Vacation rentals with a fireplace in South Africa

We had an amazing break away for 8 adults and a child and the accommodation ticked all the boxes with high quality beds and bedding. The pool has a safety net over which immediately set me at ease with regards to kid safety. You really don't want for anything in the kitchen, it's fully equipped. The host was really helpful and responsive on questions. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again.

Guthrie's house was amazing - amazing setting in Cederberg and very tastefully furnished. It was our privilege to stay at their family farmhouse. Slightly out of the beaten way but broadly speaking a great place for a getaway.

We just left Cape Town and our stay at Gareth’s beautiful home overlooking the beach below. It was even better than the photos! We woke to an amazing view of the sun rise each morning! The beds are super comfy and the rooms bright and airy during the day. Such an incredible experience. We loved being south of downtown Cape Town with easier access to Boulders Beach and Cape of Good Hope. We could have enjoyed spending an entire week soaking it all in. We would recommend this home to anyone visiting. It was also super safe secluded on the hillside with a secure garage and gated pathway to the home and off the beaten path.

We absolutely loved our stay. Everything in the house was thoughtfully decorated. A mix between high end appliances and retro and rustic decor. Amazing backyard to braai, tasteful decor outside with abundance succulents. Wish we could stay longer. Absolute gem of a place!

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed! The home is beautifully designed, spotlessly clean, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a relaxing getaway. The stunning ocean view and peaceful surroundings made it feel like a true escape. The location in George is perfect, quiet, yet close to everything you need. The host was incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail was just right. I can’t recommend this place enough, a true gem that I would return to in a heartbeat!

One of the most stunning airbnb’s I have stayed in!!! The photos are gorgeous, but in person is even better. The sunsets here are unmatched, the outdoor space is larger than what we imagined, and the inside is cozy with lots of amenities! The tap water is safe to drink and the security to the place was great. The driveway is quite steep but we got our rental car up it no problem! Anthony was fantastic and always answered so fast! He was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you so much!

Everything was where it was meant to be. Peaceful, private and completely relaxing. Clean, high quality linen, modern accessories and facilities. Clear, easy to follow instructions for that perfect stay. We are already planning our return visit to the home, choosing it over others in the area. Thank you Charlotte.

A group of friends spent a long weekend at the Whale Huys which exceeded expectations. The setting on the mountainside directly above the sea is spectacular and each bedroom has a sea view. The owners have catered for every need. Even though it was winter we had very warm weather and were able to enjoy the heated pool and the hot tub. One could spend all day taking in the panoramic view over the sea and watching the whales in the bay. We received a warm welcome from Rene on arrival and felt at home right away. We hope to be back soon!

Fabulous place, location, and hosts. I highly recommend both. Kalk Bay is all charm. The apartment, top floor, has a wonderful view of the ocean and hills. Stunning. Easy secure walking into town. Lynne and Luiz are the best. The apartment is perfect in everyway: the bathtub overlooks the hills and with the sound of the ocean is all peace and comfort.

We had a wonderful stay with Marelize and Dawie! The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The unit was perfect, spacious and the fireplace was a big bonus for us. The location is absolutely perfect and ideal for anyone wanting to visit Franschhoek and all the surrounding wine farms. 100% would recommend!

What a beautiful apartment with amazing views 🤩. The sunrise over the mountain was so spectacular. I really enjoyed my stay at this lovely apartment. Picasso always there to assist with anything. What a lovely host. Will definitely come back.

I really enjoyed staying at Michelle’s place. She was a wonderful host. The place is nice and fully equipped in secure and safe location. We couldn’t ask for a better place. Highly recommend it.

What a amazing Airbnb experience with Tacha! She welcomed me and we immediately felt like old friends. She gave me a ton of great tips. The house is just amazing, beautiful decor, comfy bed and bedsheets, the view is amazing some days I could smell the sea water! You can walk everywhere or get a uber it always like 5$ for a 10-15 min drive. You should definitely book it 👍🏽

We had a wonderful time at La Mer flatlet. Beautiful views and good accommodation. It was cold and raining, but the inside fireplace was the place to be to watch the waves crashing over the rocks in front of the house. Will visit again. Good value for money.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sunsets, sea, and pure Sea Point magic! What a brilliant stay! The apartment had jaw-dropping views of the sunset over the ocean — we caught golden hour every evening with a glass in hand. Right in the heart of Sea Point’s buzz, we were steps away from great coffee, epic bagels, and the promenade. The space was spotless, stylish, and felt like a proper home away from home. Host was a legend – friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!

Absolutely lovely place! Well equipped with everything.

The property is out of a dream, gorgeous views, watching sunrises from the pool area while having breakfast was the highlight of our stay, one of the best homes we’ve stayed in, it’s alittle far from town but they’re still quite alot you can do around the area, Debbie our host was such an Angel, always eager to assist when we needed anything although the house gets quite chilly in the evenings but there’s a fire place and heater to keep you warm, plus heated blankets. Overall had an amazing time

Our stay at this beautiful home in Springerbaai Eco Estate was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful surroundings, stunning ocean views, and the sense of total privacy. The house is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday. We especially loved the large deck—it was the perfect spot for morning coffee, seeing the exceptional sunrises and watching the dolphins in the ocean below. We saw wildlife right from the house and enjoyed quiet walks on the estate’s trails and down to the untouched beach. Highly recommend!

Allen's home on Clifton beach was perfect for our family of 7. Unbelievable views of the beach with amazing windows to view from most every room. I could have stayed there a year. Amos, the in-house keeper, was amazing at the household duties and we enjoyed seeing him around the property. We will be back and we will recommend this amazing place.

This gets my highest recommendation, and no I’m not connected to the owner in any way. The entire experience beat all expectations. Owners very kind and helpful. The ViEW is incredible. So comfortable for my wife and 4 adult children.

We absolutely loved our stay at Grassroots! Every detail has been thought of and the amenities are amazing. From the gorgeous furniture to the linen to the quality glassware & cookware to the hammock which was a hit with the kids, even the ice machine, wine fridge and airfryer 👌 All amazing! We’ll be back!

This is a lovely house, perfect for our big family group. The views were spectacular, standing out on the balcony watching the sunrise was quite something. The house was well situated, a bit of a walk down to the town (and a more painful walk back up the hill!) Yvette was very responsive to a couple of teething niggles, which was helpful, as were her recommendations for local spots to visit.

Lovely home away from home which is right by the sea. Other than being comfortable, in great location for walking and taking in nature. Bonus is responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend.

An extremely well an appointed and tasteful home in the most spectacular location.
