The Lookout
We had a lovely stay at Imraan's! The house and the view were so stunning and that made one almost not want to leave the house at all. We also got great recommendations and communication was also very easy. Thank you!

Dithe Rosemary Hut
A fantastic getaway option. The Rosemary hut is perfect for a couple weekend away - remote and romantic. Communication from the host is proactive and they make accommodations and arrangements around your arrival time - like starting the hot tub before your arrival! 10/10 would recommend. The kitchen is well-equipped, and they provide the necessities - like milk, rusks and wine.

Family Paradise. Mountain View’s & Kids' Fun
The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Zinkwazibush: Solar backup power
Rita’s place didn’t disappoint , the unit is lovely just like the pictures and Rita has gone out of her way to think of every little thing that her guests may need, one of the nicest Air Bnb listing we have stayed at,was our first time visiting Marloth park we loved the animals visiting every day. Very peaceful stay and Rita is a very responsive host 💕

Great escape with breathtaking view
We had an amazing time staying at Leon's place over the Easter weekend. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. Amazing views of the Hemel en Aarde valley from the pool or hot tub. We'll definitely come back.

Numbi Valley, a magical Permaculture Farm
A most nourishing experience, with the unfurling vast and varied mountainous landscape, to the silky smooth nutrient rich natural pool to immerse yourself in whilst watching the sun setting, followed by the outdoor fire to delve into conversations or simply star gaze, and then delight in the colourful display and immense flavours of the organic vegetables and fruit. The cottage appears to have been formed out of, and perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings. It offers all the comforts as well as quietude felt through its practical and creative simplicity. You feel completely at ease and peaceful here, as well as childlike wonder through the experience. The outdoor seating, hammock and pool invite you to fully relax and enjoy the expansive surroundings. The birds gift a morning symphony on sunrise and it’s wonderful to look upon and explore the orchids. I was welcomed to further enjoy the studio, offering a perfect space for a yoga and meditation practice. Immense Gratitude

Glen Beach Bungalow Main House
Amazing stay

Skyroo Stud "Gemsbok" Country Cottage
It completely exceeded our expectations! Absolutely stunning place with absolutely everything that you need. With just a short drive out of Cape Town, we felt as if we were miles away from city life. Just an amazing break away and will 100% be going back.

The Lobster Pot - Simons Town Holiday Cottage
Rustic beach house. Not much to the accommodation, simple and comfortable. exceptional location. Loved our stay. Feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary. Would definitely return

Weskus-Beskus Beach Front House, Dwarskersbos.
Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

Pear Tree Cottage garden, pond and mountain view
Had one of the best experiences staying at the lovely cottage. Robert and George’s place is a wonder to behold and spend time in. Peaceful, soothing and charming environment to reconnect with what’s really important in life; the present moment, nature and loved ones. Cannot wait to come back, share the experience with others and enjoy more great conversations with Robert about the beautiful property, his cuddly four paw friends, his amazing fruits and mushrooms✨

Clean House Stilbaai
We had a lovely and comfortable stay. We were two families of four with young kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better location with the beach on your doorstep and we felt right at home. The house was wonderfully equipped and has everything you need to make your stay as easy as possible and wonderfully clean. We would happily go back and would recommend.

Kliphuis
I really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The beautiful sunrise with horses in the yard will never be forgotten. We had an amazing time at Kliphuis and will definitely be back!

Marshall Farm on the river
Such a wonderful, peaceful weekend. Right by the river with a lovely deck to hang out on. Spacious lawn for the young adult to play games. Very private and restful. Thank you David, we will definitely make use of Marshall Farm again.

Whale Rock Beach Villa Plettenbergbay
The house and surroundings are beautiful. From the moment you enter the estate you are greeted with amazing views. House was just pure luxury and so spacious. Had every amenity possible to feel like home. From fresh linen, bath soaps to a Wok and Nespresso coffee machine. Not to mention fire wood for the cold nights. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are planning a trip to Plettenberg bay don’t hesitate to book this place.

The Hide Away - Romantic Cottage to Watch Whales!
Magic little rustic cottage with a cosy bay window to stare out at the ocean. Really enjoyed our stay.

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!
Live Like a Local: Garden Studio @23
Lovely apartment in quiet wonderful area. Gerhard is a really friendly and helpful host.

Manzini River House - Greater Kruger National Park
We had the most incredible stay! The house was absolutely beautiful spacious, clean, and so well-equipped with everything we needed. The setting was nothing short of magical, with breathtaking views of the Crocodile River right from the property. Tim was a fantastic host friendly, responsive, and extremely helpful with recommending local safari providers, which made planning our days so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to return. Highly recommend!

Oyster Beach House - the best views in Plett.
Deans place was wonderful. The views and amenities are amazing. Maria the housekeeper keeps the entire place spotless. I definitely look forward to staying again

Kalliste an exclusive retreat (Solar Power)
Will definitely visit again! This cottage is the perfect coastal escape, surrounded by breathing taking flora and landscapes. The ocean view is spectacular! We felt right at home here and out hosts were just wonderful.

Villa Hermano - Bushveld Retreat Self Catering
A true gem in the bushveld. One of the most beautifully decorated places I have ever stayed. Everything you need was there. Wood available on site, breakfast available on request in the most tranqual setting. The 2 braai areas was well utilized. We loved the big chess board. We did not use the pool as we visited in winter. But for sure, u cant go wrong by booking here!

Luxury Villa with breaker views on Pinnacle Point
Fantastic place to stay. Clean, beautiful place all amenities as mentioned. Absolutely loved it and will definitely try and come back and recommend others too.

Colourful Home with Rooftop and heated Plunge Pool
Heino and Christo's place was a little oasis during our first time in Cape Town. The apartment was safe and secure and had all of the amenities one needed with a supermarket, cafe's and restaurants within walking distance. The hosts were responsive to any requests or needs that we had during our stay and even assisted us with finding other accommodation when our flights were changed, and they had another booking.
