Holiday rentals with a fireplace in South Africa

We had an amazing break away for 8 adults and a child and the accommodation ticked all the boxes with high quality beds and bedding. The pool has a safety net over which immediately set me at ease with regards to kid safety. You really don't want for anything in the kitchen, it's fully equipped. The host was really helpful and responsive on questions. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to go back again.

Guthrie's house was amazing - amazing setting in Cederberg and very tastefully furnished. It was our privilege to stay at their family farmhouse. Slightly out of the beaten way but broadly speaking a great place for a getaway.

10/10 will be back again

We just left Cape Town and our stay at Gareth’s beautiful home overlooking the beach below. It was even better than the photos! We woke to an amazing view of the sun rise each morning! The beds are super comfy and the rooms bright and airy during the day. Such an incredible experience. We loved being south of downtown Cape Town with easier access to Boulders Beach and Cape of Good Hope. We could have enjoyed spending an entire week soaking it all in. We would recommend this home to anyone visiting. It was also super safe secluded on the hillside with a secure garage and gated pathway to the home and off the beaten path.

Fun and quirky home - beautifully styled and thoughtfully designed.

An absolute treasure surrounded by pristine nature on your doorstep. The home is tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen, a ceiling to floor bookcase filled with wonder and excitement and the wraparound porch allows sun worshippers or shade seekers opportunity to spend every moment outside. The beds are super comfy, and each room showcases the astounding view. Unwind, relax and soak up the serenity.... the only challenge is that you'll not want to leave.

Everything was where it was meant to be. Peaceful, private and completely relaxing. Clean, high quality linen, modern accessories and facilities. Clear, easy to follow instructions for that perfect stay. We are already planning our return visit to the home, choosing it over others in the area. Thank you Charlotte.

A group of friends spent a long weekend at the Whale Huys which exceeded expectations. The setting on the mountainside directly above the sea is spectacular and each bedroom has a sea view. The owners have catered for every need. Even though it was winter we had very warm weather and were able to enjoy the heated pool and the hot tub. One could spend all day taking in the panoramic view over the sea and watching the whales in the bay. We received a warm welcome from Rene on arrival and felt at home right away. We hope to be back soon!

The stay at the villa was very wonderful and the owner of the villa, Catherine, was very kind and helpful. The villa is private and has everything you need.

We had a wonderful stay with Marelize and Dawie! The hosts were friendly and very helpful. The unit was perfect, spacious and the fireplace was a big bonus for us. The location is absolutely perfect and ideal for anyone wanting to visit Franschhoek and all the surrounding wine farms. 100% would recommend!

What a beautiful apartment with amazing views 🤩. The sunrise over the mountain was so spectacular. I really enjoyed my stay at this lovely apartment. Picasso always there to assist with anything. What a lovely host. Will definitely come back.

I really enjoyed staying at Michelle’s place. She was a wonderful host. The place is nice and fully equipped in secure and safe location. We couldn’t ask for a better place. Highly recommend it.

What a amazing Airbnb experience with Tacha! She welcomed me and we immediately felt like old friends. She gave me a ton of great tips. The house is just amazing, beautiful decor, comfy bed and bedsheets, the view is amazing some days I could smell the sea water! You can walk everywhere or get a uber it always like 5$ for a 10-15 min drive. You should definitely book it 👍🏽

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sunsets, sea, and pure Sea Point magic! What a brilliant stay! The apartment had jaw-dropping views of the sunset over the ocean — we caught golden hour every evening with a glass in hand. Right in the heart of Sea Point’s buzz, we were steps away from great coffee, epic bagels, and the promenade. The space was spotless, stylish, and felt like a proper home away from home. Host was a legend – friendly, responsive, and made sure we had everything we needed. Absolutely loved it. Highly recommend and definitely coming back!

Absolutely lovely place! Well equipped with everything.

Cassandra's place is a hidden gem! It is cosy, perfectly located near restaurants yet secluded enough near the mountains and stocked with everything one will need for a lovely stay. The cottage has beautiful views of the mountains from all angles and rooms, the patio is perfect for an early morning coffee or afternoon braai and the kitchen has everything we needed to feel at home. Everything was neat and tidy. Checking in and out was a breeze and there are board games, books and an array of streaming services to keep you entertained. The fireplace is the star of the show and we thoroughly enjoyed making use of it in the evenings. We are already planning our next visit to G+T cottage.

The property is out of a dream, gorgeous views, watching sunrises from the pool area while having breakfast was the highlight of our stay, one of the best homes we’ve stayed in, it’s alittle far from town but they’re still quite alot you can do around the area, Debbie our host was such an Angel, always eager to assist when we needed anything although the house gets quite chilly in the evenings but there’s a fire place and heater to keep you warm, plus heated blankets. Overall had an amazing time

Our stay at this beautiful home in Springerbaai Eco Estate was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the peaceful surroundings, stunning ocean views, and the sense of total privacy. The house is spacious, thoughtfully laid out, and equipped with everything we needed for a relaxing family holiday. We especially loved the large deck—it was the perfect spot for morning coffee, seeing the exceptional sunrises and watching the dolphins in the ocean below. We saw wildlife right from the house and enjoyed quiet walks on the estate’s trails and down to the untouched beach. Highly recommend!

Allen's home on Clifton beach was perfect for our family of 7. Unbelievable views of the beach with amazing windows to view from most every room. I could have stayed there a year. Amos, the in-house keeper, was amazing at the household duties and we enjoyed seeing him around the property. We will be back and we will recommend this amazing place.

I stayed at Bakoven Bliss with friends from the USA, and we all enjoyed it tremendously! The ocean view is an absolute highlight. The house is beautifully kept, and we felt right at home. Will definitely return.

This was an amazing venue and hopefully not our last. Charlene’s place is beautiful and the photo’s do not give it justice. Even in winter the sun still beats this side of the earth and allows for warm days reading in the sun or driving in the game reserve and seeing some amazing animals. Charlene was an extremely friendly host. She kept in touch to make sure that everything was going according to plan and she was quick to step in with assistance when she could. We felt absolutely spoilt and the long weekend away from the kids was worth it for us. 100\10 would totally recommend, again, again and again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Grassroots! Every detail has been thought of and the amenities are amazing. From the gorgeous furniture to the linen to the quality glassware & cookware to the hammock which was a hit with the kids, even the ice machine, wine fridge and airfryer 👌 All amazing! We’ll be back!

This is a lovely house, perfect for our big family group. The views were spectacular, standing out on the balcony watching the sunrise was quite something. The house was well situated, a bit of a walk down to the town (and a more painful walk back up the hill!) Yvette was very responsive to a couple of teething niggles, which was helpful, as were her recommendations for local spots to visit.

Lovely home away from home which is right by the sea. Other than being comfortable, in great location for walking and taking in nature. Bonus is responsive and helpful host. Highly recommend.
