Paradise Beach Langebaan Flamingo Apartment

JacomienRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Paradise Beach is the pinnacle of West Coast living! Paul & Jolene were the most incredible hosts and went above and beyond in every respect. I travelled with a baby and they did everything to make our stay comfortable and baby safe providing. They not only provided a baby cot, but brought toys, a gate for the stairs and even took us to the beach with all the equipment you would need provided (umbrella, chairs, mat). We felt so welcome, at home and spoilt. Thank you very much for making our trip so memorable!

Entire Seaview Country Lodge @ Tniqua Stable Inn

AmandaRating, 5 stars25 months ago
We had the most wonderful holiday! Kids were happy, food was excellent and the setting gorgeous. We visited the beach, horse rides and lessons were given and we were spoilt with delicious breakfast buffets daily. As a mother, I felt very relaxed. The Robberg Walk was also stunning and worthwhile.

KevinRating, 5 stars2 months ago
This is a private and beautiful location with the on-site expectations fully fulfilled. The staff are friendly and efficient. The multiple entertainment areas and very significant fridge space and facilities ensured our birthday celebration weekend was a smash hit for all. We missed not having a boat to enjoy the river more fully.

Selah-on-Sea

MaryRating, 5 stars4 months ago
We had the most fantastic time at Selah-on-Sea. Tracy was a superb host and was super flexible and helpful with our requests. She also made sure to check in with us during our stay. The house is just as described and works perfectly for a bigger family on holiday. We felt right at home with its lovely and relaxed atmosphere. Well equipped kitchen, clean, spacious and a perfect location. We loved being able to walk to main beach and the main road. All beds were super comfortable and more than enough cupboard space for everyone. The playroom for the kids was a hit. Thank you for having us, and we can’t wait for future holidays as we’ll definitely be back! 😊

Coastal Bliss with Luxury Escapes. Our stay with Luxury Escapes on Durban's North Coast was unforgettable. The location offers stunning ocean views and direct beach access, perfect for creating magical family memories. The house is modern, spacious, and equipped with all amenities, making it feel like home.

His presence made our stay uniquely warm. The beach activities were a hit, from fishing and swimming to sunsets. This Airbnb provided luxury, comfort, and personalized service, making it a must-visit for anyone seeking a memorable coastal retreat. Highly recommended for its blend of luxury, hospitality, and scenic beauty.

Upmarket, one-bed apartment, walk to the beach!

NoraRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had a great stay. The hosts were super responsive and after informing them of a small issue they immediately rectified it. We really appreciated the added small touch of some tea, coffee, fruit, milk and yogurt as we arrived late and didn't have time to stop at a shop before arriving. The apartment was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed for a 2 week stay. We also appreciated the safety of the apartment complex. We definitely recommend staying here!

One-of-a-kind, around the corner from the ocean

StephenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
It's not often Air bnb accommodation exceeds my expectations, but this place certainly delivers on its luxe promises - the photos really don't do it justice! It is so beautifully designed, comfortable and thoughtfully laid out, every need felt catered for. The pool was just amazing and we made full use of it (even in the rain!) The agents were extremely helpful, even assisting with an issue (unrelated to the property) that made us feel really looked after. The area is of course glorious but we spent most of our time just hanging out in the completely private garden and enjoying the space. We are definitely returning next year!
