The Lookout
We had a lovely stay at Imraan's! The house and the view were so stunning and that made one almost not want to leave the house at all. We also got great recommendations and communication was also very easy. Thank you!

Pura Vida AC Beachfront & Car Rental -20%diving
This rental home is probably one of the most unique that we have ever experienced. Incredible natural beauty, gorgeous views, refreshing outdoor bathrooms, etc. Felt like we are in nature while having the luxuries of civilization. Truly a memorable stay. Dave and his crew are helpful and accommodating. If we ever get out to Tofo again, we would love to stay here for an even longer duration.

Garden Cottage on Cherry Lane with beach access
This is our second stay at Mark and Karen's quaint cottage. We had friends from Australia staying with us and they absolutely loved the position and the fact that we could walk straight onto the beach to witness the sardines arrive at the Pennington Skiboat Club, within easy walking distance from the cottage. Thanks to Neil, who met us on our arrival and was always helpful and available on his cell phone. We will definitely be back!

Myoli’s View Pet Friendly Beach House
We were very impressed by the house. Even more beautiful than in the pictures. We were very impressed and will definitely be back and recommend it to friends and family.

The Lobster Pot - Simons Town Holiday Cottage
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

Weskus-Beskus Beach Front House, Dwarskersbos.
Thank you to Mariette for a great stay in a great house. We loved the place and excellent communication.

Private path to beach, back-up solar power
..ended up spending 18 wonderful days with lots of reason to be there again. Babette and Cheryl are warm and hospitable. The air is breathable and believe me the house is a perfect escape to relax, unwind and enjoy the beauty of the ocean. It’s truly a slice of heaven!

Clean House Stilbaai
We had a lovely and comfortable stay. We were two families of four with young kids. Couldn’t have asked for a better location with the beach on your doorstep and we felt right at home. The house was wonderfully equipped and has everything you need to make your stay as easy as possible and wonderfully clean. We would happily go back and would recommend.

180• Sea Views from a Hillside Villa, Solar Power
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

Seaside Sanctuary
Loved every moment in this beautiful home. Stunning surroundings and just what our family needed to recharge and touch base with each other. Life is hectic for us but the moment we arrived it felt like home. Highly recommend this listing. Thank you Sarah xxx

Sky Light Apt 4
What a beautiful lady! What a beautiful place! Stunning finished ( may not be to everyone’s pallet but it was perfect for me!) and just the quiet was loud at first but only because I am from JHB and all I know is noise… but she was so kind to me and totally understood and helped me settle beautifully in the silence.✨✨✨ Love love love this place! I’ll try come through in summer when the weather is more accommodating for outdoor activities but to be honest all I wanted was to be in peace and quiet and I got exactly that!❤️❤️ Thank you Yvonne💐 Really appreciate your hospitality ❤️✨

Seascape
Great place, loved every minute of it

Will definitely visit again! This cottage is the perfect coastal escape, surrounded by breathing taking flora and landscapes. The ocean view is spectacular! We felt right at home here and out hosts were just wonderful.

Sun Villa ~ seaside holiday home with pool
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.

Knysna Lodge Glamping Self Catering Cabin 3
Our stay in the treehouse was absolutely delightful! The atmosphere was peaceful, surrounded by nature, which added to the cozy vibe. The interior was charming and well-equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. I loved the little touches that made my experience special. I can’t wait to come back! This place truly deserves a perfect 10/10!

Silver Sands Beach Villa
Super Host! Extremely friendly and patient. 🙏🏻

Beachfront villa near Port Elizabeth
We absolutely loved our stay at Breaking Waves! The place was spotless, and the attention to detail was truly heartwarming. The welcome packets were such a thoughtful touch, and seeing our names on the welcome board made us feel instantly special and at home. It’s clear that a lot of care and love goes into hosting here. We had a wonderful time and can’t thank you enough for your warm hospitality!

3 Bed Beachfront Paradise!
Wow, this place. We loved everything from the communication with Colin to the entire place and view. Colin is such a good host. Kept checking on us. The place is spotless. Will definitely stay there again .

Ocean Retreat, Romansbaai Beach & Fynbos Estate
We had the most incredible stay and cannot recommend this place highly enough! From the moment we arrived, Rozanne made us feel completely at home — she’s a truly exceptional host: warm, thoughtful, and always available if we needed anything. The home itself is stunning, with stylish and beautifully curated interior décor that strikes the perfect balance between luxury and comfort. The indoor fireplace was a cozy highlight, and we spent unforgettable dinners at the indoor Braai (bbq) enjoying great food. And the view — absolutely to die for. Waking up to the sight of Springboks and Zebras roaming in the distance felt like something out of a dream. Despite its elegant design, the house was surprisingly child-friendly, making it an ideal getaway for our whole family. Every detail was considered. We’re already thinking of our return — next time, to catch the whales! Thank you again, Rozanne, for everything.

SeaPad @ Romansbaai Beach Estate -Beachfront
10/10! By far the best service and experience we have ever had. Best stay ever! This was a great experience. The staff was very polite and well-organised…..exceptional aspects like stunning views, impeccable design, and attentive service, peaceful environment everything stood out for me .

Absolute Beachfront Apartment-Direct beach access.
"My family and I had a fantastic stay at this beachfront apartment. The sea views were stunning, the location was perfect, and we felt very safe throughout our visit. The property was spacious, clean, and well-maintained — an ideal place for a relaxing getaway."

Beachfront Bliss: Luxury Amenities & Ocean Views
The house was extremely spacious with very comfortable indoor and outdoor living spaces. And the view of Camps Bay beach was incredible. Walk out the back gate and you are steps from the beach. The garage space provided secure parking and the maid service was an unexpected benefit. We has a perfect stay and hope to return. Nick was very responsive and provided great restaurant recommendations.
