    Holidays are better with the dog. These are South African stays where 'pet-friendly' actually means something — fenced gardens, a water bowl waiting on the stoep, hosts who don't sigh when they meet a Labrador, and walks that start at the front door.

    Mostly farm cottages, country guesthouses and self-catering homes; a few bush lodges where the resident dogs already run the show.

    Frequently asked

    Are there any restrictions?

    Each property sets its own rules — number of dogs, size, indoors vs. outdoors only. The lodge page lists the specifics; if anything is unclear we'll confirm with the host before you book.

    Is there a pet fee?

    Sometimes — usually a small cleaning surcharge of R150–R400 per stay. Where applicable it's shown at checkout, never sprung on arrival.
