Yzerfontein Boat house

KimRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We had a fantastic 3-night stay at Dave's place and highly recommend booking. It was our first visit to Yzerfontein and, based on our overall experience we'll be visiting this part of the west coast again. - Dave is an excellent communicator and sent lists of things to do prior to our arrival + remained in contact during our stay. - The accommodation was very impressive and comfy with all necessary amenities + we loved the Scandinavian decor. - The hot tub was our go-to on chilly nights and during the day we walked with our dogs straight onto the magnificent beach from the house. - We shopped at nearby Vita Nova deli, had breakfast at Darling's Marmalade Cat (Dave's recommendation), bought Darling cellar wine, relished the sight of the incredible Fynbos and were thrilled by giraffe, camel and ostrich sightings. A big shout out to Dave for being an understanding host: One of our dogs unexpectedly soiled his rugs and he handled the incident with kindness and generosity - thanks Dave!

Sunset Apartment, Arum Place Kommetjie Beach House

DoreannaRating, 5 stars2 days ago
The apartment exceeded our expectations and Michelle and Lorenzo were great hosts. The views, location and the amenities provided were excellent! We couldn’t have asked for more. We were travelling with our one year old and they provided everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. We wish we had booked extra nights as we didn’t want to leave.

Noordhoek Beach Villa - solar back up electricity

SethRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Excellent hosting and communication. The area is quiet and a couple minutes drive to a beautiful beach. The house is in good shape but could do with some minor improvements in a few areas before the next season but overall didn't hugely impact our stay.

Luxurious home living with pool.Walk to beachfront

KarlyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had the most fantastic time at Villa on the Bay. We stayed with 4 adults and 4 kids aged between 2 and 8. The house was perfection for us and we had the ideal mix of relaxing and exploring Cape Town. The house has three bedrooms upstairs and one downstairs and a nice wide staircase between the two floors that is easy for small kids to navigate. Location is close enough to pop to shops and eateries in a few minutes on foot but just far away enough to be in a quiet street. We took Ubers everywhere and never had to wait more than a few minutes. The pool is solar heated so our kids spent hours playing without getting the shivers. The kitchen is stocked with everything you could need incl a coffee machine and ice maker. I could go on about small details but my point is that the house is amazing and we would definitely come back. Camps bay is so stunning!

RobinaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Palm Spring, a Mid- Century gem in Cape Town

DeniseRating, 5 stars10 months ago
It's not easy to find the proper words for this ever so beautiful accomodation. We came to Capetown for running the Marathon and we couldn't have imagined a more wonderful place to stay. Not only has Jo's house the best location (just a short walk to the start line), but it also is the most fantastic place to relax (before & after running a Marathon!). Jo's garden is a place of heaven. Sitting there on the porch, enjoying the light breeze, the sun, the fresh air, hearing the birds singing, smelling all these beautiful flowers ... this is life at its very best. And eventhough you feel so secluded, you are still in the middle of everything. Restaurants, cafes, grocery-stores are all in walking distance. Inside the house, everything is so carefully selected. It radiates pure calmness. We loved the well stocked kitchen, the bed with its soft linens & the selection of books. Last but not least, the bathtub with a view to paradise 🌸 Thank you, Jo, for sharing your gem with us.

Luxury Open Plan Family Home |8 Sleeper|4 Bedroom

GrantRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This house will not disappoint! I cannot say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay. The home is spacious, sparkling, an organizer's and entertainer's dream, comfortable yet with high-end finishings. You can expect to find that this home will easily match your expectations based on the photos. We are Canadian South Africans who lived in Cape Town 20 years ago. We wanted a space to bring family together. Taryn's home provided that and more! Even though it wasn't quite warm enough to enjoy the pool, it was well maintained. We certainly enjoyed the outdoor space by the pool, sipping our morning cappuccinos. We had so much fun playing table tennis, enjoying a braai and chatting in the spacious living room. The home is centrally located for seeing all the sights but neighbourhood dogs barking sometimes disturbed the sleep for light-sleepers. Even though all bedrooms are upstairs, we appreciated having a full bathroom on the main level for the less mobile family members in our group.

This Camps Bay villa is the perfect place for a relaxing but luxury stay. The location is perfect for access to Camps Bay (and the whole Cape Town area) restaurant scene, not to mention the fabulous wine farms and spectacular beaches and scenery. I’d recommend staying here to everyone- but I sort of hope it’s just there for me!

Villa in the Vineyard near Somerset West

DenisRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Lalapanzi and the Skaap House provided an unforgettable two-week retreat for our family of seven. Nestled in stunning natural beauty, the lodge offers breathtaking views that truly felt like a dream. Waking up to the serene landscape each morning was a joy. What truly sets Lalapanzi apart is the opportunity to walk among zebras, springboks, bonteboks, and wildebeest within the game reserve – a magical experience we cherished daily. The warm hospitality and friendly, responsive staff made us feel right at home, and the proximity to fantastic restaurants, wineries, and various outdoor activities was a bonus. We can't recommend Lalapanzi highly enough for anyone seeking an idyllic South African escape.

Simone's place was amazing with great views and all the creature comforts of a home. Great linen and towel quality. We had a fabulous time. I would recommend this house for a large party.

Your guide to Cape Town

All About Cape Town

South Africa’s breathtaking scenery and bustling cosmopolitan energy are perfectly encapsulated in the sprawling city of Cape Town, one the country’s three capitals. From the stunning backdrop of Table Mountain to the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Cape Town has no shortage of impressive sights to see — not to mention a thriving cultural scene that’s quickly transforming the city into a veritable metropolis.

Whether your perfect day in Cape Town means touring the city’s top wineries or tucking into crayfish hauled directly from the sea to your plate, you are sure to find something to hold your attention. Spend easy days sunbathing on white-sand beaches, go snorkeling at Pyramid Rock, and if you are interested in checking out the local wildlife, head to the Boulders Penguin Colony to see some 3,000 African penguins.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Cape Town

Due to its Mediterranean climate, the city typically enjoys warm, dry summers from December to February and cooler, wetter winters from June through August. Cape Town Pride takes place every year at the end of February and is a celebration of the LGBTQ community. Tweede Nuwe Jaar, or Second New Year, happens every year on January 2 and is one of the longest-held festivals in the city, which sees the capital turn into one big carnival with parades, dancing, and traditional music. It’s a celebration of freedom and hope and continues to educate locals and tourists alike on the area’s history.


Top things to do in Cape Town

Neighbourgoods Market

Neighbourgoods Market, tucked into the trendy Woodstock neighborhood, is a buzzing food market that has quickly become a symbol of the next generation of South Africa’s diverse culture. Wander between stalls, snacking on everything from burgers to vegetarian cakes, before checking out the wares from artisans and local designers that set up shop there too.

Table Mountain Cableway

Named for its flat top, Table Mountain is one of Cape Town’s most iconic destinations. Whether you make your way up by foot or by tram, ascending the 3,562 feet to the top is an essential experience. There are a variety of trails up the mountain that vary in difficulty. But the easiest, fastest, and arguably most scenic way up is via cable car, which will have you soaring high above the rocky valley, with the sea on the horizon as you climb to the peak.

Wander Kalk Bay

This seaside suburb is beloved for its trendy cafe scene, quirky vintage shops, and English-influenced restaurants to grab a bite. You can spend an afternoon strolling along the shore, perusing bric-a-brac and antique treasures behind colorfully-painted facades, and end the evening with tea and fish and chips.
