is one of them. You can feel the love, care, and passion that Gabriela has poured into creating this magical retreat. Our stay was nothing short of incredible. From the joy of walking up to the labyrinth and witnessing a breathtaking sunset to the pure exhilaration of squealing down the foofy slide—every moment felt special. We loved hiking to the waterfall and rock pools, immersing ourselves in nature’s beauty. Our cozy rondavel felt like a warm hug after each day of adventure. The charm of Frog Mountain extends beyond the landscapes—it’s in the horses grazing peacefully, the cows wandering the fields, and the symphony of beautiful birdsong each morning. Swimming in the river was a refreshing delight, and every corner of this place felt like a gift to the soul. We are deeply grateful

Ingrid has crated a beautiful home that makes you feel right at home.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful – we felt at home right away. Everything was beautifully arranged, spotless, and full of thoughtful details. The view was stunning, and watching the stars at night was truly magical. Breakfast at “The Blue Cow” was delicious and super cosy. Hannette was warm, helpful, and made us feel truly welcome. We’d come back anytime – thank you so much!

Wish we could have stayed longer - pure paradise! We loved every second here, especially falling asleep to the sound of the stream outside the cottage! Thanks for a lovely stay 😊

Our stay in the river lodge was amazing! The weather was great so we could directly jump in the river for a swim every day! At the afternoon (high tide) the river is soooo damn beautiful! Blue color like the ocean and perfectly soft sand. The perfect place for a beach day. I spent like 5 hours in the water every single day. Moreover you can explore the river with the boats and kayaks from the lodge without any extra cost. What an amazing place to spend some nights! Will definitely come again one day! 🥰

Great stay in Wilderness at Marianne's well kept cottage. My wife, pup and I spent 4 great nights and had everything we needed. It's a quick hop into town and the unit was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

This is truly a hidden gem. Tucked away in beautifoul suroundings, the House is spacious, cozy and has Everything and more of what you need. We especially enjoyed the porch und spend Hours enjoying the views and nature around us. We had a lot of Plans for the area (Robberg Island is a Must!), but ended up spending much more time at the house than planned. We had a marvelous time and would advice anyone to Book this wonderful place!

5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

This was one of the best air bnb stays we’ve ever had! Beautiful quiet place with everything you could need. Can’t recommend it enough!!

Super simple and rustic, a perfect close-to-nature escape with great facilities. The surroundings and closeness to nature makes this place incredible.

Great stay, great place

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

We had a lovely stay at Favour Farm! The peaceful atmosphere and beautiful views made it a really relaxing getaway. Another unique touch was getting to make our own hot water in the donkey, which added a bit of rustic charm and made the stay feel even more authentic. The farm is well-kept and the surroundings are absolutely stunning — perfect for anyone wanting to disconnect and enjoy some fresh air and natural beauty. Would definitely recommend Favour Farm to anyone looking for a quiet and memorable break!

Very good value for money. Safe area. Prompt responses by the hosts. Will book again and recommend for anyone.

The house was absolutely fabulous. We were 8 people and the house has plenty is space to comfortably accommodate all of us. It is also tastefully decorated. The neighborhood was completely safe and near many attractions including restaurants. We highly recommend the place and would not hesitate for one minute to book the place again. This was one of the best places I have ever rented on Airbnb. Thank you Kirsten

Lovely unit, very well and considerately stocked with milk, tea, coffee, etc. Comfiest couch ever! Highly recommended.

The place was cosy and comfortable, perfect for a relaxing stay. The host was incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The accommodation was fully equipped with everything we needed, making it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

An Unforgettable Stay – Truly 5 Stars in Every Way! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Lindsey’s place is something truly special. Every detail — and I mean every detail — has been thought through with care, elegance, and heart. The space was impeccably clean, beautifully styled, and incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need (and lots of things you didn’t even realise you’d want until you saw them!). Lindsey and her husband are warm, welcoming, and attentive without ever being intrusive — the perfect hosts. Their thoughtful touches made us feel not just comfortable, but genuinely cared for. From luxurious linens and high-end amenities to local tips and personal instructions, the experience was seamless and filled with joy. If you’re lucky enough to book a stay here, prepare to be spoiled. It’s not just accommodation — it’s an experience. Thank you, Lindsey, for making our visit unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Beautiful place on the river. The house has everything you need and the complex has good amenities (tennis, squash, swimming pool).

Beautiful. The view from the deck was just breathtaking. the ( pool) snooker table and table tennis was a winner. Swimming pool stunning is stunning. It was just too cold for swimming. The bookshelf is amazing. Much to choose from

Great value for money and to be honest the pictures don’t do it justice - was an awesome property and we’ll be back. Great location even better views - ticked all our boxes perfectly!
