House vacation rentals in Namaqualand

The simple life personified. After a short time getting oriented and realizing there were no locks on doors (be sure to bring a small padlock if that’s a concern), we fell deep into the slow and restive rhythm of the place. Beyond charming with simple details to match the back-to-basics decor. Top it off with a private beach on the vlei, cozy hot tub, outdoor shower and a very comfortable bed, and what more could you ask for?

This Was an ideal space for our group of freinds. Very tidy, clean and spacious. Great place for families to unwind. Very hospitable with pool and trampoline. Sitting on the sofa watching the sun go down is an absolute treat and relaxing! Ideal for us!

Really great spot, with stunning views of the dam and surrounding area, host was very flexible and the outside area was very well equipped for a great time with family and friends

Peaceful, restful, full of nature. Beautiful walks and swims in the dam. Simple and basic and all you need for a country escape. Lovely hosts. Will be back

We had the absolute best time staying at Excelsior guest farm and made the most incredible memories as a group. The farm house has so much character, lots of chill spaces, big lounge and kitchen and a pool. There is so much to do on the farm itself from nearby walks to waterfalls, bouldering, a little lake to play and swim in, the coffee shop where you can buy a lot of the farms own produced goods and more! Rudi was an amazing host and always responded quickly to my questions pre and during our stay! We really felt so at home here and none of us wanted to leave.

After spending time in some remote locations, Tarantula Guesthouse was the perfect soft landing. The house is incredibly spacious, kept wonderfully cool in the heat, and felt like a true home away from home. We loved the lovely braai area and the pool, which were a hit for both us and our kids. The property is very private from the other cottages, which made it even more relaxing. The full kitchen and access to all DSTV channels added to the convenience, allowing us to unwind completely. We enjoyed our stay so much that we even requested a late check-out because we didn’t want to leave! Hendrina was exceptionally kind, and communication was seamless from start to finish. We can’t recommend this place enough and will definitely be back. Looking forward to staying here again!

This is a very special place, a wilderness experience amid the Cederberg rocks that you can usually only access by hiking long distances. The accommodation is perfectly attuned to the landscape, with every comfort you could need in stone cottages sensitively built to take account of aspect, views and privacy. The mountain rock pool for swimming is an added delight. Original artworks and Africana books in the cottages about the area including fauna and flora enhance the experience. An absolute gem.

Very good communication and trustworthy great host

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the place was clean, comfortable and close to the beach where we enjoyed spectacular sunsets and the waves crashing on the rocks. Only one note able drawback was that there’s no WiFi, which would have been great to have. Thanks for opening your home.

I stayed during a very cold weekend and Retha’s place was so cozy! I had everything I needed, a lot of thought has definitely gone into this place. Thanks Retha!

Fantastic accomodation in an amazing area. Great location for the house and amazing for braai and surf trips. Would definitely recommend it, can’t wait to go back.

Great views and location. Certainly worth the price we paid. Would recommend and stay there again.

Jodie was the best host you could ask for. Very response to all messages I sent him in a short time. The cottage was exactly as described. It was clean, tidy, and felt like a nice, safe, and peaceful place to stay. We stayed for just under a month and loved every moment of it.

Great location! The pictures are a small glimpse of what you can expect from the views. The hosts are very friendly and communicative. The house is fairly well stocked with kitchen utensils and crockery (if you'd like to do some cooking).

We had a lovely stay, Tuis Huis was a perfect base to view the beautiful spring flowers. It is a very clean, comfortable cottage, that is well located.

Fantastic location, stunning house with great potential. Minor issues but can be overlooked. Definitely recommended

We had a great stay at Sarahs beautiful home in Elands Bay. The location was perfect, and I would highly recommend it

Had a wonderful stay in Sutherland. Great assistance and advice from the caretakers.

Spacious house and good kitchen equipment. Nice outside entertaining area
