Cottage in Victoria Bay
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsVictoria Bay Holiday Cottage
We had a great time! Our highlights were definitely the sea view, the hot tub and the super safe neighbourhood. It worked out really well with our little kids (5 and 3 years old). We throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you for having us!

Just wow! This place is just something else. Luxurious bedrooms with a balcony where you can see a beautiful view of the ocean, spacious living room, well-equipped kitchen. You can see and hear the birds around you. There was everything we needed and more. Marianna was so helpful, kind and made everything clear. It’s a short walk to the supermarket and the beach. Definitely staying here when I come back to Wilderness!

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.

Overall a super place to stay in a beautiful home. Linda was a superb host who took the time to communicate everything and in a timely manner too! The house is in a stunning location with great amenities and plenty of spaces to sit and relax and admire the views. The weather during our stay was a little unpredictable but the house came into its own as it’s so large everyone can spread out and escape each other if they need too! Thank you Linda!

We were made to feel so special with a personalized welcome board at the entrance to the island, a water bowl waiting for our dog after a hot car drive, and a really helpful info pack that kept us busy with things to do & see. The house is gorgeous and has everything you could ever need, and Maria & Martin are so lovely. The island is such a special place and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend!!

Cabin in Wilderness
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 137 reviewsUnique cottage in forested setting
The forest chalet was a small slice of heaven set in the lush forests of Wilderness. Secluded with limited signal forcing us to relax and reconnect with nature while disconnecting from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From the comfortable bed to the sounds of the surrounding forest to the morning welcome we got by the wildlife, each day was a comfortable and unforgettable experience. Anton was a fantastic host and was always happy to assist whether it came to directions, extra amenities and from what we read in the past guest notebooks (fantastic idea!) always happy to provide any forgotten spices and necessities. Would definitely visit again and would recommend to anyone needing time away from day to day life.

Guesthouse in Knysna
4.89 out of 5 average rating, 84 reviewsAllan Grove (self catering accommodation)
We had a lovely 3 nights at Allan Grove. We got in later than expected, and in the pouring rain, and Brian gave us a warm welcome and made us feel right at home. The garden is so beautiful and the photos dont do the place justice. The decor is lovely and the couch so comfortable to snuggle down into. It was the comfort and privacy that me and my family needed after weeks of camping at busy campsites. He recommended a great grocery store and we were able to cook up a feast. Thanks Brian, we’ll be back!
