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.

Our stay here was beyond memorable with it's gorgeous view and ideal location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be making use of it again in the future!

Wake up to the waves !
I had an incredible stay at Dolly’s place! From the moment I arrived, I felt warmly welcomed. The space was not only clean and beautifully decorated, The location was perfect— beach view. the place is nice and peaceful enough for a relaxing retreat.

Front.On the beach.Tranquil. Charming.Inviting.
Our second time in the best location ever. The new renovations are just what the gem needed to make it more open. Especially the new covered deck in front overlooking the ocean with new built in braai. The best location because away from the main beach and so nice just to walk out the door with your surfboard under your arm and 1 minute later you are in the ocean. We will definitely be back very soon. Thanks a lot for and amazing week.

Absolute Beach - Beachfront House
A beautiful place with stunning views right on the beach. Our extended family could hang out together or find their own private space. An extremely short walk to a gorgeous beach. Hosts live nearby and were very friendly and helpful.

Luxurious 5 Bed, 5 ensuite, Beachfront Haven
We had an amazing time at this beautiful beach house in Yzerfontein! The house was stunning - beautifully decorated, spacious, and with spectacular views of the ocean.

Beachfront cosy house, Dolphin coast, Tinley Manor
It was peaceful and absolutely gorgeous, attention to detail is amazing, things like a cot for a baby, a baby bath, We loved it

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, Mountain & Pool side home - no loadshedding
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The house offers a beautiful view of Hout bay Harbour and Beach. You can easily and safely walk down the street to the beach, to the main road. We stayed as a family with a 2 year old child and had a wonderful stay. The equipment in the house was sufficient. The location is quite windy but that is Cape Town and Hout bay. Carrie was a great host and offered all the help You need. Thanks again!

Contemporary Barn style house
A stunning home with beautiful finishes; spacious enough to accomodate our party of 8. It has everything you need and such special care has been taken with special touches in the bathroom and kitchen. The large backyard also provided hours of fun for a game of boulle! Walking distance to the market and excellent coffee shops. Only thing to note is that the pool water is icey cold, given that no sunlight gets to it. But that aside, we will still no doubt book to stay again.

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.

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.

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.

SOUTHERN RIGHT - WHALE ROCK RIDGE, PLETTENBERG BAY
This villa is something special and highly recommended! I go Plett regularly and won’t think of anywhere else to stay in the future. Thanks to Jonathan and Beauty for taking such great care of us. We thoroughly enjoyed our week and will be back.

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.

VUYATELA, 57 Nkwazi Drive, Zinkwazi Beach
Our stay at the house was most pleasant, the close proximity to the beach & The Ski Boat Club was a winner. Overall we had a really great.

Lagoon Retreat: Tranquil haven in Hermanus
The house itself is stunning and elegantly decorated, with a great yard for dogs to run around safely in. Close to Arabella, Hermanus, Onrus Rivier, Kleinmond. There should however be a braai dishes and some more oven dishes for catering. Hosts were very responsive and answered questions within minutes. Great spot to use as a base to explore the area.

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.

Great location, superb views. Jonathan is a great host
