Family-friendly holiday rentals in Sunset Beach

We loved staying here. The weather was a hot mess over our stay and the plunge pool was a dream (it's shaded all day) and there is great AC in the bedroom. The photos don't do the balcony justice – a neat little place to eat dinner each night. The apartment is a laughably short walk from supermarkets, Vida and Prashad's (vegetarian Indian food 10/10), super safe, well-supplied kitchen. Alleyne was very welcoming and kind enough to provide us with milk, bread and fruit on arrival – a nice touch when you're staying for a few days. In a few words: homey and a bit like staying with family (in a good way).

Our children loved the swimming pool and trampoline. The location is good and is a few minutes drive from Lions Head and the cable car station of Table Mountain. The property feels very safe and secure. Cathy is very proactive with her communication and very responsive to messages. I did find having to monitor and top up electricity usage a little inconvenient whilst on holiday, but Cathy was always on hand to assist with this.

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!

We had a wonderful stay and Dale was a great host. The location is incredible and very walkable to beaches, restaurants and shops.

Beautiful home and a great space for a family or small group. Located just down the road from botanical gardens in a gorgeous neighborhood. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our group included a couple of small kids so we appreciated that there were plenty of at-home activities when we were not out and about in Cape Town (pool, hot tub, playground, smart TV, books). Wish we could’ve stayed longer — hope to come again!

The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. Super safe and in a great location. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing time at Jochen's House in Cape Town! This was our second visit, and once again, everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the stunning rooftop view and the relaxing jacuzzi. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay!

Great host, great location and accommodation would definitely go back again

This house is in a great location and has a really central city feel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has all essentials available and there is a lovely cafe across the road which does good breakfasts as well as other restaurants a few minutes walk away. It is well located in central Cape Town making all tourist attractions easily accessible. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were very grateful for this as we locked ourselves out and within twenty minutes someone was able to open the house up and let us in again! Can really recommend the house to anyone who wants to get a feel for more central Cape Town.

Yvette was a great host. Very accommodating. If we needed anything she was quickly responsive. The place was beautifully decorated and very clean and included a couple of luxurious features.

Admittedly - the photos in the listing look too nice to be true, but if you are in the apartment, then everything is even better !!! This incredibly breathtaking view of Table Mountain and the bay - you don't really want to leave the apartment again. But that would also be a shame, because the close to the beach invites you to extensive walks and various restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The apartment itself is functional, smart and nicely furnished. Everything is very clean. The quality of the mattresses ensures a good night's sleep after intensive vacation days. The rental car can be safely parked on the premises. In short, I was there for four days and would have loved to spend a few days, but unfortunately the holiday was over. What a great end to the vacation! Thank you Liz !!!

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

We have just had a month's stay here and could not have been happier with everything - host, accommodation and location. The accommodation was spacious and extremely comfortable and we really felt at home. Spencer is an amazing host - he is on things straight away and is super friendly. The location was excellent - close to Constantia Village with shops and supermarkets and a short walk/drive to the wine farm Uitsig with its many restaurants which have lovely views and a really pretty rose garden. There is also a river walk a short way down the road from Spencer's house ( right turn past the horses) that is very pretty. We loved our long stay here and can highly recommend it to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Ticks all the boxes

Mieke’s cottage truly is a home from home. The home has all amenities, modern and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. There was a lovely welcome selection of drinks in the fridge, and a lovely bottle of wine. Lozanne is a wonderful host - she is attentive and kind. The children (and the adults) absolutely loved the animals. The splash pool was a lovely treat. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were so sad to leave. We felt safe and secure at all times. When needed, Lozanne and her husband were on hand when we had a question. We hope to return to stay at the cottage when we visit in 2026. 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you for making our visit to South Africa such a special one.

amazing place that allows easy access to most tourist spots in Cape Town whether city, camps bay, muizenberg, Simonstown and boulders. place is beautiful and has such a nice feeling for two families to spread out. Debbie was super responsive, checking in and out was more than accommodating for our needs. Highly recommend to all. Fantastic stay

The condo was just like the pictures. Spacious and well stocked. The location was good, easy walk to the waterfront and felt very safe. Glad we stayed here.

Fantastic place, a stones throw from the beach, short walk to the restaurants and amazing sunset views. The accommodation is spacious, well equipped and tidied/cleaned daily. Mary Louise and Sean are fantastic hosts - very responsive and were kind enough to let us check in early.

We escaped the city for Rose Cottage early on in our holiday, I was in need of the quiet serenity of the suburbs and Anthea’s home met all my needs and expectations. A slice of heaven in leafy floral Bischopscourt - just off from the Botanicsl Gardens. The perfect peaceful home to get away from the hustle and bustle, gorgeous pool area - and we LOVED Jordy the little dog coming to see us on a morning. We felt totally at home. Thank you so much Anthea.

This is my second time booking the home it was to be for my baby's gender reveal the 8th March unfortunately God had other plans and I had to bury my child 7th March Gadija was extremely accommodating and extremely sincere she let me have my family over the Friday and the Saturday for the day and assisting with decor drops and food drop offs she's a lovely person and a great host and I'm very appreciative of her for assisting in my time of grief when it was to be one of the happiest moments of my life 🌸

We had a wonderful time! And will definitely recommend to anyone looking for a memorable time away! Kiki was an amazing host, making sure we felt right at home!

Liz’s place was spectacular in every way. Beautiful space, great location, immaculately clean, really just perfect in every way. We all remarked that we could easily live here. But even more impressive was how responsive and caring Liz was months before we arrived, from helping us with our itineraries, to making recommendations & even arranging a driver for airport transfers & day trips to wine country and the Cape of Good Hope. She was an amazing super super host! And special shout out to our driver/tour guide “Zee” from ATS who was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable. Loved our 5 day stay in Cape Town & would definitely stay here again when we come back!

Perfect stay at Vicky’s place. The appartment is way better than on the pictures, it’s very cozy and you will have everything you need for a fantastic stay. I recommend this place without hesitation :)

Alexandra was a wonderful host. Attentive, friendly and very helpful. The cottage is modern and tidy and stocked with all the utensils you would have at home (and possibly more). The garden is marvelous and our small boy loved running around and swimming in the pool. It was a fantastic stay.
