Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Africa

Barry’s home was a real gem, we enjoyed our stay, the kitchen had all we needed and they were so kind to even leave spices and other things for us to use on days we cooked. There was linen for us to change beddings and we really felt at home. Barry would communicate every time when service people were coming to do their work. My children broke a kitchen window and Barry was so understanding and arranged to get it fixed when we could not manage to secure someone to fix it due to not being familiar with where to get service providers ( thank you for this Barry). The place was really what my family needed and we really felt at home. I would recommend this home for anyone needing a quiet secluded place with a river flowing in the backyard for quiet morning reflections and meditation.

We had a great time at Mia’s beautiful house. She was really kind showing us around and was always available when needed. It was awesome for our little daughter to play with all the toys of Mia’s kids. Maybe good to know: The house is not in a gated community, but we felt secure due to the nice neighborhood. We can highly recommend staying at Mia’s beautiful place.

Very nice stay in a beautiful cottage surrounded by mountains, the perfect getaway! The place is very cosy with everything you need. Thank you so much Adri for helping us with that flat tyre 😉 (better getting there before dark, not like us)

We had an excellent stay at this house. It had everything you can possibly need, was very spacious and comfortable. The house is in a quiet neighborhood with great mountain views from the balcony. It is conveniently located, close to Stellenbosch town center, many wine farms, and easy acess to coast, airport and cape town. Ann was a great host, communication was easy and we appreciated the flexibility in extending our stay when our plans changed.

Large old family home with lots of character. Everything was perfect, clean and comfortable. We were a large group of parents visiting PMB for the Maritzburg College rugby festival. The house was 10min away in a safe neighbourhood. The house is comfortable to accommodate large groups. Housekeeping was an extra bonus. We would definitely visit again.

The pictures are not doing the place any justice.Luzanne’s house felt like a home away from home,so inviting and equipped with all the necessary day to day items.

This is a lovely farm house in Nieu Bethesda. Very comfortable rooms and bed. Cool and airy space (especially because we arrived during a heat spell) and fans (which were really appreciated). As others have noted, the bathroom is small and does not have a shower only a bath which my elderly father struggled with but this is manageable for a day or two. Otherwise, the hosts and the house are lovely. The small museum / gallery on the property houses some truly beautiful and remarkable tapestries.

Beautiful views and a great spot for a family get away!

This was a great place to stay in Gaborone! The apartment was very new, modern and clean. It was also conveniently located to the airport, shops and restaurants. The unit was in a nice, safe area and it was quite comfortable. I highly recommend this place. Thanks!

Quiet-spoken, kind & courteous Badr was immediately responsive. His place is located a 5 minute walk from the beach, a 15 minute walk to the fascinating port and beautiful Medina, a 3 minute walk from bakeries, so well located. The large & well-stocked Carrefour grocery store is 5 minutes by car. Lots of street parking in front of the building & we felt very safe in the neighborhood. Badr's place is spacious, comfortable, nicely appointed and relatively quiet (until the meuzzin calls the faithful to prayer). WIFI worked, as did Netflix, but the satellite TV signal was weak, not that we minded. Water pressure in the shower was OK; note that the WC is a wet room (floor squeegee provided), & small kitchen has all you need. We enjoyed our stay, especially the additional space of Badr's place over a hotel room! Many thanks for a hospitable stay in the lovely Essaouira!

Everything was good,good location, clean apartment, good contact.

It was nice staying at Natalies place. The place is secure and is withing walking distance to the pomerade. There was provision of everything we needed. Thanks

We had a great time in Nick's apartment. Great location, super well decorated, we wish we could have stayed a little longer!

Staying in Shaun’s apartment was an amazing experience! The space has a wonderful vibe, is beautifully decorated, and truly feels like home. It’s perfectly located in the heart of Rainbow Street, yet the neighborhood remains peaceful and quiet. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to stay.

Had great time, Caroline is very good. Asked to make a little thing which she did and I am grateful for that, however was not impressed with the choice of what she bought. Besides that her place and her attitude super amazing. I love her so much ❤️

- very quick to respond and resolve any issues or answer any questions - property is well maintained with lots of amenities nearby, including a play area for children within the grounds of the building - Abdulaziz went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and provide any support needed

This villa is absolutely beautiful and incredibly cozy—perfect for a couple or a small family. The space is spotless, spacious, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. Every corner has its own unique charm, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the house. The view is nothing short of breathtaking—like something out of a dream. It’s peaceful, serene, and truly unforgettable. The surrounding area is quiet and feels very safe, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The villa is slightly tucked away, offering a sense of privacy and seclusion from others, which makes the stay even more peaceful and intimate. Service is excellent. Breakfast is served in the most adorable way, adding a lovely touch to the mornings. I couldn’t recommend this villa more—it’s a hidden gem. I would absolutely return again.

Beautiful house and view Very quiet place, where you can play tennis, paddle board, golf Mikael is very friendly, and generous. We hope to come back another year!

Just speechless. The place is beautiful, well located, and has every facility in the home you may possible need! My partner (who has little reaction to anything) said it was what he imagined paradise to be like. You can tell that so much detail went into the home - it was truly a sanctuary and we hope to stay here again. Thank you x

Fantastic stay, please note for future travel, address copied from clipboard is different to the actual address so be aware when marking into maps for navigation. Lovely villa, secure and peaceful. Large, tidy, clean space, beautiful bedrooms and communal area with great balcony. 25 -30 min drive from city centre. Best cappuccino I ever had from a place called cappuccino not far from centre. Maryam was a great responder, late at night, early in morning and has great connections / referrals. Great weekend

Our group of 8 had an incredible experience at this home located incredibly close to Johannesdal 1207 wedding venue (our reason for visiting Stellenbosch). Lieb and the staff were incredibly friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to make our stay a comfortable and memorable one. The house is beautiful and the surroundings are stunning, and this property has some fantastic views on the walking trails. I highly recommend staying here for any trip to the Stellenbosch region!

Even better than it looks in the photos - so peaceful and relaxing. Being able to open most of one wall of the living room to let in fresh air was lovely. Really enjoyed sunrises, especially from the rocking chair. Wonderful throw blankets and bedding. Feels magical to be so close to the city and yet in the countryside. Be warned that GPS has a hard time locating correctly - we had a fiasco with Uber, but our hosts warned us and helped check-in go smoothly. Really happy with them as hosts and with the villa overall.

Great location, really enjoyed my stay. Assad was friendly and accommodating. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. Highly recommend.

Very nice area. You need a car iv you want to go outside the house. Clean , big and a nice swimminv pool. House and pool cleaned well twice a week. Clear instructions and warm welcome. O time and clear appointments when leaving the house.
