Vacation rentals in Stanford

We had a fantastic stay at Sea Cottage! The location is perfect—just a short walk to the beach, making it ideal for a relaxing coastal getaway. The house was spotless on arrival, and the attention to cleanliness made us feel right at home. Ann was a great host, providing clear and friendly communication throughout our stay. The cottage is well-equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable visit, from a fully stocked kitchen to cozy living spaces. If you’re looking for a peaceful and well-maintained spot in Betty’s Bay, Sea Cottage is a great choice. We’d definitely love to return!

What a beautiful location in walking distance (one road back) from the beach and lagoon with board walks along the coast. Very spacious and had everything we needed. We had a lovely time with our family and kids.

A beautifully designed home nestled in the heart of nature within the secure Romansbaai estate in Gansbaai. Offering a sense of seclusion and tranquility, with neighboring houses set several hundred meters away, yet conveniently located just minutes from Gansbaai village, where supermarkets and restaurants are easily accessible. A short walk leads directly to the very private beach. Elegantly decorated with high-quality furnishings in a muted colour palette, with breathtaking ocean views from every room. Probably one of the few homes in South Africa that faces north for optimal sunlight while also offering a stunning ocean & coastline view with distant mountains—ensuring a captivating nighttime landscape rather than darkness. Master bedroom, situated on a corner with floor-to-ceiling windows and panoramic views. Thoughtfully designed (sheltered) indoor braai area. The host is exceptionally responsive and warmly accommodating! LOVE IT!

June’s place really is a home from home. So many wonderful little touches - the plentiful supply of towels and crockery, the lovely artwork and sculptures, and the comfy beds with loads of cushions! The location is ideal - private and peaceful yet very accessible to all amenities. June always goes the extra mile to make us feel at home. The kitchen and bathrooms are modern and spotless , the supply of beach towels in the bathroom, and the loungers and braai wood - fabulous! We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this venue to anyone - it is quite large - I believe it could accommodate around 12-15 people if needs be - but it’s very cozy when there’s just two couples. The maintenance is right up to date, the furnishings tasteful and there is so much space (ie no clutter). It feels as if June is almost still living here with all the personal touches. We can’t wait to come again next year (3rd visit) and look forward to the wonderful views over grotto Beach

Beautiful home, very private, top class - it has everything one could want. Magda provides clear explanations and is a pleasure to deal with. We really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend to anyone.

We enjoyed a wonderful stay at Catalina’s guest house during our long weekend in Stanford. The space is generous and cozy, with stunning mountain views from the top floor that really elevate the experience. Catalina and Ronnie were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and quick to respond whenever we needed them. The braai is available on request, which was a nice touch, though the kitchen facilities felt a bit basic for our needs. Overall, a lovely spot to unwind and feel at home!

A hidden gem - beautiful house that has everything you need. Amazing view, great hottub, very spacious. Leon is very welcoming and helpfull. Just be aware that you are a short drive (15/20 min) away from Hermanus and the nearest stores and the last part of the road is a bit rocky/bumpy. But definitely worth it!

Guy was proactive with communication, weather advice and activity recommendations. Check in with Jennifer was seamless. Guy’s home is lovely. The views are very special. It was most appropriate that the television set is tucked away on the opposite side of the house from the sea views (we never actually switched it in at all). Our family enjoyed the weekend and we highly recommend Guy’s home in Franskraal.

Clare was an amazing host and her home a perfect stay. Beautiful views and intimate setting to enjoy quality time with friends and family. Indoor and outdoor braais, many bedrooms and a lovely terrace area. Everything was clean and read for us on arrival. I can't recommend it enough!
