Wilderness deckhouse. views!/sun/sea/river/kayaks

SamRating, 5 stars2 months ago
Amazing place with incredible views & good facilities. We loved using the pizza oven and brai, also the kayaks, and Phiri kindly let us use the washing machine too. The kitchen has so much storage space and two big fridges (although missing a few simple useful things like a colander). Great place, with lots of space for 6 people. Loved it.

Vaal De Grace Golf Estate, the SHACK

KgomotsoRating, 5 stars4 months ago
My family and I enjoyed our stay - this felt like home away from home. The pictures didn’t do it any justice, the place is more beautiful in person. A safe haven indeed, from the busyness of the city. Everything looked amazing and perfectly located. The host was easily accessible and proactive, not to mention friendly and helpful.

Black Eagle Lake House

YasaarRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Black Eagle Lake house was an absolutely amazing experience. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and the amenities provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house was spotless, cozy, and perfectly maintained. From the moment we arrived, Ashton gave us a warm and heartfelt welcome — his service throughout our stay was truly exceptional and made the experience even more memorable. The view from the property was breathtaking, and the location itself was spectacular — peaceful, scenic, and a perfect escape from the everyday. We highly recommend Black Eagle Lake House to anyone looking for a beautiful and relaxing getaway. We would love to return and stay there again!

Gantry House

DavidRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This was an amazing spot. Beautiful setting, close to the action and great restaurants on Thesen Island, but also far enough for a peaceful retreat. My wife and our two young daughters (4 and 6 yr old) loved the comfy and well stocked place. Lots of walks on the Island and plenty to do around the area (animal farms, vineyards, nature walks, etc). We would definitely recommend this spot and we’ll be back to Liddi’s place in the future. Wow!!

JussiRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Brilliant value for money! Beautiful apartment with a central location and everything you need for a short or a longer stay. Carla's communication was excellent, and self-checkin was easy with clear instructions. We only stayed one night which was a shame becauce Carla's place would be the perfect base from which to explore Knysna and surroundings. Will definitely stay here again on my next visit

Apartment on the Waterfront

ElenaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I had the most wonderful stay at this apartment in Cape Town, located right on the canals at the V&A Waterfront. The location is unbeatable, just a short walk to the vibrant V&A Waterfront and the Two Oceans Aquarium. The Marina Residential complex is stunning, clean, and incredibly safe – I felt at ease even with my two young children. The apartment itself was perfect, spacious, and beautifully decorated with gorgeous artwork that made it feel like home. We also had access to the homeowner's pool, gym, and cafe, which added an extra level of comfort to our stay. Overall, a fantastic experience, and I would definitely return and highly recommend it to others!

KathrynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a wonderful long weekend at Sunbird Cottage which is very homely in a stunning setting. The farm offered us plenty of opportunity to explore the Wakkerstroom area, and we even enjoyed two walks on the farm itself. The farm fresh milk, eggs and jam were a treat and absolute spoil!

Lovely cottage with beautiful views and surroundings. Great little fireplace to keep warm on those cold nights. They also supply you with plenty wood, which is really helpful. It is an excellent place to go rest and unwind from the busy city life.
