About Onrus Accommodation
For more than 20 years we've been the friendly, local link between travellers who crave a restorative seaside escape and homeowners who want their properties cared for as lovingly as they would themselves.
Who We Are
Locally rooted, family-run
Based in Onrus River on the scenic Whale Coast, our small team lives and surfs where we work, giving us unmatched insider knowledge of the coastline from Vermont through Hermanus and Voëlklip.
People-first by design
Our business grew out of a simple passion for welcoming guests and forging lasting relationships with owners. Personal phone calls, thoughtful touches and rapid responses are the hallmarks of the service our repeat visitors rave about.
What We Do
For Guests
Hand-picked homes
From airy beach cottages overlooking the Atlantic to fynbos-framed family villas, every listing is vetted for comfort, character and proximity to the area's best whale-watching, surfing and coastal trails.
Personal Support During Your Stay
I’ll be available throughout your visit to help with any issues, answer questions, and share advice to make your stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
For Owners

Ideal for owners who live abroad, we handle everything—marketing, dynamic pricing, guest screening, maintenance and monthly reporting.
