Family-friendly vacation rentals in Herolds Bay

This Villa is something to behold. It has everything you could possibly want, views so breathtaking that you can’t stop looking and although there are a lot of stairs (excellent exercise), once you get to the house it is so private and tranquil that you just want to be there.

Can’t say enough about this amazing property and host. So beautiful— we wish we had planned a longer trip! And Jenny was very friendly and helpful. Great information on the area. Highly recommended!

A cozy place with an astonishing view of the bay. Instructions were very clear and the unit was spotless! Definitely worth the price. Could do with more lightning on the balcony.

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!

It was a beautiful place to stay at Lustine's place. The view of the waterhole and the animals was so great! Definitely recommend

We had a great stay, stunning views.

Unfortunately we had to cancel our trip to SA due to a medical emergency. We did have friends who stayed at Firewings and absolutely loved it. My son and his family also stayed there and also thought it was fabulous. The reports were so good that we plan to stay at Firewings next February (health permitting). John is a fabulous host. Nothing was too much trouble considering our change of plans and his response time was always swift. I could not recommend John or Firewings more highly.

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful home. Very peaceful sitting outside by the canal. The house is much bigger than what we thought it from the photos! A really great getaway!!

This house was worth every penny, from the surroundings to the house itself, it met every expectation and more. The host is also extremely friendly so we were all happy about the experience. Highly recommended.

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!

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!

wonderful farm setting to get away from the clutter - wish we had more time to explore the farms and surroundings. Amenities were excellent and as described. will always recommend to those interested.

Thank You for having us over. It felt Like Home and we really appreciated and followed the tips your husband gave us.

Myrtle was everything we expected it to be and we were blessed with awesome weather for the few days we spent on the boat. Slept like a baby after witnessing brilliant sunsets. Thank you Jules for

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.

such a little gem of a place surrounded by garden. so peaceful and quaint. easy driving distance from town and beaches. Lara was friendly and we really enjoyed our stay here

Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

lovely little cottage that is so beautifully decorated. The outside areas are so beautiful and there is a lovely water feature just outside the door which makes the whole area just feel so soothing and definitely not like in the middle of a big city! I was traveling through Knysna with a vehicle full of things as I am relocating and Lesley even made space in her garage so that I could safely park my car in it as the vehicle couldn't lock. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone! lovely accommodation and a super lovely host!

We had a really enjoyable stay as a family. We were there for the IronMan event and it was a great location to get to everything. Would definitely recommend!

I enjoyed the attention paid to details of what would make the experience of staying there more comfortable. Cherry is kind and a wonderful host! I felt right at home.

This is really a small house with all the things you need for a holiday in the mountains of Hoekwil. Walkable to the village centre. Nestled in the garden with a great sense of privacy and a view of the mountains through trees. We only spent a night on a stop-over, but I imagine it would be a great space for friends or a small family to hang out together.

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

Fabulous views, so peaceful and definitely a great place to unwind in. Amelia and Trevor were very welcoming and accommodating

We loved the place, just what we needed and really enjoyed the house and the view. Will definately be back in Summer.
