Maretha Jacobs
This vacation home is a modern facility, fully equipped with everything that is needed. It also has an electrical power backup system that eliminates load shedding. It has a large balcony with a sea view. Day trips can be made to Knysna (scenic route by car). You can walk along the sandy beach. A beach walk from Brenton to Buffel's Bay is 9 kilometers return. And for the rest enjoy the beautiful view from the balcony of this vacation home.
I, Maretha Jacobs, am the property owner and your contact person. I will gladly answer all your questions. I live in Pretoria but there is also a contact person in Brenton-on-Sea who will provide the key of the house and who can assist when necessary.
Brenton-on-Sea is a quiet seaside holiday town not far from Knysna, with beautiful clean beaches. There are two restaurants with sea view 10 minutes' walk from your vacation home. These restaurants offer wi-fi free of charge for limited periods. Your groceries' shopping should preferably be done in Knysna as there is no supermarket in Brenton.
