Silwood Cottage 1
Lovely and comfortable cottage. Private entrance, clean, comfortable and lovely amenities. Great location for what we needed, ie getting around in the Southern suburbs. Parking is on the street, but the area seemed safe and we had no issues.

Garden Cottage on Mountain Slopes
I had the most delightful stay! The family were all lovely, including Blue🐶. Mark gave me an excellent tour of the place. He, Cathy and Jarad have me such a warm welcome . The place was peaceful and felt just like home. I was very comfortable and slept well!! I’d been travelling for a while and this was the perfect spot to spent a week recouping and working remotely. I will definitely be back! Thank you all so much.✨

Luxury serviced cottage + heated pool Constantia
Beautiful home and a great space for a family or small group. Located just down the road from botanical gardens in a gorgeous neighborhood. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our group included a couple of small kids so we appreciated that there were plenty of at-home activities when we were not out and about in Cape Town (pool, hot tub, playground, smart TV, books). Wish we could’ve stayed longer — hope to come again!

Quiet Cape Town cottage: kitchen, wifi, solarpower
This cottage is perfect! Spacious, quiet, loaded with everything you need, easy to cook, great bed, warm shower, safe, and private. Megan is such an amazing host. She proactively provided all the information I needed and was super responsive, kind, and friendly. This location is ideal to get in and out of town easily as well as to the airport, gardens, and universities. It is an ideal retreat to write, read, and rest after adventures! Uber is easy from the cottage to anywhere as well, and it is very close to shops. The value is unbeatable, and I would never stay in a hotel again. Thank you Megan for a fantastic retreat.

Olive Branch
Lovely cottage at the top of Gordon’s Bay. All we needed for a night stay over. Well equipped with everything needed, and Sarita was really flexible in allowing us to stay a bit later after a race we did in town

CONSTANTIA COTTAGE
A haven of quiet and natural beauty. This should be a ‘best kept secret’ for selfish reasons: I want to come back.

Private Garden Cottage
It was an amazing place, with an amazing view. The only issue was the strong winds of Cape Town. But you can not let that take away from the good time we had. Angela is a great host I would definitely return.

Grapevine Cottage separate 2 bedroom at Kriluki.
We had a beautiful stay at Vincent’s Airbnb. The home is spacious and thoughtfully laid out, making it a perfect retreat—especially on rainy days, when you can curl up by the fireplace and relax. We especially loved the cozy kitchen nook, perfect for morning coffee, and the lovely outdoor area that’s ideal for unwinding. The location is fantastic—close to everything you might need, yet still peaceful and relaxing. Vincent was a wonderful host, and his home truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

Rose Cottage
The perfect environment to enjoy what the Cape has to offer. The accommodation was comfortable, calm and spacious with a touch of class! Thank you for making the journey hospitable 👍

Tokai Garden Cottage
Great and convenient spot with fabulous hosts. Wonderful garden. There is a preschool next door and the house is conveniently close to a small highway, so you can hear kids and some traffic during the day. At night it was quiet. It was a but chilly and wet to enjoy the outdoor fire pit. Would recommend.

Guest suite in Constantia. Francolin Studio
My parents stayed at Nicky’s place for two weeks and had such a wonderful experience. Nicky was incredibly sweet, helpful, and always proactive in making sure they had everything they needed. The home itself was stunning, beautifully kept, spacious and perfectly located near a lovely walking trail. We couldn’t have asked for a better host or a more comfortable stay. Highly recommend!

Cape Point Mountain Getaway - Hideaway
Perfect spot for a Retreat for One. Amazing views! It felt like I was staying in a hiking cabin (with more amenities) - secluded, surrounded by nature - but I only had to hike 50 meters to experience it 😊. Loved the outdoor shower and the compost toilet was spotless and odour-free. I'd love to go back!

Beautiful Constantia Cottage with Great Views
Second time we have used this property. Jasmina is incredibly welcoming and responsive and she made sure we had a great experience. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and well located stay with a top tier host. Will certainly return.

Kia Ora | Peaceful guest cottage with parking
Friendly hosts and you have your own space at the cottage. The location is perfect in a nice friendly neighborhood! Will definitely be back!

Guesthouse in the Winelands
The unit was truly exceptional, with top-quality finishes and beautiful design throughout. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The setting was picturesque, offering complete privacy and peaceful surroundings. We especially enjoyed the abundance of cycling routes in the area. I would highly recommend this place to future guests!

Little Oak Garden Cottages, Cottage 1
No complaints Definitely recommend this stay! My family and I needed a last minute booking & Madeleine responded very quickly and efficiently. Very communicative and accommodating host. The cottage itself is exactly as show in photos & stocked with everything you will need. Very comfortable, perfectly clean, safe and secure. My kiddos appreciated the mini picnic table and children’s dish-ware. Great for short term or longer term stay.

Luxury, spacious apartment in Fresnaye with solar
We loved this Airbnb! We felt very safe and comfortable with the location. So glad we decided on this one. It was centrally located and a nice area. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood in the mornings. We rented a car and enjoyed having that to drive to other parts of Cape Town. The apartment itself was so nice. It was cozy but not cluttered. It was so clean!! And we enjoyed the lighting and textures throughout that truly made it feel like home. We kept saying “We would totally live here”. The bed was comfortable and the shower was delightful!! Andreas was very nice-meeting us upon arrival and was always available if we needed him. We would definitely recommend this space. It was our first time to South Africa and this apartment added to our absolutely lovely time. We didn’t want to leave.

Separate Entrance Flatlet in Woodstock
It’s a beautiful and peaceful place. I enjoyed my stay at Jason’s. It’s all I needed

SOLAR powered! Sunbird‘s Nest in secure eco Estate
Superb, homely and memorable!

Constantia View Parisian Suite- no loadshedding
Lee-Anne greeted us with a big smile and was so friendly it really made us feel at home right away. Definitely recommend staying here

Casa Barbarossa - Luxury Cottage Constantia
Nolene is an absolute super host - her generosity and thoughtful touches made my stay truly special. The cottage is conveniently situated in a quiet suburb within walking distance of shops and restaurants. The cottage is perfect in every way with everything one could possibly need and the peaceful garden added such a wonderful sense of privacy and calm. I hope to visit again.

Solar Power Forest Cottage on Table Mountain
Great location, beautiful space. Had a lovely stay here and would happily stay again! One note: if it is raining, the stairs leading down to the front door can be a bit slippery so watch out there ☺️

2 Bedroom Apartment above the beach
Our stay was fantastic! The place was spotless and beautifully maintained, with stunning views that added a special touch to our visit. The host was exceptional, always quick to respond to our needs and incredibly accommodating. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and hassle-free getaway!

Luxury Garden Cottage in the Sun
This is one of two Airbnbs on the same property that we used for our stay, so we were able to accommodate all family members on this visit. This Airbnb feels like a home away from home, and whenever we visit Cape Town in the future, we would chose to stay here. Anne is a great host and was very responsive to our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this Airbnb to anyone.
