This is your home away from home. A very cozy and exclusive cottage by the sea with breathtaking unobstructed views of both the sea and the estuary. You can walk through the beautiful property straight onto the swimming beach. Casino, water park, hiking trails spa and many coffee shops and restaurants close by. If you are a golf lover there are many golf courses in the area. Bird watchers are also in for a treat. There is a 5000 Litre water tank for back up water supply.
This is a privately owned villa. We would like you to feel very welcome in our villa and we are confident that you will have a pleasurable stay. Please treat it with respect as you would your own home.
The Wild Coast Sun and Casino are nearby. The Wild Coast Sun, San Lameer and Southbroom golf courses are all close by. You can go on a guided tour of ancient fossils on the beach nearby. There are many lovely restaurants in the area.
