Family-friendly holiday rentals in Grotto Bay

We had another fantastic time staying with Kelly. It was beautiful and peaceful. Kelly went above and beyond by gifting us a bottle of champagne to celebrate my girlfriend birthday. We look forward to going back.

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!

We had a wonderful stay. The space was clean, spacious and very comfortable. Laurette was incredibly friendly. Communication was excellent - responsible and informative, without ever feeling overbearing. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a relaxing and well-managed place to stay!

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!

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 had an absolutely fantastic stay at The Mountain House. You will not regret booking it! Peaceful and tranquil while still being close to restaurants and shopping at Kalk Bay. Hiking literally on your doorstep and Fishhoek and Muizenburg beaches easily accessible. The views are amazing and the hot tub is something special. The kind of place you never want to leave. Carin and Miles are excellent hosts. We hope to be back soon.

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!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ An unforgettable stay – highly recommended! Yvette’s place in Cape Town was absolutely amazing! From the moment we arrived, she made us feel incredibly welcome. She’s a warm, thoughtful, and attentive host who went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed – plus she gave us fantastic local tips that made our trip even more special. The space was spotless, beautifully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need. We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere and the stunning views – enjoying a morning coffee while taking in the scenery was the perfect start to each day. The location is ideal: safe, quiet, and within easy reach of Cape Town’s top attractions, beaches and restaurants. Whether you’re exploring the city or just relaxing, Yvette’s place is the perfect base. We felt completely at home and truly cared for. This stay exceeded all expectations – we can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Yvette, for such a memorable experience!!!

Liebrecht was a great host, very flexible for check in and check out, and the accomodation was beautiful. I highly recommend it! Thanks Liebrecht!

Rustic beach house. Not much to the accommodation, simple and comfortable. exceptional location. Loved our stay. Feels like you’re in a David Attenborough documentary. Would definitely return

Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

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.

Daleen's cottage is an absolute gem! Loved it!

Mieke’s cottage truly is a home from home. The home has all amenities, modern and very comfortable. From the moment we arrived we felt so welcome. There was a lovely welcome selection of drinks in the fridge, and a lovely bottle of wine. Lozanne is a wonderful host - she is attentive and kind. The children (and the adults) absolutely loved the animals. The splash pool was a lovely treat. We stayed for just over two weeks, and we were so sad to leave. We felt safe and secure at all times. When needed, Lozanne and her husband were on hand when we had a question. We hope to return to stay at the cottage when we visit in 2026. 5 stars in my opinion. Thank you for making our visit to South Africa such a special one.

A great family breakaway in a perfect location. Seeing dolphins from the house added to the spectacular views. Thank you!

The Glen Beach Penthouse is beautiful. The views of the ocean are dramatic and unobstructed. The accommodations are stylish and clean. I enjoyed my ritual of walking down to Camps Bay for coffee, and even dinner, which only took 5-10 minutes. I highly recommend this Airbnb and I will certainly stay here again when I return to Cape Town.

Very charming and homely property they host is so ready assist in anyway the home is so welll equipped for family life a definite go to stay in CPT

Given our reason for staying wasn't under the best of circumstances, Francy's location was ideal for our needs. It’s in a beautiful location, is peaceful, & Francy was an impeccable host. Really hope we can stay here again in the future.

Great spot with a lovely garden. Property also has some very friendly cats and dogs which made the stay even better:)

Loved this Gem. I’ve been to Airbnb’s all over the world and this one will definitely be one to remember. Also the host is lovely and very helpful

Beautiful property, helpful staff. Perfect for a trip to the winelands!

Karin and Frikkie were welcoming hosts, and the cottage is on a beautiful working farm with views across the fields. Good for anyone wanting an uncomplicated and peaceful farm-style break.

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