Family-friendly holiday rentals in South Africa

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!

A fantastic getaway option. The Rosemary hut is perfect for a couple weekend away - remote and romantic. Communication from the host is proactive and they make accommodations and arrangements around your arrival time - like starting the hot tub before your arrival! 10/10 would recommend. The kitchen is well-equipped, and they provide the necessities - like milk, rusks and wine.

We had an amazing time staying at Leon's place over the Easter weekend. The house is very well equipped and comfortable. Amazing views of the Hemel en Aarde valley from the pool or hot tub. We'll definitely come back.

A most nourishing experience, with the unfurling vast and varied mountainous landscape, to the silky smooth nutrient rich natural pool to immerse yourself in whilst watching the sun setting, followed by the outdoor fire to delve into conversations or simply star gaze, and then delight in the colourful display and immense flavours of the organic vegetables and fruit. The cottage appears to have been formed out of, and perfectly integrated with the natural surroundings. It offers all the comforts as well as quietude felt through its practical and creative simplicity. You feel completely at ease and peaceful here, as well as childlike wonder through the experience. The outdoor seating, hammock and pool invite you to fully relax and enjoy the expansive surroundings. The birds gift a morning symphony on sunrise and it’s wonderful to look upon and explore the orchids. I was welcomed to further enjoy the studio, offering a perfect space for a yoga and meditation practice. Immense Gratitude

Amazing stay

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 recently had the pleasure of staying at Orchard Stay, and it was an unforgettable experience. The house is exceptionally spacious and well-appointed, providing all the comforts one could desire. The hot tub combined with a pond is a gem! The self check-in process was seamless. The surrounding orchards create a serene and picturesque environment, perfect for relaxation. I highly recommend this property to anyone seeking a tranquil getaway in a beautiful setting.

We stayed at the pool house at Mitres Edge for one night as we were attending a wedding nearby. It was incredibly spacious and we had access to the huge pool and lovely outdoor entertainment area and hot tub which was a real bonus. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Gorgeous house on a quiet road in Greyton. We had a lovely weekend away with friends here and would happily recommend it to other who were seeking somewhere spacious and upmarket to get away with family or friends Xx

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

Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

Had one of the best experiences staying at the lovely cottage. Robert and George’s place is a wonder to behold and spend time in. Peaceful, soothing and charming environment to reconnect with what’s really important in life; the present moment, nature and loved ones. Cannot wait to come back, share the experience with others and enjoy more great conversations with Robert about the beautiful property, his cuddly four paw friends, his amazing fruits and mushrooms✨

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.

I really enjoyed the peace and quiet. The beautiful sunrise with horses in the yard will never be forgotten. We had an amazing time at Kliphuis and will definitely be back!

Such a wonderful, peaceful weekend. Right by the river with a lovely deck to hang out on. Spacious lawn for the young adult to play games. Very private and restful. Thank you David, we will definitely make use of Marshall Farm again.

The house and surroundings are beautiful. From the moment you enter the estate you are greeted with amazing views. House was just pure luxury and so spacious. Had every amenity possible to feel like home. From fresh linen, bath soaps to a Wok and Nespresso coffee machine. Not to mention fire wood for the cold nights. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are planning a trip to Plettenberg bay don’t hesitate to book this place.

Our stay at this beautiful home in Springerbaai Eco Estate was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful surroundings, stunning ocean views, and the sense of total privacy. The house is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday. We especially loved the large deck—it was the perfect spot for morning coffee, seeing the exceptional sunrises and watching the dolphins in the ocean below. We saw wildlife right from the house and enjoyed quiet walks on the estate’s trails and down to the untouched beach. Highly recommend!

We had the most incredible stay! The house was absolutely beautiful spacious, clean, and so well-equipped with everything we needed. The setting was nothing short of magical, with breathtaking views of the Crocodile River right from the property. Tim was a fantastic host friendly, responsive, and extremely helpful with recommending local safari providers, which made planning our days so much easier. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely love to return. Highly recommend!

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.

Francy's place was exactly what I needed for a writing retreat. It's a beautiful, peaceful space full of thoughtful details - beautiful proteas on the dining table, herbs in the kitchen, cushions for the braai seating area, books to borrow and so much more. The estate itself is beautiful and full of walking paths to get lost in. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for a quick escape from the city within an hour's drive of Cape Town. Francy was friendly and communicative. Her dog Mia was a wonderful bonus!

Was our 2nd time staying here , and once again I was just so happy, the place is beautiful, inside and outside. Peaceful in the wilderness. Lots of things to do and a great place to relax and recharge. As always Valda is such an amazing host, friendly & helpful. Such a pleasure staying there.

This is a lovely house, perfect for our big family group. The views were spectacular, standing out on the balcony watching the sunrise was quite something. The house was well situated, a bit of a walk down to the town (and a more painful walk back up the hill!) Yvette was very responsive to a couple of teething niggles, which was helpful, as were her recommendations for local spots to visit.

Our stay at the seaview holiday home was nothing short of amazing. The peacefulness and natural beauty of the area were exactly what we needed to unwind — the ocean views were absolutely breathtaking, and the calm, fresh air made every moment feel restorative. Sitting on the patio, listening to the waves, and watching the stunning sunsets quickly became our favorite part of the day. Tanya and Ross were wonderful hosts — always just a phone call away whenever we needed anything. Their kindness and quick assistance made us feel right at home. Whether it was helping us find local hidden gems or bringing extra blankets when the nights got chilly, they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The house itself was immaculate, well-equipped, and filled with thoughtful touches that made our holiday even more special. It’s a truly perfect place for anyone looking for peace, comfort, and genuine hospitality. We can’t wait to return!

Our stay of five days in the beach house was too short! It was such a great experience to stay at the beach and have the most beautiful views and walks!. The house was very well equipped and although staying at the house in early autumn we even had a day or two to chill at the pool and enjoy shrimps and steaks on the braai. At some point there was a power interruption and Clifford immediately came to action and solved the problem. I would highly recommend the house butat the same time this hidden gem should be kept a secret 😊
