10/10. Absolutely awesome location, wonderful units with lots of additional amenities and activities included (pool, bicycles, SUP boards, veggie garden, laundry, etc.), and an incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful team. We couldn’t recommend this more, and will be back as much as possible!

Bontebok House - Drie Kuilen

VeraRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Beeindruckende Gegend und wunderschönes Haus. Wenn man etwas vergessen hat, kann man die wichtigen Dinge vor Ort im Shop kaufen (z.B. Streichhölzer, Holz, Kaffee). Es fehlte nur ein Schürhaken für den Ofen. Ansonsten ist die Unterkunft super ausgestattet. Wir haben einen Game Drive dazu gebucht. Das war ein tolles Erlebnis.

Africa Hinterland - Modern Home in Security Estate

JacquesRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Everything was very good, especially the cleaning service twice a week, which was a great bonus. The only downside was that it could be a bit noisy in the mornings due to the nearby quarry.

Luxury romantic apartment at the ocean 1h CapeTown

Luke KroneRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This was deep exhale from the rush of everyday life. We spent slow mornings listening to the ocean and quiet evenings watching the sun set over False Bay. It is a rare kind of place that leaves you softer, quieter, and more connected to yourself. Thank you Eva and Marina, you will see us soon again. ✨❤️

Thesen Island Luxury Penthouse

IngridRating, 5 stars1 month ago
It is our second time staying here and we most definitely come back again. Centrally located with the most beautiful views over the lagoon. Surrounded by restaurants and shops but apartment is private and quiet at night. Kitchen is well equipped with all necessary to cook any meal. Extras like purified water and cookies. Open plan lounge and dining area. Netflix and You Tube available. Lovely bedroom with lots of cupboards. Bathroom with shower and bath. We can recommend this accommodation if you love nature and also like to be centrally located.

We had a fantastic time staying at Andrew's place! The apartment was beautifully, and the kitchen was fully stocked with everything I needed. I did encounter a few issues on arrival but they were resolved swiftly and the communication throughout was perfect. Andrew and Lauren were very accommodating. Thank you so much for an amazing stay! Your apartment was spotless and the location was perfect for exploring the city. I really appreciated your quick responses. You clearly put a lot of thought into making your guests feel welcome, and it showed. I'd highly recommend you to anyone looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience. We can't wait to come back.

Kaaimans River Villa -kayaks, views, waterfall

GregRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Every now and then you come across special places in the world, places you feel truly priveleged to be able to visit. This is one of them. It's a wonderful place to stay, it's a whole experience being there, both wild and rustic but also comfortable and set up just right. The cottage is perfect. A great space for two to share, cosy and decorated with a minimal but excellent taste, the kitchen has everything you need, be it for storing some snacks or more concerted cooking. (of, for example, delicious things you find at the nearby Sedgefield market). The area is wonderful to explore, jump in a kayak and go! And, sure, you can hear the traffic across the way, but at least in mu opinion, it just doesn't matter. Stay for as many nights as you can, you're going to want to. Thank you Gustav for sharing this special place.

Kareekloof Conservancy - Elands Family Cottage

EllouiseRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were a bit surprised by the 10km stretch of public dirt road leading to the farm — we had expected only a few kilometers of gravel once on the property — but it was still perfectly manageable with a sedan. The thoughtful touches on arrival really made us feel welcome: a chilled G&T, the hot tub already heated, and a freshly baked loaf of bread waiting for us. The game drive the next day was a highlight. Uncle Steve shared many fascinating, history-rich spots with us, making the experience both educational and memorable. Next time (when not pregnant!), we’ll definitely take advantage of the kayaking — the lakes are absolutely beautiful — and we’d love to stay longer, as the game drive takes up most of the day. Highly recommended!
