Oyster Beach House - the best views in Plett.

EmilyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

A spectacular home! Our only regret is that we didn’t have more time to stay. It is walking distance to the beach and to the Main Street with shops and restaurants, but the home is so lovely — with wonderful views and everything you need for self-catering — that you can easily spend all your time at the house. Dean was very communicative and left thoughtful touches like water carafes by the bed. We would love to stay here again!

Kelly is the sweetest, and a very communicative host. The place has a great view of the ocean, felt safe, and is in walking distance of camps bay restaurants and the beaches - both camps bay and Clifton. We had AC in one of the bedrooms which was great. We really enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful 2 bed on the beach, a walk to shops

CarlRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Check in was seamless and great communication from Lee-Anne. Lee-Anne made us feel right at home from the start. The apartment is extremely clean, well furnished and a great view of Table Mountain! We got a welcome basket with snacks, complimentary milk and water which was a nice gesture. The beds are super comfy, the linen and towels crispy fresh and clean! Had a wonderfull time and will surely return.

Cosy living.Blouberg. Comfortable. Value for money

4.82 out of 5 average rating, 74 reviews3 weeks ago

This is a hidden gem of Blouberg! We stayed for 1 month with Marius and our stay was super gorgeous:) Very spacious home with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and big kitchen. Small terrace where we did some nice braai. Marius has a hose with clean water to wash your equipment (if you come for kitesurfing), so you don't need to spoil bathroom with sand. Nice territory around with small playground for children (if you have). Very quite area. Marius himself was super friendly and very kind. Thank you for such a beautiful stay!

Mountain & seaside retreat with private hot tub!

5 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews3 days ago

We had an absolutely wonderful weekend at Simone and Arno’s place. From the moment we arrived, they were incredibly friendly and responsive. Simone gave us a warm welcome and took the time to walk us through everything, which was super helpful. The place itself is beautiful—neat, tidy, and thoughtfully set up. The hot tub was a highlight for us, and we really appreciated Arno going the extra mile to set it up. It was the perfect way to relax and unwind. The location is fantastic— close to the beach and close to food stores, yet still so peaceful and quiet. It truly felt like a getaway. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay.

It was a pleasure for us to stay at Lenas Place. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who also speak german. The place itself is close to the beach and only 7 minutes from the Robberg Nature Reserve in a secured area. If we would come back to Plett, we would book this apartment again. Thank you for the nice stay :-)

Absolutely perfect. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our one-month stay. The privacy is great — after passing through the shared garden, the cottage is completely separate from the main house, with a stone wall providing full seclusion. Can highly recommend.

We had a great stay thanks Taflin. You really own a piece of heaven, and we would definitely be back. It was rainy and misty, not the best weather, but we still had a great time. This is one of the nicest Airbnb’s we have stayed at, and there have been quite a few. Thanks for allowing us in your home, you will see us again in future for sure.

Edible Shores Boathouse Cottage

MargueriteRating, 5 stars3 days ago

We had such a great time in this space in Pringle Bay. We love the feeling of being away from the world, but it's also so pretty and close to the beach and other interesting locations. The hottub is a must and we enjoyed it so much with our 2 small boys now calling it a 'sit-swembad'. Thank you for a wonderful stay and for making our Easter Weekend so special.

We LOVE this villa and the location couldn’t be more perfect, it feels so safe, the villa views are a dream, the decor and art work we love, comfy furniture and beds, pristine clean, feels homely yet luxurious. We love that the villa has lots of different areas which all create different feelings and perfect for a large group of people. Amazing for our 2 year old daughter. Wonderful walk down to the beach. Communication to host is excellent. We don’t want to ever leave! We would love to stay here again when we come back to Cape Town

KatharinaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Carins Vineyard was wonderful - we stayed 4 nights longer than planned :) The surrounding is wonderful - beautiful wineries, wonderful activities and the winetram is fun :) 60 Min drive to Capetown. But let's talk about this beautiful property: A wonderful swimming pond, friendly dogs, an extraordinary breakfast with selfmade bread and a tennis court. The hosts and the stuff is very friendly, they even offered us to babysit our children that we can have a nice romantic lunch. We also lost one of our phones during our stay and Carin and her husband stood by our side till we got it back. The property is not part of the Winetram, so - no tourist masses. An absolute insider tip. Carin & Johann: Thank you so much for having us - thank you to your great team! We will be back!

A wooden deck is shown with a wooden chair positioned for optimal ocean views. Lush greenery and palm trees frame the scene, creating a serene outdoor space. The clear blue sky complements the tranquil atmosphere, inviting relaxation in the natural surroundings.
