Holiday rentals near Garden Route Trail

The Gull Cottage where we stayed was absolutely excellent! Ruth who owns and runs the cottage was super, welcoming us to the cottage and explaining the facilities. The cottage is very well equipped, super clean, very comfortable, and in a great location just moments from the beach. We hope to return as soon as possible!

A very clean modern property. Great access to the beach. Very helpful but not intrusive host etc. Everything one needs is here. Never gets too hot as there’s a lovely cooling sea breeze. Thoroughly recommend

Set in immaculate lush green and flower filled gardens, this guest house was perfect for a quiet few days to gather ourselves, along our road trip through the Garden route. Karin our host provided everything we needed and much more besides. She was warm friendly, helpful and informative. We appreciated the welcome New Year wine and breakfast muffins. The setting at the foot of the mountains was so restful and exquisite that we didn't leave the grounds apart from for evening dining.Our room was wonderful with a jaccuzi bath as an extra treat!Our 2 days here were delightful and we could easily gave stayed longer.Thank you Karin.Jude & Terry

Cozy home with open floor plan and recently redone interior provided a relaxing and fresh atmosphere. Large backyard, new pool, and safe neighborhood were perfect for outdoor activities and family walks. Maria went above and beyond. Her added touches of fresh flowers, coffee & tea, milk, soaps & shampoos, laundry supplies and homemade rusks were so thoughtful! She provided excellent recommendations for restaurants (like Salinas) and activites (stunning beaches, hiking, canoeing & day trips nearby) that ended up being the highlights of our vacation. She was so charming and kind, the whole family (7 of us) adored her!

This is a super house to rent for a summer holiday with a big group - spacious, open plan, pretty garden, two patios, the kids had a ball in the solar-heated pool. The house has quirky decoration and lots of interesting touches, there was plenty of bed linen and towels to use and a well equipped kitchen, including a Breville coffee machine. The location is great, 5 mins drive to Swartvlei beach, a similar distance to the lagoon, 10 mins to Myoli Beach, 2kms to the village (supermarket, cafes, restaurants). Tamara was a thoughtful, responsive hostess who dealt promptly with the various issues that arose while we stayed (broken freezer and kettle, blown fusebox). Her domestic worker was also a pleasure to have around and kept the property clean and tidy. There were a few drawbacks to the house: - there wasn't enough hot water for all 8 of us to have a shower at the same time of the day so if we all got back from the beach in the evening, we couldn't all have a hot shower to clean off - there was no tumble drier which, at the seaside with lots of wet towels and humid air, is a real drawback - insufficient crockery for the number of people in the house so we had to keep handwashing plates - the dishwasher was not very effective, the cutlery basket was broken and the large dinner plates didn't fit in so needed to be handwashed

Fabulous property looking out over the sea. Watched the whales and dolphins each morning from the balcony.
