Cottage vacation rentals in Western Cape

We absolutely loved our stay didn’t want to leave, sadly missed out last night due to work, would definitely go back!

We stayed in the Tango cottage at De Wilge for three nights in late April as part of our family trip to the Nuy Valley, Worcester, and Robertson. We were so impressed by Amanda, our hostess, who was warm, friendly, and super knowledgeable about the area… She made excellent recommendations for local outings and she was so kind and welcoming! My wife loved the cottage’s beautiful and tasteful décor and our teenager couldn’t get enough of the hot tub and the stunning mountain views. All in all, a wonderful place to kick back, relax, and unwind. Thank you for having us, Amanda!

What a wonderful unexpected stay. Perfectly located with breathtaking surroundings/ well planned house with everything and more you could possibly need. Probably one if the best (if not the best) air bnb’s we have ever stayed at! Will definitely be back again, if i could give you 10 starts, I would! Thank you

This is really the perfect stay if you want a break away from the city. The farm was quiet, and private. The hot tub and indoor fireplace was the highlight to add that cosiness to a good winter holiday. The cottage was well equipped with everything you need for a short stay. Madri was also a great host and easy to reach when needed.

Lovely place to stay. Great for two legged and your legged kids! and very convenient location.

This is a lovely cottage with a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic mountain views. There were a couple of snags during our stay, but the hosts were quick to respond to any needs

Phillippa was a fantastic host! And absolutely gorgeous home! ✨✨✨

We loved our stay, the fire place was amazing and the hot tub was so nice in the cold weather. Everything we needed was there and it was a great weekend away.

A very peaceful stay. Was a great spot for our dog completely fenced and we could walk freely daily. Definitely will book again.

Fantastic place to stay when visiting beautiful Somerset West. Great host, great accommodation, very safe place. Book your next visit at Philipp's place!!

The Cottage at Wetlands exceeded my expectations. Everything was so perfect and was great attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend staying there. I know I will be staying there again.

What a tranquil breakaway - went there to work and sitting outside on the patio in the sun watching the birds was amazing. Walks on the farm in the Karoo was breathtaking. My dogs loved it as well. Bishop was so friendly and helpful. Bought some goodies as the olive shop.

Koringberg is a delightful little town, and staying at the Red House is the best way to experience it. It is beautiful designed and styled, with such attention to detail. The Red House has everything you need and is laid out in a way making it impossible to not to relax and enjoy the morning bird calls, afternoon sunshine by the pool and meals with friends around the dining table with a cosy fire. We could have easily stayed so much longer. Best suited to people wanting to chill, as there isn't anything happening in this small town other than relaxing. Also preferably for family or close friends as bathrooms are through the two bedrooms for anyone staying in the third bedroom.

We had a great stay at At Patat for the week. It is a well located venue in a secure estate. The house was nice and clean. We struggled a bit with the check in and check out. During check in, the care taker struggled finding our reservation. Then also had my wrong mobile number, and not the one I sent to the owner. On the day of check out, the care take sent us a message 35min before check out saying that we should bring the keys because they want to come and clean for the next visitors. We couldn't find the hair dryer in the house, which was on the listing, so just take your own. Also couldn't find any braai tongs, only a braai grid. Really enjoyed staying and At Patat!

Amazing place. I can’t recommend it more. It had the best view and the apartment was extremely spacious. This should be your no brainer first choice to stay at in Knysna

We love staying at this cottage, the furniture is comfortable, there is a wood stove in the lounge, the pillows nice and soft, the kitchen has everything you need. The verandah looks onto a garden with a beautiful views of the hills. It is ideal if you are travelling with dogs. We will be back.

We had a wonderful stay at the Owl House! We were met by the friendliest team and felt right at home. There is a beautiful sense of privacy here and the indoor fireplace made for very cosy evenings. Would definitely return again 😊

This was the second time that we stayed in this home. It is beautiful and well equipped. It is perfectly located and easy to walk to the Main Street in Franschhoek. We will definitely be back again.

We really enjoyed our stay! The home was so cosy, peaceful and it had everything we needed for the perfect getaway. We would definitely return and appreciate your hospitality Manuela and Dani.

This place is a tucked away jewel of a spot! I was lucky enough to spend my birthday weekend here with my family and I couldn’t have wished for a more peaceful tranquil stunningly beautiful spot. An absolute hidden gem even better than in pics. Mareli was a fantastic host and we spent our weekend walking in the beautiful mountains, braaing and swimming in the clear clean mountain river. Take me back already!

We had a perfect, restful stay in this little gem. The cottage is carefully sited on a rocky hillside overlooking the surprisingly green valley below. Stephanie was the ideal host, and was available throughout. The best part of this place is the indoor/outdoor lifestyle, highlighted by a verandah that felt larger than the home itself. We highly recommend this tranquil getaway, and look forward to our next visit in the future!

The views are AMAZING! Matt is an extremely organised and generous host. Loved our weekend there.

We had the most incredible family stay in this beautiful, secluded wildlife estate. The ocean views were breathtaking, and spotting dolphins through the binoculars the host provided was a daily highlight. Our kids loved the animals and nature walks, and the beach—just a short walk away—was perfect even in winter, with warm weather and thoughtful touches like beach chairs and toys. The home was cozy and luxurious, with soft bedlinen, a deep bath, and big showers—pure bliss after a beach day. We loved the Nespresso machine and enjoying cappuccinos on the deck with visits from a fisant and friendly mouse at sunrise. The layout of the home was perfect for quality family time, and we’d copy it for our own house if we could! Huge thanks to Ruth for being a fantastic, responsive host and to Jamal for his help and great communication. A truly unforgettable experience—we can’t wait to return!

Very nice place and great host.
