Poolside Villa
I really enjoyed my stay at Kyle’s place. very clean and peaceful. I’d love to visit again in future.

Blackwood Log Cabin
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.

Directly on the Sea- Main house
We really enjoyed our stay at Nonka's house. It felt safe and we were met on site by Jesko to welcome us and show us around. The view was spectacular and was very spacious. Would highly recommend 👍

Manzini River House - Greater Kruger National Park
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!

Oceanfront Villa 4br/4ba pool wifi, solar power
A group of friends spent a long weekend at the Whale Huys which exceeded expectations. The setting on the mountainside directly above the sea is spectacular and each bedroom has a sea view. The owners have catered for every need. Even though it was winter we had very warm weather and were able to enjoy the heated pool and the hot tub. One could spend all day taking in the panoramic view over the sea and watching the whales in the bay. We received a warm welcome from Rene on arrival and felt at home right away. We hope to be back soon!

Dassieshoek - Or Skool
Amazing accommodation. We highly recommend this to anyone looking for a breakaway. Location is in the mountains, but still very accessible to Robertson town and surrounds. Hosts went above and beyond. Especially since we had a bit of a baboon incident, which they handled very well. Cleaned up, offered to replace our food, and even brought us a bottle of rosé.

Lindi Lodge. Your home, in the Greater Kruger!
The house is very beautiful, exceptionally clean, well equipped, we literally had everything we needed. The view is so amazing with lot of game to see. The host was also very helpful and assisted us with an amazing private game drive. It’s literally a home away from home. Me and my family had a great stay !

Luxury Safari Lodge in Kruger Park Nature Reserve
We loved our short stay here. The kids spent hours in the two beautiful swimming pools and the adults soent hours watching the different wild life pass through the area. Staffan and the staff team were extremely responsive and nothing was ever a problem.

Lover of the Sea - Thalassophile
This place is a dream! Your own private beach with all the modern furnishings you might need. Luxury kitchen equipment, beautiful decks and balcony, plenty of outdoor furniture and activities. We went to Paternoster for meals, but you will need to book in advance as restaurants fill quickly. An amazing getaway, we would go back in a heartbeat!

Seaview & Sunset Haven
Amazing house in a very quiet area of Noordhoek. Everything is as described and even better. Lots of attention to details like qualitative beds, linen, toiletries and a super equipped kitchen. I can only recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with the most amazing sunset views. Thank you! Anthony

Windmill Cottage, Tankwa Karoo
The hosts at Groot Kloof are warm and insightful, striking a perfect balance between attentiveness and privacy. They ensure your stay is unforgettable, whether you're hiking, cooling down in the hot tub or swimming pool, or enjoying the fireplace. Windmill Cottage is an invitation to reconnect. It's more than a stay; it's an experience that will leave you utterly captivated. Highly recommended for a soulful escape. Will definitely be back soon.

The Unbound - Escape the Ordinary
Wonderful soul-renewal stay. Well designed home with perfect views from every angle. We enjoyed morning sunrise from the stoep and loved watching the surroundings evolve as the sun moves… most amazing colours. Switch off the lights and enjoy the stars from the hot-tub. Well equipped home and many extra surprises (thank you for the welcoming gift). Thank you Willem for the efficient and friendly communication. We’d love to be back!

Mongoose Manor, walk to wine estates and town.
I can confidently say that Mongoose Manor is the best place to stay in Franschhoek, whether it is summer or winter. We booked MM for a long weekend & had intended to spend our time hiking, but didn’t get further than a decadent lunch at Protégé, followed by a few hours in the local bookstore, after which we curled up in front of the crackling fireplace in the lounge & read. MM has become our place we escape to when feeling depleted & needing to nourish our souls. There’s nothing quite like lying in that enormous bed & watching a thunderstorm roll over the mountains in the distance, or sipping a glass of wine on the patio while observing the abundance of bird life or the hilariously mischievous squirrels outsmarting the local cat. Caro & Peer are unfailingly kind & generous, & the cottage is always stocked with yummy treats, but should you want to venture out, you are a 15mins walk from some of the top restaurants in SA & the high street. It honestly doesn’t get better than this.

Misty Cliffs Work and Surf
This was our second stay at Henning’s place and we just cannot get enough. It’s such an amazing serene getaway in the most stunning location and beautiful home. We had a wonderful bday weekend playing games, cooking food and the fireplace was a great accompaniment with the cold weather. The home has such an incredible view of the ocean and can be seen from almost anywhere. Truly a special stay one of a kind stay. Hazel is always so friendly and hospitable. Thank you Henning and Hazel, we will surely be back.

Kawakawas Cottage - Off the Beaten Track
A wonderful break away. Matt and Darren's house is beautifully put together with everything you need for a more than comfortable off the grid experience. The house and its surroundings is a feast for the eyes. Together with great hiking routes and waterpools to explore, it really is a little piece of heaven.

Tulani House - Mountainside Home with Hot Tub
Johan’s place is exactly what is in the pictures and more. It is tastefully decorated and curated to travel needs. We had a lovely time, everything went smoothly from check in to check out. I have stayed in Hermanus on several occasions at different places but Johan’s place has been the best! I highly recommend, its 5 stars!

Tranquil waterside retreat
We had a fantastic two-night stay at Simon’s place. The house was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Simon was always responsive, available, and very helpful, which made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Sunny 3 Bedroom House with Mountain Views
Just an awesome location and super easy logistics. Spacious, modern and highly recommendable! Would definitely come back again!

Seaside Sanctuary
Loved every moment in this beautiful home. Stunning surroundings and just what our family needed to recharge and touch base with each other. Life is hectic for us but the moment we arrived it felt like home. Highly recommend this listing. Thank you Sarah xxx

Kloof House, Betty's Bay
I am writing this review while we are still at the property. We have stayed in many AirBnB's, but never have we encountered a place as fascinating as Kloof House. Nestled into the trees, at the bottom of the mountains, is this haven of peace. Due to the way it is built we feel one with nature. The interior is thoughtfully dominated by wood and endless floor to ceiling glass, it is warm and intriguing. We constantly stop to gaze at the forest. It almost feels a bit like being part of Jurassic Park, just without the dinosaurs. Inside it is pure luxury, no expenses have been spared, top notch appliances and so generously stocked, incredibly beautiful and stylish furniture, insanely comfortable beds. The nature pool, large hot tub and braai area are a real treat. All of this coupled with the friendliness and immediate responsiveness of the hosts makes this getaway one we will never forget. Thank you so much Keri and Louise!!

Crane Haven
The place is so ethereal, peaceful and nothing short of amazing. Ruben was always reachable in case we needed anything (he’s an incredible host). The home is incredible for a couple of friends or even family. If you love taking pictures, you’ll be in heaven. Definitely recommend. ♥️

Ocean Song | Seafront Escape with Epic Views!
Uta’s house is spacious, bright, and beautifully located with stunning views all around. There’s plenty of room to relax, work, or spend time together. The kitchen is exceptionally well-equipped — it has everything you need and more for cooking, including all the necessary appliances and utensils. We truly loved our stay and would highly, highly recommend this place to anyone. Would definitely come back!

„Out of Africa“bordering Nature Reserve with view!
We were absolutely enchanted. Vanessa has a great decor taste. A lot of attention to detail. In addition, we were very warmly welcomed. The house is equipped with everything you need. We had a very nice week in Vanessa's beautiful house.

Birdsong Marloth Park
A pefect retreat in a magic place!
