Cottage vacation rentals in Helderberg Rural

I didn't expect the living area to be so big! Jacuzzi with a view of the stars definitely 5+ Thank u!

We had such a memorable stay in Scarborough with Sebastian at Ballygate. We all felt the house had a welcoming and family-friendly energy. It felt like the house was filled with many family memories as it certainly will live in our memories forever. The place was perfectly situated with endless views of the mountains and rural areas of Scarborough, yet a quick walk to the beach. We spent every morning sipping coffee watching sunrise from the patio, walking the length of the beach, exploring the Cape and then catching sunset back at Scarborough. Sebastian was always immediate with everything we asked. He was friendly and helpful and his instructions couldn't be more clear. The house has everything you need and it was cozy and comfortable for everybody.I have nothing horrible to say about Ballygate. we will most definitely make the 30 hour flight again just to stay here with Sebastian.

Very nice stay, thanks a lot !

Perfect getaway spot in beautiful Hermanus! The location is fantastic –private, and close to town (walking distance). The firewood hot tub was such a treat, and the host was incredibly welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend!

We loved our stay a Jackal River Farm and will definitely be back with the rest of our family. Very comfortable home and outside facilities with everything your need and more. Thanks Dwayne.

This is a lovely cottage with a peaceful atmosphere and fantastic mountain views. There were a couple of snags during our stay, but the hosts were quick to respond to any needs

What a stunning airbnb. Everything is pristine, designed beautifully, and thoughtful. The garden is so relaxing to sit in and the outdoor patio by the braai is also lovely for nighttime dinners. My husband and I absolutely loved this place and plan to return in the future. It was so peaceful and lovely. The large bath tub and equipped kitchen were also highlights. It is located on the vineyards of a few wine farms and so it was great to walk to Stellenbosch Reserve for a tasting & dinner and also nice to walk along the vines. It felt very peaceful and relaxing.

What a beautiful gem!! We had an amazing stay and thoroughly enjoyed every moment.!!

The hosts were so friendly and helpful - they allowed us to drop bags ahead of time. The place had wonderful amenities - an air fryer, fresh coffee. Our kids absolutely loved the farm style atmosphere of the accommodation, with a small river running through the property and frogs to find. The view is stunning and we had a wonderful time.

10/10 spot in gardens! Super cozy and has everything you would need. Private and tucked away in the back, fast WiFi, comfy bed, good kitchen and 3 lovely dogs on the property 🥹 super close to Resturant’s and main action, but tucked away where it feels private Molly is so kind and welcoming, she made the stay effortless and I can’t wait to come back . Don’t miss this gem!

I use Airbnb A LOT. I book 3 or 4 places a month & I must say, this is definitely top 5 for me! We felt right at home from the moment we checked in! Jay was a ray of sunshine. Her lovely energy makes you feel like you are meeting an old friend. She took the time to read my profile & seeing that I love plants, she gave me permission to play in her garden the whole week. This was the highlight of my stay. These 2 wholesome beings are such a lovely couple that goes above & beyond to make their guests feel welcome & taken care of! Their caretaker Mr Darlington was friendly, helpful & there whenever l needed his assistance! This home is very comfortable, safe, clean & had everything we needed. It looks even better than the pictures! The outdoor garden is so cosy. You can braai or just chill & enjoy a quiet evening! check out was ofcoz sad, l wish l could’ve stayed longer. Our whole stay was exactly what my little family needed. Would definitely recommend & we plan on staying here again!

Lovely and peaceful with interior space even better than in the photographs. The unit had everything we needed and communication was clear an quick. Good location close to town but away from the crowds. As is clear from the pictures these unites are side-by-side, but they are still very private. (I guess you could have bad luck and a noisy neighbour.) Would definitely recommend.

We spent 3 blissful days Ilah's place. An idyllic location with stunning views of the ocean and the mountain. The house was well maintained and very well equipped. Ilah was responsive and accommodating when we needed to change dates. We do not hesitate in recommending Ilah's place, if you are looking for peace, beauty, ease and a homey feeling.

Lovely little spot on the edge of the developed area so beautiful views of the fynbos and a quick walk to the beach. Perfect for a weekend away from the city.

Its absolutely beautiful! Wish we could've stayed for a week!

We had such an awesome stay, incredible views and extremely private. Very comfortable and we felt right at home. Our puppy had the best time and so much space to run around. Jannie was an excellent host and we can't wait to go back!

11/10. Incredible stay! 10 minute drive from downtown Franschoek and easy access to all surrounding wineries. The property is gorgeous and the private salt pool is amazing, especially on hot days. Kitchen is brand new and well equipped, we enjoyed cooking there, especially grilled lamb chops with a bottle of the property’s merlot on our last night. Hope to come back for another visit soon!

We had a great time staying at Owl cottage. It was a very family friendly place to stay. The cottage had a travel cot, bath, well equipped kitchen & lots of space for kids to play which made traveling to Cape Town that much easier. Great location & lots of attractions to visit nearby. Easy access & great communication. We hope visit again soon!

Lovely little farm cottage with access to a beautiful swimming pool. Basic amenities but perfect for a couple on a budget and close to the town centre.

This place is the best airbnb we have ever stayed in. So comfortable. Gorgeous hosts. Wonderful beds and quite private and secluded garden area. They’ve thought about everything. Perfect in every sense.

We couldn’t have asked for a more wonderful stay at Jenny’s. The cottage is a little slice of heaven - beautifully furnished with meticulous attention to detail. We loved waking up to the sound of birds and the view of lush greenery as the morning sunlight streamed. Jenny was the perfect host and made us feel right at home. We already miss her highly addictive weekly cinnamon buns :-) Thank you so much Jenny for being so wonderful and the best holiday, we can’t wait to be back!

we had a lovely stay at Anne's cottage. Beautiful location. Our children loved the trampoline and the ducks. would definitely stay again.

The perfect place to stay in Fish Hoek! Linda was a fantastic host, quick to respond and very attentive. The cottage is very comfortable and we had everything we needed. Awesome views and the funicular makes going up and down from the street a breeze. We'll definitely be back!

The most beautiful and Idyllic stay. Bettina and Dieter were wonderful communicators, made us feel right at home and we would come back in a heart beat. Our whole family loved it. Thank you Bettina and Dieter! A secret oasis.
