EXCLUSIVELY PRESENTED BY HARCOURTS
Perfectly positioned on the St Francis Bay golf course, this warm and welcoming home offers a wonderful blend of old-school charm and thoughtful practicality. Well loved over the years, it provides a solid foundation for gentle modernisation while remaining entirely comfortable as is.
The main residence features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a guest toilet. The main en-suite enjoys its own private balcony, adding elevated views across the fairway and creating a peaceful retreat within the home.
The kitchen, fitted with granite tops, flows into the dining area to create an easy, open-plan space that leads out onto a sunny patio. From here, you can take in serene golf course views as well as enjoy direct access to the enclosed courtyard — a sheltered, private space complete with its own built-in braai, perfect for relaxed outdoor living and entertaining.
The garden offers a direct access gate onto the course, further enhancing the feeling of openness and connection to the outdoors.
A versatile highlight of the property is the converted garage, currently used as a games room or bar, which opens onto the courtyard. From this area, a short staircase leads to a generously sized en-suite bedroom. This flexible space works beautifully as a teen pad, private guest suite, or extended-family accommodation, and could also be developed into a separate flatlet with its own entrance for income-generating potential.
Set on a large plot, the home offers room to expand or tailor the spaces to suit your vision. Its location is exceptional — just a three-minute drive to the main beach, shops, and village centre, yet quietly positioned along the fairway in a tranquil pocket of St Francis Bay.
A lovely opportunity to secure a home with character, versatility, and an enviable golf course setting.
ST FRANCIS BAY - Discover the Coastal Charm of St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis
Nestled along the stunning Sunshine Coast of South Africa’s Eastern Cape, St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis are coastal jewels celebrated for their natural beauty, relaxed lifestyle, and world-class property offerings.
With its pristine white beaches, scenic canals, iconic lighthouse, and vibrant community, the region offers a lifestyle that effortlessly blends laid-back coastal living with outdoor adventure.
Named in 1575 by a Portuguese sailor in honour of St. Francis, the Patron Saint of Sailors, the area has a rich maritime heritage. In 1954, sugar magnate Leighton Hulett transformed the landscape by developing the St. Francis Bay Canals—a unique man-made waterway system connecting the Kromme River to the Indian Ocean.
Today, these tranquil canals are home to some of South Africa’s most desirable real estate, offering luxury living with panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, and indigenous flora.
The area is made up of three distinct sections:
The Bay – Known for its canals, white-walled homes with thatched roofs, and relaxed coastal vibe.
The Port (Port St. Francis) – A working harbour and residential enclave offering private beaches, a marina, and stunning sea views.
The Cape (Cape St. Francis) – Home to the historic Cape St. Francis Lighthouse, built in 1878, and known for its windswept beaches and excellent surf.
St. Francis Bay and Cape St. Francis became internationally renowned in 1969 with the release of the legendary surf film The Endless Summer, which showcased the region’s perfect waves.
Today, it's still a mecca for surfers, but offers so much more:
Water sports: Windsurfing, kitesurfing, kayaking, and deep-sea fishing
Land adventures: Horseback riding on the beach, mountain biking, and scenic hikes
Wildlife: Dolphins, whales, and over 200 bird species delight nature lovers year-round
Nature reserves: Explore indigenous fynbos and fauna in the Irma Booysen Flora Reserve and other protected areas
River cruises: Enjoy peaceful boat trips along the picturesque Kromme River
For golf enthusiasts, the region offers two prestigious golf courses, including The St. Francis Links, ranked among South Africa’s top 10, offering a world-class challenge amid breathtaking coastal scenery.
Beyond its natural attractions, St. Francis Bay offers a warm and vibrant community.
From canal-side dining at the Big-Time Taverna to local favourites like Chokka Block, 22 Eatery, The Quays Restaurant and The Brewery, the town is rich in culinary experiences. Quaint shops, art galleries, and friendly locals add to the village-like charm.
Port St. Francis, a gem within the bay, offers an exclusive lifestyle where residents enjoy private beaches, waterfront properties, and serene ocean views. Life here moves to the rhythm of the tide, with yachts bobbing in the marina and sunsets lighting up the harbour—a daily reminder of just how special this place is.
St Francis Bay is ideally located - just 90 minutes from Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) – gateway to the Garden Route and major airport access and 35 km from Jeffreys Bay – another iconic surf destination with a laid-back, family-friendly atmosphere, shopping, and entertainment.
