Family-friendly holiday rentals in Riebeek-Kasteel

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay. The space was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Laurette was incredibly friendly. Communication was excellent - responsible and informative, without ever feeling overbearing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay!

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.

Spacious apartment with everything we needed. Waking up, opening the curtains and watching the sun rise over the sea, whilst sipping a morning coffee was truly special. He best start to the day. A fantastic base to explore from and it was lovely to come back to and relax at the end of the day, felt very homely.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Mountain House. You will not regret booking it! Peaceful and tranquil while still being close to restaurants and shopping at Kalk Bay. Hiking literally on your doorstep and Fishhoek and Muizenburg beaches easily accessible. The views are amazing and the hot tub is something special. The kind of place you never want to leave. Carin and Miles are excellent hosts. We hope to be back soon.

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!

Such a enjoyable stay right on the beach. Iris was so friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back

Great spot - excellent location, quiet and a very well equipped kitchen. Very clear communication with the host. Recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!!!

Liebrecht was a great host, very flexible for check in and check out, and the accomodation was beautiful. I highly recommend it! Thanks Liebrecht!

Amazing stay at an amazing spot. Cheryl was great and very easy to liaise with. would definitely return and recommend to others looking to unwind in a quiet neighborhood by the sea.

Admittedly - the photos in the listing look too nice to be true, but if you are in the apartment, then everything is even better !!! This incredibly breathtaking view of Table Mountain and the bay - you don't really want to leave the apartment again. But that would also be a shame, because the close to the beach invites you to extensive walks and various restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The apartment itself is functional, smart and nicely furnished. Everything is very clean. The quality of the mattresses ensures a good night's sleep after intensive vacation days. The rental car can be safely parked on the premises. In short, I was there for four days and would have loved to spend a few days, but unfortunately the holiday was over. What a great end to the vacation! Thank you Liz !!!

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

We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful, well equipped and tastefully decorated. High quality and well appointed kitchen. Gorgeous outside area for dining, and a little plunge pool for hot days. The town is walkable and full of great restaurants and shops. Highly recommend this house for a wonderful Franshhoek holiday.

Enjoyed our stay. apartment is off a main rd so there is some traffic noise and older apartment but overall great location and close to nice places to visit

A lovely spacious house close to the beautiful village of Franshoek, walking distance ! Robyn was very quick to respond to our questions We felt like home and for me is the perfect place if ever we make a new plan for Franshoek ! Thanks Robyn

We had a very comfortable stay. The house is spacious and we particularly valued the secure off street parking which fitted our overlanding vehicle. Stewart and Denise are lovely hosts and very quick to respond to any requests.

Great spot with a lovely garden. Property also has some very friendly cats and dogs which made the stay even better:)

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.

Beautiful property, helpful staff. Perfect for a trip to the winelands!

Great location and luxurious home.

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.
