Holiday rentals with lake access in Africa

This beautiful, historic home was everything we hoped it would be and more. Millie was very friendly and helpful. We all wished we could have stayed longer.

The perfect place for all those seeking peace and relaxation. The small village is simply magical, the view of the sea is a dream and the apartment is traditionally but stylishly furnished. In addition, compared to other AirBNBs, everything was thought of, there are, for example, kitchen roll, dishwasher tabs and finally two dish towels.

Such wonderful, generous hosts! I booked last minute and they were so communicative and even stocked the fridge full of treats which were all delicious. Thank you for the warmth and kindness!

Xairu is absolutely stunning. The home is immaculate, and the view and scenery is amazing. Lots of wonderful birdlife too. Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend away. Thank you!

An absolute treasure surrounded by pristine nature on your doorstep. The home is tastefully furnished, extremely comfortable with an exceptionally well-equipped kitchen, a ceiling to floor bookcase filled with wonder and excitement and the wraparound porch allows sun worshippers or shade seekers opportunity to spend every moment outside. The beds are super comfy, and each room showcases the astounding view. Unwind, relax and soak up the serenity.... the only challenge is that you'll not want to leave.

10/10. Absolutely awesome location, wonderful units with lots of additional amenities and activities included (pool, bicycles, SUP boards, veggie garden, laundry, etc.), and an incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful team. We couldn’t recommend this more, and will be back as much as possible!

Lovely cottage, in a beautiful location. Pictures don't do justice. Check in was easy with a tour. Absolutely recommend to anybody wanting to stay in the area.

the house is like an art gallery so artistic & neat it is .. everything you need you will find ready for you to use .. loved it 🥰

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely Airbnb! From the moment we walked in, it felt like home. The electric blankets and wall heater were a huge bonus, keeping us nice and toasty during our stay. The room itself was a perfect blend of charm and coziness. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would definitely recommend it to others. Thanks to the host for creating such a warm and welcoming space!

It was a wonderful place and the location was extremely convenient. Abdellah was very kind, helpful, and charming. Great experience overall - highly recommend!

It is our second time staying here and we most definitely come back again. Centrally located with the most beautiful views over the lagoon. Surrounded by restaurants and shops but apartment is private and quiet at night. Kitchen is well equipped with all necessary to cook any meal. Extras like purified water and cookies. Open plan lounge and dining area. Netflix and You Tube available. Lovely bedroom with lots of cupboards. Bathroom with shower and bath. We can recommend this accommodation if you love nature and also like to be centrally located.

Amazing stay! View from the apartment was awesome… surrounded by lots of things to do and places to eat. Beautiful place, would definitely recommend!

We absolutely adored Sherif's place, it felt so rustic and warm. The lighting was absolutely amazing and bright, it made the place feel warm and inviting. We really felt at home. The ambiance was lovely and we felt spoiled. The beds were so comfy with fresh clean linen. The shower had great water flow. The location itself was quiet and not overwhelming which is great in comparison in Egypt. We felt safe and were warmly invited by Sherifs friend. check in and check out were smooth. We loved the recommendations from Sherif also, was a lovely touch. Many lovely cafes within couple of min walking.

Lovely scenic apartment with a lovely walkable garden. We had a nice getaway stay here and enjoyed it very much. The balcony doesn't face the garden, which was the only slight disappointment, but that was minor --we still enjoyed sitting comfortably outside in the afternoon. M'hammed's place was very clean and well furnished.

The place is very nice and clean, the host is kind and patient, will always come back to the same spot. The location is great, secure compound, near the waterfront.

This is an awesome little place located within a wine estate! We felt so cozy and the view from the balcony was just beautiful. We even spotted some springbok while enjoying the coffee and rusks left for us. Julie was so friendly and accommodating. Thank you and we will be back!

Lovely, charismatic cottage with a great garden. The wharthogs greeting is during breakfast at the porch and the Calabas monkeys in the trees, and the fireplace were highlights. The bed is big, which is great. Frankly was lovely.

Absolutely loved our stay which was unfortunately for 1 night only. The property was beautiful and cottage incredibly cozy for our group. Look forward to coming back again and staying longer!

What an absolute privilege this past month has been. The cottage has everything you could possibly need—and then some. The views are even more breathtaking in person than they appear in the photos, and the hosts went above and beyond to ensure every detail of our stay was perfect. It truly felt like home. Definitely one of our all-time favorite Airbnbs.

Amazing place, book more days if you can! It has an outstanding charm and the place will make you feel cozy within the minute you arrive!

Extremely well maintained, all amenities were in great condition. Very tranquil considering proximity. Comfy beds and the cleaning service was a great help. We will definitely recommend this place and also be back

Beautiful and peaceful cottage, perfect for getting out of the city! Loved the swimming dam too. Will definitely be back!

This place is simply a piece of paradise. You will know what I mean when you go through the gate. It’s even more beautiful than I expected. The nature, sweet sounds of the birds, swimming in the river… Thank you Akosua for creating such a magical place and open it for visitors.

It is a beautiful private place. I loved the peace that came with the place. I enjoyed my stay.
