Damara Tern self catering.
Corna was extremely hospitable and responsive. It was a delight for us to stay by the ocean and hear the ocean, which is one of the best things in the world for me. The children enjoyed playing in the sea, and I enjoyed being able to wake early and sit by the water, while my sister enjoyed sitting by the seaside and watching the sun set. We regret not staying longer. The housekeeper was also very pleasant and wellmannered.

Beachfront Deck Studio @ Supertubes
Fantastic location just sitting above the world renowned Super Tubes. easy beach access. incredibly responsive host. Great setting for an evening Braai 🙌

Beach Suite Melkbosstrand directly on the beach
Iris was warm and welcoming and made our stay very pleasant. Will highly recommend this B&B to those wanting to experience a private getaway with the oceanic views and sounds that lifts one spirit. The place was beautifully decorated and we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Weskus-Beskus Beach Front House, Dwarskersbos.
Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

Private path to beach, back-up solar power
We just returned from a (too brief!) stay at Hans' place and are already planning our next visit. The house is modern, immaculate and comfortable, but the location is absolutely incredible. The kids would have happily spent our entire visit down at the beach, and we enjoyed starting and ending our days (with coffee or wine in hand) walking down the path to the shore and sitting on a bench taking in the view while they splashed about. On our next visit we will plan fewer excursions and build in more down time to spend at the house just enjoying the property and the amazing location.

Clean House Stilbaai
A beautiful spot right on the beach. The view is spectacular. The house has everything your heart desires. We really enjoyed our stay there. Five stars and more. Safe and well worth it. Dominique was a great host. We will definitely be back!

Yield house on Beach road
Cosy place with breathtaking view. We enjoyed our stay. Very spacious and clean.

Westcoast beach cottage - Unit 2
We had an amazing time at the guest house which falls right onto a peaceful beach. The braai and outside eating area is well sheltered and perfect for dinner. This is our second visit, and Kyle has been an excellent host both time! Highly recommend!

Coastal Charm Villa Kommetjie
We as a family loved staying here. Really comfortable for a big family. Great braai area sheltered from the wind with wonderful sea views. I am not a fan of residential areas butbI did enjoy Kommetjie over what is supposed to be a busy weekend. Long walks and cold swims with very little humans.

Amazing home on the beach in Klein Slangkop
Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

Stunning 4 Bedroom home on the beach with pool
This charming property is perfectly situated and offers unbelievable beauty! It truly is an incredible home perfect for a family that loves outdoors and enjoys some privacy at dinner times! We made unforgettable memories!

On The Beach Ballito @ 1 The Grange
What a stunning stay! The place was gorgeous and the view just cannot be beaten! Nadine and Chantelle managed to assist on the day of arrival with an earlier check in and to help fix something that had broken! Wonderful friendly service! Thank you so much!

@Last Glentana Beach Manor
The place is beautiful, but you gonna freeze to death there, no heaters, and they got electricity problem, you gonna stay in darkness for straight 6hrs, the back up batteries doesn’t work, the fact that the full house has only 2 bathroom was a huge turn off, rooms are not ensuit… Host is very rude, they don’t care about guest, she kicks you out when it’s 10 on the day of check out.. we won’t go back there

Luxury Beach Front Villa for 2 people
We had a fantastic stay at Ap's place! The apartment was impeccably clean and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location offered great privacy, and we really appreciated the tranquil atmosphere. Ap, Gerny, and Robert were all wonderful hosts – very welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The hospitality was top-notch, and it made our stay even more enjoyable. Overall, we were extremely happy with our experience and will definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you again for such a wonderful stay!

Tranquil paradise! Beach home with ocean views!
Thank you so much to Elsie for being a super host once again. She went the extra mile in accommodating us during our stay. The unit is outstanding with great views and modern furniture & design. We got to see dolphins & whales during our stay which are an amazing bonus and the weather was perfect.

Oceans End - a home on the beach
Simply lovely stay, right on the beach. Peaceful and quiet surroundings, so we were really able to relax. We felt safe and secure. Lovely to sit on the deck, seeing the sun go down over the sea. It is a pity we could only stay 2 nights, we are planning to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommended!

Martinique Beach House
Such a wonderful place to stay with our family visiting. Really is a beautiful home, with so many different areas, so you don’t feel on top of each other with a bigger group. We look forward to going back to this beautiful beach house.

Modern family beachfront house
Great beachfront house with room for the entire family!

Peaceful Petite Open Plan APT w Ocean view
Amazing i enjoyed staying at there. Best views great service. Definitely returning loved being there.

@Bokkom 5
This place is a real gem. You can feel the warmth of a well loved but stylish family holiday house as soon as you enter. The layout is perfect for 2 families (or one large family) where everyone can spend time together in the communal area but also have privacy when they need. Our kids loved playing on the big rock in the garden and had hours of fun with the pebbles. The house was easy to keep clean and literally had everything we needed. Thank you for having us Uys and family! We’ll be back for sure.

Zebra Views - Romansbaai Luxury Retreat
The stay at Zebra Views was magical. The natural beauty, amazing fauna and flora and breathtaking ocean views were to die for. Can highly recommend and will return!

Absolute Beach - Beachfront House
A beautiful place with stunning views right on the beach. Our extended family could hang out together or find their own private space. An extremely short walk to a gorgeous beach. Hosts live nearby and were very friendly and helpful.

Beachfront 5 bedroom Villa
We had the most amazing weekend getaway at Corene’s beachfront villa in St Helena Bay. The location is absolutely perfect, right on the beach with stunning views and the sound of the waves as your backdrop. The villa itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to unwind by the sea. We’ll definitely be back!

Endless Beachfront Sunsets
We had an amazing stay at Sampie’s place, it was beautiful and very well maintained. It exceeded our expectations and I will certainly stay there over and over. Highly recommend!
