Bliss on the Bay - Beach Road Condo Surf Spot
Place was super clean, neighbour's were super quiet and everything in the flat worked. bath was super awesome and then falling asleep listening to the ocean was amazing. Even though it is right next to the main road, only really heard traffic in rush hour. Definitely will stay again when needed.

The Lookout
Highly Recommended! We had an great stay at this beautiful home nestled along the scenic coastline of St. James. The views of the ocean were absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunrise, and being just a short walk from some tidal pools and Muizenberg Beach was a huge bonus. The host was exceptionally welcoming and attentive, offering great recommendations for restaurants, things to do, and hidden gems in the area. We would love to go back!

Mountain View self-catering directly on the beach
This place is a hidden gem, wish we stayed longer. Thank you Iris.

Sunset at Granula
Mark and Alisa were amazing! They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We broke down a few minutes away and Mark was quick to aid us by fetching my family and luggage while I waited for the tow truck. I have to give a huge shout for this act of kindness. Thank you once again. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back God willing.

Commuters Haven (with solar)
The place is beautiful, in a quiet and safe neighbourhood and with such a great host in Rachael. My dad had such an awesome stay here. We will definitely be recommending it for all our guests coming from out of town. Thanks so much Rachael for being such a professional and being so friendly. Bravo!

The Lobster Pot - Simons Town Holiday Cottage
Incredible views! Thank you Sue for sharing your little piece of paradise with us :) A cosy cottage with everything you need. We had such a fun + relaxing weekend - loved the peace + quiet, and exploring along the rocky shoreline... even saw an octopus! Can't wait to stay again.

Bayview
We had an amazing time enjoying what must be the best view in all of Pringle Bay. Such a short walk to the beach and to shops and restaurants too. Ali was a great host and we felt right at home. From the balcony we saw whales, a mongoose, loads of beautiful birds in the fynbos, and of course a few baboons ☺️ thank you for such a wonderful stay, we’d love to be back some time!

* Beach Nest + outdoor shower at Strand Main Beach
This is a fantastic 5-star Airbnb! It was a treat for the whole family and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Kim and Petri were excellent hosts and they really care for their guests. I wish them many more years of happy hosting with wonderful guests that will appreciate this wonderful space that they created for others to enjoy.

Backup Power! Stunning Beachfront Ocean Views!
We loved Colin's place very much, it felt like a second home to us, it was really really beautiful. Colin was easy to communicate with and even checked in on us via message to see if we needed anything. Will definitely be staying here again!

Perfect Beach Getaway
We stayed at this lovely place for two weeks and felt at home immediately. Very spacious and cozy 2-bdr/2bath with spectacular views and sounds of the ocean just across the road from the beach. Very convenient underground parking; supermarkets, stores, restaurants either in walking distance (or easy 5min drive). Cape Town only 30min away. James and his family were the most wonderful hosts we've ever had, extremely friendly and helpful at all times. We'll definitely be back soon! Thank you so much for these unforgettable memories.

Seaside Sanctuary
Beautiful house and caring hosts.

Seas the Day |Beach Front |Wi-Fi
This apartment was a fantastic find! The apartment was beautifully decorated and had a wonderful aesthetic. I especially appreciated that it was fully equipped with all the necessary utensils and crockery. The spacious rooms were a real bonus, and having a balcony with a stunning beach view was just incredible. Plus, the convenience of being a short walk from the beach made it the perfect location. It truly looked exactly like the pictures on the listing, which was a pleasant surprise. Highly recommend!

Stunning ocean view house with indoor pool
such a wonderful place, you can never regret making this booking. what a pleasure 🙏

Spacious, upmarket 1 Bed unit with beach access
Great location and beautiful apartment.

Boulders seaside home with pool and views!
House is in an area we know well. Love the walkability to the beach/penguins and the even a simple food option for breakfast and lunch. A short drive or longer walk gets you many more options. House has great bed linens, lots of social space, and, of course, a pool... critical for us. Yes, we'd love it to be heated, but South Africa rarely heats pools, and it's always going to be warmer than the ocean. Home also has one indoor garage space, and a driveway that can accommodate at least 3 more cars. Communication regarding arrival and departure and the offer of help during our stay was excellent. We fully intend to be back.

Strand Beach Lodge a luxury villa on the beach!
We were three couples from the same family and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had plenty of room and each had their own space - in truth this marvelous house could accommodate more people. The views, peaceful ambience, and sound of the sea are quite stunning with the Greenways Estate totally secure with lovely walking tracks. It was a short 15-20 minute drive to great vineyards with multiple superb dining options, plus some very good restaurants in Strand itself. The house itself had every amenity we could wish for - cooking and braii facilities, hot tub, DSTV and very good broadband. I would absolutely recommend it - a great property in a magnificent location. Madrie, the property manager was extremely helpful and very pleasant in every way.

Luxury Beach Cottage
Beautiful beach house, perfect location. Since we traveled from abroad it would have been helpful to have beach chairs and beach towels and a laundry line. But we had a wonderful time anyway. Thank you

Villa by the sea
We had a fabulous week and a bit in Maureen's lovely Woodbridge Island home. The house is spacious yet homely and we were very comfortable and had everything we needed. The outdoor area is very pretty and secluded and we enjoyed sitting out there in the evenings. Maureen is a warm and friendly host and always happy to help with any queries. We hope to visit again in the future!

Sea Breeze Beach Home in Melkbosstrand, Cape Town
We had a wonderful stay!! The house was beautifully furnished, clean, and had all the needed amenities. Our host gave clear instructions and checked up on us throughout our stay. Perfect for a family gathering!! We would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Melkdives
There is nothing quite like falling asleep & waking up to the sounds of the sea. Rachelle's beach home is the epitome of South African West Coast style, especially the outside living area under the verandah. The inside is incredibly charming and every room is very well appointed. We enjoyed whiling away the hours, watching the world go by, waves rolling in, breathtaking sunsets followed by gazing at the Southern stars. Melkbos has a wide arrange of restaurants, most within walking distance and the supermarkets & shops are just 5 mins drive away for self catering options and sunset braai's. Whether you like to walk along the beach collecting shells or go surfing, the options are endless. The Swartland wine region is easily explorable from here as is central Cape Town. Such a wonderful relaxed environment, and next time we will be sure to stay for 2 weeks instead of just one.

Melkbos ocean-front house
It was wonderful stay, beautiful sea views, lovely restaurants, apartment well equipped. The only negative was that the floors needed a good clean

78 Beach Road - Seafront luxury bliss
78 Beach Road is an absolutely beautiful place to stay. We stayed for 4 nights (2 adults and 1 teenager). It’s spacious, calm and has everything you need. We visited after a week in Cape Town so we’re ready to relax, with the ocean views and sound of the waves it was perfect. We enjoyed using the indoor Braai, the plunge pool in the garden and evening walks along the rock paths. There is so much to do in the area especially if you have a car including zip lines, shark/whale watching, hiking, beach days, penguins, botanical gardens, local wildlife and much more, it’s a beautiful landscape. The owner was very responsive when we had questions we all felt safe and comfortable. We would love to stay here again it was perfect.

Cozy Seaside Living 400m from Melkbosstrand beach
We had a wonderful time, thank you. Elana and the cleaning company were fantastic to take care of any small need..

The Cape Muse @ Sunset on Hill Beachfront Apt
Words cannot explain how beautiful Belinda's apartment is, 10/10!! Belinda also pays attention to details. She has game boards for you to play with your friends and family, free wine, and a bottle of water. These are things you don't get in most of the BnBs. She also respond in time and she's very friendly and helpful. The check-in and checkout was very easy! 10/10 I tell you!!
