White Penthouse Award Winning Building
I enjoyed living at Shantal’s pent house in J’burg. It’s impeccable & clean & worth the stay

Paradise Beach Langebaan Flamingo Apartment
Paradise Beach is the pinnacle of West Coast living! Paul & Jolene were the most incredible hosts and went above and beyond in every respect. I travelled with a baby and they did everything to make our stay comfortable and baby safe providing. They not only provided a baby cot, but brought toys, a gate for the stairs and even took us to the beach with all the equipment you would need provided (umbrella, chairs, mat). We felt so welcome, at home and spoilt. Thank you very much for making our trip so memorable!

Tranquil GEM - lush garden view + solar energy!
This is a great spot in Plett with great value! The contained unit has everything needed for an easy stay. The tub was awesome, and the layout of the interior and porch is nice. The hosts are friendly as well. With a car, its easy to access different parts of Plett from here, as well as the surrounds. Quiet and safe neighborhood too. The quality of the space for the price, can't be beat in this area!

Bergvlei Cottage at Treks, Trips and Trails
great place, lovely hosts. My partner and our friends had an amazing time❤️

Gecko Lodge Robertson
I booked Tanya's place for my bridal party and getting ready for my wedding. It was an absolute gem and Tanya spoilt me with a little gift for my big day, plus she was a wonderful host! I will definitely be back!!

Entire Seaview Country Lodge @ Tniqua Stable Inn
We had the most wonderful holiday! Kids were happy, food was excellent and the setting gorgeous. We visited the beach, horse rides and lessons were given and we were spoilt with delicious breakfast buffets daily. As a mother, I felt very relaxed. The Robberg Walk was also stunning and worthwhile.

Ulwazi Rock Lodge - can sleep up to 12 guests
The place is stunning! It was very safe and secure. Would highly recommend. The pool was beautiful and they even provided pool side towels. Alida and Irene were extremely friendly and welcoming.

Life's a Beach Cottage

Mauritian Villa on the Vaal River (Willows Way)
This is a private and beautiful location with the on-site expectations fully fulfilled. The staff are friendly and efficient. The multiple entertainment areas and very significant fridge space and facilities ensured our birthday celebration weekend was a smash hit for all. We missed not having a boat to enjoy the river more fully.

Rustic Perfection - Riverhouse at Linderhof
This is our second time staying here, and once again, it never disappoints! The property is absolutely stunning, with so much to offer for every member of the family. Our kids had an incredible time spending most of their days on the kayaks and fishing. The attention to detail and care from Chezanne and the team made our stay even more special, ensuring that we had everything we needed for an unforgettable holiday. We’ve created so many amazing memories here, and we can’t wait to return for our next adventure. Thank you so much to everyone for making this another exceptional experience!

Hazyview accommodation, Bon Repose Cottage 3
This place was amazing,pictures don’t do justice to how peaceful and beautiful it is .Exactly what I needed -a peaceful atmosphere.Jacuzzi was top tier- very private. Definitely booking again.

'Rosetta Barn' private 1 bedroom holiday apartment
Great environment, close by to shops and restaurants, felt at home also felt safe definitely recommend 👌🏾👌🏾

The Median 1-bedroom studio apartment with balcony
This must be one of my favourite apartments to date. Extremely secure, well located for restaurants, shops, uber collection/drop off and the Gautrain being a 300m walk. And even though in the middle of Rosebank, the apartment is extremely quiet. The view from the balcony is beautiful, the apartment is beautifully decorated and furnished and all amenities appear brand new. I almost don't want to recommend this apartment, so that it is available when I next need it!!!!! It will always be my first choice.

Serendipity, a spacious seaside apartment
We stayed in Alexa's apartment for a week and had a great time there. If we had any questions or needed anything she helped us immediately. We can warmly recommend Alexa and her place.

Convenient and Beautiful Ocean side Nomad Pad
This place so beautiful, everything was perfect. The host was very responsive from the day of the booking until we checked out. Willie also arranged for us a complimentary breakfast which was very nice. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you!

Ocean-front home in fynbos setting. Sleeps 8.
Our stay was great. If you are looking for a relaxing time in an incredibly beautiful and quiet location, this is the place. The setting is otherworldly and it was great spending time inside and outside the house, relaxing on the lawn or playing boardgames and doing puzzles. The whole experience was great, and we would have no hesitation recommending this as a place for a family to spend a few days.

2 bedroom apartment with free parking on premises
The apartment is well furnished and clean. There were a few things missing for a long term stay, but these were provided upon request. A few more dishes would be good. We would rent the apartment again.

The Cobbles Beach House
What a lovely break with the family. Beach and fishing was amazing and the family got to relax and have quality time.

Spacious apartment Constantia, patio, pool access
My husband and I spent a month at Sedicka’s superb apartment in Constantia. The apartment, separate from the main house, is peaceful and tranquil, with stunning views of the lush grounds and mountains. The top-notch security made us feel safe and secure. The apartment was spotless, thanks to the excellent cleaners who serviced it weekly, providing fresh towels and bedding. The photos don’t do justice to the size and beauty—it’s even more spacious and charming in person. My husband worked comfortably from the bedroom’s dressing table, which served as a great remote workspace. Both Alexander and Sedicka were warm, welcoming, and quick to respond to any questions. The location was perfect—just five minutes from Constantia Village, with shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of wine farms. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay and look forward to returning!

Unity Beach House, Salt Rock
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here. The place exceeded my expectations. Will definitely be back here. The 3 days I spent were not enough

Upmarket, one-bed apartment, walk to the beach!
We had a great stay. The hosts were super responsive and after informing them of a small issue they immediately rectified it. We really appreciated the added small touch of some tea, coffee, fruit, milk and yogurt as we arrived late and didn't have time to stop at a shop before arriving. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a 2 week stay. We also appreciated the safety of the apartment complex. We definitely recommend staying here!

CABIN 16 @Riviera Wharf in Hartenbos.
Renate was a great, friendly and accommodative host. We enjoyed our stay at their beautiful place and we will definitely recommend it to all. Thank you, Renate for all your help and your kind approach.

Right Cove- 3 bedroom townhouse on the beach
We really enjoyed our stay, and will definitely consider staying there again when we find ourselves in Herold’s Bay.

Luxury 2 Bed Apartment with beautiful views
Apartment has amazing views and only a short walk to many restaurants and pubs. We enjoyed our stay.
