The house has a fantastic view, located on the famous coastal road (R44) and close to the village of Gordon’s Bay.

“A hidden gem”
Breathtaking views and ambience.Total peace next to the undulating waves and rocks.Refreshing swims in the tidal pool.Braais overlooking the wide expanse of the ocean.All really fed our souls...sunsets were spectacular. Curling up on the comfy sofas with a treat of good literature was amazing. A five star getaway with invigorating walks next to the sea.Not to be missed!!!

“The best holiday home and experience ever.”
I honestly can't begin to describe how amazing this place was! The location is peaceful and secluded while still being convenient and close to the town. The restaurant next door is great. The view is exceptional. The house had every comfort and amenity. I was traveling with three generations: myself, a teenage girl and two elderly parents. The house had everything to make each of them comfortable and happy. They really thought of everything. One particularly pleasant surprise was that my mum was having trouble sitting on the beach and I thought I would have to rent a chair. We found camping chairs in the home! Tea, coffee, sugar, milk, water, biscuits and even toothpicks at hand! The furniture and decor is comfortable and stylish. The place was clean and spacious. Beautiful kitchen and fireplace. The co-hosts Oscar and Kerri were wonderful, they were always responsive and communicative and ensured all our special needs were met.

“Amazing!”
This is such a beautiful place! It’s calming, peaceful and has all the facilities you need. I love that it’s solar because there’s no loadshedding. It’s a walk away from the beach and you get to watch the sunset even from your bedroom. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely come back
