House rentals with a pool

Cheerful 4 bedroom home with pool.
What a wonderful place Hanno & Nico have! The house has all comforts and sparkling clean! The pool is beautiful with lovely water. Furthermore, the hosts are incredibly friendly, respond quickly to messages and have all kinds of fun tips for restaurants and the surrounding area! Highly recommended!

My Airbnb home
Our second visit to Micasa, and once again, we were happy with our stay. The house is in a prime location, making it easy to explore local attractions or enjoy nearby restaurants, everything was just a short walk or drive away. Our host was fantastic, just as before. They were incredibly responsive to any questions we had and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The house itself was in perfect condition—clean, well-maintained, and equipped with all the amenities required. Happy to return again.

Large 2 bedroom house with private pool & garden
Can’t speak highly enough of our 4-night stay. Exceptional property, fully equipped with everything you’d need, wonderfully big outdoor garden with pool and loungers. 5 min walk to wine tram, 2 min walk to Franschhoek main road, yet extremely peaceful neighbourhood/st the house is located on, could hardly have picked a better location. Upstairs bedroom above kitchen/living area could certainly do with a fan, the only constructive feedback we have. The property manager/cleaners were extremely helpful throughout our stay and helped with flexible check-in/out which was greatly appreciated. Massive thanks for making our time in Franschhoek so special!

31 on Waller (Solar back up)
I had such a great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and exactly as described. The location was super convenient, and the neighborhood felt safe and quiet. The host Edwin was really responsive and helpful with any questions I had. I would definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

Heron House - self-catering with pool
Great house for a family get together. Large patio with outdoor bbq/braai. Lovely pool. Lots of space to spread out.

Bellamy on Vaal / river view house
Tracy very lovely lady, very helpful. place is lovely, would definitely return

Private Pool. Near the beach.
We had a fantastic stay at this lovely home! The place was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing visit. The location was perfect, with easy access to all attractions/shops/restaurants and beach. Louwrens was responsive, welcoming and made us feel right at home. Check-in was a breeze. We loved coming back and will come back again!

Lovely house one road up from the beach
We had a wonderful stay at Nikkis place. the home was perfect. Everything you need. A relaxed beach feel with the furniture, colour scheme and decor. stunning bathrooms and beautiful bed linen. The pool was a super extra and nice and close to the entertainment area. Braai facilities are great, the games room with the pool table, table tennis and dart board made for endless entertainment and lots of laughs throughout the stay. 30 seconds walk to the beach from house. and the bonus of having the dogs with us with the whole family. huge grass garden for playing and parking space. a Wholesome all round Wonderful Experience.

"THE" Ridge House, beautiful, family holiday home.
Engela's haven exceeded all our expectations! This serene escape was the perfect antidote to the chaos of everyday life. The spacious house was immaculately maintained, and our room was a tranquil retreat with the added luxuries of air conditioning and an en-suite bathroom boasting both a tub and shower. The nearby beach was a stunning bonus – pristine and peaceful, without the crowds. We cherished every moment spent soaking up the sun and serenity. Overall, Engela's haven is a true gem, and we cannot wait to return! Thank you, Engela, for sharing your little slice of paradise with us.

Modern, near river, sea, shops petfriendly, Wi-Fi
The place was very accessible to the sea, restaurants and shops but above all accessible to the sea which we enjoyed. The best part was hiking.... climbing mountains, caves and enjoying with my family was a Woooow!! Thank u

Glen Beach Bungalow Main House
Our stay at Mary-Louise’s villa was incredible! The location on Glen Beach is unbeatable, with breathtaking ocean views and the soothing sound of waves. The villa was spotless, stylish, and had everything we needed for a perfect getaway. Mary-Louise was a fantastic host—helpful and welcoming. Can’t wait to return!

The 14th at LCE
What a way to start 2025 in such a beautiful home on a golf estate that you exudes tranquility . Andriette is an amazing hostess, very friendly and always responsive. Our stay was just amazing. The pictures do not do justice to the home. The attention to detail and the numerous game options available is unmatched. The pool was an added bonus. Had an amazing weekend and will be back soon!!!!!!!!

Big house at the foot of the Hermanus mountains.
Elsja made sure we were warmly welcomed - Christmas decorations, gifts for our dogs and some fabulous treats for us! This is our 2nd holiday at the house and love the large rooms with plenty of light and fresh air - easy walks to the beach and the mountain. We will be back! Thank you.

The Werf Paternoster
Camillas place has so much to offer! The view, the interior, just everything! We had a wonderful stay and just can recommend to everyone, who wants to have a quiet time out in paternoster! We’ll definitely come back!

Stunning home in Gowrie Village, Nottingham Road

A homely 3 bedroomed residential house
Rented this for my mother and company as she was visiting Harare for the first time. The comment from all was, "This must be expensive!" because it looks like it. The hosts take pride in their house and it is a place to book next time we go ourselves. Thank you for providing us a wonderful place.

Doran Vineyards Manor House
We split this beautiful place 2 with other couple friends and enjoyed the relaxation so much. The views were jaw dropping at sunset over the vineyards.

Self-Catering house with sea view
Sarah was a fantastic host - helpful, friendly and quick to respond. The house had lovely views and it was a very easy walk to the beach - ideal location. It fitted our group more than comfortably and made our Kenton stay just the rejuvenating holiday we were after!

Spacious 6 Bedroom House
One of my favourite places I have ever stayed. Such a beautiful home. So comfortable and the views are incredible. We cannot wait to come back.

Mmaset Houses 3 bedrooms
Great place, clean, fun pool! Super friendly and helpful hosts. We loved our stay at that house. Only negative thing for us: the neighborhood is a little far from Gaborone center and is not super fun to walk around (dirt roads, a little dirty)

Knysna Holiday Home
A beyond five star stay! The stay was the most comfortable I have ever had with my elderly mom who has special needs for her mobility. Owen and his support are incredible and helpful. We literally never needed for a single thing. It is comfortable, clean, well located, all the possible utilities you might need. If you are going to Knysna, you have found your dream accommodation right here!

Luxury at 230 (House & Cottage)
Nikky and Tom were extremely helpful and very responsive even from before we arrived. Weeks before we arrived they offered us to spend time at the pool area if we arrived early. On the day they called to say we can do an early check in which was great especially after a long trip. From the time we arrived they immediately came out to help. We had a 5 foot trailer which Tom was so kind to help push into the parking area. Pool and 24hr Heated Jacuzzi was sparkling. The family spent hours in there. Nikky and Tom take great care of their home and their guests. Thank you for being excellent hosts and a memorable stay.

Table Mountain Home with Ocean View
Se one time we have stayed here with a group of friends. Friendly host and great location. Amazing views!
