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!

Scenic two bedroom house with splash pool
We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view of the mountains from the garden. Was super easy to walk to start of Two Oceans race. Be careful when pulling in as drive is narrow. Overall great!

Large SUMMER FAMILY house with pool and lapa
Elzanne‘s place was perfect for our family of three visiting Cape Town for 5 nights. Our 2 year old enjoyed playing with all the toys available, plus the trampoline and swing set outside. We enjoyed the bbq grill and eating dinner outside most nights with a view of the sunset and pool. The property is very quiet and beds very comfortable. There‘s a huge fridge and freezer and everything you need to cook meals. The house is also beautifully designed so it was a very pleasant stay for us!

Cape Lights
This place gets a perfect score! The rooms are bright and very tastefully decorated. Everything is super clean. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The garden with the mini pool is also very well maintained. We felt at home there. The surroundings are safe. Cute little cafes and restaurants are very close. We can imagine coming back next year.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Denis’s in De Waterkant! The apartment was stylish, spotless, and perfectly located in a charming and vibrant neighborhood. Denis was an exceptional host—friendly and responsive. The space was comfortable, well-equipped, and felt like a home away from home. We truly enjoyed every moment of our stay and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town. Thank you, Denis, for a great experience!

Secure, serene oasis enveloped in leafy views
Thank you, Ryan and Kelly, for making our stay so memorable. Our large family felt very much at home and enjoyed the beautiful living areas and outdoors. Thank you too for organizing the porta cot and high chair for our grandchild who thoroughly enjoyed having lots of space and all the fun toys. Your home was exactly as described, and we felt safe and will certainly stay in your home again when we visit Cape Town.

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.

Beautiful House In Secure Estate
Staying here felt like having a second home! The place has everything you need for an unforgettable stay. It is exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and located in a truly breathtaking area. The complex is one of the most stunning and secure places in all of South Africa. Our host was beyond amazing—so kind, helpful, and always available whenever we needed anything. He made sure everything was perfect and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The house itself is perfect for families, with comfortable beds and a fully equipped kitchen that has everything you could possibly need. Every little detail is thoughtfully taken care of. From the seamless check-in process to the lovely welcome basket waiting for us, every moment was a delight. The host continuously checked in to ensure we were having a great time. We truly cherished every minute of our stay and will definitely be coming back. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a wonderful experience!

Hangklip Villa
Our stay was absolutely amazing. There are no words to describe that place. You are so close to the ocean and always hear the noise of the sea. You need to experience it yourself! The host Eric was so kind. He prepared the house especially for our two children. So they could play and walk safely through the house. Eric also stored some food for us after our arrival. Eric always responded immediately and was so helpful. We had some nice conversations and after we left he even gave us a breakfast recommendation and with that came a voucher Heide cooked twice for us. That was also absolutely amazing. We will come back for sure! Highly recommended to everybody!

Historical Farmhouse In Cape Town
Gorgeously decorated and styled place . Really at level of artistic and interior design magazine level and yet cosy home. Very sweet and warm home feeling place with lots of green in central location.

#workation with 360 view in Rooiels
A lovely cottage in absolutely breathtakingly beautiful surroundings. The home is well equipped and we immediately felt right at home. Highly recommended for any break away.

Wessels House - Central Calm Oasis - garden & pool
The house is in a super convenient location and presents really well. An ensuite for each bedroom makes it the perfect executive stay or family holiday. Easily accommodated our party of four and we look forward to returning again soon. Thanks Chris for a great stay.

Houghton Hues
We had a lovely time at Mary-Louise’s house. It was in a beautiful setting the house had everything we needed and Mary-Louise was super responsive and extremely helpful. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Salty Breeze Boutique Escape: Sunny Garden Cottage
This was our first visit to South Africa and Birgit and Eugene made it extremely easy for us particularly during our first few days when we were pretty clueless. But not just that - they continued with welcome and helpful suggestions throughout our time here. The well equipped apartment itself is spotlessly clean set in a really nice garden with a swimming pool and sun loungers. It’s an easy ten minute walk to the seafront where there are a selection of good restaurants offering menus to suit everyone’s taste. The area itself feels very safe and we had no problem walking back at night in the dark. All in all I have no hesitation in recommending Birgit’s apartments.

Ocean Views
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Kerry's home! From the very beginning when we made our initial inquiry until the day we checked out Kerry was warm, responsive, and accommodating. She kindly allowed us an early check-in despite having guests check out the same morning and also permitted a late check-out on our last day, which made a huge difference for us as we had staggered travel schedules. The house itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and incredibly comfortable. The house had literally everything we could have needed. It was the perfect space for a relaxing getaway, with spacious bedrooms, a great location, and all the amenities we needed. Kerry also made sure to clarify everything about the property beforehand — including backup power, air conditioning, and even helping us adjust our reservation dates when our plans changed last minute. Communication with Kerry was seamless throughout. She was proactive, helpful, and genuinely cared about making sure we had a great stay.

Hout Bay Restio - Near sea, mountains & vineyards
Paddy and Chris are exceptional host, they are very friendly and accommodating. The house is very well kept and perfectly located. It is in a very secure area in Hout Bay. It’s close to local amenities. I would definitely recommend this place and will also book this accommodation next time I am in Cape Town. The house feels like home away from home.

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.

Chez Nthabi
Nthabi's place was everything we had hoped for but never knew we would be able to get - a quiet, peaceful, spacious, beautiful and well-provisioned family accommodation at a good price. Nthabi even welcomed us with a bottle of wine. wow! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly return, as we plan to come visit our son at UCT from time to time. hope to stay there whenever we are in CT. Thanks for your amazing hospitality.

5 bedroom House & Shared Pool
We booked Rustic Retreat for our family who were together for the first time in years and it was the perfect place for all of us. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Jade was always quick to respond with any queries or needs that we had. The house is very well maintained and is exactly as seen in the photos. I would recommend this B&B to anyone.
