Marina Beach House
Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Beach Holiday Home, Southbroom. Solar Power & H2O.
very nice place,very clean and well maintained. next time I go to the south coast I'll definitely use this place. i can say value for money i fact mo ey is less than the value

Luxury at 230 (House)
An absolutely wonderful experience. Two of us stayed for a month while working at a hospital locally, and it was perfect. Even before we arrived Nikki gave lots of useful information about local weather and things to do. Nikki and Tom were so kind and helpful, meeting us when we arrived and making sure we were settled in and had everything we needed. They were responsive throughout our stay and really made us feel at home, as well as giving lots of great recommendations of things to do and places to go. The house and pool are well kept and feel very safe and private as it’s back away from the main street. Overall would highly recommend.

31 on Waller (Solar back up)
I had such a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was super convenient, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. The host Edwin was really responsive and helpful with any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

Modern Contemporary Zen Tree With Sparkling Pool
What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Hoogwater Cottage
We loved the little space we had for ourselves Although it is busy with workers right behind our space which means no walking around naked 😅 but hot tub and grass patch was exactly what we needed for a quick getaway And it is still somewhat private and definitely feels peaceful Maybe an AC for hot summer days would be great We loved it and would recommend

Orchard Stay
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Orchard Stay, and it was an unforgettable experience. The house is exceptionally spacious and well-appointed, providing all the comforts one could desire. The hot tub combined with a pond is a gem! The self check-in process was seamless. The surrounding orchards create a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway in a beautiful setting.

Tuscan Villa near Cape Town
Very beautiful place to stay, felt at home right away. Has loads of space. Very peaceful and quiet. Didier was very helpful and responsive. Awesome property!

Nirvana Cottage
Nathan’s place was the perfect location for our family of four to explore Capetown. The cottage is cosy with all the necessary amenities m, and we felt right at home. Nathan is a friendly and approachable host that made us feel very welcome, and he had a ton of local suggestions and tips on where to visit. The neighbourhood felt very safe and family friendly, there is a lovely playground across the street, and a shopping village/ mall 5 minutes drive- it truly is the perfect location for a short or longer term stay in Capetown and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

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.

Casa La Robertson
I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Ruby Sun Farm Cottage
Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

Hermitage Huisies: Guinea Fowl Cottage
What a gem! Perfect location offering the best of both worlds - the serenity of a countryside setting and natural surroundings, yet a 5 minute drive into town for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. With breathtaking views of the mountains and farm (complete with horses, sheep, donkeys and more) from your patio, ample birdsong, a spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped, cozy cottage with an incredibly comfortable bed and enormous shower - one couldn't ask for more! Nadia is a kind, thoughtful and attentive host...I cannot wait to stay here again :)

Clean House Stilbaai
A beautiful spot right on the beach. The view is spectacular. The house has everything your heart desires. We really enjoyed our stay there. Five stars and more. Safe and well worth it. Dominique was a great host. We will definitely be back!

Yield house on Beach road
Cosy place with breathtaking view. We enjoyed our stay. Very spacious and clean.

Wild, off-the-grid, style & comfort solar-powered.
The view. It was stunning!! Horses walking past early in evening, a little pond for the dogs to swim in, lovely walks in the evening 🌟 It was lovely and peaceful! Just a warning- one of the far away neighbours has a dog that’s seems pretty aggressive, if you’re taking a doggo, just beware of that one! But that’s no reflection on how amazing the accommodation was! I’ll be back!!!

PLETTENBERG BAY's CASA da PAZ- AN AMAZING PLACE
It was a pleasure for us to stay at Lenas Place. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who also speak german. The place itself is close to the beach and only 7 minutes from the Robberg Nature Reserve in a secured area. If we would come back to Plett, we would book this apartment again. Thank you for the nice stay :-)
