My Airbnb home

AbRating, 5 stars4 months ago
Our second visit to Micasa, and once again, we were happy with our stay. The house is in a prime location, making it easy to explore local attractions or enjoy nearby restaurants, everything was just a short walk or drive away. Our host was fantastic, just as before. They were incredibly responsive to any questions we had and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house itself was in perfect condition—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities required. Happy to return again.

Large 2 bedroom house with private pool & garden

CraigRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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!

Private Pool. Near the beach.

LyndonRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

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.

18 Sleeper Self-Catering Lodge - 90 min from JHB

FlourishRating, 5 stars16 months ago
A group of friends and I stayed at Jackal Hill for a couple days and it was fantastic! We had the whole property to ourselves so it felt very private and we did not have to worry about bothering anyone. Stacey's communication was brilliant - she responded to my messages well in time and was always so friendly. Melody and Joseph were on the property and were ever so helpful. We had to call Melody a bunch of times and she always responded and helped where she could. There were definitively flies, but you just have to keep the place clean of food waste which is what attracts them. Unfortunately, we did have an issue with bats occupying one of the chalets which we subsequently couldn't really use, so don't forget to close your windows before dark. Wonderful place, serene, beautiful, calm long walks, and a fantastic host, agent, and owner!

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!!!!!!!!

Rented this for my mother and company as she was visiting Harare for the first time. The comment from all was, "This must be expensive!" because it looks like it. The hosts take pride in their house and it is a place to book next time we go ourselves. Thank you for providing us a wonderful place.

Beach house, modern, spacious!

LaurenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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!
