Meerendal Cottage-Affordable Luxury-Pool & Hot Tub
Exceptional Place with exceptional hosts. There is not one thing lacking with this stay, everthing you can think of is there. Such a spacious safe space to relax and enjoy your stay. We stayed with our kids (4 & 1 years old) Hazel and Christo made sure we had everything we needed and more. We will definitely recommend this accommodation to anyone and we will be back for another visit soon. Thank you Hazel and Christo for everything.

I didn't expect the living area to be so big! Jacuzzi with a view of the stars definitely 5+ Thank u!

Ballygale 547 - Family Beach Retreat
We had such a memorable stay in Scarborough with Sebastian at Ballygate. We all felt the house had a welcoming and family-friendly energy. It felt like the house was filled with many family memories as it certainly will live in our memories forever. The place was perfectly situated with endless views of the mountains and rural areas of Scarborough, yet a quick walk to the beach. We spent every morning sipping coffee watching sunrise from the patio, walking the length of the beach, exploring the Cape and then catching sunset back at Scarborough. Sebastian was always immediate with everything we asked. He was friendly and helpful and his instructions couldn't be more clear. The house has everything you need and it was cozy and comfortable for everybody.I have nothing horrible to say about Ballygate. we will most definitely make the 30 hour flight again just to stay here with Sebastian.

Mussel Inn
Very nice stay, thanks a lot !

2 sea-facing cottages with never-ending views
Very highly recommended and 5 stars all around. Don’t miss out on a stay at June & Alan’s cottage. The location and view from this cozy accommodation is utterly spectacular at all times of day and night. It seems as though you are looking at a painting and you stand amazed that it is reality. June & Alan are both very attentive and thoughtful hosts. We are very grateful they have decided to share their little piece of paradise with others…

SAGE cottage | Bloubergstrand | Cape Town
We absolutely loved our stay! Every second of it was incredible. The place felt so homey and cozy—it instantly made us feel comfortable and relaxed. The outdoor area was especially beautiful and added such a peaceful vibe to the whole experience. You can tell a lot of care has gone into making this space special. Highly recommend and would definitely come back!

Ballygale 547 - Family Beach Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay at Sebastian’s seaside cottage! Falling asleep to the sound of the waves, waking up to mountain views, and being just a short walk from Scarborough’s restaurants and town centre made for a truly special experience. The house had everything we could have asked for—braai facilities, inviting outdoor seating areas, and a wonderfully equipped kitchen (coffee plungers included, which is a rare Airbnb bonus!). Even my partner, who’s usually indifferent to interiors, was charmed by the farmhouse-style kitchen. It was the perfect peaceful and restorative escape—close enough to Cape Town for an easy trip, yet it felt a world away. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to others.

Elegant cosy Cottage in Secure Estate.

The Lookout at Froggy Farm
The hosts were so friendly and helpful - they allowed us to drop bags ahead of time. The place had wonderful amenities - an air fryer, fresh coffee. Our kids absolutely loved the farm style atmosphere of the accommodation, with a small river running through the property and frogs to find. The view is stunning and we had a wonderful time.

Heart of Kloof Street Living - the Secret Spot
10/10 spot in gardens! Super cozy and has everything you would need. Private and tucked away in the back, fast WiFi, comfy bed, good kitchen and 3 lovely dogs on the property 🥹 super close to Resturant’s and main action, but tucked away where it feels private Molly is so kind and welcoming, she made the stay effortless and I can’t wait to come back . Don’t miss this gem!

Off grid cottage
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage a lot. It's a lovely cottage with a nice outside area. The cottage is well equipped and very stylish. In the outside area you find 2 sunbeds and we enjoyed a little swim in the pool. Nikki and her husband are very friendly and helpful. The cottage is located in a quiet and safe area and Noordhoek is actually perfect to explore the areas of Cape Town. Noordhoek has a beautiful long white sandy beach, the sunsets are amazing. There are 2 double rooms with their own bathroom. We would love to come back the next time.

1 Bedroom House with garden
I use Airbnb A LOT. I book 3 or 4 places a month & I must say, this is definitely top 5 for me! We felt right at home from the moment we checked in! Jay was a ray of sunshine. Her lovely energy makes you feel like you are meeting an old friend. She took the time to read my profile & seeing that I love plants, she gave me permission to play in her garden the whole week. This was the highlight of my stay. These 2 wholesome beings are such a lovely couple that goes above & beyond to make their guests feel welcome & taken care of! Their caretaker Mr Darlington was friendly, helpful & there whenever l needed his assistance! This home is very comfortable, safe, clean & had everything we needed. It looks even better than the pictures! The outdoor garden is so cosy. You can braai or just chill & enjoy a quiet evening! check out was ofcoz sad, l wish l could’ve stayed longer. Our whole stay was exactly what my little family needed. Would definitely recommend & we plan on staying here again!

3 bedroom Cottage - with mountain views
We stayed in this lovely house for 2 weeks. Nice and cozy, but spacious enough for our family with 2 small children. Location is good and cleaning is done 3x per week (included in the price). We would book again immediately when we come again.

Peaceful and spacious Garden Cottage in Constantia
I loved my stay at Jane and Harry's place. It's spacious and beautiful and the private patio at the back a real bonus. The bed is comfy, ample cupboard space. I appreciated the walk-in shower. And the kitchen. It's close to shops and it's a beautiful area to go for a walk in. Jane and Harry were attentive hosts and I'm looking forward to staying there again.

Vine View Cottage Constantia - beautiful views
This place is the best airbnb we have ever stayed in. So comfortable. Gorgeous hosts. Wonderful beds and quite private and secluded garden area. They’ve thought about everything. Perfect in every sense.

Thirty three Strawberry Lane Cottage
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful stay at Jenny’s. The cottage is a little slice of heaven - beautifully furnished with meticulous attention to detail. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and the view of lush greenery as the morning sunlight streamed. Jenny was the perfect host and made us feel right at home. We already miss her highly addictive weekly cinnamon buns :-) Thank you so much Jenny for being so wonderful and the best holiday, we can’t wait to be back!

Whimsical Cottage/Explore Constantia Winelands
Whimsical Cottage is small but facilities adequate for a short stay. Excellent Wi-Fi and copious hot water. The estate is exceptionally beautiful.

Bargain! Clean, cheap and charming
Wonderful hosts who were able to help me out on extremely short notice. The accommodations is beautiful and there's a bonus beautiful and friendly puppy

Two-bedroom cottage with private pool andwow view
The perfect place to stay in Fish Hoek! Linda was a fantastic host, quick to respond and very attentive. The cottage is very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Awesome views and the funicular makes going up and down from the street a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

‘Tranquillia’ Garden Cottage in Bergvliet
It was my second stay at Grant’s place and the second time was just as great as the first time. The place has everything you need, it’s peaceful and private and if I need anything Grant is just a text away. I would highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a tranquil getaway.
