Marina Beach House
Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Beach Holiday Home, Southbroom. Solar Power & H2O.
very nice place,very clean and well maintained. next time I go to the south coast I'll definitely use this place. i can say value for money i fact mo ey is less than the value

Luxury at 230 (House)
An absolutely wonderful experience. Two of us stayed for a month while working at a hospital locally, and it was perfect. Even before we arrived Nikki gave lots of useful information about local weather and things to do. Nikki and Tom were so kind and helpful, meeting us when we arrived and making sure we were settled in and had everything we needed. They were responsive throughout our stay and really made us feel at home, as well as giving lots of great recommendations of things to do and places to go. The house and pool are well kept and feel very safe and private as it’s back away from the main street. Overall would highly recommend.

Modern Contemporary Zen Tree House Sparkling Pool
We had an absolutely fantastic time staying in Gardens! It’s just a great area with a lot of restaurants around. You can see the Lions had from the pool and be in Camps Bay or V&A in 15 minutes by car. The house is great. You basically feel like you are in Costa Rica or somewhere in the jungle when you wake up or have a coffee on the terrace. We loved it!

Hoogwater Cottage
We loved the little space we had for ourselves Although it is busy with workers right behind our space which means no walking around naked 😅 but hot tub and grass patch was exactly what we needed for a quick getaway And it is still somewhat private and definitely feels peaceful Maybe an AC for hot summer days would be great We loved it and would recommend

Sunshine, views, beach, kitchenette, bbq.
What an amazing little place! We loved everything about our stay, apart from our visit being too short. "Room With a View" definitely lived up to its name, absolutely beautiful views. It was spotlessly clean, very comfortable with absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need. John, was so warm and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. We loved our stay and getting to see how beautiful Knysna is. Thank you so much to you all, we will most definitely be back and hopefully for much longer! x

Orchard Stay
An absolute piece of paradise this place is!!! will definitely recommend and definitely will return. a beautiful clean and very well maintained property with amazing views and Privacy. a great break from the noise of daily life. Absolutely LOVED IT

Nirvana Cottage
Nathan’s place was the perfect location for our family of four to explore Capetown. The cottage is cosy with all the necessary amenities m, and we felt right at home. Nathan is a friendly and approachable host that made us feel very welcome, and he had a ton of local suggestions and tips on where to visit. The neighbourhood felt very safe and family friendly, there is a lovely playground across the street, and a shopping village/ mall 5 minutes drive- it truly is the perfect location for a short or longer term stay in Capetown and we will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

Contemporary Barn style house
Beautiful house where we immediately felt right at home. Lovely views and walking distance to great restaurants. Excellent and accommodating staff. Highly recommended.

Casa La Robertson
I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Ruby Sun Farm Cottage
Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

Hermitage Huisies: Guinea Fowl Cottage
What a gem! Perfect location offering the best of both worlds - the serenity of a countryside setting and natural surroundings, yet a 5 minute drive into town for restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. With breathtaking views of the mountains and farm (complete with horses, sheep, donkeys and more) from your patio, ample birdsong, a spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, well-equipped, cozy cottage with an incredibly comfortable bed and enormous shower - one couldn't ask for more! Nadia is a kind, thoughtful and attentive host...I cannot wait to stay here again :)

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.

Wild, off-the-grid, style & comfort solar-powered.
The view. It was stunning!! Horses walking past early in evening, a little pond for the dogs to swim in, lovely walks in the evening 🌟 It was lovely and peaceful! Just a warning- one of the far away neighbours has a dog that’s seems pretty aggressive, if you’re taking a doggo, just beware of that one! But that’s no reflection on how amazing the accommodation was! I’ll be back!!!

Garden Corner - beautiful home close to amenities
FIona and Arnold have a wonderfully private, restful retreat that's also very walkable to great coffee shops, restaurants, and stores. We stayed for a month, and as a family of five, found the house to be well-appointed, stylish, and comfortable. The host we're incredibly responsive and helpful. Given the chance, we'd stay here again! Thank you for a great stay!

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.

Luxury Modern Atlantic Seaboard Villa
We had an awesome time at Daniel’s place. The house is spacious and well apportioned and the location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and all the shops / restaurants in Sea Point. House is very well kitted out especially for kids with loads of toys and books to keep the little ones entertained. Ireen was also a god send - she kept the house spotless and also looked after our little one! We’ll definitely be back!

PLETTENBERG BAY's CASA da PAZ- AN AMAZING PLACE
It was a pleasure for us to stay at Lenas Place. We were warmly welcomed by the owners who also speak german. The place itself is close to the beach and only 7 minutes from the Robberg Nature Reserve in a secured area. If we would come back to Plett, we would book this apartment again. Thank you for the nice stay :-)

Porpoise Lodge, 4 Bedroom House, Pool, Quiet Area,
