House rentals with a pool

Cheerful 4 bedroom home with pool.
What a wonderful place Hanno & Nico have! The house has all comforts and sparkling clean! The pool is beautiful with lovely water. Furthermore, the hosts are incredibly friendly, respond quickly to messages and have all kinds of fun tips for restaurants and the surrounding area! Highly recommended!

Large 2 bedroom house with private pool & garden
Can’t speak highly enough of our 4-night stay. Exceptional property, fully equipped with everything you’d need, wonderfully big outdoor garden with pool and loungers. 5 min walk to wine tram, 2 min walk to Franschhoek main road, yet extremely peaceful neighbourhood/st the house is located on, could hardly have picked a better location. Upstairs bedroom above kitchen/living area could certainly do with a fan, the only constructive feedback we have. The property manager/cleaners were extremely helpful throughout our stay and helped with flexible check-in/out which was greatly appreciated. Massive thanks for making our time in Franschhoek so special!

Heron House - self-catering with pool
Great house for a family get together. Large patio with outdoor bbq/braai. Lovely pool. Lots of space to spread out.

Large SUMMER FAMILY house with pool and lapa
Elzanne‘s place was perfect for our family of three visiting Cape Town for 5 nights. Our 2 year old enjoyed playing with all the toys available, plus the trampoline and swing set outside. We enjoyed the bbq grill and eating dinner outside most nights with a view of the sunset and pool. The property is very quiet and beds very comfortable. There‘s a huge fridge and freezer and everything you need to cook meals. The house is also beautifully designed so it was a very pleasant stay for us!

Bellamy on Vaal / river view house
Tracy very lovely lady, very helpful. place is lovely, would definitely return

Private Pool. Near the beach.
Very lovely house with everything you need: pool towels, great beds, hotel-style linens, grill, complete kitchen, secure area not far from the beach. The owners live on premises, which can be problematic. However, we quickly found an agreement when the owners could do daily pool cleaning and gardening. So then we always had a lovely garden and clean pool. The owners took care of small problems in the house immediately and descretely. When we saw each other, they always asked if everything was OK. We stayed for six weeks and it was our home away from home. We would come back any time! Thanks so much for the wonderful summer in South Africa.

Lovely house one road up from the beach
We had a wonderful stay at Nikkis place. the home was perfect. Everything you need. A relaxed beach feel with the furniture, colour scheme and decor. stunning bathrooms and beautiful bed linen. The pool was a super extra and nice and close to the entertainment area. Braai facilities are great, the games room with the pool table, table tennis and dart board made for endless entertainment and lots of laughs throughout the stay. 30 seconds walk to the beach from house. and the bonus of having the dogs with us with the whole family. huge grass garden for playing and parking space. a Wholesome all round Wonderful Experience.

Table Mountain Home with Ocean View
We had such a happy family holiday based in Sally’s house. Plenty of space for a multi-generational group, comfortable and well-appointed. And what a beautiful outlook we enjoyed of both the sea and mountain. Sally was kind, responsive and a delight, as was Brenda. Thank you for having us! We’d love to return.

Glen Beach Bungalow Main House
Our stay at Mary-Louise’s villa was incredible! The location on Glen Beach is unbeatable, with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves. The villa was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Mary-Louise was a fantastic host—helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait to return!

The 14th at LCE
What a way to start 2025 in such a beautiful home on a golf estate that you exudes tranquility . Andriette is an amazing hostess, very friendly and always responsive. Our stay was just amazing. The pictures do not do justice to the home. The attention to detail and the numerous game options available is unmatched. The pool was an added bonus. Had an amazing weekend and will be back soon!!!!!!!!

Big house at the foot of the Hermanus mountains.
Elsja made sure we were warmly welcomed - Christmas decorations, gifts for our dogs and some fabulous treats for us! This is our 2nd holiday at the house and love the large rooms with plenty of light and fresh air - easy walks to the beach and the mountain. We will be back! Thank you.

Family Estate Home
We loved our stay! Baron’s view is a beautiful estate and Henk’s place is perfect. The house is extremely well equipped and very peaceful with fantastic views. Sky Villa hotel is also on the estate which was great for drinks by the pool and we had some fantastic lunches & dinners there too (excellent service!). Henk also gave us some really good recommendations around Plett and was a great host. Highly recommend!

Beach house, modern, spacious!
We immediately felt right at home as we walked in! The place was just beautiful, spacious and felt like we were on some tropical island. Loved the open plan bedrooms leading onto the pool deck, which was our main hang out area. Kitchen fully equipped! We did alot of cooking and we had everything available. Gas braai perfect for no fuss quick dinners. Dorkus greeted us like family and made us feel super welcome to the home! She was such a star and spoilt us helping clean after we cooked etc. Felt like a hotel! We were very well looked after! Thank you! We definitely will be back! Our new go to for the future holidays!

Doran Vineyards Manor House
We split this beautiful place 2 with other couple friends and enjoyed the relaxation so much. The views were jaw dropping at sunset over the vineyards.

Self-Catering house with sea view
Sarah was a fantastic host - helpful, friendly and quick to respond. The house had lovely views and it was a very easy walk to the beach - ideal location. It fitted our group more than comfortably and made our Kenton stay just the rejuvenating holiday we were after!

Spacious 6 Bedroom House
One of my favourite places I have ever stayed. Such a beautiful home. So comfortable and the views are incredible. We cannot wait to come back.

Knysna Holiday Home
A beyond five star stay! The stay was the most comfortable I have ever had with my elderly mom who has special needs for her mobility. Owen and his support are incredible and helpful. We literally never needed for a single thing. It is comfortable, clean, well located, all the possible utilities you might need. If you are going to Knysna, you have found your dream accommodation right here!

The Thatch House
Doreen was a wonderful host. Really responsive and helpful. We had a little one with us and she really went out of her way to accommodate us as a family. Amazing host! The place was beautiful, a great family stay. 10/10 recommend. Great canal cruise options when we stayed there. Great walking options and lots to do (and not to, just relax) A great home that made us feel right at home. Peaceful and tranquil. Book the stay! ☺️🙏🏻
