Wow! Where to begin to describe this wonderful place: hanging on the side of the converted pool-dam and staring over the endless green pastures, complete with herds of cows; cycling down the hill to Sedgefield’s market or lighting the fire for a braai. Or shall one start at the luxurious and ample space, filled with comfortable and elegant decor, the bathrooms with sliding windows that one can continue staring at the views? Or the riveting River Trail that takes you down to dark, cool rock pools? Perhaps one should start at the fully equipped open kitchen inspiring healthy, laid back salads in beautiful bowls…. And then there are the quiet evenings and nights of blissfull sleep. Impossible to describe everything. Suffice to say we have been engulfed with gratitude of having found this incredible place.

Cottage in South Cape DC
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsElephant Rest Cottage- 200m from the forest
Great cottage in a great location. We visited in winter and the wood burning oven warms up the entire house. Great bedrooms, comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to be self sufficient. The deck looks out over a fantastic magic garden. The garden has all sorts of hidden corners that must be explored. We picked our dinner veggies, grape fruits, oranges and lemons - there is loads more. If we could give this place 6 out of 5 we would have. Loved it

What a magical place! Linda is the most accommodating and tentative host we’ve ever had!! It is the perfect place for a family and truly an amazing spot for complete R&R. From the walks around the farm, swimming in the rockpools, the jungle gym, feeding the calves and the recommendation to see the 800+year old tree! What an amazing experience! Wish we had stayed much longer than 2 nights! We will definitely be back for a longer visit!

Magnificent view and very peaceful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Fairhill Cottage. We got a good rest in the comfortable beds and with the stunning view. We could easily enjoy all the surrounding beaches and activities. We happily recommend this place to anyone!!!!

Cottage in Plettenberg Bay
4.75 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviewsGreen Hills Forest Lodge - Unit 5 - The Cottage
We loved staying at Sue’s place! Was a beautiful secluded spot that made us feel like we weren’t in the hustle and bustle of season but still not a very far drive from beach, hikes, restaurants, etc. My senior dog was able to stay and had a little fenced garden for when we had to leave her at the bnb which she loved! Great spot for a family or a few friends :) Sue was also very responsive and gave clear instructions so everything went smoothly! We will definitely want to make this a regular spot we stay ✨ highly recommended x

We enjoyed our stay so much! It was so peaceful and so manageable with two little kids. We woke up to the orioles singing and enjoyed looking for the tortoises every day in the garden. We look forward to staying again!

Cottage in Plettenberg Bay
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsQuiet Cottage in the Harkerville Forest
Beautiful, picturess farm stay with Nadja's very welcoming and warm family. We brought our boisterous bulldog and Corgi along for the stay, and they integrated very well into her pack on the farm. Her dogs are calm and sociable, and we enjoyed watching them play for hours on end. We were very happy that the farm was in close proximity to central Plett. We highly recommend a stay at Nadja's cottage!

We really enjoyed staying in this tranquil spot. Corné was extremely kind and helpful during our stay, and her smart and spacious cottage has a fantastic stoep (not to mention a highly memorable outdoor gym). I definitely recommend staying here if you're near Plettenberg Bay but would rather have some peace in nature.

Cottage in Knysna
4.6 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsTidswell cottage Spacious 2-bedroom house
The Tidswell cottage is perfectly positioned to make the most of Knysna and Leisure Island. The home has generous internal space and two great sized bedrooms and is surrounded by a beautifully kept garden. We are a family of two adults and two (very) young children and we found it to be perfect for us and our time on Leisure Island.
