Family-friendly holiday rentals in Franschhoek

We had the most wonderful stay at The Lookout. A well equipped, beautiful space with amazing views. St James itself is also a lovely spot. We loved looking in the unique shops, having coffees, and feeling so free, we would definitely like go back. Imraan and his family were so friendly and welcoming. Just what we needed after a long stressful journey.

Great place! Loved the pedal boat option. Perhaps not so ideal if you have toddlers because the staircase does not have rails. Minor issue really and other than that we had a good stay.

Die Unterkunft ist gemütlich und sehr schön gelegen. Annekè ist sehr freundlich.

Such a beautiful, cosy lodge - indoor fire place & jacuzzi just adds to the beauty of this place. Loved our weekend away & will definitely be back. Rose was also so welcoming, friendly and always available, her communication was very good. Thank you!

Absolutely loved it. Earthy and private and loved every second, wanted to stay longer. Hot tub was amazing. Takes a while to heat up but is fun to test the temperature and still warm in the morning if u play it right. Pool is fantastic. Nothing to complain about.

Awesome spot for 2/3 families with children, alternatively 5 couples. Lovely entertainment room and very central to shops/ restaurants and wine farms.

Very beautiful place to stay, felt at home right away. Has loads of space. Very peaceful and quiet. Didier was very helpful and responsive. Awesome property!

Beautiful location - perfect for those who want to run the Stellenbosch Winelands marathon. Mother and I jumped in the hot tub immediately after the race. Stunning views and great amenities to make the stay so cosy and relaxing.

They are perfects hosts, flexible scheduling. A wonderful and well-maintained home. The house is fully equipped. Great for spending a few days with friends or family.

Eine schöne, süße Unterkunft. Für uns als kleine Familie (mit einer 4-Jährigen Tochter) reichte das vollkommen aus. Der kleine „Erfrischungs-Pool“ war für uns perfekt. Wenn man richtig kochen möchte, erscheint uns die Küche und die Möglichkeiten recht klein - aber man kann zu Fuß oder mit dem Auto (2min) zu einem tollen Restaurant (Deux Lions) kommen, in dem es von Fr-So ein tolles Frühstück gibt. Und sowieso die anderen Restaurants in der Stadt sind großartig und nicht weit entfernt.

Liebrecht was a great host, very flexible for check in and check out, and the accomodation was beautiful. I highly recommend it! Thanks Liebrecht!

I rented the house for my wife, two kids and some friends. We had a very great stay and a good time at the house. Everything was as expected and described by the owners. We had a very good communication with them before and during our stay. They are so lovely and helpful. Restaurants are close, also grocery store and a mall. The beach is just 7 minutes away by car and around 20-35min to downtown depending on traffic. Also once a week the house is cleaned with no extra charge. All together 5 Stars from us! Thank you very much.

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful, well equipped and tastefully decorated. High quality and well appointed kitchen. Gorgeous outside area for dining, and a little plunge pool for hot days. The town is walkable and full of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this house for a wonderful Franshhoek holiday.

Mieke’s cottage truly is a home from home. The home has all amenities, modern and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. There was a lovely welcome selection of drinks in the fridge, and a lovely bottle of wine. Lozanne is a wonderful host - she is attentive and kind. The children (and the adults) absolutely loved the animals. The splash pool was a lovely treat. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were so sad to leave. We felt safe and secure at all times. When needed, Lozanne and her husband were on hand when we had a question. We hope to return to stay at the cottage when we visit in 2026. 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you for making our visit to South Africa such a special one.

We had a great stay at Jay & Phil’s. Very conveniently located. Jay & Phil are wonderful hosts. I’d most definitely recommend the stay!

Always a wonderful experience staying here! The house is always clean and has a safe and good location. Will recommend everyone who get the opportunity to stay here and get to experience Gerjo´s warm and loving home. Thank you and hope to see you again!

We had a lovely stay. The house is very comfortable and quiet. We will definitely stay there again. Lily is a great host.

A lovely space in a perfect location. Riana welcomed us and was great throughout our stay. Really responsive and helpful. The apartment is well laid out and comfortable and the communal area with the pool is fantastic. So many lovely restaurants within a short walk of the apartment. We recommend a visit to Franschhoek and Le Petit Bijou apartments. Thanks for a great stay.

Beautiful place with great attention to details. Very well equipped kitchen, bathrooms and pool area.

Jane’s glasshouse is a peaceful and thoughtfully designed retreat, offering a perfect place to unwind while being close to the winelands. The setting is tranquil, with attention to detail that makes the space feel welcoming and comfortable. Jane is a gracious and responsive host, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable stay. Rafa, her friendly golden retriever, is a delightful presence, adding to the charm of the place. We had a restful time and would happily return when in the area.

We had a lovely stay! Central to everywhere we wanted to go in Cape Town. Great accommodation with everything we needed.

Amazing spot, just such a beautiful spot! The kinda place you want to stay for weeks not days. Clean and loads of space. Right on the edge of town, walkable in/out, and feels so safe. Great communication with Mike, who is a great host.
