Exceptional Place with exceptional hosts. There is not one thing lacking with this stay, everthing you can think of is there. Such a spacious safe space to relax and enjoy your stay.

Cottage in Scarborough
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 32 reviewsBallygale 547 - Family Beach Retreat
We have stayed at many places in Scarborough - but Ballygale is by far our best! Uninterrupted views, long sunsets, a walk to the beach, star gazing in a lovely warm hot tub. The space is comfortable and well equipped with many thoughtful homely touches. We were even lucky enough to encounter the resident tortoise,Burrito 🐢 Sebastian was lovely to deal with, we can't wait to come back. . thanks again

Cottage in Grabouw
4.71 out of 5 average rating, 90 reviewsOrchard House - Winter Getaway @ Jackal River Farm
Loved our stay! It can be hard to find somewhere that can accommodate a group of 10, but the cottage was spacious enough for us, and had plenty of communal space to hang out! Great back yard with small pool, wood fire hot tub, and braai area with fire pit, couldn't ask for a better set up to connect with a group of friends over meals or just to hang out. A highlight for me was the fact that the kitchen had large doors that opened directly into the back yard, overlooking a large outdoor dining table, so there was a great natural flow of conversation and food! The hosts were incredibly kind and understanding, helped us when needed, and made us feel welcome. Great stay, will be back!

We’ve had a wonderful stay and Izette’s communication was very swift and kind. Thank you very much
Cottage in Darling
5 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsRondeberg Farms
An absolutely amazing escape from the city! The tranquility of the farm and the fully equipped cottage is truly unmatched. Philippa and her team were incredibly attentive, even letting us know we could check in earlier than the usual time, which was a very thoughtful touch. The cottage is beautifully appointed and has everything you could possibly need. The views from the deck are simply breathtaking! Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway, a peaceful retreat, or just a couple of days to unwind, this place is a must-visit.
Cottage in Stellenbosch
4.67 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsThe Garden Cottage 1
What a stunning airbnb. Everything is pristine, designed beautifully, and thoughtful. The garden is so relaxing to sit in and the outdoor patio by the braai is also lovely for nighttime dinners. My husband and I absolutely loved this place and plan to return in the future. It was so peaceful and lovely. The large bath tub and equipped kitchen were also highlights. It is located on the vineyards of a few wine farms and so it was great to walk to Stellenbosch Reserve for a tasting & dinner and also nice to walk along the vines. It felt very peaceful and relaxing.

Cottage in Marina Da Gama
4.77 out of 5 average rating, 106 reviewsPrivate Exquisite Cottage with Big Garden
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this delightful little cottage. It was very clean, safe, cozy and peaceful. Actually, the word "serene" keeps popping into my head when I think of our stay! The garden is so very interesting and I spent quite a bit of time simply staring at the various plants and arrays that have been set up. Having breakfast at the outdoor table was such fun and an opportunity for us to bond and plan our day. I highly recommend this cottage; it is a true gem.

This is an absolutely great spot. Incredible sunset views and walking distance to a lovely otter pool inlet in Rooiels Nature Reserve. The braai area is also best placed to shelter you from the summer SouthEasterly wind. Just keep an eye out for the baboons! Illah and Ivan were very helpful. We'll definitely make an effort to visit again.

Cottage in Stellenbosch
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 39 reviewsSunny cottage in the winelands
We had a wonderful stay at Trish‘s place. The property is even more beautiful than the pictures and the views out of every window were gorgeous. We found the cottage to be conveniently located for the Stellenbosch area with shops, wine, farms and restaurants only a short drive away. The property is securely fenced with an electric gate and an alarm and felt very safe. Trish is very friendly and always available if you need help. We would definitely love to stay in Trish‘s cottage again and highly recommend it to anyone spending time in the winelands.

Cottage in Cape Winelands
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 127 reviewsHappy Valley Guest Cottages: Lorraine
I loved staying in the cottage. I went there for peace and that is exactly what I found. I could hear the creek outside, cool off in the pool, take a relaxing bath, and just spend hours looking at nature...and when I felt like it I was close to some amazing restuarants (Hari's for African tasting menu and wine pairing and Maison for the their tasting menu as well). The hosts were very responsive and kind. Thank you!

Cottage in Constantia
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsThirty three Strawberry Lane Cottage
We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful stay at Jenny’s. The cottage is a little slice of heaven - beautifully furnished with meticulous attention to detail. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and the view of lush greenery as the morning sunlight streamed. Jenny was the perfect host and made us feel right at home. We already miss her highly addictive weekly cinnamon buns :-) Thank you so much Jenny for being so wonderful and the best holiday, we can’t wait to be back!
