Family-friendly holiday rentals in Edgemead

We loved staying here. The weather was a hot mess over our stay and the plunge pool was a dream (it's shaded all day) and there is great AC in the bedroom. The photos don't do the balcony justice – a neat little place to eat dinner each night. The apartment is a laughably short walk from supermarkets, Vida and Prashad's (vegetarian Indian food 10/10), super safe, well-supplied kitchen. Alleyne was very welcoming and kind enough to provide us with milk, bread and fruit on arrival – a nice touch when you're staying for a few days. In a few words: homey and a bit like staying with family (in a good way).

What a wonderful time we had in Alex’s beautiful Higgovale House with its special atmosphere. A home from home we felt immediately at ease. The tropical gardens give the feeling of being in the midst of the jungle - despite being only minutes from the lively Kloof Street with its many restaurants and coffee shops (wine bar/coffee shop/deli Tamboerswinkel deserves a special mention). We felt very safe at night and enjoyed being able to access Cape Town‘s sights quickly. A highlight was our hike to Lions Head - again only a stone throw away from the house. Alex’s great communication throughout our stay was not surprising, given his friendly welcome and advice and whilst we didn’t stay long enough to get to know her, housekeeper Barbara also seemed very friendly and attentive. We will be back!

Beautiful home and a great space for a family or small group. Located just down the road from botanical gardens in a gorgeous neighborhood. Kitchen had everything we needed. Our group included a couple of small kids so we appreciated that there were plenty of at-home activities when we were not out and about in Cape Town (pool, hot tub, playground, smart TV, books). Wish we could’ve stayed longer — hope to come again!

This villa is simply amazing. We went with a group of 9 friends in mid December for 8 nights. The housekeeper Julius welcomed us and showed everything when we arrived. He also was there every day (except Saturday) and always available on Whats App. Everything was perfect from the beginning to the end. We can highly recommend staying in this villa.

The location for the Tree House is simply fab!!! Views of the mountain from the house and quite centrally located to move around near hout bay, and even V&A was not too far! We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Fantastic experience! The place was spotless, stylish, and exactly as described. Super safe and in a great location. Highly recommend.

We were fortunate to have booked Glen Villa, as it turned out to be an unforgettable experience. Mary-Louise greeted us with a warm smile, took us on a tour of the villa, and provided us with detailed information about everything it had to offer. The view was breathtaking and simply amazing, as advertised. The villa was spacious and ample, and it was cleaned every day. We were also offered a convenient laundry service on-demand. We want to express our deepest gratitude to Mary-Louise for making our stay so enjoyable. We will definitely be returning to Glen Villa in the future.

We had an amazing time at Jochen's House in Cape Town! This was our second visit, and once again, everything was perfect. We especially enjoyed the stunning rooftop view and the relaxing jacuzzi. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful stay!

Such a enjoyable stay right on the beach. Iris was so friendly and very helpful. We will definitely be back

Great host, great location and accommodation would definitely go back again

This house is in a great location and has a really central city feel. We really enjoyed our stay here. The house has all essentials available and there is a lovely cafe across the road which does good breakfasts as well as other restaurants a few minutes walk away. It is well located in central Cape Town making all tourist attractions easily accessible. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. We were very grateful for this as we locked ourselves out and within twenty minutes someone was able to open the house up and let us in again! Can really recommend the house to anyone who wants to get a feel for more central Cape Town.

Admittedly - the photos in the listing look too nice to be true, but if you are in the apartment, then everything is even better !!! This incredibly breathtaking view of Table Mountain and the bay - you don't really want to leave the apartment again. But that would also be a shame, because the close to the beach invites you to extensive walks and various restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The apartment itself is functional, smart and nicely furnished. Everything is very clean. The quality of the mattresses ensures a good night's sleep after intensive vacation days. The rental car can be safely parked on the premises. In short, I was there for four days and would have loved to spend a few days, but unfortunately the holiday was over. What a great end to the vacation! Thank you Liz !!!

I stayed in Dorette's flat for 5 months, and it really did feel like home. The neighbors in the apartment building were very friendly, the flat managed to remain cool during very hot days, the courtyard was very peaceful and private, and Dorette herself was very friendly and very responsive to my questions. I have fallen in love with the Vredehoek area, it is very peaceful (when it isn't windy!) and it was an enjoyable walk to the local grocery store and coffee shop.

Location of the house is great as it takes 7/8 mins driving to get to lions head and table mountain trails, 3/4 mins driving to get to camps bay beach, 10/12mins to get to beautiful Llandudno beach and then you are 8mins away from starting the magnificent drive to the peninsula with amongst the most picturesque and stunning views in the world. House is a three bed super comfortable and pool is great if you have kids that need to be entertained at all the time. We will come back

We have just had a month's stay here and could not have been happier with everything - host, accommodation and location. The accommodation was spacious and extremely comfortable and we really felt at home. Spencer is an amazing host - he is on things straight away and is super friendly. The location was excellent - close to Constantia Village with shops and supermarkets and a short walk/drive to the wine farm Uitsig with its many restaurants which have lovely views and a really pretty rose garden. There is also a river walk a short way down the road from Spencer's house ( right turn past the horses) that is very pretty. We loved our long stay here and can highly recommend it to locals and visitors to Cape Town. Ticks all the boxes

amazing place that allows easy access to most tourist spots in Cape Town whether city, camps bay, muizenberg, Simonstown and boulders. place is beautiful and has such a nice feeling for two families to spread out. Debbie was super responsive, checking in and out was more than accommodating for our needs. Highly recommend to all. Fantastic stay

Perfect location for city vibes. The patio with Mountain View was to die for and hosted memorable family reunion braais. Kitchen had everything we needed. My sons took a quick uber to table mountain early for a sunrise hike.. while we did the cableway. Washer and dryer was great to have. We felt right at home. Secure. Two parking bays. We ubered all over the place, Uber was always quick to respond. We walked Bree and Kloof street for shopping; and had lunch at “Our Local” which was recommended by Johan and we second this emotion! The food was incredible. No complaints. Beds comfy with electric blankets if needed. Close to everything. Wonderful stay. Debbie who came in to clean on the last day was a gem. Thank you for everything!

Colettes place was exactly what we needed to get away from the city's hustle and bustle. It was so peaceful. There were so many toys my daughter could play with and very child friendly which I appreciate. The place was clean and very neat. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay.

We had a fantastic stay. Sindre was a great host, very helpful and kind and gave us great tips for Cape Town. The house felt very safe, with incredible views over camps bay and close to surrounding nature. Recommend to rent a car or use Uber to get around.

The condo was just like the pictures. Spacious and well stocked. The location was good, easy walk to the waterfront and felt very safe. Glad we stayed here.

One of the most stunning airbnb’s I have stayed in!!! The photos are gorgeous, but in person is even better. The sunsets here are unmatched, the outdoor space is larger than what we imagined, and the inside is cozy with lots of amenities! The tap water is safe to drink and the security to the place was great. The driveway is quite steep but we got our rental car up it no problem! Anthony was fantastic and always answered so fast! He was very kind, friendly, and helpful. Thank you so much!

Here’s the English translation of your message: ⸻ These were two wonderful weeks in this cozy old house. Thank you to the hosts for keeping the house in great condition and for helping with any questions. The location is excellent – quiet, peaceful, and in a secured area. The house has everything for comfort and more: a yard, a pool, and parking. Thank you for the warm hospitality!

Great place to stay in Cape Town. Clean, safe, can walk right into table mountain trail from back gate. Lovely secluded garden with outdoor seating. Comfy double bed and single bed (not sofa bed). Kitchen even had an air fryer! Colleen left tea/coffee/milk in fridge for us (much appreciated). She was very helpful and recommended good local cafe for breakfast (liquorice and lime - get uber there in a few mins). Promptly let me back in when locked self out (door locks automatically if shuts).

Freda is a very kind and responsive host. We enjoyed staying in her beautiful space. Would highly recommend.
