Cottage vacation rentals in Gauteng

A gorgeous location on a nature reserve with amazing sunrises and sunsets and the occasional spotting of game like Baboons and Zebra. Spacious accommodation with plenty of room to relax inside or out. Though rather spartan, it provides ample space and a great stove/oven for self-catering. Very quiet and relaxing and a great place for contemplation. Would be excellent for a family or group. I felt quite safe and relaxed. I would definitely come again.

Truly a lovely and peaceful cottage! It's got everything you need + a nice yard. I like how the place is close to the mall, the dam, restaurants, and Aerial Cableway. Pieter is a wonderful host and there when you need him; very nice and wants to share all he knows about the area. Will definitely book again soon. We had a lovely stay!

Comfortable and private space was exactly what we were after. Location was perfect for our family visit and Josephine ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. Will definitely stay again and Jo’s Eden has become a home away from home for us.

This B&B exceeded our expectations, we felt at home

If you want a break away in nature's best, this is definitely a place surrounded by beautiful lush trees, the tranquility from the river flowing, birds chirping and healing energy. The bonus is the private jacuzzi nestled on the ourside deck out on the elements.

Great stay, will be back

What a peaceful, beautiful and generous space. We had such a restorative, blissful, intimate time hanging out in this space for a weekend. Alan and his staff made us feel so welcome and comfortable.

Lovely host. Sam was always ready to help. A great quick getaway from Joburg 😊

We really enjoyed our weekend. It was so relaxing to chill in the hammock and watch all the birds and squirrels. Place was well equipped with no less than 3 places to braai. Great location in the quieter part of the reserve but still close enough to the shops and restaurants. Was a bit cold for us to use the pool but we'll be back!

Such a beautiful space and way bigger in person. Absolutely loved the host, such a sweetheart and very responsive. Definitely would book my second stay here ❤️

Everything was perfect — the space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was friendly and made the whole experience easy and stress-free. The location was great, and the home had everything I needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a great getaway and would love to come back again!

This Airbnb stay was truly exceptional. The host was thoughtful, supportive, and quick to respond, making the entire process seamless. The property was serene, beautifully maintained, and perfect for relaxing, with every detail carefully curated. The host’s attentiveness and helpful local tips enhanced the experience. Highly recommend for a peaceful retreat!

It was a pleasure staying here. The indoor fire place was lovely and Kevin and his family were very welcoming hosts. Highly recommended!

An absolute botanical Haven. The most peaceful Airbnb I have had the pleasure of staying in right in the middle of town. The house has old antique charm with a dick hole to match, beautiful private balcony that overlooks the gorgeous gardens. The support staff on the property are extremely helpful, friendly, and responsive when needed. The host is easy and friendly to communicate with making checking in and any changes and absolute pleasure have thoroughly enjoyed our time here will definitely book again.

Jean - Paul , was great host , place nice and very quiet, I like it , I recommend it .

Beautiful, peaceful cottage with everything you need. It’s close to Parys, but feels remote and secluded. Wonderful short hiking trails with fabulous views, and perfect for dogs. I would love to return soon and recommend to anyone wanting an “escape”.

What a wonderful experience! It was my first time booking on Airbnb and I am extremely impressed with Cecilia! She went above and beyond to accommodate me! Even with unexpected electricity interruption due to a major storm, she was pro-active in providing me with a charging point for my cellphone, battery lights as well as gas stove! I would definitely stay here again!

It’s very peaceful and quiet, clean it’s home away from home

I booked my family at Pascaline's place. It was clean, had safe parking, and they were able to cook themselves breakfast in the morning. I would book them in there again.

Perfect stay - beautiful location, friendly and helpful host, practical and comfy accommodation, exactly as described and excellent value for money. Highly recommended.

Petra’s place is absolutely stunning - the views and atmosphere are amazing. She is such a warm host. Always willing to help. The space is comfortable and we felt right at home.

Thank you, Ian and Hazel, for a wonderful stay. The place was spotless and cozy. perfect for one person to stay for a longer time. So close to shops and easy to get to highways. The area is quiet and very safe. I loved the little private courtyard with the water feature that was soothing. The shower is fantastic. And I felt very secure. Ian and Hazel are wonderfully warm and friendly hosts. I highly recommend their cosy spot. And I will be back for an extended stay when I visit my family in Jozi again next year.

Lovely, private space. More than big enough. Easy to get in and out. Immediate responses. Easy to find

A beautiful place to stay, where the world is so still and silent. A great retreat for me and my husband.
