Beach Haven cottage is ideally situated on the beach; looking out towards the horizon, unfettered by any distractions that may impede your relaxing escape from the hustle-and-bustle of the city. Settle in to a charming home that invites you to stretch out, slow down and take in the world in all its glory.
This is a family home with memories from way back when. We love the relaxed haven this place has been for us and our children and would like you to share in that pleasure.
Britannia Bay is a hidden away treasure of the South African West Coast. It is a place of natural beauty and serene living. Azure sky kisses an ocean of Mediterranean blue, as lines of perfect waves roll in with turquoise splendour.
