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!

Pura Vida AC Beachfront & Car Rental -20%diving

NadyaRating, 5 stars10 months ago
This rental home is probably one of the most unique that we have ever experienced. Incredible natural beauty, gorgeous views, refreshing outdoor bathrooms, etc. Felt like we are in nature while having the luxuries of civilization. Truly a memorable stay. Dave and his crew are helpful and accommodating. If we ever get out to Tofo again, we would love to stay here for an even longer duration.

Garden Cottage on Cherry Lane with beach access

SallyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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!

Leisure Isle Cottage

MichaelRating, 5 stars1 month ago
What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Private path to beach, back-up solar power

JuliaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We enjoyed our stay very, very much! The view is just mesmerising and waking up to that was wonderful. The house is super well equipped. There was even dishsoap, dishwasher tablets, handsoap etc. provided. I found that exceptional. ♥️ The furniture and interior design is very modern. We loved that! And the house was clean. The house looked bigger in the pictures, but it’s just our impression. And we definitely still had everything we needed (and more). It was the right number of bedrooms as in the description and this is the most important thing for us. And there was even an entertainment room in the garage. It was awesome! Thank you 😊

I’d definitely recommend this spot to anyone visiting Langebaan, and I’d love to come back!

180• Sea Views from a Hillside Villa, Solar Power

PhilipRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The property is out of a dream, gorgeous views, watching sunrises from the pool area while having breakfast was the highlight of our stay, one of the best homes we’ve stayed in, it’s alittle far from town but they’re still quite alot you can do around the area, Debbie our host was such an Angel, always eager to assist when we needed anything although the house gets quite chilly in the evenings but there’s a fire place and heater to keep you warm, plus heated blankets. Overall had an amazing time

Chic Boutique-Hotel Feel at a Seafront Pad, Clifton

ErikaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Silver Sands Beach Villa

GregorRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Wir waren als Familie (kids 11&8) für 4 Tage in dem Haus und es war super. Die Lage am Strand ist einfach super. Rausgehen und genießen. Generell liegt Langstrand auch sehr gut, man ist super schnell in Swakop als auch in Walvis Bay. Das Haus ist sehr schön von der Einrichtung, man kann wunderbar von vielen Plätzen das Meer sehen. Der kleine Innenhof ist ebenfalls wunderbar. Durch die Schlafzimmer können hier auch 8 Personen sehr gut wohnen. Wir würden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen!

Die Vissershuisie - on the beach - beautiful view

MarcRating, 5 stars1 week ago
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,

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!

Ocean Retreat, Romansbaai Beach & Fynbos Estate

ThomasRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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.

Beach house in stunning sea front setting

BarbaraRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our weekend getaway was meant to be an off the grid break from the world. This listing gave us exactly what we needed. It was private and offered beautiful walking routes. The kitchen was fully equipped, exactly what we needed to be able to prepare our meals. The lounge fireplace is the perfect distance from the couch which allowed for cozy evening reading time. The patio overlooks the ocean, perfect for afternoon lunch and wine. Communication regarding check-in was clear. Overall, I would be keen to stay here again.
