Southern Cross Oceanview Beach House
WOW, what an amazing house. We had the best 2 days staying at Linda's place. Extraordinary house with a tree growing in the lounge and super stylish all around. We were absolutely amazed by all the facilities and the most amazing views (we spotted dolphins from the balcony) and would return in a heartbeat. Communication with Linda was great from the get go and her recommendations where spot on. The beach is a stone throw away and we wished we could have stayed longer. Doubt you find a better accommodation in the area, with a fully kitted supermarket (and liquor store) a 5 minute drive away. We'll be back 100%. Thank you Linda for a beautiful stay!

Leisure Isle Retreat, Knysna, South Africa
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!

Luxury Home on the Garden Route with Solar power
We had a fantastic stay at Peet's Place. Right on the beach for morning and evening strolls. Beautiful ocean views from the lounge/dining area, balcony and upper deck. The communal space is big enough to accommodate all guests comfortably, with the bedrooms and en-suites giving you privacy when required . The accommodation had everything we needed and more. We loved our stay and hope to be back soon.

We had an incredible stay at this beautiful home. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the atmosphere was so peaceful , it was the perfect getaway for our family. We visited in winter and, although we were initially concerned about the cold, we were pleasantly surprised to find heated blankets on the beds, a gas heater, and a cozy indoor fireplace that made our stay extra comfortable. The host was lovely, welcoming us warmly and always available when we needed assistance. The location was central, easy to find, and close to everything we needed. We were genuinely sad to leave and are already looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommended!

Modern, airy waterside home with scenic views
We had a fantastic stay at Cecile’s house. It was just like the pictures, beautiful location and Cecile was so helpful. The welcome package she left us was lovely too

Sedgefield Holiday Accommodation
Our principle contact was Jonathan who couldn’t have done more for us, a superb host who lives nearby. The property is well equipped throughout and located in a safe residential area just 200m from the estuary. We spent 24 wonderful days there. One point is that internal access to the upstairs is by a rather narrow spiral staircase which might not suit all ie elderly but for others ie children a point of excitement. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending both the property and hosts as a wonderful home to relax and unwind in. We’ve only found one other to match!

Frog Mountain Getaway - Candlewood Rondavel
A Truly Magical Escape – Frog Mountain Stole Our Hearts Wow, some places truly touch your soul, and Frog Mountain is one of them. You can feel the love, care, and passion that Gabriela has poured into creating this magical retreat. Our stay was nothing short of incredible. From the joy of walking up to the labyrinth and witnessing a breathtaking sunset to the pure exhilaration of squealing down the foofy slide—every moment felt special. We loved hiking to the waterfall and rock pools, immersing ourselves in nature’s beauty. Our cozy rondavel felt like a warm hug after each day of adventure. The charm of Frog Mountain extends beyond the landscapes—it’s in the horses grazing peacefully, the cows wandering the fields, and the symphony of beautiful birdsong each morning. Swimming in the river was a refreshing delight, and every corner of this place felt like a gift to the soul. We are deeply grateful

Wish we could have stayed longer - pure paradise! We loved every second here, especially falling asleep to the sound of the stream outside the cottage! Thanks for a lovely stay 😊

Best Little Beach Bungalow in Nature's Valley
This bungalow transported us to our childhood holidays. As a family with 2 kids, we were so comfy and just loved this spot. Comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. Outdoor taps to wash off all the sand. Cute kitchen with everything you need, and a cozy lounge for card games. Lovely deck with bright red chairs that we assume resemble the colour of the Loerie's wings, that fly past everyday. Quick and easy to walk to the beach and the kids loved riding their bikes safely to the shop for ice creams. Endless activities, walking, biking, fishing, hiking, swimming, paddling. Honestly PARADISE on earth. The lagoon is beautiful but we loved the walk over to the sea against that huge mountain where the otter trail ends. The turquoise blue ocean was incredible. We cannot wait to come back to our new favourite place!

Lekkerkry Cottage
Great spot. Kids loved the surroundings and the Ratex gym was a bonus for them too.
