Property information

This waterfront home is located on the banks of the lagoon, the perfect place to kickback and relax. Breathtaking views from its elevated position, across the lagoon and the mountains, the many windows allow light to easily flow throughout the residence whilst a versatile neutral colour palette creates a calming atmosphere. Located on an ecology estate, with vineyards, a winery, restaurant, tasting room, adventure golf for the kids this location has it all. Unfortunately, South Africa does have load shedding due to electricity shortages, so there may be power outages during your stay, we do not have a generator or battery back up in the villa, although there are emergency lights in the property.
