Vacation rentals with lake access in Onrus River

Our second stay at this place. Very clean and neat. Beautiful bathrooms. Host very responsive as was he the first stay. Our only complaint is there is no braai dishes and we braai every night, but the host has undertaken to acquire these for our third visit! We will definitely stay here again.

Lovely and well kept, Heleen was super as a host, the location was amazing with clever architecture to hide from the wind and still enjoy the clear nights and days.

Our second time here at this wonderful house on the edge of the lagoon was truly spectacular! The house has absolutely everything you could need including table tennis, tennis racquets, bicycles and board games. The proximity to the water is very special with our boat moored at the beach right in front of the house. Thank you so much Marlize!

We had a fantastic family stay at Carol's beautiful beach home. It was spotless. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay, and we felt at ease and relaxed from the minute we walked in. Nice courtyard at the back to entertain and keep out of the wind on some of the days. Otherwise, a lovely braai spot in from of the house on the verande with ocean views. Morning coffee on the veranda every day, with a view of the ocean, was a treat. Just a short walk down the path to the harbour with restaurants and little shops as well as soft serve ice cream. A brisk 2km walk down to the main beach all along the coastline making. Carol was super friendly, and her home is truly a gem.

We fell in love with the village of Stanford and the soul restoring River Home. This beautiful house is right on the river's edge and is a real treat (and retreat) to stay in. Just the place to surrender to nature, listen to the birdsong, rest and restore. We loved walking along the delightful river path. A short walk into the centre of town will bring you to several delightful restaurants. We ate at three of them (for lunch at Madré we enjoyed a really good pork belly with crispy skin and vegetables, at La Trattoria we had a feast of authentic Italian food and Agteros has a menu full of delightful South African dishes done with a modern twist). We also brownsed in some delightful homewear and gift shops. If you prefer eating at home, the kitchen at River House has everything you need to cook a gourmet meal. It is spotless, has a great gas hob and electric oven and a dishwasher for cleaning up after.

Everything about this trip was amazing. The house is spacious, beautiful and modern. Great for multiple families. The valley is breathtakingly beautiful with a little stream for the kids to play in. Jannie was an incredible host from booking to checkout. Thank you for a wonderful trip.

I had a lovely stay at this beautiful home with a stunning view of the ocean. The location is fantastic — just a short walk to breathtaking coastal walkways and the harbor. It’s a peaceful spot with everything you need for a comfortable stay. A couple of things to note: the oven was unfortunately not clean when we arrived, but the host was responsive and came to clean it the next day so that I was able to use it. I really appreciated the responsiveness. Also, while the house is well-equipped overall, a proper vacuum cleaner would really help future guests, especially those traveling with pets. The handheld one provided isn’t quite effective for cleaning the carpets. All in all, a great stay in a wonderful location. Would definitely recommend this place.

Clare was an amazing host and her home a perfect stay. Beautiful views and intimate setting to enjoy quality time with friends and family. Indoor and outdoor braais, many bedrooms and a lovely terrace area. Everything was clean and read for us on arrival. I can't recommend it enough!

We had such an incredible stay at Rene's place! Great location, clean, and really kind and helpful host. We loved the outdoor shower! Walking distance to the rock pools and beach and a short drive to Hermanus and the town. We can't wait to come back to visit.

I needed a weekend to relax and clear my head and that’s exactly what I managed to do. The view was incredible. I saw some amazing sunrises and sunsets. The area was peaceful too. Even though the cabins are close together, you still feel like you’re completely alone out there. The cabin had everything you needed. Lisa was also quick to respond to messages.

We really enjoyed our time at the cottage. it was quiet and peaceful but close enough to all major sites and lots of restaurants. The cottage is well furnished and has more than everything you could need for a shor or long stay. The garden and patio are well furnished and make for a relaxing chill spot after a long day of sightseeing. Our pets were also well accommodated for and had a wonderful time playing in the garden.

what a beautiful getaway 😍, would definitely come again.

Kyle’s place is absolutely incredible! The views alone are worth the stay—truly breathtaking. The house itself is spacious, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Everything was fresh and inviting, from the clean linens to the lovely scent throughout the home. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made our stay even more comfortable. Kyle was an outstanding host—extremely responsive and helpful, always quick to reply to any questions we had. We genuinely wish we had a couple more days to soak in both the house and the charm of Hermanus. Without a doubt, we 100% recommend Kyle’s place to anyone planning a trip to Hermanus!

Serina and her husband were lovely hosts, kind and friendly. The room we stayed in was very clean, comfortable and beautifully furnished and decorated. It was peaceful and easy to access. Onrus is a good place to stay away from the hustle and bustle of Hermanus. It has a lovely beach and a few good restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed staying with Serina and would love to return.

The host Rian was very friendly & informstive, always gave me updates, very quiet & clean place. Definitely i will revisit Riann' s place "Coco cabana again, i will refer friends & relatives.

Very nice place. Picture perfect views, immaculate unit. Well organized, well equipped, piecefull and relaxing. Good braai area. We will be back !!!

The cottage was fantastic, beautiful setting with great privacy. You have a whole dam to yourself, walk in the vineyards, relax in the wood fire hot tub under the stars. No complaints, but do not plan to cook a lot of meals, the kitchen is small and washup area, we lit a braai outside and that was perfect. Definitely would recommend and return.

The cottage was private and plenty of outside space for our beach toys and dogs.

Even though we had horrible weather the days we stayed at the house, we still had an amazing time. The house has a nice fire place to make the experience cozy during cold or rainy weather. The kitchen is perfectly stocked, the beds are very comfortable and the view is spectacular even during stormy weather. Close to Hermanus and Stanford but also nice and remote so that we could properly disconnect. We could not have been happier.

Lovely location, remote enough for nature lovers but just 15min from Gansbaai for groceries, etc. Plenty of scenic walks for all fitness levels, multiple swimming spots, nearby Lomond wine farm has great MTB trails. The cottage is spacious and comfortable, the covered outdoor seating area with braai is a relaxing vibe. Would revisit for sure.

This was our second time staying here. We love it. Great location. Lots of entertainment for the kids. Alex a fantastic efficient host. We will definitely be back.
