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.
