Away from the crowds right on the beach

Our little piece of heaven right on the beach with 180 degrees sea view, surrounded by beautiful nature. Away from the crowds yet only 15 minutes from the nearest village, St Francis Bay, with all amenities. We are privileged to be one of only six families with holiday houses along a stretch of this beautiful rocky coast. Lat 34:11:47S, Lon 24:47:27E. You will turn off the main road between St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis and take about 7km slower bumpy farm road down to the sea. There are two security gates with remote control along the farm road. The original family cottage which has now been renovated, has been in the family for more than 100 years and is next door.

Rock pools at low tide provide hours of fun for the kids. There is a small sandy beach in front of house. Long white sandy beaches for swimming and surfing are available at world renowned surfing spots in Jeffreys Bay (35 minutes away) and Cape St Francis (15 minutes away).

Walk, run or cycle along the coast to the lighthouse, about 5km away and have breakfast/lunch/coffee at Nevermind restaurant at Seal Point Lighthouse. More serious hikers can try the beautiful Chokka Trail which passes in front of our house.
