Family-friendly vacation rentals in Oudtshoorn

Livingstone Villa is tucked up the hill directly above the village of Wilderness. It offers fantastic ocean views from multiple terraces and is a quick walk to restaurants, shops and a grocery store. The villa is tastefully furnished with a luxurious primary suite. We did not use the other bedrooms, but the floorplan is a great setup for 2 couples or a group of friends. The kitchen is well equipped, and we enjoyed many meals there. We even used the indoor BBQ grill. Highly recommended, I would not hesitate to book again.

This wooden house with its large balcony, tucked away in the bush creates a lovely feeling of seclusion in Ballots Bay. The house has everything that you need, is full of character, and conjures up feelings of nostalgia with its decor and remnants of previous family holidays. We enjoyed the walk to the private beach (though some people might prefer to drive) and some of the pristine hikes marked in the welcome guide. The jacuzzi was fantastic on chilly nights! Lovely spot for escaping the rush without going far.

We had a lovely stay celebrating a friend's birthday. One suggestion would be to equip the kitchen with a few more platters and larger serving bowls to enable cooking and serving larger groups of people. Also perhaps some lamps in the lounge to create more ambience. It was either very bright lights while eating at the dining table / sitting in the lounge or in the dark with just the kitchen lights as lighting. Other than that we had a lovely stay and highly recommend your establishment for a comfortable stay for large families.

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!

Absolutely loved our stay. Beautiful cottage with thougtfull touches. Enjoyed the privacy and silence. Wished we stayed longer and certainly will be back! Zelma was an excellent hostess.

Jeff is a wonderful host, amazing person, the venue is more than I expected to be honest, and the people of De Rust are amazing people. The people is what made the stay valuable, anyone can build accomodation and hot tubs etc, but Noone can just build a character,and De Rust,along with Jeff, is full of it.

We enjoyed a very peaceful stay at Cango retreat with a lot of friendly animals on site and in a beautiful location.

We had the most delightful stay last weekend in Prince Albert! "The Olive Thrush Cottage" exceeded our expectations in the small town of Prince Albert. The home is lovely, well appointed, yet comfortable and dog friendly. Riaan was a gracious hostess, and very prompt with communication. The cottage was spacious and the interior decorating very tasteful. Added delights, a super king bedroom which was perfect, outdoor shower and private courtyard for our doggie. The little cottage deserve more then the one night we stayed there. A incredible stay and the highlight of our trip. 5 STARS all round, thank you Riaan!

This house is a work of the finest art. Beautiful curiosities in every corner, lovely garden. Do yourself a favour and stay here. We loved buying some Karoo lamb and braaing it in the kitchen fire place. They really understood the venturi effect in the 1800s when it was built; the indoor fire, local produce and exceptional gas range are a cooks dream. Not to mention the local art and beautiful old architecture. 11/10.

Cathy is helpful, proactive, and a friendly host. The house is spacious, comfortable with a big garden that was ideal for my dog. The neighbourhood is quiet and walking distance to restaurants abd shops.

What an incredible stay! This little farmhouse in Prince Albert was everything we could have hoped for and more. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the stunning scenery and peaceful surroundings. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, making our stay feel truly special. Waking up to breathtaking views, enjoying the tranquility of the countryside, and unwinding in such a charming and well-kept space was just perfect. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking again. Highly recommended!

Anton was a very responsive and accommodating host. The place is tucked away in nature which means lots of serene sounds, peace and quietness. The place is decked out with all the basic cooking stuff, guides and books to really disconnect from our city lives. Only challenge was getting our small rental car over the driveway to the cabin. Highly recommended

The only reason I would not give five stars is because it was so incredible I wouldn't want to share. unfortunately my conscience won't let me, and I can only say I will be back as soon as possible!

Rita was so welcoming and friendly. The accommodation was so beautiful I wish we could have stayed longer.

Loved this AfriCamps. Very close to town, but feels very private and peaceful. Everything from check in to instructions was clear. I would highly recommend this space. Very neat and clean.

We loved everything about Candlewood Beach House and had the most wonderful time together as a family. From cosy dinners by the fire to watching the dolphins ride the waves from the terrace - every moment felt special. The setting is breathtaking, and the peacefulness of the estate made our stay even more memorable. Driving in, we were often greeted by wildlife roaming freely, which added to the magic of this place. It's a rare gem where nature and comfort blend perfectly. Thank you, Caroline, for sharing your beach house with us, and for being so responsive to any correspondence or questions we had. We would absolutely love to return in the nearby future!

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.

Gert is an excellent host, very responsive and helpful! The unit feels tranquil and secluded, yet is situated enroute all the must-do attractions Oudtshoorn has to offer. Our family had a wonderful stay at Africa Inn

We had a great one night stay on the farm. The house was private and provided more than you need. Great value for money. Thank you Berlinda.

Unbelievable views! Very well appointed and equipped! Everything is of good quality and high standard! Stunning central area to socialize and braai and read, or just stare out at the beautiful Karoo mountains! Loved the plaasdam! We will def be back, a super place to recharge the soul!

Thanks for an amazing stay, we felt very welcome, the stay was too short, but we will definitely return for a longer stay.

We had a wonderful stay in the appartment. Exceptionally well equipped, from there a beautiful view of the bay and Santos beach. Nice swimming pool. Our host Elizabeth was very caring and attentive.

Gorgeous house for the porch lover in your life! Accordion doors on the main floor allow for a fully indoor/outdoor living/dining/kitchen area that can handle as many people as you can put in it. Great pool and similar setup downstairs make for this feeling on both levels. I thiught we would miss the ocean view, but the birds and lake provide a great setting. Minimal to no highway noise. Rroms are likewise beautiful amd would be harder to leave if the main area wasnt so great. wraparound porches on the back of the gosue allow indoor and outdoor access. Host is super repsonsive and flexible (although obviously sometimes when others are coming there is only so much flexibility allowed). Response time was almost nil, she was super flexible, and helped with some odd requests. Worth the stay based on the porch, but also the great house generally (and they have a dryer, great for laundry after a few days camping!).
