Chalet vacation rentals in Africa

What a gorgeous setting for a family get together. Patricia was so accommodating and willing to help with the logistics and complications of getting to and from a wedding. Although the wedding was a little too far for us , we all agreed that it was a perfect spot to visit again in the future and despite the distance we were really happy to have booked there.

This apartment is great to spend a few days, we were 2 couples and we didn't miss anything. You can park the car inside, it is a few minutes walk from the main promenade of El Palmar, far enough away from the noise. Correct beds, comfortable and large sofa for 4, kitchen with everything you need, beach towels, umbrella, surfboards…Ana and her husband of 10, left us several things for reception and in the blackout, they left us the generator to be able to cook and so on. Highly recommended, we will be back!

We were hosted very well and had a great time at Emilio's place. The house is large and the pool is nice. Very well-equipped!

Such a beautiful, cosy lodge - indoor fire place & jacuzzi just adds to the beauty of this place. Loved our weekend away & will definitely be back. Rose was also so welcoming, friendly and always available, her communication was very good. Thank you!

Second time we stayed here and as a group of four friends it is a perfect spot with all we needed.

One of the best AirBnBs we ever had. Very very huge, because you can also use the pool, the barbecue and the chill out area. Very private, as the whole area is surrounded by walls. Maximum clean. We enjoyed the presence of the cute cats that live in town, especially Negrito. Many good restaurants are just 10 to 15 minutes away by car. You can watch the ocean and the sunrise from the apartment.

William is a great communicator, we had all the instructions on how to get to Fonteinskloof and who to speak to on arrival. Everything was as advertised. The onsite Manager Michael was super welcoming and helpful, we felt at home very quickly. Michael checked in with us regularly to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The surroundings were beautiful. Zebra, waterbuck, blue wildbeest and Oryx were visible from the accommodation. Two walking trails were clearly marked. The unit was spotless, the beds super comfortable, beautiful bathroom. Braai facilities and wood was available and also a wood fire inside for heat. There is a games room with a pool table, foosball table and TV. There is a beautiful pool with a kids jungle gym and trampoline. 10 minutes from Swellendam. Will definitely be visiting again. It was beautiful and super relaxing.

We had a wonderful stay at this cottage. The jacuzzi is undeniably a favorite that offers pleasant relaxation at the end of the day. The access road is narrow and winding, but you get used to it easily after a few trips. The environment is very calm and peaceful. Note that the internet connection is quite slow and the cottage can be cold and humid outside of summer. Ewelina made arrangements to ensure maximum comfort. We were very happy to stay there.

We felt extremely good, the villa is Just as in the photos, Lydia was a very good host and responded very quickly to our questions. What if it is that in the area it is too windy and we almost did not take advantage of the outdoor area

Great house for a family. We liked the whole Santa Ana complex. Parking directly in the enclosure. Pool is nice and big. Beach nearby, as well as the restaurants and the supermarket. Ocean view at dinner. We would definitely come back.

Gonzalo and Pablo were impeccable and incredible hosts. They were very hospitable, available and always responsive. They were flexible about arrival and departure times, and offered plenty of local activities and addresses. The house was as shown in the photos, large, with lots of rooms, a lovely pool and all the necessary amenities. They gave our group of 13 a very warm welcome! I'd recommend this accommodation if you want to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Spanish coast!

It’s our second stay at this lovely villa in less than a year. We love it! It’s super clean and comfortable and a great peaceful setting. There’s a fabulous proper supermarket 10 minutes walk away so you can buy everything you need to cook at home, and the outdoor dining area is a lovely place to spend a quiet evening. A 20 minute walk away is the resort of Costa Adeje itself, where all the big hotels are. Turn left at the beach and it’s quite downmarket ‘Brits abroad’ (yes, I see the irony). Turn right and there are some very chichi boutiques and pretty expensive restaurants on the beach. The walk down to the beach isn’t super-appealing so we’ve only done it once each visit. To be honest there’s very little we wanted to drag ourselves out of this beautiful house for! Thank you, Hugo and Anda!

A very special location where we stayed with 15 people. There were also small children who really enjoyed the heated swimming pool and jacuzzi. Everything was fantastic. There are no words to describe such a beautiful thing. You must have experienced this in order to be able to assess properly. FANTASTIC!!!!!

Our recent stay at Zumbane Lodge was nothing short of magical the experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the breathtaking scenic views. Nestled in nature’s embrace, the lodge offers a serene atmosphere that instantly calms the soul. Whether it was gazing at the rolling hills or listening to the sounds of nature, the setting provided a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The lodges themselves were wonderfully comfortable. The beds were cozy, ensuring restful nights for everyone. The highlight for our group, especially the children, was the amazing pool. Clean, well-maintained, and surrounded by stunning natural views, it was the perfect spot for relaxation and fun. Zumbane Lodge is truly a hidden gem in Zimbabwe. Whether you’re looking for a family getaway, a retreat with friends, or a tranquil solo escape, this lodge delivers on every front. We left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend!

Our stay at this villa was simply unforgettable! The villa is beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. It looks exactly like the photos — actually, even better in real life. The host was incredibly kind and welcoming, and everything was perfectly organized. What impressed us the most was the absolutely breathtaking view from the terrace and the windows: the ocean, the city, and the mountains — waking up at sunrise and enjoying this scenery was pure magic. This place is truly incredible, and I highly recommend everyone to experience it. We were absolutely delighted!

Great place. Exactly as advertised

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at Mohamed’s place. The communication with Mohamed was smooth and prompt, making the booking process hassle-free. The space was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, providing a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. Mohamed was always ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, with a lagoon right in front of the chalet & an amazing Sandy beach just minutes away. I highly recommend Mohamed’s place - We will definitely be back!

The stay was very good, i reserved in the same day i went to the place and Ahmed was at help at a time. The place was very good, clean, filled with needed amenities and la vista topaz is so calm and nice.

The place is beautiful and worth a visit. The chalet deserves 5 stars and the resort is very beautiful, but it needs a car to be able to move from one area to another.

I’m so happy I found Patrick’s Acacia Lodge on Airbnb. I am also thankful it was available as it was a last minute booking. I consider myself lucky. This lodge is one you will keep coming back to whenever you visit Kariba. Every morning upon waking up I had to pinch myself because it didn’t feel real. It was that good. I think what was the icing on the cake though was Freddy the Chef. This gentleman made our stay. He was so attentive and his cooking is better than what you’re going to get at the hotels. Without a doubt. I would like to think that we tipped him well but no matter how much we did I don’t think it could ever be enough. Thank you so much Freddy and for the Super Host Patrick, your place is a gem. Thank you for the hospitality and making our stay so memorable.

We had an incredible stay at Moataz’s place. Squeaky clean penthouse with direct lagoon view and sea view. Roof was amazing. The place has all the amenities. Definitely will be coming back.

We had a lovely stay at Whitestone, the details, layout, decor and surroundings are simply beautiful. Claudia and George are very nice people. I do however feel that the price per night (whether you stay during the week or weekend) is quite steep when I compare it to other luxury airbnbs we have stayed in. We’ve been to airbnbs with hot tubs and breathtaking views, with beautiful designs etc, but at a more reasonable price. A qualm of ours was that the hot tub took 7 hours the first night to heat up from cold with continuous stoking(the hole is too deep), and still was only warm, not hot after all that time. The smoke from the fire/braai doesn’t have any real ventilation because again the hole was built very deep so it makes it hard to bbq without inhaling smoke between that and the hot tub. It is gorgeous, but maybe a bit more worth it if it wasn’t at such a high price when compared to what else is out there. This is just our opinion.

Amazing place to take the family, peaceful and beautiful views of the lake. Warren the manager was very friendly and super helpful. Would definitely recommend. My family and I had a awesome time

Nice place, clean and quiet! Khaled was a great host, very friendly and flexible. Recommended.
