Cabin holiday rentals in Southern Africa

We had such a lovely time! The place was incredibly clean and tidy, which made settling in so easy. We especially loved how peaceful and secluded it felt — the quiet surroundings were exactly what we needed to unwind. It was cosy and comfortable, just the way we enjoy our getaways. This spot is a perfect winter staycation, and we’d definitely book again!

We stayed in the Wheat Cabin. The view was fantastic, the cabin well equipped with everything we needed and more. The hot tub was a great addition and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The cabin is private and the best break away from the hustle and bustle. Lida and Kobus were fantastic hosts and ensured that we had no shortcomings, including complimentary wine and homemade bread.We will be back soon!

Had a lovely stay in the cottage. You are really out in the middle of nowhere, it is quite peaceful and quiet. Beautiful views around and the stars at night were spectacular. The included game drive was great! We saw giraffes, springbok, wildebeast and some antelope on the drive. We also saw zebras while driving on our way out. The bathtub was massive. Nice towels and robes as well. We used the pizza oven and braai and enjoyed the semi catered package. Note - there were a fair amount of flies in and around the cottage and they were quite annoying but bugs were expected with the remote location. I recommend taking a SUV vs a car when driving there.

We had a peaceful and relaxing stay with complete privacy – just what we needed to unwind. The 4x4 drive to the cabin added a great sense of adventure, and the setting was beautifully tranquil. Although the WiFi wasn’t working during our stay, it gave us the perfect excuse to truly disconnect and enjoy the quiet. We would definitely recommend it as a serene getaway!

Thank you so much for just an amazing weekend stay. 🥰 it was such a beautiful accommodation, the view is amazing, and just the overall atmosphere is exceptional. We will Def be back in next few months. ☀️☀️

The cabin was lovely, with a very comfortable bed. The cabin was also very warm and comfortable during the cold evenings. The hot tub was also a great addition. Wonderful staff who made the stay even better with their kindness and willingness to help.

Will and Franziska have a lovely accommodation and we’re always eager to help with recommendations or problems. After a long day exploring Cape Town there is nothing better than relaxing in the sauna and enjoy the stunning view from the patio.

What a great weekend getaway for any season. We had a wonderful time on a rainy weekend with the fire place and hot tub. The hosts were responsive and the place is fully equipped.

Very cute and cosy cottage with the most stunning views. We were 3 adults and a toddler and we really enjoyed our stay. Perfect place if you like the quiet and outdoors. We loved seeing the springbok from afar and the zebra’s, that came to visit us at the cottage. The cottage has all amenities needed for a convenient stay. Only other remark is that the pool area was a bit further away (not walking distance with a toddler) than anticipated, and it’s quite basic. Still enjoyed a nice swim on a hot day. Totally recommend booking this cottage!

The hostess was very nice

Anton was a very responsive and accommodating host. The place is tucked away in nature which means lots of serene sounds, peace and quietness. The place is decked out with all the basic cooking stuff, guides and books to really disconnect from our city lives. Only challenge was getting our small rental car over the driveway to the cabin. Highly recommended

This surpassed our expectations. It's a very tranquil and beautiful spot; the river by the collage is stunning, and the host was extremely helpful when we got trapped in the mud. Whatever you do, stay a day longer. You will regret not staying longer.

Helen is the most attentive and wonderful host. She is willing to assist with any queries or to just give you a great recommendation, from hiking to eating. Her homemade meals are also a delight. We appreciated her hospitality and her relaxed nature. Helens homestead is such a fun exciting place to relax with wonderful views, a Waterfall and friendly dogs who welcomed ours with no issue. A definite must for anyone wishing to visit Hogsback.

An absolutely breathtaking place – stunning views, complete tranquility, and everything you need to truly unwind for a few days in nature. The house is well equipped with all essentials, plus some special extras like a lovely pool, a spacious braai area, and a skylight in the bedroom to fall asleep under the stars. Philipp is a fantastic host – warm, attentive, and always available if needed. And as a delightful surprise, two curious and adorable klipspringers occasionally wander by as local residents. A truly special stay, highly recommended!

Fantastic location, view, scenery from your beautiful forest cottage!

We had a wonderful stay! It was super homely and we loved the view. The hot tub and the fireplace inside made it even more cozy. We especially appreciated the easy and quick communication. The people who worked at the farm were also very helpful and kind. Very recommendable if you are looking for the perfect place to relax and get out of busy town. Thanks a lot :)

We had a peaceful and refreshing stay at this beautiful forest cabin. Surrounded by trees, birdsong (from afar and close), and a view of a mountain right in front of us, it was the perfect nature escape. We had a gas braai outside on the patio and lit the fire for a cosy winters night, playing board games. The forest trails were a bonus, and our host was super friendly and easy to contact. Highly recommend for anyone needing a quiet getaway!

My stay was a unique experience. The views from the house were incredible, even better than the pictures advertised. Very easy check in and no issues with getting in and out etc. The only issue we had was that there was a power outage on the second day, but that's to be expected in South Africa. Susan, was great to communicate the issue and progress updates. She even offered us a free extra night if we wanted to stay a little longer. Would love go back one day and I highly recommend this spot.

Firstly, thank you Esbie for your warm hospitality and welcoming our furry kids to your free-roaming Billiard Room facilities. Secondly, Die Boothuis was an exceptional experience - we loved the days spent. Our furry kids loved the environment, as we appreciated the tranquility. We'll be back in summer to explore the "cave". This is really a GEM to visit, relax and enjoy!!! Till next time.

Extremely beautiful place with a very beautiful view of the ocean. Felt extremely safe in the area and there was lots of beautiful spots and restaurants around the area

The place is very nice with beautiful view. Loved my stay and sure will come back if next time visited cape town.

We had a fantastic time at this accommodation! The proximity to the beach was simply brilliant and made our stay particularly pleasant. The accommodation itself was furnished with great attention to detail - tasteful, cosy and simply comfortable. The view was breathtaking: both the mountains and the sea were beautiful to see and gave the place a unique atmosphere. All in all, an unforgettable experience - we would love to come back!"

The cabin is perfectly situated close to town, pictures almost don’t do the beautiful location justice. The deck on the river was a wonderful bonus. We hope to be back soon

Beautiful place, friendly people. You should also do their massage wow. Loved everything
