Family-friendly holiday rentals in Gardens

We loved staying here. The weather was a hot mess over our stay and the plunge pool was a dream (it's shaded all day) and there is great AC in the bedroom. The photos don't do the balcony justice – a neat little place to eat dinner each night. The apartment is a laughably short walk from supermarkets, Vida and Prashad's (vegetarian Indian food 10/10), super safe, well-supplied kitchen. Alleyne was very welcoming and kind enough to provide us with milk, bread and fruit on arrival – a nice touch when you're staying for a few days. In a few words: homey and a bit like staying with family (in a good way).

We had a wonderful stay and Dale was a great host. The location is incredible and very walkable to beaches, restaurants and shops.

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!

The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. Super safe and in a great location. Highly recommend.

We were fortunate to have booked Glen Villa, as it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Mary-Louise greeted us with a warm smile, took us on a tour of the villa, and provided us with detailed information about everything it had to offer. The view was breathtaking and simply amazing, as advertised. The villa was spacious and ample, and it was cleaned every day. We were also offered a convenient laundry service on-demand. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Mary-Louise for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to Glen Villa in the future.

We had an amazing time at Jochen's House in Cape Town! This was our second visit, and once again, everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the stunning rooftop view and the relaxing jacuzzi. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay!

Clean, comfortable and in a good area. Would recommend.

Great host, great location and accommodation would definitely go back again

This house is in a great location and has a really central city feel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has all essentials available and there is a lovely cafe across the road which does good breakfasts as well as other restaurants a few minutes walk away. It is well located in central Cape Town making all tourist attractions easily accessible. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were very grateful for this as we locked ourselves out and within twenty minutes someone was able to open the house up and let us in again! Can really recommend the house to anyone who wants to get a feel for more central Cape Town.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay – highly recommended! Yvette’s place in Cape Town was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel incredibly welcome. She’s a warm, thoughtful, and attentive host who went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed – plus she gave us fantastic local tips that made our trip even more special. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning views – enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the scenery was the perfect start to each day. The location is ideal: safe, quiet, and within easy reach of Cape Town’s top attractions, beaches and restaurants. Whether you’re exploring the city or just relaxing, Yvette’s place is the perfect base. We felt completely at home and truly cared for. This stay exceeded all expectations – we can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Yvette, for such a memorable experience!!!

We had a wonderful stay at Philip's place. The house is very spacious and the location is great. It was easy to communicate with Philip and he was very flexible. We stayed for a bit over a week at the beginning of our South Africa trip, and booked again for our last night as we liked the place so much.

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

We have just had a month's stay here and could not have been happier with everything - host, accommodation and location. The accommodation was spacious and extremely comfortable and we really felt at home. Spencer is an amazing host - he is on things straight away and is super friendly. The location was excellent - close to Constantia Village with shops and supermarkets and a short walk/drive to the wine farm Uitsig with its many restaurants which have lovely views and a really pretty rose garden. There is also a river walk a short way down the road from Spencer's house ( right turn past the horses) that is very pretty. We loved our long stay here and can highly recommend it to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Ticks all the boxes

amazing place that allows easy access to most tourist spots in Cape Town whether city, camps bay, muizenberg, Simonstown and boulders. place is beautiful and has such a nice feeling for two families to spread out. Debbie was super responsive, checking in and out was more than accommodating for our needs. Highly recommend to all. Fantastic stay

We loved staying at Adri and Deon's place and left feeling refreshed and rested. The cottage is private, clean, well-equipped and you can access beautiful mountain trails from your front door. Thanks to the location and silence we slept better than we did in years. Lovely as all the amenities and the location is, the best thing about the place are the hosts. Deon and Adri are incredibly gracious, providing freshly ground coffee, muesli, home-baked bread and altogether good vibes. It felt like visiting really cool family who leave you alone to rest and enjoy the peace and quiet. We will most definitely be back.

Colettes place was exactly what we needed to get away from the city's hustle and bustle. It was so peaceful. There were so many toys my daughter could play with and very child friendly which I appreciate. The place was clean and very neat. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

We had a wonderful week at Saul’s cottage in Sea Point. So much thought has been put into all the little like a nutri bullet, coffee machine and air fryer in the kitchen and deck chairs, beach towels, cooler box, games, beach umbrella for the beach, to name a few! The cottage is in easy walking distance to amazing restaurants and grocery stores and also very easy to get to surrounding places of interest like the V and A and Camps Bay. We didn’t have a chance to meet Saul but Bella and Tigger checked in on us regularly and we enjoyed our cuddle sessions with them!

Such a lovely place to stay - you don’t need anything more. Fantastic host as well. Will definitely recommend.

Michelle is a superb host. I felt very lucky to have stayed at the Cottage. Michelle’s clear and easy communications took the stress out of a rushed trip. It’s lovely to have such a welcome and introduction to all the cottage’s facilities( and there are many) The place is immaculate and so very comfortable, one lacks nothing that one would have either at home or travelling. But it’s how gorgeous it all is, that has me struggling to describe it. The garden is fabulous, from the avocado pear tree at the door, to the indigenous plants, from the huge mature trees, to the view from the garden over the mountains and the edge of the ocean. Home made fudge, iced lemon made from lemons from the tree waited for me. Silence at night, no sound at all except the owl at times. I had perfect peace whilst knowing Michelle was at hand if I needed anything. I can’t wait to return and can see that planning future trips will definitely centre round whether the cottage is available.

One of the most stunning airbnb’s I have stayed in!!! The photos are gorgeous, but in person is even better. The sunsets here are unmatched, the outdoor space is larger than what we imagined, and the inside is cozy with lots of amenities! The tap water is safe to drink and the security to the place was great. The driveway is quite steep but we got our rental car up it no problem! Anthony was fantastic and always answered so fast! He was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you so much!

Breathtakingly beautiful! Absolutely 5 star in every respect. Nick was also really helpful, friendly and responsive. I highly recommend.

My favorite place, the interior design is mind blowing, absolutely love the colors. The house is so spacious with balconies and rooftop.. Had a great time there.. Love the list of local recommendations with closing time. Host has always been very friendly and helpful.. Thanks a lot 🙏🏼

We could not ask for a more cozy stay in Cape Town during Autumn. This is the second time we've stayed here, this time for a month and the morning panoramic view and sunlight filling the house each day were enough but the endlessly supplied wood for a small price kept the house cozy all through May. My daughter commented on how nice the air is and so did a few of my guests. It is just so pure up at the foot of the mountain and we enjoyed all that nature had to offer at our doorstep as the mountain and forrest trails are a few steps off the front door. Every space in the house is just perfect. Loved the fact that the "TV room" was totally separate and almost sound proofed from the rest of house. But the Main attraction for me was the kitchen. I loved cooking in there with my family and having the open space flowing into living areas. Truly inspiring for design and functionality. The housekeeper, Ephrahim was also, so helpful and had a smile on his face whenever I saw him.
