Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Southern Africa

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.

We had a truly warming and memorable stay at this wonderful place. It’s an ideal spot for families, especially those with children. The area is peaceful and safe, with plenty of open space for kids to play and explore. Inside, the house is both cozy and well-equipped. The bedding was especially nice—fresh, clean, and super comfortable, which made for restful nights after busy days. One of our favorite features was the fireplace, which made the winter evenings feel extra special and added to the overall cozy atmosphere. The kitchen deserves a special mention—spacious, modern, and fully stocked with everything we needed to cook for the whole family. It made preparing meals together a real pleasure. This place strikes the perfect balance between comfort and practicality. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing break or a fun-filled family retreat, it’s an excellent choice. We’ll definitely be coming back!

Really enjoyed the stay in Glen Beach. Would recommend to all.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The view was simply breathtaking waking up each morning to such a serene and beautiful landscape was a highlight of our trip. The area is incredibly peaceful and quiet, which made it the perfect place to relax and unwind. Inside, the home is just as impressive. The interior was beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches and tasteful decor that made the space feel warm, comfortable, and inviting. Everything was spotless and well-maintained, and it was clear that a lot of care went into creating such a lovely atmosphere. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

Lovely house in beautiful location - really felt like a proper holiday. Patrick was very responsive and helped with questions very quickly. We loved our stay!

Thank you for such a lovely spot, a little slice of serene quietness. House had everything we needed, well equipped and a well thought out layout, James was a welcoming host. We spent our time hiking, stargazing, bonding as a family and getting to know Mango the Mongoose. We loved every minute and will definitely be back!

We loved our stay here while we were visiting Cape Town. It has an amazing view of the ocean and a wonderful outdoor space to enjoy it. The house was extremely clean and well-stocked for our stay, and Naomi was very kind and attentive. There is plenty of space for anywhere from a couple to a large family to stay. We will definitely book this Airbnb again on our next trip to Cape Town!

Bush baby haven is really the perfect holiday villa. Very private and incredibly safe. We completely unwinded here! The rooms are clean and spacious. It is also nice to have a shower, bath and outdoor shower. The braai and the swimming pool are a nice addition. But what made it really fantastic for us were the animals (especially the Bush babies but also the diver, porcupine, nyala, squirrels), so sweet and cozy (and therefore no annoying insects). Tanya is so warm and friendly! Don't hesitate and go here to relax!

We spent 4 nights here and loved it. In fact on more than one occasion we scrapped parts of our itinerary to head back to the apartment and just chill. The morning sunrise from the Balcony is superb. The decor that perfect blend of style and usability. And for our ends it was amazingly located. We wanted to enjoy the Labia theatres famous Dinner and movie special and it was less than an 8min drive. We wanted to hike Lions Head and that was less than 15min to the parking lot. Same for the V&A. EVERYTHING felt like it was at our doorstep. Tori was an incredible host and the apartment ticked every box from views to comfortable bed to value for money and location. Truly 10/10.

If you’re planning to explore the mountains, Cape Point, and the Cape of Good Hope, this place is a perfect choice. The location offers a peaceful escape surrounded by nature. The furniture is charming and vintage with a beautiful Greek-style touch. It’s a unique and worthwhile experience. The host was kind and welcoming – thank you for the hospitality!

Lieze is such a wonderful hostess. Always ensuring that we are well, safe and OK. We loved the easy convince and access of the property. The place was clean, warm and felt right at home. The electric blankets swept me away😅😅 Wish we could have stayed longer.

We had a fantastic stay at Lisa’s home which is very hospitable and very close to the coffee shops and restaurants. Lisa is responsive and very friendly - she was also very flexible with a special request we asked of her. This is a recommended stay and host and would love to stay again!!

Absolutely breathtaking views and most incredible stay. Highly recommend for a peaceful getaway

This is an awesome little place located within a wine estate! We felt so cozy and the view from the balcony was just beautiful. We even spotted some springbok while enjoying the coffee and rusks left for us. Julie was so friendly and accommodating. Thank you and we will be back!

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!

The space was really relaxing and perfect for a holiday. So many amazing books! It was luxurious, spacious, central to everything in the city and we felt really safe. The cleanliness is impeccable. Great for groups who are in sync with bed time as upstairs bedroom and downstairs area can hear/see eachother. The lounge is so comfy for movie night with a huge tv, fantastic couch to comfortably seat everyone with soft throws. The main bedroom has a low door that you need to duck under, which can be tricky for night time loo trips. I'm a circus performer and my partner is a climber so we loved climbing the ladders. Abundant appliances: coffee maker, air fryer, blenders, washing machine and dryer. Joshua was so responsive when we needed anything and just lovely to communicate with. We loved staying here and I hope we can come back some day.

Home away from home. What a beautiful place. We really enjoyed our short stay. Would definitely recommend. Big ups to Sean for the amazing hospitality and communication throughout.

I had such a peaceful stay here. My partner and I booked here to get away and rest and that’s exactly what we did. Our hosts were checking in on us and made sure we were comfortable and gave us updates as to what was happening in the area. Overall great stay, very peaceful and enjoyable 😊

Enjoyed it, Herni anticipated our needs and acted accordingly.

Fantastic views. Comfortable bedrooms and great ablutions. Close to many restaurants and for sports mad world class promenade to run awesome swimming pool to train and great cycling routes. Happy space for the fat triathletes and people who love sea sunsets

Such a great little find! Generously stocked with all the amenities you need, clean and comfortable and in a super convenient location! I would highly recommend this little gem anyone looking to stay in Kalk Bay. Thanks so much for hosting me, Micaela - I really enjoyed my stay!

I couldn’t have asked for a better location, it was conveniently close to safe walking areas, shops, a beautiful park & restaurants yet was in a relatively quiet road. The apartment is beautifully appointed with absolutely everything you need, especially in the kitchen. It’s light & airy with stunning views. You feel secure & totally at ease there. Very obliging staff, in all, everything to recommend it.

Better than we could've imagined. amazing hosts, will be coming back in the near future for sure!
