Lavender Cottage Plettenberg Bay

WesselRating, 5 stars1 month ago
I normally do not rate higher than four, five is perfect and there is very little perfect in our world. I could rate our stay in Lavender Cottage, Plettenberg Bay a six. From arrival we were at home. Basie and Marie were friendly, helpful and made sure that we were comfortable and had whatever we needed. They were always available, but never overbearing. The flatlet was clean, comfortable with whatever we could expect, and more...all at a very reasonable price. Close to the Spar, about five minutes walk: close to the Robberg Beach, less than fifteen minutes walk; close to Central Beach and its restaurants, about twenty minutes walk (we are past our mid-seventies); about three minutes drive from the centre of Plettenberg Bay(Main Road) and just more than five minutes drive from a new shopping centre with, amongst others Checkers and Dischem. All this in a very quiet neighbourhood, and the flatlet in total privacy in secure area. We stayed four weeks and will be back.

Stunning cottage with Sandton skyline vista

PeteRating, 5 stars17 months ago
What can I say?! An incredible spot to spend a few peaceful days in the city. it felt like a home away from home the second we walked through the door. Our hosts were fantastic and made us and our pups feel welcome the entire time we were there. The pool was a delight, and the view over Sandton was glorious. I can't recommend Alex & Gideon, or their cottage, highly enough.

Fields Cottage: Charming 4 sleeper cottage

NicoleRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Had a wonderful stay in a very well equipped cottage. The stairs to the loft are very steep. Perhaps a handrail on the side would make it easier and safer to get up and down. The location is awesome. Very peaceful, safe and secure. Would highly recommend staying here.

Relax, Unwind, Recharge in a Stunning, Secluded, Quiet Guesthouse in Bishops Court, Cape Town

JenRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We escaped the city for Rose Cottage early on in our holiday, I was in need of the quiet serenity of the suburbs and Anthea’s home met all my needs and expectations. A slice of heaven in leafy floral Bischopscourt - just off from the Botanicsl Gardens. The perfect peaceful home to get away from the hustle and bustle, gorgeous pool area - and we LOVED Jordy the little dog coming to see us on a morning. We felt totally at home. Thank you so much Anthea.

One of the most beautiful air b n b’s we have stayed in. Highly recommend and would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

We made a last-minute booking in the morning for an afternoon arrival, and Paul was really responsive and easy to communicate with right away. He was also very friendly and clearly showed us around. The place itself is lovely, well-equipped, and in a great location. I recommend it.

This Airbnb feels like a home away from home, and whenever we visit Cape Town in the future, we would chose to stay here. Anne is a great host and was very responsive to our needs. I would not hesitate to recommend this Airbnb to anyone.

My team and I loved Olivia’s place. It was so close to our training venue. It was spacious for all of us (18 adults and a toddler). It is very peaceful, clean, safe, and beautiful. I highly recommend this place. Traveling alone or with a group, this place has a lot to offer.

Dolphin Cottage on the Beach

MandisaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
Johnny and Pat were welcoming and friendly. The view was spectacular!👌🏻 We could walk to the beach, with a beach cafe - nice Bunnychows 😊. The cottage had absolutely everything we needed. They also had a nice book, with local recommendations. We had an amazing weekend. Definitely going back, and will certainly recommend to all my family and friends!

Camps Bay chic home with great views near beach

ClaudiaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a wonderful stay here. The house itself was spacious (even more so than the photos), clean and beautifully presented. The beds were comfy and with lovely linen, there was a well equipped kitchen, we loved the outside fire pit area and we really enjoyed the views. The location was great, just a few minutes' walk from the beach and restaurants, but just far enough away to be quiet and private. We would definitely recommend this Air BnB and hope to stay again.

Modern light charming cottage in Camps Bay

LaraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
We had the most wonderful stay — truly one of the best Airbnb experiences we've had. From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The space is beautifully designed, peaceful, and absolutely spotless. It had everything we needed and more — the kitchen was a lovely bonus and we loved the outdoor seating area. The location couldn’t be better — quiet and tucked away, yet just a stone’s throw from everything we wanted to see and do. Whether we were heading out for a morning coffee, a beach walk, or an evening meal, everything was within easy reach. Our host was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful throughout — the kind of person who makes you feel like you’re staying with a friend. You can really tell how much care and love has gone into creating this space. It was a perfect escape, and we honestly didn’t want to leave. Already looking forward to our next visit. Highly, highly recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay at Carel's place - just wish it could have been longer! The views are absolutely breathtaking and it is honestly one of the best airbnb's we've stayed in. Carel was a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back for a longer stay next time!

Cottage on Cordia (2km from the beach)

DieterRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We stayed with Saira for six nights in her wonderful, clean cottage. Everything was perfect for us, from the modern furnishings, the strong WiFi, the large smart TV, aircondition in every room to the well-kept garden with a swimming pool for her guests. Saira was a perfect host, very friendly, attentive, and always available to answer any questions or problems. We would love to come back.
