Luxurious Living Spaces

Spread across three expansive levels, the villa boasts six spacious, luxury en-suite bedrooms: two on the first floor, three on the ground floor, and a separate guest cottage next to the main building. All suites are uniquely decorated, recently renovated, and feature their own spacious en-suite bathroom and private veranda. Four rooms also include an additional outdoor shower.

The gourmet kitchen, lounge, and dining area are laid out in an open-plan design, ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors flood the interiors with natural light, while an expansive, sun-soaked entertainment and pool area offers a private sanctuary for al fresco dining and quiet repose. Additional amenities include a separate cigar lounge, a fully equipped compact chef’s kitchen, a separate laundry and scullery, and a gymnasium.

Impeccable Design and Natural Beauty

The interiors are thoughtfully curated throughout with dramatic tones and textures, high-end finishes, and an elegant palette that reflects the surrounding landscape. Every room is individually designed and furnished to maximize light, space, and views, all offering unobstructed sea views and literally endless sea and mountain vistas on the horizon.

From the garden and deck, seasonal sightings of whales, dolphins, seals, orcas, and various bird species add to the villa’s allure. The estate is also home to resident zebras, eland, and springboks, who roam freely.

Embrace the Coastal Lifestyle

Embrace the coastal lifestyle with direct access from your home to a safe, private beach, just a two-minute stroll away. Spend your days lounging on the beach or by the pool, exploring nearby rock pools and an unspoiled coastline, or cycling along scenic coastal and nature trails. Indoors, enjoy fireside gatherings, culinary moments in the gourmet kitchen, or unwind in the luxurious bedrooms, lounge, and expansive deck, all designed for both comfort and connection.

This is more than a beach villa—it’s your private sanctuary on the Whale Coast, where nature, design, and serenity meet within a secure fynbos estate.

Additional Features

The villa also features three garages, with one currently converted into a gymnasium. Depending on the weather, a fully self-sufficient and off-the-grid solar system ensures load-shedding-free living. The system has 4 x 5kW batteries and 2 x 12kW inverters (SunSynk) and 27 solar panels. The property uses borehole water, supplied by the estate, for its garden and to keep a 5,000-liter water tank on the property filled.
