Family-friendly vacation rentals in Brenton-on-Sea

The host is very nice and responsive. She was also patient with us as we had to change our check-in time due to unforeseen circumstances.

I can't wait to return. The serene farm stay was perfect for a family break from the city's hustle and bustle. There was a sprawling lawn for the kids to enjoy themselves, and the crate of bats/balls, etc., was put to good use. It is eye-opening to see what the city kids are missing. The hike to the river was amazing, and not once did the kids have a chance to even think of saying they were tired, as nature kept them guessing around every corner. Linda was amazing from the initial communication post-booking until after checkout. Genuine farm hospitality!

Very luxurious residence, charming view, stunning beach and restaurant and very close café. Highly recommended!

Cheryl was a lovely, responsive host. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at her beautiful cottage. The space was immaculate, the beds really comfortable and the peaceful surroundings and amenities at the property were fantastic. We would definitely return should we have the opportunity to do so. This is a highly recommended spot! And Cheryl a wonderful host.

What a magical place! Linda is the most accommodating and tentative host we’ve ever had!! It is the perfect place for a family and truly an amazing spot for complete R&R. From the walks around the farm, swimming in the rockpools, the jungle gym, feeding the calves and the recommendation to see the 800+year old tree! What an amazing experience! Wish we had stayed much longer than 2 nights! We will definitely be back for a longer visit!

We had an excellent stay in this beautiful home. Very peaceful sitting outside by the canal. The house is much bigger than what we thought it from the photos! A really great getaway!!

It s an amazing place very chill peaceful and beautiful The honey moon sweet is amazing with the jacuzzi on a beautiful view of a lac I love it we had a very good time

Amazing view! Lovely spot and a very good hostess.

This house was worth every penny, from the surroundings to the house itself, it met every expectation and more. The host is also extremely friendly so we were all happy about the experience. Highly recommended.

Great stay in Wilderness at Marianne's well kept cottage. My wife, pup and I spent 4 great nights and had everything we needed. It's a quick hop into town and the unit was fantastic. Will definitely be back!

5 Stars – A Slice of Paradise in Knysna! We had the most incredible stay at this beautiful home in Knysna. From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcomed — the hosts greeted us warmly and had thoughtfully left snacks, a bottle of wine, and even a delicious cake for us to enjoy. Such a special touch that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The house itself is stunning — spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped with everything we needed. The peaceful location made it the perfect place to unwind. We loved spending time on the patio, soaking in the scenery, and enjoying relaxed evenings by the fire. The location is ideal too — just a short drive from town, yet far enough to feel like a private retreat. This place truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable stay!

what an awesome experience!! Julia is a great host, everything was explained well and easy to understand. what a bucket list experience and highly recommend visiting! super close to the waterfront with great restaurants and the mall is close by. secure parking for your car is also available so you don't have to worry. nothing beats waking up to the sunrise on a houseboat! wifi, hot water and all the amenities of a normal house just on the water, so awesome!

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Beautiful property and loved our stay.

We loved our stay at Helga's cottage. Wonderful outdoor balcony to relax and watch and hear the birds in the garden. Right next to a big open park area which is perfect for the dogs and just a couple of minutes walk from The Bell restaurant. Close to Brenton on Sea and a 5 minute drive to Knysna Central. We love staying in Belvedere for the quietness and nature. Thank you Helga for welcoming us and our 3 dogs, we all had a wonderful holiday and hope to return soon.

A perfect getaway! The space was even better than the pictures—cozy, quiet, and centrally located. Loved the thoughtful extras like Nespresso coffee, milk, and fast Wi-Fi. Would absolutely return!

Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

lovely little cottage that is so beautifully decorated. The outside areas are so beautiful and there is a lovely water feature just outside the door which makes the whole area just feel so soothing and definitely not like in the middle of a big city! I was traveling through Knysna with a vehicle full of things as I am relocating and Lesley even made space in her garage so that I could safely park my car in it as the vehicle couldn't lock. I would definitely recommend this spot to anyone! lovely accommodation and a super lovely host!

This is really a small house with all the things you need for a holiday in the mountains of Hoekwil. Walkable to the village centre. Nestled in the garden with a great sense of privacy and a view of the mountains through trees. We only spent a night on a stop-over, but I imagine it would be a great space for friends or a small family to hang out together.

A great option if need a break, but want options if get bored. A place you could easily spend a week to relax.

Lovely unit, very well and considerately stocked with milk, tea, coffee, etc. Comfiest couch ever! Highly recommended.

The villa is amazing and the people who are taking care of it is so nice especially Mrs.Amelia and her husband was so kindness. I totally recommend renting this place.

Beautiful. The view from the deck was just breathtaking. the ( pool) snooker table and table tennis was a winner. Swimming pool stunning is stunning. It was just too cold for swimming. The bookshelf is amazing. Much to choose from

Nico went out of his way to make sure we had a comfortable stay. We had a wonderful time and will surely go back there whenever we're in Knysna :)
