1-Min to Beach | Family Villa with Pool & Games
We had the pleasure of staying at Rochelle and her husband’s beautiful house in Melkbosstrand for a work group getaway, and it was absolutely fantastic! Although we were only there for one night, we truly wished we could have stayed longer. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful—Rochelle and her husband met us at the house, explained everything we needed to know, and even let us check in early, which we really appreciated. The house was super clean and had everything we could possibly need. The kitchen was amazingly well-equipped, and the sea views were just breathtaking. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable stay, and we couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a getaway. Thanks again, Rochelle and your husband, for making our short stay so memorable!

The Lookout
We had the most wonderful stay at The Lookout. A well equipped, beautiful space with amazing views. St James itself is also a lovely spot. We loved looking in the unique shops, having coffees, and feeling so free, we would definitely like go back. Imraan and his family were so friendly and welcoming. Just what we needed after a long stressful journey.

Villa Ondine: Cape Town Beach House
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Ondine. The house was great, clean and well kept. It has a lovely grass area and pool with a beautiful view. Leon was a great host! Would definitely go back again.

Coastal Charm Villa Kommetjie
We as a family loved staying here. Really comfortable for a big family. Great braai area sheltered from the wind with wonderful sea views. I am not a fan of residential areas butbI did enjoy Kommetjie over what is supposed to be a busy weekend. Long walks and cold swims with very little humans.

Gorgeous Clifton 5 bed villa on 4th beach
Allen’s place is lovely! Amos the caretaker took great care of us and to be directly on the beach is so special, I absolutely recommend this place

Amazing home on the beach in Klein Slangkop
Wonderful place. Beautiful house, nice interior with a perfect location directly at the beach. We will definitely come back to this place in case we are back in Cape Town.

Stunning ocean view house with indoor pool
Nice place in a very peaceful neighborhood.

Unparalleled Third Beach Clifton Paradise
What a place! In the perfect location to visit all that Cape Town has to offer whilst, at the same time, being an amazing luxury beach front hide away! 6 stars from us if it was possible.

Villa Del Mar
Second time we've booked this house, genuinely one of our faves!

Sunbird cottage
A place that's even better than the photos! It had everything we needed and more. Barry and Paulos were so hospitable and welcoming. The views were amazing. The location was excellent - so close to Simon's Town, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek. The area was quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend and we'll be back. Thanks Barry!

Lux Penthouse (Sea View Apartment) Solar Powered
Thanks Adriaan and Nico for what was an amazing weekend away . The apartment was everything we expected and more . We were lucky enough to have 3 evenings of the most incredible sunsets from the comfort of our balcony whilst the barbecue was heating up our dinner . We later went up to the pool deck and enjoyed the night sky from the jacuzzi . Perfect apartment in a perfect location .

Relaxing Hot-tub Seaview Getaway
Had an amazing stay at this place, first of all our hosts were amazing. They gave us so many recommendations of what to do nearby, all the right instructions and the place was very clean and tidy. The view was outstanding and with a hot tub on the balcony what more can you ask for! Overall just an amazing experience definitely recommend

Beach, Mountain & Pool side home - no loadshedding
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The house offers a beautiful view of Hout bay Harbour and Beach. You can easily and safely walk down the street to the beach, to the main road. We stayed as a family with a 2 year old child and had a wonderful stay. The equipment in the house was sufficient. The location is quite windy but that is Cape Town and Hout bay. Carrie was a great host and offered all the help You need. Thanks again!

6onClifton-Spacious 2 bed apt with private pool
Jane is wonderful and so was the accommodation! Unfortunately we weren’t there long enough to enjoy the swimming pool. Great location and to watch the ocean in the morning over a cup of coffee, a treat. Cannot recommend Jane and the accompanying highly enough. Thank you Jane for helping us enjoy our last couple of days in SA.

Cape Town Clifton Bungalow on beach
What an awesome few days we had at Shani’s place , truly magical to wake up on the beach, the bungalow is very comfortable and has everything you need , the jacuzzi was an extra bonus , we will be back here as soon as we can 😊

Cozy 2BR Beachfront Apt with Jacuzzi &AC Camps bay
Loved staying here. Was super close to the beach and main strip of restaurants and bars in Camp's Bay. Perfect if you want to wake up and walk to the beach. Second bedroom is a bit small, but both bathrooms are nice and big. Kitchen was bigger than expected and well equipped.

Sunset at Granula
Mark and Alisa were amazing! They went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. We broke down a few minutes away and Mark was quick to aid us by fetching my family and luggage while I waited for the tow truck. I have to give a huge shout for this act of kindness. Thank you once again. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back God willing.

Seventh Heaven Sea Point 2-Bed
Katie was a great host! Super accommodating and helpful! We had a great stay in their accommodation and would recommend them for sure. 10/10.

Sea Breeze Beach Home in Melkbosstrand, Cape Town
We had a wonderful stay!! The house was beautifully furnished, clean, and had all the needed amenities. Our host gave clear instructions and checked up on us throughout our stay. Perfect for a family gathering!! We would definitely return and recommend to anyone.

Commuters Haven (with solar)
My husband stayed for 3 nights. Rachael's place was the perfect location, close to restaurants and to where he was working. The place was just what he needed, so that he didn't have to sit in 3 hours of traffic to get to the job site and then another 3hrs to get home. Thank you, Rachael, for all the recommendations for coffee shops and restaurants. His stay was perfect in every way. From self-check in and out. No hassles with directions, and you kept good communication with both of us. Wonderful

The Lobster Pot - Simons Town Holiday Cottage
Incredible views! Thank you Sue for sharing your little piece of paradise with us :) A cosy cottage with everything you need. We had such a fun + relaxing weekend - loved the peace + quiet, and exploring along the rocky shoreline... even saw an octopus! Can't wait to stay again.

Blouberg Luxury Beach House Steps from the Beach
The place was more beautiful than in the photos. We had a great time staying here. Will definitely book again when next I’m visiting

Ballygale 547 - Family Beach Cottage
We absolutely loved our stay at Sebastian’s seaside cottage! Falling asleep to the sound of the waves, waking up to mountain views, and being just a short walk from Scarborough’s restaurants and town centre made for a truly special experience. The house had everything we could have asked for—braai facilities, inviting outdoor seating areas, and a wonderfully equipped kitchen (coffee plungers included, which is a rare Airbnb bonus!). Even my partner, who’s usually indifferent to interiors, was charmed by the farmhouse-style kitchen. It was the perfect peaceful and restorative escape—close enough to Cape Town for an easy trip, yet it felt a world away. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to others.

Bayview
We had an amazing stay at Bayview on Pringle Beach! This place is something else :) From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the breathtaking ocean view and how peaceful and cozy everything felt. It was spotless, beautifully designed, and had everything we could possibly need – and more! We started our mornings with coffee on the balcony watching the sunrise and ended the days with unforgettable sunsets and braais. The beach nearby is absolutely stunning, one of my most favorite memories from the trip. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing escape.
