Farmstay holiday rentals in South Africa

We had an absolutely wonderful stay. The place is beautiful and peaceful, a perfect little get away to unwind and relax. Di and Atholl are absolutely amazing hosts, always responsive, with lots of information and recommendations about the area. The cottage has everything you need for a lovely stay in the mountains, definitely highly recommended.

Colettes place was exactly what we needed to get away from the city's hustle and bustle. It was so peaceful. There were so many toys my daughter could play with and very child friendly which I appreciate. The place was clean and very neat. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

Amazing place, book more days if you can! It has an outstanding charm and the place will make you feel cozy within the minute you arrive!

Given our reason for staying wasn't under the best of circumstances, Francy's location was ideal for our needs. It’s in a beautiful location, is peaceful, & Francy was an impeccable host. Really hope we can stay here again in the future.

We loved our stay at Hanepoot cottage. Rina provides everything you need from extra blankets to firewood to tea and coffee, milk and water. Beds were comfy and the shower great. We loved the location, such great views of the mountains. We had a little trouble with the WiFi which Rina tried her best to resolve, but I would suggest making sure you have mobile data just in case you need it. Overall a fantastic stay and highly recommend.

Beautiful setting/area. Clean and very comfortable. Close to Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

A most nourishing experience, with the unfurling vast and varied mountainous landscape, to the silky smooth nutrient rich natural pool to immerse yourself in whilst watching the sun setting, followed by the outdoor fire to delve into conversations or simply star gaze, and then delight in the colourful display and immense flavours of the organic vegetables and fruit. The cottage appears to have been formed out of, and perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings. It offers all the comforts as well as quietude felt through its practical and creative simplicity. You feel completely at ease and peaceful here, as well as childlike wonder through the experience. The outdoor seating, hammock and pool invite you to fully relax and enjoy the expansive surroundings. The birds gift a morning symphony on sunrise and it’s wonderful to look upon and explore the orchids. I was welcomed to further enjoy the studio, offering a perfect space for a yoga and meditation practice. Immense Gratitude

Had a wonderful stay! Was very peaceful and we could totally relax. Eveything was clean and we really appreciated the extra touches such as complimentary champagne! The kol-kol was the highlight!

What a special place! We had an awesome time! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. Breathtaking views! Riana was friendly and responsive to our requests. Would definitely stay again! Thank you for hosting us.

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay. Was a lovely and peaceful! Kristina was a great host & was responsive. The cottage was as described. The Beer Garden is also just a quick walk from the cottage & has some really good burgers.

This was a lovely place to stay. Very convenient location, beautifully designed little cabin for two. Well stocked, and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and with lots of warm bedding. The hosts are gracious , warm and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again and I highly recommend it.

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

Hannas place is absolutely perfect. it is a one of a kind experience. For us its the first time staying in a "container house". Its been a dream, of ours. This beautiful little house is so much more than a container. Its perfectly consructed and beautifully finished. It's the perfect romantic getaway, surrounded by equestrian lifestyle estate and perfect for country loving simple life breakaway. It was absolutely perfect. We loved staying there and highly recommend it to other couples.

Lovely chique accommodation, clean and fresh .If you go in winter take some warm clothes. There are bed warmers which were a life saver. The hot pool outside takes a while to warm but once it hot its incredible. Kitchen perfectly appointed and we were delighted we could take out two Schnauzers with.spent a day exploring...with a super drive past Outshoorn through Meiringspoort pass and on to Prins Albert. This Little hamlet is a must to visit....next time we will definitely spend a night or two there. The drive back via the Swartberg Pass was once in a lifetime, unforgettable beauty Will be back to this charming neck of the woods

My fourth stay so far. Clearly my family and I love spending time at Kathleen's place. We got to spend some time very close to the cows which my kids enjoyed thoroughly. Already planning my next girls trip there. Kathleen is just the best host & we love her tons!!!!

I rented Tiny Forest for my parents as a mothersday getaway and they absolutely loved it. They felt so relaxed and refreshed after spending time there, a must stay!

Thank you so much. We had a lovely weekend. The house was amazing. We cannot wait for our next visit

The property is out of a dream, gorgeous views, watching sunrises from the pool area while having breakfast was the highlight of our stay, one of the best homes we’ve stayed in, it’s alittle far from town but they’re still quite alot you can do around the area, Debbie our host was such an Angel, always eager to assist when we needed anything although the house gets quite chilly in the evenings but there’s a fire place and heater to keep you warm, plus heated blankets. Overall had an amazing time

Really enjoyed our stay. Great views from lovely outdoor area and comfortable house.

This was our second time staying at Ally’s cottage. Really enjoyed our time here. Perfect location to explore the surroundings.

Beautiful home and great value for money. The layout of the home is great and you have a great view from the highest point in the estate. Very peaceful and the ostrich also seems right at home. The dams are well looked after and ample space for easy casting from jetty’s and almost every side of the dams. Dams did not seem well stocked with trout, probably being difficult due to the 3km dirt leading to the estate which is unfortunately in a very very bad state. But we still had a great time working on our casting techniques and having a braai at a picnic spot overlooking some of the dams

This was a lovely, well furnished, comfortable apartment underneath (independent from) the main house. Two generous bedrooms each with ensuite, both bedrooms with views through the gardens and golf course to the mountains beyond. Annie was an excellent host. Everything we could wish for could be found in the apartment, it felt like home (actually nicer than home!). The facilities at the neighbouring resort are walkable whereas supermarkets and additional dining options require driving a few kilometres and going in & out via security checkpoint.

What a great cottage in a beautiful location - all the amenities, great fireplace for winter, private and peaceful. This is a modern, light-filled, well-furnished space giving you all you need to relax and enjoy your time away. At the same time, it's in a beautiful, peaceful location between Sedgefield (10 minutes away) and Knysna (20 mins away). Anne is a perfect host - responsive, thoughtful, also giving clear communication/directions. It's close to hiking areas and 10-15 mins from a stunning, dog-friendly beach. Great for people travelling with dogs. Thank you Anne!

I can confidently say that Mongoose Manor is the best place to stay in Franschhoek, whether it is summer or winter. We booked MM for a long weekend & had intended to spend our time hiking, but didn’t get further than a decadent lunch at Protégé, followed by a few hours in the local bookstore, after which we curled up in front of the crackling fireplace in the lounge & read. MM has become our place we escape to when feeling depleted & needing to nourish our souls. There’s nothing quite like lying in that enormous bed & watching a thunderstorm roll over the mountains in the distance, or sipping a glass of wine on the patio while observing the abundance of bird life or the hilariously mischievous squirrels outsmarting the local cat. Caro & Peer are unfailingly kind & generous, & the cottage is always stocked with yummy treats, but should you want to venture out, you are a 15mins walk from some of the top restaurants in SA & the high street. It honestly doesn’t get better than this.
