Family-friendly vacation rentals in Eastern Cape

We had the pleasure of going back to St Francis and just had the best time. From the moment we arrived Tanya made us feel right at home. The location worked so well for us with youngsters going to Billies and we had easy access to the canals. We look forward to coming back :)

Our team had a once again a fantastic experience staying at this Airbnb! The space was perfect for our group – comfortable, well-equipped, and in a great location. The host was friendly and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We appreciated the thoughtful touches and quick communication throughout our stay. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a seamless and enjoyable stay. We hope to return in the future

Sarah was a fantastic host - helpful, friendly and quick to respond. The house had lovely views and it was a very easy walk to the beach - ideal location. It fitted our group more than comfortably and made our Kenton stay just the rejuvenating holiday we were after!

Die Unterkunft war super! Die nahe Lage zum Strand und die Küche mit dem eingebauten Braai war super. Zimmer sehr schön gestaltet bis auf eine kleine Ausnahme von der Wohnung welche auch schön gestaltet war jedoch nicht so modern wie die restlichen Zimmer ist. Wir waren eine Gruppe von 9 Personen und würden dieses Airbnb auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen!

If you're looking for a place in Plett for a family holiday with young kids (ours are 9 & 6) then this is a superb house. Nice safe and peaceful complex, communal areas are clean, the pools are great, and the house has everything you need. BUT please note the 3rd outside bedroom is actually tiny. It's a double bed, right up against the wall. My parents (Granny and Granddad) also joined us and no way they could use that as a bedroom. They can't climb over each other to get out of bed! So they moved into the 2nd bedroom and our kids slept on mattresses on the floor for 10 nights. The outside room is perfect for 1 teenager/adult. The house is well equipped, and lots to do on rainy days. It definitely needs some TLC and in need of a modernization but overall a good family holiday house in Plett.

Helt utrolig varmt og imødekommende værtspar, som gik en ekstra mil for at imødekomme vores behov. Vi ankom desværre med syge børn, men John var virkelig fleksibel i forhold til ankomsttidspunkt, så vi havde mindst mulig gene. Altid hurtigt responderende, gav gode tips til familievenlig restauranter og udlånte os desuden fine body boards! Alt i alt en super fin lejlighed med fantastisk privat og flot have, tæt afstand til skøn strand. Super udsigt ud over bugten. Vi kommer meget gerne tilbage en anden gang.

We stayed at Sue's in our way up the garden route and it was just what we needed! The hot tub was warm and ready when we arrived, the property fit our family of 4 perfectly and it really was a lovely quant little flat. The surroundings were amazing - so beautiful. Would happily come back!

We had a great stay, stunning views.

Our stay at Jane's place was magnificent. The peacefulness was exactly what we needed. The cottage is much bigger than we thought, which was a nice surprise. Will definitely be going there again.

Maria made us feel right at home. The place is incredible, and the furniture is equally impressive. We mostly followed the recommendations they gave us. The house is situated in a very safe area, just a 5-minute walk from a restaurant and a coffee shop. The beach is just a 10-minute walk away. It’s the perfect place to stay with a baby. We used the barbecue and beach chairs. Knysna is an ideal break on the Garden Route. We would have stayed longer if we could have!

The apartment was spotless and a great location to explore plett from. The bed was incredibly comfortable and had fantastic linens. We had a lovely time here and even walked to the beach to enjoy the lovely weather! Would definitely stay here again.

If you're looking for a peaceful and serene place to stay with a proper farm house experience and like to see the stars at night, you can't go wrong! This is my new halfway to the coast for sure.

What a gem of a place! Waking up to that stunning view and being just a stone’s throw from the lagoon was such a treat. It’s the perfect spot for families with young kids. The house was spacious, spotless, and well-equipped—with a cozy fireplace that made chilly nights extra special. The swimming pool and bikes were a great bonus. Tori was an absolute pleasure to deal with. We’d come back in a heartbeat.

Nos encantó quedarnos aquí, el apartamento era muy cómodo y está a dos pasos de SuperTubes.

Not my first stay here, and won't be my last. Very comfortable. Love the fully equiped kitchen (oven, stove, large fridge), TV lounge area , kitchen table to work at. and patio door to open for some fresh air. Thank you for allowing my last minute booking.

We didn't have the pleasure of meeting Ian, however Ronelle was there, his wife. She was lovely. Made us feel at home., tiny touches like rusks milk tea and coffee. The cot for my our baby. Body wash, hand soap, nice fluffy towels and plenty of extra blankets not that we needed the blankets. We had great weather while there. We wish we could've stayed longer but next time we will book both cottages they have when we have our kids with. really lovely and worth the price. It's close to everything and easy to find. it's really a little oasis with the Ian and Ronelles lush garden. We enjoyed our morning coffees out on the patio. thank you so much.

Beautiful family home with everything you need for a holiday. Quiet and safe neighbourhood. We loved our stay

We had such a wonderful time that we extended our stay. A standalone house with a private garden and a lovely distant ocean view from the dining areas. Oh and a splash pool that I missed in the description & was delighted to see. The kitchen is better equipped than my own at home. No microwave, but the stove/oven are so impressive you honestly won’t miss it. Bicycles are available which was a real treat. We had a fantastic ride to Cape St Francis to see the lighthouse. The area is very quiet - I always sleep with earplugs, but here I’d wake up in the morning realising I hadn’t even put them in. No “TV” (only a selection of DVDs) and the sound system is tricky to connect to, so I’d recommend bringing your own portable Bluetooth speaker for music. Christo was an amazing host – quick to respond, helpful, and he made everything so easy. Overall, a peaceful, very well-equipped home in a beautiful location. We enjoyed every minute.

Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Felt at home and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of our surroundings. Will make sure to visit again.

Memorable experience, highly recommend Thesen Island and the majestic home and facilities.

The apartment is very spacious, nicely furnished and well-equipped. Toddler friendly. Nice balcony as well. Very happy with the location. The host was helpful and very prompt with their communication. Would highly recommend.

Beautiful home with plenty of space. We felt so at home

We spent 4 nights as a family of 4. The property is exquisite and has all the luxury amenities. The views are breathtaking! The house is massive but feels cosy and homely. The hosts are friendly, helpful and accommodating. I’ve now found my new favourite place to stay in Knysna!

A lovely stay, great location and the town was amazing!
