Property info

Our property is uniquely decorated showcasing as many local artists at possible. Each room has a different theme and art work from a particular artist is displayed in each room according to the theme. Our rooms are large and airy and our staff make you feel right at home from the very start. Our swimming pool is a dream when the temperatures reach up to 30 degrees in summer! We are a short walk away from the village where you will find a host of different great restaurants and where you can book water adventure activities - whale watching, shark diving, snorkelling, kayaking, waterbiking, SUP boarding, pelagic trips and deep sea fishing to name a few. Love shopping? We have great antique shops, clothing shops and a very good craft shop that showcases many of our best crafters products. We are a 20 minute drive from the beautiful Cape Point reserve and a very short walk to the famous Boulders Penguin Beach. Just want to relax? Look no further. Curl up on our couch on the veranda and take in the tranquillity of our space. We let this property as self catering from the 16th December - 3rd January. Why no come and visit us soon?
