Luxury Ocean Front Retreat For Two
What a gorgeous spot. We loved our stay. Very responsive host and flexibility with check in and out. Beautiful views and a prime location. Thank you Cristina!

Thesen Island Luxury Penthouse
It is our second time staying here and we most definitely come back again. Centrally located with the most beautiful views over the lagoon. Surrounded by restaurants and shops but apartment is private and quiet at night. Kitchen is well equipped with all necessary to cook any meal. Extras like purified water and cookies. Open plan lounge and dining area. Netflix and You Tube available. Lovely bedroom with lots of cupboards. Bathroom with shower and bath. We can recommend this accommodation if you love nature and also like to be centrally located.

Always-Power DeWaterkant City Sanctuary
The views are great Apartment is spacious and great Very clean and a very safe location. The views of Bo-Kaap and Table Mountain are unmatched.

Amazing Ocean Views from Every Room! Backup Power!
Nick & Tanya’s place was just as described and so much more. Their place is beautiful, an oasis in the beautiful CPT, it has all the amenities you would need whether you want to stay in or have a day out. The views are breathtaking, it’s probably one of the highlights of the place. Nick and Tanya are probably one of the best host experiences I have had on Airbnb, they were understanding and flexible. We really had a great time, I definitely recommend this place.

"Seaside Serenity : Ocean Views, Relaxing Retreat"
The view was amazing and the porch is such an enjoyable space.

Ocean Loft self catering directly on the beach
Ocean Loft was a wonderful experience. Amazing views, great hosts and beautiful accommodation.

2br luxury Waterkant village apartment
Our stay at Philipp’s place was fantastic. From the moment we booked, we could tell Philipp was an exceptional host. His communication and care were outstanding. When we arrived, he welcomed us personally, helped with our bags, and gave us a mini tour along with much-appreciated coffee recommendations. One detail I especially loved was the beautiful handbook he’s put together with thoughtful restaurant recommendations and personal notes. It was such a lovely touch and really shows how much care he puts into creating a wonderful experience for his guests. Once we settled in, I have to say: impressed is an understatement. I can be quite particular, and this was truly an excellent stay. The apartment is tastefully decorated, with high-quality appliances and thoughtful complimentary touches throughout. I’d seen the other glowing reviews, and they’re absolutely well earned, as is the feature in Condé Nast Traveller! Thank you so much, Philipp!

Family beach cottage right on the sea
Wow. This seaside cottage is simply amazing. Its charming, homely and authentic, nothing grand, nothing fake, nothing ostentatious, but tastefully decorated (the attention to detail is perfection) and with everything one needs, ample plug points, extra comfy blankets and a fully stocked kitchen. The fireplace creates the perfect ambiance for winter days and cosy nights. The ocean view is magical. Sitting and reading while listening to the ocean on an extraordinary long builtin couch was pure bliss. We were lucky to have two beautiful sunny days despite it being May and used the fireplace area at the back for a family braai which was more affirmation this house is perfect for every season. To us with all its character and charm this is the quintessential South African beach cottage..

Glen Beach Penthouse A on Glen Beach in Camps Bay
If you’re reading this review, it means you’re considering this rental. If this beach-front property is available, don’t waste any more time and simply rent it! My wife and I have rented AirBnB properties around the world and this rental was spectacular. One of the best places, if not the best place, we’ve ever rented. Mary-Louise is a very responsive host, her place is spotless clean, large with 2 bedrooms and has a multi-million dollar view. Only steps away from the ocean, falling asleep to the ocean was so relaxing and the only thing we wish was to have been able to stay longer than just 3 nights. My work colleagues was raised in Cape Town and recommended Camps Bay over the V&A area and we were so happy we listened to him and stayed on Glen Beach. Thanks so much Mary-Louise for an amazing stay!!!!! Should we ever return to Cape Town, we will definitely be a repeat guest.

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!

Clean House 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.

the house at the beach, designer West Coast escape
A great family breakaway in a perfect location. Seeing dolphins from the house added to the spectacular views. Thank you!

Xairu: 3 bedroom seaside gem on Walker Bay
Lovely setting and the most beautifully designed house. Everything you need for a special relaxed breakaway. Clean and fresh with spectacular views! There were a few hiccups, but easily resolved with Vanessa just being a call away. Will book again.

Ons C-Huis: Gansbaai Seafront, back-up power
The C-Huis was an excellent AirBnB. For a four-bedroom, three-bathroom home, it is incredible value for money. The sea view from the open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge area is unbeatable, and we saw whales in the bay. The home is modern, well-maintained, spotlessly clean and the kitchen is so well-equipped with absolutely everything for cooking, baking, braaing, chopping, roasting, toasting, air-frying, and everything in between. The linens and towels were excellent, and the beds very comfortable. The washer, clothes dryer and dishwasher are great to have and dish wash powder was supplied. A nice touch to find the freezer with ice trays ready to turn out ice on arrival. We will be back!

Riverside home.
Always love staying here. Beautiful part of Knysna, close to the cdb but incredibly peaceful. There was a power-outage in the town but fortunately the house now has solar. The home is lovely and has everything we could possibly need. We will be back

Bliss on the Bay - Beach Road Condo Surf Spot
Brilliant beach views, spacious rooms and almost everything you need for a seaside break already in the apartment. Hosts were very accommodating and available to assist with any requests. Excellent value for money!

Lagoon View Apartment
A huge thank you to Peter and Chery! From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at home. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The highlight for me was the stunning view from the balcony — both in the morning and at sunset, it was absolutely breathtaking. The place is spotless, fully equipped, and thoughtfully maintained. Nothing was missing in the kitchen or bathroom. I truly enjoyed every moment, and if I come back, I’d love to stay here again without a doubt!

17 Marine/Garden Apt.104 /Inverter/AC/Spa-bath
great place - our second time - will definitely return!

suite with fantastic ocean and mountain view.
Loved staying at her incredible place. The sunset was stunning, everything very clean and Anja gave us some wonderful recommendations. She is a super friendly host - Definitely recommend her place.

Kalk Bay Hamster House
The most amazing, cosy but spacious airbnb. I really enjoyed my time here. The space is beautifully decorated and has all the comforts of a fully functional home. And with the Ocean to great you right as you step out the door- what more could one ask for.

Sweeping Ocean Views, Large Deluxe Condo
I couldn’t have asked for a better location, it was conveniently close to safe walking areas, shops, a beautiful park & restaurants yet was in a relatively quiet road. The apartment is beautifully appointed with absolutely everything you need, especially in the kitchen. It’s light & airy with stunning views. You feel secure & totally at ease there. Very obliging staff, in all, everything to recommend it.

Waterfront Living
A great place, would definitely visit again.

Adventure ON the Beach
The flat is super nice with a wonderful view on the bay. Located at the bottom of the bay and with a direct access to the beach, which is super convenient. The interior is super nice, cozy, and well equipped. Adrienne and Ian are super friendly and helpful. Our stay was great Definitely recommended this place.
