The Lookout
We had a lovely stay at Imraan's! The house and the view were so stunning and that made one almost not want to leave the house at all. We also got great recommendations and communication was also very easy. Thank you!

Beachscape Waves, Views & Wi-Fi -Nordhoek's best
This place was a wonderful getaway! Incredible views over the ocean and the most charming cabin to stay in. The check in was a little challenging in the dark, but Utas instructions and pictures helped us find our way. Would love to stay here again in the future!

Ocean Luxury at The Quays (2/4 sleeper)
Bronwyn was a brilliant host. I would highly recommend.

Garden Cottage on Cherry Lane with beach access
This is our second stay at Mark and Karen's quaint cottage. We had friends from Australia staying with us and they absolutely loved the position and the fact that we could walk straight onto the beach to witness the sardines arrive at the Pennington Skiboat Club, within easy walking distance from the cottage. Thanks to Neil, who met us on our arrival and was always helpful and available on his cell phone. We will definitely be back!

The Lobster Pot - Simons Town Holiday Cottage
Rustic beach house. Not much to the accommodation, simple and comfortable. exceptional location. Loved our stay. Feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary. Would definitely return

Myoli’s View Pet Friendly Beach House
We loved staying in Nadia’s place. It was spacious and very well located. The access to the beach was a bonus. The place had everything that one would need for a holiday. Highly recommended!

Private path to beach, back-up solar power
..ended up spending 18 wonderful days with lots of reason to be there again. Babette and Cheryl are warm and hospitable. The air is breathable and believe me the house is a perfect escape to relax, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. It’s truly a slice of heaven!

Schoon Huis Stilbaai
We had a lovely and comfortable stay. We were two families of four with young kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better location with the beach on your doorstep and we felt right at home. The house was wonderfully equipped and has everything you need to make your stay as easy as possible and wonderfully clean. We would happily go back and would recommend.

Thank you for a wonderful week. We loved everything. Christine is very kind and helpful. Not our last time here.

Oyster Beach House - the best views in Plett.
Deans place was wonderful. The views and amenities are amazing. Maria the housekeeper keeps the entire place spotless. I definitely look forward to staying again

Kalliste an exclusive retreat (Solar Power)
Will definitely visit again! This cottage is the perfect coastal escape, surrounded by breathing taking flora and landscapes. The ocean view is spectacular! We felt right at home here and out hosts were just wonderful.

Doug's Villa
We had the most wonderful family stay at Doug’s villa! The location was absolutely perfect with direct access to the beach, and the house itself was even better than we expected. Every detail had been thoughtfully considered, from the beautiful decor to the well-stocked kitchen and super comfy beds. It felt like a true home away from home. Kathy was a fantastic host - helpful, responsive, and welcoming. We made such special memories here and would absolutely love to return. Highly recommend for a relaxing beach getaway with family!

Sea Point at its best | gym, deli, bath, parking
Perfect spot in the heart of Seapoint. Walking distance to lots of cafes and restaurants and the awesome waterfront walk. The apartment was clean and well thought out. It had everything I needed. Plus as a female travelling alone I felt very safe in the space and the building. Highly recommend.

Chic Boutique-Hotel Feel at a Seafront Pad, Clifton
We loved our stay here while we were visiting Cape Town. It has an amazing view of the ocean and a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy it. The house was extremely clean and well-stocked for our stay, and Naomi was very kind and attentive. There is plenty of space for anywhere from a couple to a large family to stay. We will definitely book this Airbnb again on our next trip to Cape Town!

Backup-Powered Camps Bay Beach Condo
I’d book this again in a heart beat

Die Vissershuisie - on the beach - beautiful view
I have stayed at the house many times. The view and location is fantastic with the sound of the waves creating a relaxing environment. The house has a lovely rustic warm feel. Wi-Fi and TV are great. Beds are comfortable and linen is soft and warm. Loved the fireplace. Linda's communication is immediate and responsive and she was flexible with change of booking which was greatly appreciated. Will continue to return to the house as my favourite airbnb,

Beachfront villa near Port Elizabeth
We absolutely loved our stay at Breaking Waves! The place was spotless, and the attention to detail was truly heartwarming. The welcome packets were such a thoughtful touch, and seeing our names on the welcome board made us feel instantly special and at home. It’s clear that a lot of care and love goes into hosting here. We had a wonderful time and can’t thank you enough for your warm hospitality!

SeaPad at Romansbaai Collection -Beachfront
10/10! By far the best service and experience we have ever had. Best stay ever! This was a great experience. The staff was very polite and well-organised…..exceptional aspects like stunning views, impeccable design, and attentive service, peaceful environment everything stood out for me .

Ocean Retreat, Romansbaai Beach & Fynbos Estate
We had the most incredible stay and cannot recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we arrived, Rozanne made us feel completely at home — she’s a truly exceptional host: warm, thoughtful, and always available if we needed anything. The home itself is stunning, with stylish and beautifully curated interior décor that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The indoor fireplace was a cozy highlight, and we spent unforgettable dinners at the indoor Braai (bbq) enjoying great food. And the view — absolutely to die for. Waking up to the sight of Springboks and Zebras roaming in the distance felt like something out of a dream. Despite its elegant design, the house was surprisingly child-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for our whole family. Every detail was considered. We’re already thinking of our return — next time, to catch the whales! Thank you again, Rozanne, for everything.

Kalk Bay Hamster House
Such a great little find! Generously stocked with all the amenities you need, clean and comfortable and in a super convenient location! I would highly recommend this little gem anyone looking to stay in Kalk Bay. Thanks so much for hosting me, Micaela - I really enjoyed my stay!

Beachfront Lodge - with Floor Heating
We had a fantastic stay! The house was modern, spacious, and perfect for a large family getaway. The jacuzzi was an absolute highlight—relaxing and well-maintained. What really stood out was the exceptional availability and support of the ground managers; they were always responsive and helpful. The location right on the beach made the experience even more special. We’ll definitely visit again and highly recommend this place to anyone traveling with a big family looking for a modern beachfront escape.
