Holiday rentals with a kayak in Africa

The villa is in a great location close to Turtle Bay and Konnos Beach. It is well equipped for families and my grandchildren loved the pool and the play area. Lambros, the owner was always available and keen to make our stay enjoyable.

This rental home is probably one of the most unique that we have ever experienced. Incredible natural beauty, gorgeous views, refreshing outdoor bathrooms, etc. Felt like we are in nature while having the luxuries of civilization. Truly a memorable stay. Dave and his crew are helpful and accommodating. If we ever get out to Tofo again, we would love to stay here for an even longer duration.

Stavros beach house offers a unique and authentic experience outside the tourist areas, the neighbors are friendly and helpful. The quiet house is almost on the beach, the terrace is large and well-equipped with barbecue, hammock, deckchairs. We spent a week barefoot outside, fragrant and pleasant garden. The pebble beach is very clean, quiet and very wild. Stavros has a cannon that we took advantage of. Cozy interior and full of small touches for its guests... we will surely return.

10/10. Absolutely awesome location, wonderful units with lots of additional amenities and activities included (pool, bicycles, SUP boards, veggie garden, laundry, etc.), and an incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful team. We couldn’t recommend this more, and will be back as much as possible!

Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

the house is like an art gallery so artistic & neat it is .. everything you need you will find ready for you to use .. loved it 🥰

We had a great week at Carlos’ and Cynthia’s home. The flat is very well equipped and we had everything we needed. When we arrived Cynthia brought us some eggs and we were allowed to pick herbs from the garden. The view from the terrace is incredible.

We cannot fault anything! Honestly our very best stay - Adet was incredibly accommodating as we had a child from the UK with us travelling at a different time, we had small children with us- she just helped us all the time. Definitely our best air bnb

Tugela river lodge is the perfect blend of nature and comfort. Highly recommend for anyone looking to disconnect and recharge!

What a fantastic villa, the location is superb with the villa located directly on the beach. We stayed end March / beginning April and very rarely saw anyone else on the beach. We were looking for a place to relax and unwind and this was perfect. The villa is private but had so much to keep my teen boys occupied - a massive very clean swimming pool, ping pong table, pool table, basketball court, football, dart board and kayaks. The weather was also good enough for swimming in the sea. The check in process was very easy and the villa had everything we needed. Zacharias was easily contactable if we needed anything. Thanks for a fantastic stay.

Amazing place, book more days if you can! It has an outstanding charm and the place will make you feel cozy within the minute you arrive!

A massive thank you to Nicholas & Louis for their incredible hospitality, attention to detail and they were always available irrespective of the time of day. We felt as if we have known them for years, and their friendly demeanor and attention to detail was incredible. Thank you for your generosity.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We were a bit surprised by the 10km stretch of public dirt road leading to the farm — we had expected only a few kilometers of gravel once on the property — but it was still perfectly manageable with a sedan. The thoughtful touches on arrival really made us feel welcome: a chilled G&T, the hot tub already heated, and a freshly baked loaf of bread waiting for us. The game drive the next day was a highlight. Uncle Steve shared many fascinating, history-rich spots with us, making the experience both educational and memorable. Next time (when not pregnant!), we’ll definitely take advantage of the kayaking — the lakes are absolutely beautiful — and we’d love to stay longer, as the game drive takes up most of the day. Highly recommended!

Another wonderful stay at Gartmore Guest Farm! This time, we stayed in the new cottage and were absolutely blown away by its beauty and the stunning natural surroundings. As always, our host Bronwyn was incredibly welcoming and went out of her way to accommodate our personal needs. We truly appreciate her hospitality. We’ll definitely be back as soon as we get the chance!

The Cottage at Wetlands exceeded my expectations. Everything was so perfect and was great attention to detail. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there and would definitely recommend staying there. I know I will be staying there again.

​We had a 5-day stay at this rustic cottage in nature. If you're looking for a retreat surrounded by birdsong and greenery, this is the perfect spot. It truly feels like an escape into nature. That said, a car is needed, as the nearest town is a drive away and the last approx. 2 km of road is not smooth. The access to the cottage from the road might not be suitable for everyone—there are steep, winding stairs & uneven surfaces, so it’s something to consider for guests with limited mobility. Jens & Sarah were ​very good hosts—responsive, thoughtful, and helpful throughout our stay. The Wi-Fi was excellent, making it a great option for remote workers, though the lighting indoors is ​ somewhat dim, so plan accordingly if you need a well-lit space to work. Being immersed in nature also means you may encounter insects or mosquitoes, so come prepared—but that’s part of the experience in such a beautifully natural setting. All in all, a peaceful and authentic getaway in nature.

This surpassed our expectations. It's a very tranquil and beautiful spot; the river by the collage is stunning, and the host was extremely helpful when we got trapped in the mud. Whatever you do, stay a day longer. You will regret not staying longer.

Firstly, thank you Esbie for your warm hospitality and welcoming our furry kids to your free-roaming Billiard Room facilities. Secondly, Die Boothuis was an exceptional experience - we loved the days spent. Our furry kids loved the environment, as we appreciated the tranquility. We'll be back in summer to explore the "cave". This is really a GEM to visit, relax and enjoy!!! Till next time.

Thank you so much for just an amazing weekend stay. 🥰 it was such a beautiful accommodation, the view is amazing, and just the overall atmosphere is exceptional. We will Def be back in next few months. ☀️☀️

Lovely and serene compound touching the Nile, beautiful cottage.

Perfect stay, highly recommend

Location 10/10. Felt like I was inside the Calm App - beautiful views and birds singing were so peaceful and relaxing. The patio was incredible to soak up the sun and bird watch during the day. Inside we found everything we needed in the full kitchen as well as an extensive spice rack. Bed was big and comfortable. Lighting was very cozy but could use an upgrade to brighten up the space a bit more at night. Michelle was helpful and responsive with great info and recommendations. Would stay again

Thanks to Aline for her kindness and availability. We really liked the cabin and its environment is peaceful. We loved the absolute calm. Maybe because the restaurant next door wasn't open yet. The bed is a little hard but you get used to it. The kids enjoyed sleeping upstairs, like a cabin in a cabin. A big plus is the communication with Aline. Nothing to complain about!!! Thanks

If you’re looking for peace and quiet, this would be a good option. Slightly outside Hermanus, near the lagoon. Large living room windows look out to the water, where you can watch birds and just make out the ocean waves in the distance. Kitchen was stocked so you can do some light cooking. One room had an extra sink, which is nice. We could only get youtube to work on the TV, but who needs TV on vacation? Pack a book instead. Weather was not ideal during our visit to use the kayak, but this could have been fun. Water looked shallow enough in parts to walk in.
