Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Graaff-Reinet

To see the workings of a multi-generational family farm, stay in a 170 year old house with beautiful high-quality furniture and fittings, and engage with a kind and gentle-natured farmer and his wife…was wonderful. A gentle desert rain arrived as we got there and set the tone for one of the most restful holidays we have ever had. The farmer’s 2 dogs popped in every now and again and made themselves part of the family. Richard and Anika were accommodating and quick to sort out anything we asked for. The house was spotlessly clean and filled with history from the 1800s. There was a sense of warmth with the people living / working on the farm as well. The drive to Nieu Bethesda was around 15min going up a gorgeous gentle pass which presented something new every time we travelled. The highlight of the stay was walking up the hill behind the house and sitting on the bench overlooking the farm, valley, and mountains at sunset. Thank you Richard and Anika (our kids say hi).

This was our second stay, and it did not disappoint! There is something comforting about coming back to a place you stayed at before to find it's exactly as you remember it, especially in a different season! We arranged some t-bone steaks with Nilene and had them on the braai with a glass of wine, looking at the stars - it couldn't get better! Our top tips: You must drive a high-clearance vehicle to reach the cottage. Bring warm slippers and a gown to sit outside and look at the stars at night in autumn and winter. Order or bring your firewood in autumn and winter - you will love the fire! Arrange some steaks or chops with Nilene before travel so you have something delicious to look forward to for dinner! Finally, enjoy the silence, the cool, clean air, and the beautiful surroundings!

Our family of four came from East London meeting up with my in-laws from Carnarvon for a long weekend three night stay. Lara's place was awesome, the kids loved Netflix. The indoor & outdoor braai is awesome giving you options depending on the weather. Supermarkets are really close by to get groceries and the rest is all at the accomodation to cater for one self. The beds were super comfortable and two bathrooms were really convenient. Furniture in the house are also top class. Highly recommend Lara's place for anybody seeking accommodation in Graaff Reinet.

Great place to stay, very spacious

We had a wonderful stay! The stoep, lawn, and braai area were perfect for the kids to enjoy. The house was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The secure parking was a huge plus, especially for an overnight stop on the way to the coast—there was no need to unload the entire car. We highly recommend this place to anyone passing through or staying in town!

Awesome place, and perfectly situated in town. The host was awesome, and the place looked very nice. We really enjoyed ourselves.

Classic location for our big group of family and friends. Beautiful old homestead surrounded by nature. We'll be back.

The perfect place for a stopover en route to a further destination. Everything you need in a very neat unit. Very friendly and accommodating hosts. I will definitely return.

Anne’s place is clean, peaceful and quiet. Spent the night before heading back home. Worth the price. Thanks for having me Anne

A perfect over night stay, within walking distance of the heart of Graaf Reneit. We were very comfortable, thank you!

Couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!

Thank you for an awesome stay! Love your place and it had everything we needed for our quick stop over! We’ll definitely return.

Stayed at Spandou Manor for the Stoep Tasting weekend. Stan is a fantastic host. The accommodation is perfect for a couples weekend away. Close to town and really peaceful. Highly Recommend.

Excellent place to stay will definitely stay there on my way back home.

We had a short notice stay over and was pleasantly surprised. We really enjoyed the aircon and ceiling fan. Good barbecue facilities were available and the unit is nicely fenced in. We travelled with our small dog. The room was clean and comfortable. Close to some cute restaurants around the corner. I would definitely recommend for people passing Graaff-Reinet and are considering staying for the night.

We absolutely loved our stay - all you need for a nights stay. Centrally located and such nice restaurants in close proximity! We will definitely be back

Absolute wonderful stay in a very cozy and stylish apartment. Strongly recommended!

We stopped over here on route from Pretoria to George. It was such a blessing. Comfortable, beautifully furnished, clean, all the amenities you need as well as more to just make you feel looked after. It definitely brought us the rest we needed. Carina was also super helpful and provided a lot of information and assistance. Thank you for a lovely stay, would definitely recommend it. Beautiful town with lovely old houses and wide open roads with incredible nature surrounding it. We had a picnic breakfast at the valley of Desolation ( Make time to do so) before continuing our trip.

Wonderful place to stay! Dennis was friendly and very helpful. He ensured the aircon was turned on before we arrived (on a very hot day) and it was very easy to communicate with him. We would definitely stay here again.

Very nice accommodation well located. We arrived on a very hot day, the pool was amazing to cool down in and the rooms had aircon.

Exactly what I was looking for, well kitted out and nice and quiet.
