    Everything, beautiful home with a huge yard, our German Shepherd pup loved running up and down outside. Canoes available for your use is an added plus. Lovely view of the canal from the bedroom balconies.

Property info

A lovely, huge and recently renovated Thatch House on the canals in St Francis Bay. The house is a short walking distance to the beach or a short ride down the canals by boat or on the Kayak's provided at no charge. It's a big spacious house as you'd expect of a house that sleeps 16 people comfortably in 8 bedrooms with 6 rooms with private en-suite bathrooms. You get the whole house even if you book for 4 people. The St Francis Golf Course is no more than 1.5km away. Two shopping centres within 2km have everything from Groceries, a Bakery, Butchery, Liquor store, Restaurants, Coffee shops, Bars and a Pizza take-away, Doctor, Dentist, Pharmacy and Vet. Port St Francis is only 5km away with more stunning restaurants with fresh fish and calamari caught that day.
