Raw

From remote and rustic to special occasion luxury, wild and untamed to immaculate and serviced, this is about finding those places that transcend the ordinary and escapes that expand the soul. Tailored to the curious, the lovers of adventure and the hungry for a little bit of luxury.

Rooted

We are rooted in our communities and are committed to giving back. No vague promises: we guarantee that a % of our commission earnings will be paid to two community projects that are close to our hearts. The funds are used to educate brilliant young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, as well as support a local animal rescue centre.

Real

We believe that too much choice can lead to paralysis, which is why we list only a handful of properties per area alongside suggested local experiences. Our focus is on giving you an exclusive collection of authentic, sophisticated and unique self-catering accommodation across South Africa.

Guest Reviews

  • Our stay at Sunbird Cottage was absolutely amazing!

    It was so peaceful and exactly what we needed to escape when everyday life becomes overwhelming. The views were breathtaking, and we were genuinely sad to leave. If you’re looking for a place to relax, recharge, and enjoy nature, I would highly recommend Sunbird Cottage!

  • We had a wonderful stay at Trinity Cabin

    The setting was peaceful and the unit beautifully kept making it the perfect escape for us from the busy city. The perfect balance between comfort and charm. We'd definitely like to return some day!

  • Thank you for the wonderful stay

    We had a wonderful stay over the long weekend at Salt Cottage. The farm honey and eggs was a special touch and the place had all the amenities one would need. Our little dog enjoyed the fauna and views as much as we did.

Add to that the hot tub, outdoor showers, and the abundance of wildlife roaming the farm, and you’re completely immersed in nature. I can wholeheartedly recommend this haven... Read this review
