4.89 out of 5 average rating, 156 reviewsLuxury 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.

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 133 reviewsModern Contemporary Zen Tree House Sparkling Pool
The Zen House is an absolute dream! It is wonderfully furnished and you really feel like you're waking up in a tree house. The location is great, very quiet and yet central, so you can easily reach the centre. The equipment of the house leaves nothing to be desired - everything is available. You sleep wonderfully in super comfortable beds and there is really nothing missing. Alex is also a great host, super friendly and was able to give me great tips for the surrounding area. I can only recommend the house.
Cottage in Wolseley

This was the perfect getaway, it was peaceful and remote as the other cottages on the property are well spaced out from each other. It was easy to feel relaxed and at home in the cottage and the hot tub was an additional treat. Would highly recommend staying here. :)

4.87 out of 5 average rating, 108 reviewsView, beach, comfy accommodation = Perfection
My stay was amazing and will definitely recommend to friends and family. I loved to view from both the living room and bedroom windows. The peacefulness was great and calming. The fact that there was no TV had me and my kids playing games and just chill together. My husband is already thinking of booking again

Guesthouse in Cape Town
4.59 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsNirvana 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.

We had a wonderful stay here with our two boys. It was walking distance to a beautiful beach and had stunning views. The cottage had everything we needed, including beach umbrella & chairs. The garden was great for our toddler to play in and would be perfect if you’re travelling with dogs. We will definitely be back!

From first contact with Fatima and Neil we felt at ease. From the second we arrived we were welcomed and made to feel at home. Nothing was too much trouble and they even sent us suggestions on places to visit and also a taxi service to use while we're were there. Would definitely recommend their lovely home and would definitely stay again if we're are ever back in the gorgeous Cape Town.
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 :)

Cottage in Suurbraak
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 478 reviewsWild, off-the-grid, style & comfort solar-powered.
We had the most magical stay in Bridget and Maggie place. We travel the world for work and family trips and this sanctuary is now one of our favourite and most memorable places we have stayed in. The nature, the silence, cooking, doing yoga on the decks . Just perfect. Communication with the house manager was quick , easy and super efficient with our late check in and when we needed anything . Making the whole experience one of the best we have had in a very long time :)

We had an awesome time at Daniel’s place. The house is spacious and well apportioned and the location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and all the shops / restaurants in Sea Point. House is very well kitted out especially for kids with loads of toys and books to keep the little ones entertained. Ireen was also a god send - she kept the house spotless and also looked after our little one! We’ll definitely be back!
