With three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, and the living areas downstairs, the house provides everything you need for the perfect getaway. Care has been taken to provide a mutlitude of sitting areas suitable for work or play, with views of the garden or the ocean. 7 Pepper St is beachfront accommodation perfection.

This simply self-catering beach accommodation puts you only 50m from the world famous Supertubes beach and surf spot. The used-to-be backpackers, originally known as Surfpackers, is now the laid back accommodation that feels like a home away from home. It offers seven basic twin, double and family en-suite rooms that are serviced daily. An open plan kitchen, lounge and entertainment area (featuring a pool table and indoor braai) is shared by the rooms in the house.

Some properties promise you'll feel at one with nature – this one actually delivers by hoisting you up into the canopy itself. Constructed entirely within the embrace of towering indigenous trees, this luxury tented camp offers five canvas suites that quite literally give you a bird's-eye-view of the world below. The elevated walkways connecting each pavilion make you feel rather like you're navigating some wonderfully sophisticated treehouse village, whilst the active waterhole visible from the main deck provides endless entertainment courtesy of the local wildlife. It's particularly beloved by serious birders who come hoping to spot the rather splendid Knysna Turaco - an emerald-green beauty that's notoriously camera-shy but absolutely worth the wait.

Perched within the wilds of the Lalibela Wildlife Reserve, this five-star retreat proves that sometimes the best view in the house belongs to the hippos. Built from local stone and thatch, the lodge sits beside a bustling waterhole that serves as nature's own theatre. Elephants lumber down for their evening tipple whilst you sip yours at the cocktail bar, and the hippos provide a rather unconventional but thoroughly entertaining soundtrack to dinner. The interiors strike that delicate balance between safari nostalgia and contemporary comfort - think carved wooden sculptures alongside plush sofas that invite you to sink in and stay awhile.

A family cottage sits detached from the Riverhouse on the other side of the lawn, which also has a bathroom.

Perched majestically atop a rugged hillside in the eastern reaches of the reserve, this stone-and-thatch retreat commands views that stretch endlessly across rolling valleys and pristine bushveld. With accommodation for 20 guests spread across 10 private villas, there's enough space for everyone to find their own perfect viewing spot, whether that's on a private deck or gathered around one of the lodge's three inviting fireplaces. The all-natural indigenous garden setting means you're quite literally surrounded by the very flora that defines this corner of Africa, whilst the elevated position provides front-row seats to nature's daily drama unfolding in the valleys below.
