Johannesburg Mountainside Garden Cottage

NovaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Guy & Tanya’s cottage was the perfect landing place for my first visit to South Africa as a Black & trans American writer. The quiet, sunlit mornings with birdsong helped me focus on reading & writing. The steep hill & stairs around the cottage got me back into lifestyle physical activity, which I appreciated. Everyone I interacted with, from the vigilant staff at the entrance gate to the warm neighbor & proficient housekeeper, added to the sense of comfort & safety. When I had an issue with the space heater, the hosts were responsive, & the heating blankets on the bed were clutch. One night I was startled by several barking dogs while walking back to the cottage & Guy quickly intervened, but most days I just saw their chill dog, Django. The hosts were generous throughout my stay, letting me use laundry detergent & even offering a ride to a local café after checkout. The location is also near lots of art & culture events. It was sucha grounding place, would absolutely book again!

Fields Cottage: Charming 4 sleeper cottage

DeanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Very quaint and cosy place to stay. Peaceful location with great views. Stairs to loft was quite precarious and would HIGHLY recommend a railing of some sort be placed as getting up and down was not ideal or easy due to sheer steap incline. Even our 8 yr old had difficulty going up and down. Bags ended up staying on the ground floor as getting them up was not possible without assistance

Relax, Unwind, Recharge in a Stunning, Secluded, Quiet Guesthouse in Bishops Court, Cape Town

JenRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We escaped the city for Rose Cottage early on in our holiday, I was in need of the quiet serenity of the suburbs and Anthea’s home met all my needs and expectations. A slice of heaven in leafy floral Bischopscourt - just off from the Botanicsl Gardens. The perfect peaceful home to get away from the hustle and bustle, gorgeous pool area - and we LOVED Jordy the little dog coming to see us on a morning. We felt totally at home. Thank you so much Anthea.

Fisherman's Cottage

PoppyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
The sweetest cottage within walking distance of Scarborough beach. Beautifully decorated and very private, we had such a lovely couple of days. Lisa couldn’t have been more helpful and her lovely daughter Eva kindly offered to babysit our two children which was a lovely break after two full on weeks on the move! Scarborough itself is a lovely village with great local shops and an amazing Italian restaurant. Hopefully one day we will be back!

The Lavender Studio Jbay

GregRating, 5 stars4 days ago
I had the best trip in Jeffrey's. Jessica's accommodation was perfect. The information provided and set up was spot on. Jessica helped me with suggestions of where to visit and advice when I asked. But also, Jessica left me to myself to enjoy the space and relax. I would recommend Lavender Studio to anyone. The location is right in town near cafes and restaurants. I was surfing every day, and walking to Supertubes. I enjoyed the walk but it's a solid 30 minutes walk. If you have a car, easy done. garage on-site. Easy day trip to Addo elephant park also. Thank you Jessica for your hospitality.

Lemon Tree Cottage (Solar/Inverter)

AliRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We stayed for 9 days and were working from the cottage most days. The space was perfect for what we needed - clean, cozy , with all the right ammeneties. If you're a coffee drinker, the options are great. The TV works with all streaming apps, and there are plenty of good desk spaces to work from if you are working remote. The garden is beautiful and great for eating outside or relaxing in the sun. There are grocery stores and cafes in walking distance. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive.

We had a wonderful stay at this peaceful cottage. The setting is absolutely stunning – it was the perfect escape from the city, offering a quiet and restful atmosphere. Philna’s cottage was cozy, well-equipped, and thoughtfully laid out, with everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. We especially appreciated the privacy and beautiful surroundings. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind in nature!

Cape Point Mountain Getaway - Hideaway

EstelleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Perfect spot for a Retreat for One. Amazing views! It felt like I was staying in a hiking cabin (with more amenities) - secluded, surrounded by nature - but I only had to hike 50 meters to experience it 😊. Loved the outdoor shower and the compost toilet was spotless and odour-free. I'd love to go back!

DianaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
No complaints Definitely recommend this stay! My family and I needed a last minute booking & Madeleine responded very quickly and efficiently. Very communicative and accommodating host. The cottage itself is exactly as show in photos & stocked with everything you will need. Very comfortable, perfectly clean, safe and secure. My kiddos appreciated the mini picnic table and children’s dish-ware. Great for short term or longer term stay.

Camps Bay chic home with great views near beach

ClaudiaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful stay here. The house itself was spacious (even more so than the photos), clean and beautifully presented. The beds were comfy and with lovely linen, there was a well equipped kitchen, we loved the outside fire pit area and we really enjoyed the views. The location was great, just a few minutes' walk from the beach and restaurants, but just far enough away to be quiet and private. We would definitely recommend this Air BnB and hope to stay again.

Sarita’s place is perfectly situated — away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet conveniently close to town. It’s a charming tiny home with everything thoughtfully arranged. We especially loved the beautifully designed bathroom, and having access to Netflix was a great bonus.

What a gem of place it is. Saira and the ladies are exceptionally amazing. I stayed with my family including my son (toddler) for 2 weeks and we felt right at home. Thank you for accommodating us Saira. I’ve found a home away from home.
