The Beaches - Garden Cottage (Ground Floor Unit)
We had a lovely stay. It was wonderful waking up to a view of the ocean. The stretch of beach in front of the unit is beautiful, gorgeous spot for morning coffee.

Beachfront Apartment @ SeaSpray
Great location and view looking across road to beautiful beach stretching many kilometers, excellent for long walks; equipped with all the basics; nice coffee shop right across from entry gate. Lots of restaurants within walking distance, supermarkets too. Internet/wifi worked well, inclusion of Netflix was added bonus. We were family of 5 with kids and were very comfortable. Easy to find with secure parking. Others noted road noise, but it honestly didn't bother us. Highly recommend for beach getaway. April was good time for visit.

Beachfront cosy house, Dolphin coast, Tinley Manor
Philippe's attention to detail and consideration for his guests made this stay even more special. The home exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to returning!

Beachfront Condo with Incredible Sea Views
I must say this has been the absolute best Air Bnb experience we have had - and we have had some really great stays at others. From the time of booking the hosts went out of their way to ensure we got what we needed and more so - even to the extent of buying an air fryer for our stay prior to us arriving. Place was spotless as per the photos, Hosts were great ! everything was there - milk in the fridge, plenty of utensils , sugars, tea and coffee! it really was like being home away from home and there is nothing we could fault! We will definitely look to book this place for our next stay in PE!

Beach Break @ Umdloti
The unit exceeded our expectations we really enjoyed ourselves and located right on the beach, Tom and Grant the best hosts ever they communicated well with us to the point that the directions they sent took us straight to the main gate….unit was clean and we’ll definitely come back soon.
Homes in South Africa

Mod home in secure estate in canals.
We had a great time staying at this place. It was clean, spacious and close to all vicinities. It was in a very safe and secure complex that we were able to take our newborn for walks. It included everything we needed and a few extras that we won’t normally get - e.g. air fryer, Nespresso machine, including pods, le creuset utensils. Easy check in and check out.

Heron House - self-catering with pool
Great house for a family get together. Large patio with outdoor bbq/braai. Lovely pool. Lots of space to spread out.

Solar Power|150m to 4th Ave shops|Pool|Fireplace
We felt right at home during our stay - the space was warm, beautifully set up, and had everything we needed, including more than enough blankets to keep us cozy. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made everything so seamless from start to finish. Thank you for such a lovely experience - we’d definitely love to return!

Celine's Place. 3 Bedroom Home on Golf Estate
We had a great stay and felt right at home. Celine was amazing and made sure we knew everything we needed to know.

Newly renovated townhouse within a secure estate.
This was our second stay at Jacquie's place. The townhouse's location is ideal if you like privacy and peace. Inside everything is neat, and everything you need is there, including coffee maker and air fryer. The air-conditioner is sufficient to cool the whole unit and an evaporative cooler is available when needed. Everything was in place and easy to find. There were clear instructions to use everything, including the generator. I would definitely recommend it, even for longer stays. Thanks again Jacquie for making everything so easy and comfortable.

Newly renovated, dreamy 3 bedroom house with Solar
The most amazing house in a fantastic location! We loved everything about it - the decor, the pool. Wonderful house and amazing host. Thank you. We’d love to stay there again if we came back to Franschoek.

Peaceful and Pet Friendly Family Home🏡
Lovely stay in Vermont. It’s always great finding a dog-friendly place that is beautiful for humans and really dog-friendly - I.e. a secure back garden. It was a lovely home, great space, super amenities and well-located. Thank you - we will be back.

House Vos, luxury family holiday home
The house was neat and tidy and the bedding was super soft. We had a very good stay and appreciated the housekeeper coming in mid stay to do a linnen swap for us. Would recommend.
Lake homes in South Africa

Bel Lago, Swartvlei Lake, Sedgefield
I am a returning guest to Michelle's place and absolute satisfaction. Well done.

Lakehouse Noordhoek Western Cape
A lovely property in the Lake Michelle Eco Estate. Very peaceful and close to Noordhoek village, Fish Hoek & Kalk Bay. Great location and very safe environment.

Lagoon Retreat: Tranquil haven in Hermanus
Our second stay at this place. Very clean and neat. Beautiful bathrooms. Host very responsive as was he the first stay. Our only complaint is there is no braai dishes and we braai every night, but the host has undertaken to acquire these for our third visit! We will definitely stay here again.

12 Spinniker on water
Heather is a great host quick to reply and goes out of her way to make your stay perfect. We have stayed in two of Heather's properties and both have been well equipped and exceptionally clean. We will hopefully be back next year. I highly recommend any property that Heather is hosting.

The Lakehouse Retreat
Sian was a fantastic host, very responsive to our queries during the stay. The house itself was just what we needed for us and our little ones. Our toddler had SO much fun at this house and didn’t want to leave.

Bass Lake Bliss
Tim's place in Betty's Bay is in a great location close to Bass Lake (walkable) and a short drive to the beach. It has beautiful sea views and plenty of space. The kitchen and lounge is open plan and the kitchen is large and very well equipped. The beds are comfortable and there were plenty of towels and linen. This is an amazing spot with plenty of accommodation and three bathrooms, perfect for a large group.

a taste of golfing paradise
Great, welcoming, comfortable stay.

Kosmos Home with a view.
Had a great stay and the house is exactly as described and pictured. Lots of great spots to visit within a short drive and the location on the lake was perfect.
