Designer home with breath-taking views
We loved our stay in Pansy Shell. It’s a fabulous, open plan house with a lovely garden and pool and the most extraordinary view, must be the best in Plett. All communication was very easy, Cynthia looked after us very well, as did the security company (a faulty key meant we saw night watchmen a few times). We would definitely recommend this house and would love to return.

Bay Cottage, 10 River Club Mews. River Club
Another wonderful stay!

Leisure Isle Pool House
We loved our stay at the poolhouse! Check in was easy and Tom and his colleagues were always fast to respond if we had questions. There are some restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance and the house is perfectly located near the water. We traveled with two small children and would without hesitation stay at the poolhouse again:)

Thesen Island water lifestyle
We have spent many holidays on Thesen Islands over the years, renting multiple homes on multiple islands. We have now found the perfect home for us. What you arrive to is so much better than any description or picture and exceeded all of our expectations without exception. It's a stunning North facing location with a wonderful view up the main canal. The home is very well appointed and most notably, for us and for my wife, spotlessley clean. Also very notably we were supplied with the small things that make a big difference and give you a sense of generosity by the hosts; toilet paper, dishwasher tabs, sponges, washing powder, hand soaps etc (you'll be shocked how many home stays don't supply the small things). We are so appreciative to Ilsebe for sharing her lovely home with us. 2026 is already booked. Can't wait! The Farrells

High Street Cnr Villa
Cindy's place is great, with a wonderful outdoor entertainment and pool area. The kitchen was well equipped and bedrooms comfortable. Cindy was quick to reply to any queries or requests for assistance. Thanks Cindy!

Whale Rock Beach Villa Plettenbergbay
Best house we had ever stayed at! House is huge, modern and even more amazing than in pictures. Everything is comfortable, views are absolutely incredible, neighborhood is beautiful and safe, location is perfect. Susan is an excellent host. We wish to be back soon!!!

Old belvidere, 4 bedroom house with lagoon view
We stayed two nights and felt so rested and relaxed on the first day ! Amazingly peaceful and relaxing home. The pool was clean and a definite bonus. 10 out of 10 home to stay in. Morne is exceptional in managing this home and very friendly.

Park House - designer home 400m from the beach
A beautiful house set in a lovely location, close to the beach and restaurants but also very quiet and private. We had such a relaxing time and Renee was so very accommodating with all our requests . Both the external and internal living areas were impeccable in design and layout and at the same time very comfortable. I would highly recommend this property and in fact would love to go back when we are next in the area. Thank you Renee and Paul, such a lovely experience. Carrie

Island holiday house
Beautiful home with great ammenities. We loved staying there. It was so peaceful with lots to do around us. If we didn't want to go out we could braai and swim and ride bikes which was lovely. Would definitely reccommend staying there.

19 Hill Street
All that you need is available despite the smallness of the space, a clean, cooperative and quick answer

Fairway Avenue
Hanlie was such a great host from very first messages and throughout our stay. Her home is so peaceful, well equipped and has a great energy. Stunning indoor / outdoor feeling. Very well positioned, close enough to everything (including a stunning beach in walking distance) but also in a very quiet road in a quiet suburb. Would highly recommend.

Baha Sanctuary House - 3 Bedroom House with Pool
We absolutely loved our stay at the Baha sanctuary house and would definitely recommend this place. The beach was 800m as described and pet friendly. We enjoyed the fireplace and enough wood to light the fireplace in the evenings. George and Denekah were very responsive when we needed to swop the gas bottle. We received excellent instructions and the property manager came through within a half an hour to ensure that all was done correctly.

Escape to nature. Beach house & dog friendly.
We booked Sarah’s place last minute in order to extend our stay in Natures Valley and I’m glad we did because it was a great find and we’d love to come back and stay longer. The place is quiet and tucked away amongst the trees but still easy to get to the local amenities and the beach and lagoon. It’s beautifully decorated and taken care of. Sarah was easy to get hold of and sent a very informative house manual that told us everything we needed. Fantastic. Thanks for having us.

"our house"
We had an incredible stay. The house has everything you need. The braai area was a great area to relax. It is close to the beach, walking distance. We will definitely book again.

Waterfront Thesen Villa - Mooring, Pool & Inverter
From booking to checkout Doug and Carla were great hosts. Doug accommodated a late check-in, helped us register with security to access Thesen Island, and took us to the property for a walk-through. The home was spotless, incredibly spacious, and had every utility and modcon you need. A pleasant surprise was the addition of a pool between booking and arrival. The outside space and boat deck make for the ultimate Knysna vacation spent on the water. The restaurants and bars of Thesen Harbour Town are a 5 min walk. We will be back. Thank You!

Awesome family beach house 650m to Robberg 5 beach
What an amazing gem in the centre of Plettenberg Bay. We loved our stay for four nights. Great location, lots of space in the house for privacy and entertaining. Modern kitchen and outdoor area. Well priced considering all the place has to offer. Would definitely stay again.

Birdie@10 - Magnificent family home
We had a wonderful stay and would reccommend this place to other people too!

Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa
Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

Two bedroom house with a pool.
Beautiful house with beautiful views of the valley. Very spacious. Great decor.

River Club- Ideal spacious home
We had a wonderful Easter weekend at the River Club. The kids loved riding their bikes around the complex, and we’re already looking forward to coming back again soon!

Large, 7 sleeper house close to Robberg beach
A lovely house with spacious areas to relax or entertain your family. The house is well prepared for beach holiday visits with all the amenities you need. A quick walk to the beach and close to all Plett attractions.

Knysna spacious family home.
We had an incredible few days at the house in Knysna! It was so comfortable and inviting that we never wanted to leave. We enjoyed swimming, braaiing and relaxing while watching movies together. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, plus some lovely extras. The rooms were clean and the bed really comfortable .The owners Kate and Grant, were incredibly kind and helpful, making our stay even more enjoyable. I would absolutely love to return whenever possible. It was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it!

Luxury home with KolKol hot tub & backup power
We really enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful time. The view was amazing, and any questions we had were answered quickly. :)

A home. Comfort, serenity, birds, trees and sea.
What an incredible stay! So comfortable, and such amazing surroundings. Spent a lot of time on the top deck bird-watching, and felt like we had made some friends when some of them appeared to see us off when we left! The most peaceful and tranquil of locations. It feels like a privilege to be able to stay in the centre of a place like Nature's Valley, and in such a lovely family home. We'll be back.
