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.

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!

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.

Cozy Beach Cottage with private garden
cute and cozy, i had a wonderful stay - wish i could’ve stay longer! very peaceful and close to the beach/tidal pool. the space is very comfortable and homey, you won’t want to leave.

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!

Sunbird Cottage - Somerset West
Ich habe mich sofort zu Hause gefühlt. Alles war top, nur ein kleiner minus Punkt für den Weg vom Auto bis zum Cottage. Da es alles grosse Kieselsteine sind, keine Chance den Koffer durch die Steine zu rollen🙈 Ich komme aber auf jeden Fall wieder ♥️ Liebe Faye, vielen lieben Dank für alles 🫶🏽

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 👍

Guest suite in Constantia. Francolin Studio
Waking up to a view of Table Mountain and Nicky’s beautiful garden - bliss! Being on the Alphen Trail (for walking and running) - double bliss! If you love being surrounded by greenery, with a hadeda or two in the garden, and the occasional glimpse of Nicky’s charming ridgeback and dachshunds, book Francolin House. As a born-and-bred southern suburbs local believe me when I say, it is the ideal base for exploring this side of the mountain. Some of the Cape’s oldest vineyards are on your doorstep with more superb walking and the most delicious restaurants and delis. Further afield there’s Tintswalo in Hout Bay (think 5 star Michelin-style tasting menu with tables metres from the Atlantic). For old-fashioned Cape Town charm you can’t beat the Fasle Bay coast. Cape bean-to bar chocolatier Honest Chocolate has an outpost in Kalk Bay. Go for the almond choc cheesecake, pocket a few handcrafted chocolate bars like the fynbos, rooibos and naartjie. Thank you for a home away from home, Nicky!

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.

4 Suzanne cottage, Constantia
My stay at the cottage in Constantia was nothing short of amazing! The cottage is beautifully furnished and practically laid out, making it a perfect home away from home. Located on a tranquil property in Constantia, the peaceful surroundings helped us unwind and enjoy our stay over the Easter holidays. The stunning swimming pool was an added bonus. Our host, Michelle, was incredibly attentive and went out of her way to accommodate all of our needs. Her hospitality truly enhanced our experience, and we felt warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived. Overall, this was an incredible experience, and I would definitely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a relaxing and delightful getaway.

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!

Gästehaus in den Winelands
Die Kommunikation war super, klar und schnell. Die Unterkunft selbst liegt schön ruhig etwas außerhalb von der Innenstadt von Stellenbosch mit einem wunderschönen Panoramablick. Wir wurden super lieb von der Haushälterin begrüßt. Die Unterkunft selbst ist super neu und wunderschön eingerichtet, alles wie auf den Fotos. Es war der perfekte Ort für uns die letzten Tage in Südafrika auszuspannen und Weingüter zu besuchen. Alles super, immer gerne wieder!

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.

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

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.

SOLAR powered! Sunbird‘s Nest in secure eco Estate
Tolle Unterkunft in einem geschützten Bereich! Richtig schön morgens mit dem Ausblick aufzuwachen und von den lieben Hunden begrüßt zu werden! Super Lage um Kapstadt und die Kaphalbinsel zu erkunden!

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
We had an absolute wonderful stay. Mark was the perfect host and the place was beautiful wit a view to die for. We will definitely visit again

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.
