Cottage holiday rentals in KwaZulu-Natal

Wow, such a clean and neat cottage. very well equipped and has everything needed for a couple to have an amazing break. Our host was helpful and responsive but also allowed us all the space and privacy we needed. we saw amazing birdlife and little dassies while relaxing in the jacuzzi. a great base to reach all the best beaches and reserves on the south coast. cant wait to go back

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

What a treat. Our family had a 5 star experience. Lovely white linen, beautiful decor, and furnishings. It has everything you may need. Beautiful gardens with amazing birds. Nguni Cottage was wonderful and private. We all immediately wanted to stay for longer. Thank you for your warm welcome and advice, Sebastian! We will be back.

We had the most incredible stay. The hot tub is an absolute hit! Star gazing at night under the beautiful Milky Way. Clear beautiful skies. Incredible views. Peaceful and absolutely breath taking. What a lovely get away. They were super helpful in organising a horse ride outside of their services. Always smiling and friendly and willing to assist.

Beautiful beautiful place - we had a lovely family holiday here.

What a gem! Perfect place for 2. Spacious, modern and very clean, with everything you need for a very comfortable self-catering stay. Stunning views of Cathedral Peak from the hottub, covered braai area, beautiful gardens, easy access to local restaurants and shops, and 10mins drive from Monks Cowl Campsite/office for some of the best hikes the Berg has to offer. Jess was a fantastic host. We would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was fantastic, Craig and his staff went far and beyond to ensure our stay was brilliant. We would definitely recommend Craigs place to family and friends Warm Regards and thank you Craig. Leslie

Great view, swimming in the river was wonderful. Very easy check in and out. Spotless accommodation. We will return for sure. Tx Dawn

Hlatini is honestly magic! We were there a few months ago and justhad to come back! The beach is literally on your doorstep, the garden is huge and full of birds, it's just heaven.

We booked Penny's place at the last minute and she was more than willing to assist us. The space is lovely, we enjoyed meals in the open plan kitchen with a view over the valley. The kitchen is well equipped for self catering. The shower was piping hot and clean which was superb on a rainy cold weekend. Full dstv bouquet allowed us to enjoy the UCI XCO races. All in all, an incredibly pleasant weekend. Thanks Penny.

Absolutely loved our stay! The place is so cute and incredibly comfortable — it had everything we needed and more. Thoughtful touches made it feel like a home away from home. Super clean, cozy, and well-stocked. The host was amazing: friendly, helpful, and easy to communicate with. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and well-equipped spot!

I had a wonderful stay. Thank you so much for making me feel right at home. Highly recommended!

Wow! What a wonderful, relaxing home to holiday in! The photos don’t do it justice, it is even more stunning in person. We loved every moment of our stay, especially the direct access to the beach. Lindiwe was so helpful too. Thank you Debbie, we can’t wait to book our next trip!

Britt is an excellent host. Her place is charming and well equipped with a lovely garden. It’s airy and spacious and our week stay was very comfortable. Thank you

Our stay was comfortable and we loved that we were just a short walk from the beach. Pieter and Velosh are extremely accommodating- with us and with our dogs. They made sure we felt right at home! Pieter’s communication was fantastic and very responsive.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay, beautiful house and garden in a very secluded area. Awesome views and a quick walk to the beach, which is very private. Loved the wrap around veranda with plenty of outdoor furniture to lounge around on. Will definitely be back!

Wendy went the extra mile to make us feel right at home. Her cottage is a gem, a cosy haven with everything in pristine order. She was most thoughtful having stocked the fridge with yogurts, fresh and long life of milks, and ice water. In the freezer ice blocks were ready for us to use. Her coffee machine was set up, coffee pods provided and ready for our arriva.l We were treated to delicious oat and yogurt biscuits. This cottage felt like a home away from home and we enjoyed the comfortable bed and large shower. Our favourite area was the well equipped patio where we could enjoy our coffee and take in the beautiful garden views. this cottage is well layed out and spacious. I loved the traditional cottage furniture that created the feeling of a warm, welcoming retreat. Although on the same property as the owners, it has its own parking area and is completely separate and private. We will definitely be retuning! Thank you Wendy.

The Berg has always been a special place for us, as a family, but now we have found our go-to holiday home which makes it that much more special. Our kids had so much fun that they didn’t want to leave. In fact, none of us wanted really to leave. Bubu was also so amazing and friendly. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday.

Wish we were staying longer so that we could have enjoyed the accommodation more. Beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Everything you could possibly want or need without being cluttered. Beds were super comfortable and linen was fresh. Close enough to quickly go to get a coffee at Terberdore or a pizza at Midlands Fable Taproom and perfectly central to get to the many attractions in the area. We would definitely love to book this accommodation again, hopefully for a longer stay.

Very responsive and hospitable host with a guest in mind. We had a relaxed and restful weekend with kids. Thank you for the treats rusks, rum, milk and eggs. Wood supply was very thoughtful on a chilly Midlands weather. Thank you Steve

Peaceful, Simple Living with Soul Barn Owl Cottage is a little slice of heaven—peaceful, beautiful, and full of heart. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Berg, it offers the kind of quiet and simplicity that’s hard to come by. Evenings by the fire are a highlight—warm, cozy, and perfect for unwinding under a sky full of stars. The nights are so still you can almost hear the silence, and mornings bring soft light, sunrise, and that endless view of the mountains. The cottage itself is simple, stylish, and thoughtfully put together—everything you need and nothing you don’t. Emma is a warm and welcoming host, and the entire place radiates calm. This is slow, soulful living at its best. We didn’t want to leave—and can’t wait to come back.

Peaceful cottage with gorgeous surroundings. We absolutely loved our stay and would love to visit again. Niki was super responsive and generous. Highly recommend!

This was an outstanding family holiday venue. There was plenty for the kids to do; rowing, walks around the farm, a visit to the dairy, jumping on the trampoline. The house interior is a collectors dream exquisitely declared with antiques yet it has a welcoming homely feel. The main bedroom has an ensuit bathroom with a fireplace...gorgeous! The indoor pizza oven was an awesomeness experience. Sli is such a gracious lady who helped with the dishes and cleaning. we lacked for nothing. Family holiday dream come true. Thank you.

It was a peaceful, comfortable stay in beautiful surroundings (rose garden). The staff and Sarah were very friendly.
