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!

My Airbnb home
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
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!

31 on Waller (Solar back up)
I had such a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was super convenient, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. The host Edwin was really responsive and helpful with any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

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.

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.

18 Sleeper Self-Catering Lodge - 90 min from JHB
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!

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.

The Werf Paternoster
Camillas place has so much to offer! The view, the interior, just everything! We had a wonderful stay and just can recommend to everyone, who wants to have a quiet time out in paternoster! We’ll definitely come back!

The Whale House Beach Villa 1, Pennington
The Whale House was perfect, peaceful, direct beach access, internet, security and friendly, helpful neighbour's. Debbie was so helpful and attentive, very grateful for easy check-in and check-out. We would love to be back soon!!

Stunning home in Gowrie Village, Nottingham Road
Had a wonderful few days here. Sally gave us easy to follow instructions on everything we needed to know. The location was great and was central and easy to walk to places.

A homely 3 bedroomed residential house
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.

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!

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!

A Touch of Country - Pets welcome
Beautiful home with everything you need. Good space with kids too. Comfortable beds!
