Just wow! This place is just something else. Luxurious bedrooms with a balcony where you can see a beautiful view of the ocean, spacious living room, well-equipped kitchen.

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.

My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Hoogwater Cottage. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The Hot tub was a favourite along with the indoor fireplace that kept the place cozy. Madri was responsive and came to check in on the first day to see if we settled in. We would definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a relaxing getaway surrounded by nature.

What really makes the place special is the attention to detail and the small things… having the hot tub packed with wood, supply of firewood at a very reasonable prices and other homely touches. Literally everything you could ask for - try and stay for as long as you can.

Liz: Casa la Robertson was just a home away from home. The home is fully equipped with anything you might need. It is about 25 minutes from the city centre. Very chill and relaxed placed and I would not mind coming back anytime soon. Thank you so much for hosting us and thanks for making your home available to us. 🎉🎉❤️❤️❤️ home.

Although the host delayed a bit in responding after we confirmed the booking, overall we had a great experience and felt very welcome. Fatma was there at noon, waiting to check us in and showed us around the house. The house was also a great value for money in a quiet and beautiful nei
Cottage in Franschhoek
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 34 reviewsRuby Sun Farm Cottage
We loved our stay here. The cottage was very cosy and the location is beautiful - watching the sunset from the viewpoint (about 100m away from the cottage) was spectacular. The location was very peaceful and safe, and we could easily and safely walk the 15-20 mins into town. The cottage had everything we needed, and Christeli and Fabian had kindly included some bits for our little one (high chair, baby bath and cot). The plunge pool was a lovely way to wake up in the morning and have a splash with our little one. Fabian and Christeli were very responsive and helpful with any queries. Highly recommended!
Cottage in Swellendam
4.96 out of 5 average rating, 25 reviewsHermitage 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 :)

Home in Bredasdorp
4.82 out of 5 average rating, 142 reviewsCarneddie cottage - an authentic historic cottage
Spacious cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 big lounges. Lovely garden area. The house was equipped with everything necessary for a short stay. Warren was always very friendly and helpful, communicating easy. Bredarsdorp itself only has one or two cafés/ restaurants worth it but its a good starting point to explore nature reserves and Cape Agulhas.

This was the perfect accommodation for our family of four. Comfortable, private, well decorated, spacious and convenient. We loved our stay. The option of having the residence serviced was great. The pool and outside areas are lovely. We were under the impression that one of the rooms was only accessible from outside but all the bedrooms can be accessed from inside which was great with kids. Michelle was super responsive and helpful - the Easter eggs were a lovely touch! We will absolutely be back
