Family-friendly holiday rentals in Strand Beach

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.

The place is cozy and very nicely located. Annekè is very friendly.

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Lovely hosts! Beautiful place to spend some peaceful movements with a busy family. Will come again in summer!

This is our second stay at Thilo & Cheryl's house in De Waterkant. We love this house! The location is amazing. It is within walking distance of everything in the ever evolving Waterkant area. We also enjoy walking to the waterfront from here which is about 15-20 minutes walk. The house is beautiful. Everything has a premium feel and it is super cosy. Lots of cushions on the sofa, comfy beds and bedding. The kitchen has everything if you enjoy cooking. Smart TV for nights in. There is an amazing view from the living area topped only by the view from the rooftop! The roof is incredible. Great loungers for sunbathing and an outdoor sofa for drinks and relaxing. The hot tub is great and it all looks out over the waterfront and the bay beyond. The location is great for driving in and out of cape town on the highway and also easy for central cape town with restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Thilo and Cheryl are very responsive and friendly making this a truly special place to stay

Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

Perfect location, walkable to the vibe of Kloof and Bree street, A short drive to all the epic beaches, so close to Table mountain hiking or cable car. Beautiful, quirkly victorian, the deck is outstanding with 360 degree views of city and mountains. Kids had a blast in the hot tub. Felt safe and secure. Hosts were responsive and gave us a tour of the house. House a little dark inside but you will want to spend all the time on the roof anyway. Found the kitchen a bit un-user friendly. Not much counter space and fridge far away. But you will want to braai/bbq outisde anyway and spoilt for choice with coffee shops just around the corner. Overall a really wonderful experience!

This place is a hidden gem, wish we stayed longer. Thank you Iris.

Beautiful home – great getaway. Clean, chilled vibe, easy check-in. Had everything we needed. Thanks for a great stay!

Amazing wooden cottage, I could see only this one in the area as most other houses around were in modern styles. Makes you feel that you are living in a cabin by the sea away from the world, though you have other houses around, the view of the bay and sea is immense. You can watch the sunrise from there and one morning we saw dolphins! The place is spacious and well equipped, the terrace is amazing to spend hours on watching the ocean. We were there between seasons so it wasn’t cold nor hot, it was perfect!

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

We really enjoyed staying in this house. There were a few challenges during our stay, but the host was very communicative and made sure we had everything we needed. Welcome wine was a nice touch!

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.

Absolutely beautiful home in a gorgeous safe estate. Exceptional walks with breathtaking views. We felt like we’d had a month’s holiday in only a few days.

Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

Tanya was thee absolute best ,a perfect host ,very helpful aswell as her helper ,the place was easy to find and I must say the pictures don’t do it any justice it’s a beautiful place clean and the kitchen has everything we needed for our stay ,the pool kept the kids busy as it was so hot ,she even gave us an extra day 🌸I must say she was one of the kindest individuals that have ever hosted me ,I appreciate all she did for myself and my family ..

Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

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!

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.

We had an awesome time at Daniel’s place. The house is spacious and well apportioned and the location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and all the shops / restaurants in Sea Point. House is very well kitted out especially for kids with loads of toys and books to keep the little ones entertained. Ireen was also a god send - she kept the house spotless and also looked after our little one! We’ll definitely be back!

Superb place with a genuine ‘home’ feel to it. Lots of communal space inside and out and a gorgeous garden to enjoy. Tracy is a super host - responsive and shared loads of advice what to do locally. Hout Bay is a 10 min drive.

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.

Great spot. Big enough for a family/ group. Comfortable clean space and beds. Great location close to the beach, walking/ running routes, and restaurants.
