Luxury Coastal Cabin, Wilderness
Our stay here was the perfect start for our honeymoon! Super stylish cabin with clever design and all round comfort! Robyn realy went the extra mile to make our stay super special with a bottle of bubbly and a very nice card. The property is super private and has a surreal view, even better than the pictures! I would highly recommend this property for any special occasion and if you need a break from the rest of the world! If I could I'd give more than 5 stars all round! Thank you, Robyn. We will be back 😉

The View @ Protea Drive - Pinnacle Point Estate
Absolutely breathtaking! The place was beyond beautiful, with stunning views in every direction. It exceeded all my expectations. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful and picturesque getaway. Thank you Kobus🙏

Candlewood Beach House
Our stay at this beautiful home in Springerbaai Eco Estate was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful surroundings, stunning ocean views, and the sense of total privacy. The house is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday. We especially loved the large deck—it was the perfect spot for morning coffee, seeing the exceptional sunrises and watching the dolphins in the ocean below. We saw wildlife right from the house and enjoyed quiet walks on the estate’s trails and down to the untouched beach. Highly recommend!

Right On The Beach!
Alicia was an amazing host with lightening speed response to any questions. Nothing was too much trouble for her. Beautiful location with breathtaking views and very safe gated community. Highly recommend. Cutest beach cottage ever. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Cliff Top Houses no 8 - Endless sea & forest views
Absolutely loved our stay at this stunning home! The sea views were truly breathtaking — we spent hours just soaking in the scenery from the deck. The house itself was spotless, beautifully decorated, and perfectly equipped for a relaxing getaway. Surrounded by nature, it offered the perfect balance of peace and beauty. We couldn’t have asked for a more serene and memorable experience. Highly recommended!
