The Beaches - Garden Cottage (Ground Floor Unit)

ShikhaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This property is a perfect getaway, offering the calming sounds of the ocean and a great walking path, making it both refreshing and rejuvenating. It’s also conveniently located close to everything you might need. The hosts were incredibly kind and non-invasive, even extending our stay with extra hours on Sunday, which was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Front.On the beach.Tranquil. Charming.Inviting.

JohanitaRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Our second time in the best location ever. The new renovations are just what the gem needed to make it more open. Especially the new covered deck in front overlooking the ocean with new built in braai. The best location because away from the main beach and so nice just to walk out the door with your surfboard under your arm and 1 minute later you are in the ocean. We will definitely be back very soon. Thanks a lot for and amazing week.

Beach, Mountain & Pool side home - no loadshedding

RobinaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Our stay was absolutely lovely! The house offers a beautiful view of Hout bay Harbour and Beach. You can easily and safely walk down the street to the beach, to the main road. We stayed as a family with a 2 year old child and had a wonderful stay. The equipment in the house was sufficient. The location is quite windy but that is Cape Town and Hout bay. Carrie was a great host and offered all the help You need. Thanks again!

Newly renovated townhouse within a secure estate.

JackyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Jacquie's townhouse is hands down one of my preferred accommodation choices. The unit is conveniently located, access is super easy, the actual unit looks even better than on the pictures, and it was equipped with everything you might need. We only spent one night this time, but I would definitely recommend it for a longer stay as well. PS: Loved the fluffy towels!

Olive Lane, Simbithi Eco Estate

DaniRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The house was truly beautiful, and the agent was very kind. Although we felt unsettled when the electricity was out(caused by the municipality) and there was no running water for the first 2 days, we were able to use essential utilities thanks to solar power. The steep incline of the driveway meant we had to unload the van at the bottom and walk up, but this effort was rewarded with breathtaking views from the living room, pool, and every room in the house. Despite a few inconveniences, the house’s beauty and stylish interior design more than made up for them.

The Beach House- Jacobs Bay - on the beach

AudreyRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We booked a last minute getaway to Jacobs Bay to escape some construction in our neighbourhood in Cape Town and WOW - we couldn't have picked a better place. The house is perfectly situated to block the wind so even on the windy days we were able to lay in the sun and enjoy the gorgeous views. We brought our 2 dogs and they had the time of their lives playing in the sand dunes and running on the beach. We stayed for 3 nights and we only saw a handful of people on the beach during our entire stay - what a wonderful change of pace from Cape Town during these warmer months. We will definitely be back!!

The Atlantic

SamRating, 5 stars7 months ago
Leasa was a fantastic host, very responsive, helpful and friendly. She kindly let us stay late on our check out day which was a huge bonus. The house is a comfortable and creative family home. amazing sea views from the balcony and a ladder to the roof where you can see the whole bay to check the surf. The house is as described and a perfect place for a family or a group of friends with big open plan living areas. We had a fantastic time and plan to return again.
