Vacation rentals with lake access in Cape Winelands District Municipality

We had an amazing stay. Natasha was a wonderful host and went over and beyond to give us the best experience. She was extremely patient with all our questions and very accommodating. We loved the house. It’s much bigger than it looks on the photo and very well organised and kitted out. The house is in such a beautiful setting and it feels very peaceful. Lovely waterfall walks and swimming in the river is very enjoyable. We did hear the campers more than we would’ve hoped but that really is the only con.

Absolutely stunning! Peaceful and relaxing, beautiful area, something to experience.

Our family had a lovely, relaxing break here. The kids had a ball in the pool and garden and the WiFi was great so everyone was happy. I especially appreciated the little decorating touches and the charming deck. Would definitely recommend it.

We loved our stay at La Bruyère farm. The scenery is perfect for relaxing as a family and the decoration is done with great taste. The hot tub and the fireplace were perfect for the chilly evening and the dam to refresh during the warm day.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this lovely cottage. Such a stunning view all around and great for some nice walks in nature and trail runs.

Lovely and peaceful getaway, with extra attention to detail to make one feel right at home.

Really beautiful cottage on a stunning vineyard. Daphne was so accommodating with checkin and super responsive with all questions. We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay again!

What a great home! The house has plenty of space, and lovely places to sit inside and outside and relax. The bedrooms were comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the private pool area, and the seating outside near the dam . We wish we could have stayed longer. Thank you Elena. We would stay here again.

This was exactly as described. We were a group of girls and found it extremely safe. The host was incredibly responsive and so helpful with any request or question we had. The view over the lake is also absolutely beautiful, can’t get anything better.

Absolutely loved the 2 bedroom apartment and Renato’s special treats and touches were so lovely. Great great place and booking again for next year.

a lekker plaas break away. an easy to reach break away to the peaceful Ceres valley. up in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. the accommodation was excellent with loads of space for the family. there were a great hike up the mountain with incredible views. Carli share loads of information and we could get immediate responce on any questions. It was a great stay and a definite revisit on the list.

Leanne is great host. She will respond immediately if you contact her. Ht apartment is lovely, spacious and clean. In addition, a nice covered terrace and spacious garden. We immediately felt at home. Recommended.

Such a beautiful place, so peaceful and green. Lariez and her lovely family greeted us and made us feel so welcome. It was great to meet to them. The accommodation was exactly what we needed and very well equipped. Their garden is really stunning. They gave us some great local recommendations and couldn’t have been more accommodating, even taking our 1yr old to meet their chickens while we packed up to leave. Couldn’t recommend more highly. Thanks for having us!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Nina’s place in Franschhoek! Nina is such a lovely host who has thought about every last detail to make her guests feel at home. The house is incredibly cosy, beautifully decorated, and perfectly located to enjoy the stunning Winelands. Everything we could possibly need was provided, making it a seamless and relaxing experience. We’ll definitely be back and can’t wait to stay again—highly recommended!

We had a wonderful time, the apartment had everything we needed, and we loved the balcony and the amazing views! Both for breakfast in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Julie was very friendly and really quick to respond to any questions we had. Would definitely stay again.

What a lovely space. I wish I had stayed longer to explore the beautiful surroundings. Great for someone who is active (could go running, cycling or hiking).

We had an absolutely fantastic time at Sukkel Sukkelf! The location is incredible and very private, offering breathtaking views of the rugged summits and far-reaching landscapes from the stoep. The only sounds we heard were the gentle flow of the small stream behind the property, the lovely birds, and the occasional whisper of the wind— it was pure serenity. There are beautiful walks along the farm roads and a marked trail crossing the valley, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers. The three small buildings are simple yet quirky, beautifully furnished and designed, creating a charming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Everything was spotless, and the crisp linen made for cozy nights of snuggling. We had the perfect weekend here, finding the ideal balance of relaxation and exploring the farm. I highly recommend Sukkel Sukkelf to anyone looking to escape and recharge. We can't wait to return!

We had a great stay. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great as well. Would happily return!

My family and I stayed there for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. Nadia was communicating and made sure we had everything we needed. The cottages are beautifully located and not far from Swellendam (by car). We visited De Hoop Nature Reserve for one day which was stunning. The highlight of our stay was the wood-fired hot tub just next to our cottage overlooking a little pond. Would definitely stay there again!

We really had a great start to our vacation! It was wonderfully quiet, nice weather and the children enjoyed themselves for hours in the canoe in the dam. In the morning the zebras and the Springboks came to drink water, that was great to see. We enjoyed sitting in the hot tub in the evening and during the one hot moment in the afternoon we looked up the new swimming pool, this was nice and cold. The children were sorry we had to leave. If we ever come through this route again, we will definitely come back.

We loved staying at Rasberry Cottage at The Berry Guest Farm in the beautiful Hermitage valley in Swellendam! My children summed their stay up beautifully by saying that our two nights at The Berry Guest Farm felt to them like a week’s stay! Over and above the beauty that surrounded us (farm, mountains, forest, river) there was soo much activities to do for us on the farm Such as fishing, canoeing, water slides, 3 ziplines, walks in the enchanted forest incl. A swing bridge over the river and the highlight was the glow-in-the dark walking trial with UV torches through the enchanted forest with our host Henry, his beautiful dogs and the rest of the guests! Henry’s wife Elna ran the restaurant on the farm at the dam where we had the most delicious coffee, warm waffels with homemade berry compote, freshly baked rusks and freshly baked bread for our evening braai at the cottage! Thank you so much for a magical two days, we will surely visit again soon!!

Incredible setting, Steve was very welcoming and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable

Wow! We loved our stay at the cottage, it's quiet, the surroundings are beautiful and the house is well furnished. The hot tub and fireplace are definitely a great addition. I wish we could have stayed longer!

Thank you for taking such good care of my family! They keep telling me how much they enjoyed their stay. Your hospitality made all the difference—highly recommend!
