An ideal getaway home! Perfect for big groups or large families. It is very spacious but yet has a very home-like coziness to it. It is less than 100m from the beach and the beach itself is wonderful. Stunning views from all around the house. Awesome furniture and has 3 braai facilities. Fully equipped kitchen, wifi, DSTV, all things you would want in your dream holiday home, this house has it. Would highly recommend this house for anytime of the year to go on holiday or even just a weekend getaway. 10/10 from me! ##### Simon L. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ---
