Bungalow vacation rentals in Southern Africa

i had a really lovely week at this sweet and cozy place! felt comfortable and home from the first moment i entered. very easy accessible and just a short walk from the beach or the restaurants. definitely gonna come back next time i am around!

This place is stunning! Chris is a fantastic host and was always available if we had a question. Location is beautiful. House is amazing. This is our second time staying and we will always go back when in Cape Town.

Wow, what a find and where to start! From the check in to check out Karen and Gary made us feel very welcome. The cottage is located in a truly stunning place with a view that can not be explained but has to be experienced first hand. The cottage itself is very large with enough space to go around, both in- and outside. It's withing walking distance to swim in the Indian ocean and a couple of minutes drive to "downtown" Simon's Town. We found Berthas one of our favorite restaurants but there are many good oprtions. Another couple of minutes drive and you're at the Harbour Bay Mall where you find everyting you may need for a self catered stay. The cottage has a nice Braai area by the pool in the back and a great terrace to sit by at the front letting you have a sundowner as you take in the view. Karen and Gary: thank you for making our 11 days in Cape Town a memory we will treasure for life.

A piece of paradise! The beachfront location can not be beat. Accessible only by a sand road requiring 4x4, the property is very peaceful. You can enjoy days spent walking along nearly empty beaches, watching the tide come in and out, exploring a nearby sand dune, or taking boat trips to the Bazaruto Archipelago. If you’re lucky, you can book your boat excursions with Steve (ask the hosts to connect you!) The lodge is rustic and wonderful. Don’t expect things to be shiny and modern! But everything is kept very clean and tidy, with daily housekeeping. The kitchen is well-equipped but you will need to bring any consumables with you. Keep that in mind as going into town takes 40min each way. The beach varies a great deal with the tides but is always pleasant for swimming - you just might have to walk for a bit! There’s a small rocky part at the top of the beach but not an issue to navigate: at high tide you can wade in using the concrete paths, low tide bring your sandals :)

Gorgeous bungalow on Clifton 3, the perfect spot for a family or group of friends to land in Cape Town. Thanks for world class hospitality!

Thank you Jane and Barry for wonderful stay. Smitswinkel Bay is incredibly beautiful from the sand and sea in the day to the sky and stars at night. I have never experienced such beautiful surroundings - truly a once in a lifetime experience. The property itself is immaculate and a marvel given the probable difficulty in getting building materials to it! All modern interior with the exception of installed lighting and WiFi/reliable cellular connection - the lack of which adds to the experience. There is nothing else you could want or need for a trip to relax and detach from modern life. Plenty of information provided to us before the visit to help in planning the trip. Check in process was perfect with Barry escorting us to the property. I would have no reservations about recommending this property or Jane/Barry as hosts.

Fantastic area. One of the most beautiful places we stayed at. Will stay here again next year.

The place was as described. Beautiful property set on the beach with restaurants within walking distance. Would highly recommend this place if you are looking to relax and unwind. You don't need a noise canceller, just crack the window and listen to the ocean waves! Thanks for allowing us to share your wonderful space!

We would move in permanently if we could. A truly magical stay thank you!

This is a very convenient place and is walkable (20 mins) to shops and restaurants. This place offers good value and with a kitchen including basics and utensils which works well if you like to self cater as well as eat out. The host is responsive and helpful. We enjoyed our time here.

was amazing experience. the quiet environment, the beauty of the cottage and the amazing hike with Simon was the cherry on top of the cake. amazing experience

We so loved staying here. Location second to none. Amazing sunsets and Mountain View’s. A few minor issues at beginning were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The staff who were dealing with any problems always quick to respond.

Natasha’s place was absolute heaven and the 3km bumpy dirt road to get there was perfectly manageable in our Kwid. And well worth the magical peaceful space. Thank you.

It was comfortable staying in the house. All amenities, good beds for sleep, quiet and safe place. Thank you Pamela! Will visit you again.

Great place in a great location. The hosts were super kind and communicative.

It was lovely again Thanks and see you next time.
