About this property

Sea Cottage - House - spectacular sea views

Sea Cottage (House) is a luxurious self catering holiday home on the mountain slope above Fish Hoek beach sleeping four in two bedrooms. The beach and sea views are spectacular with mountains in the background.

Sea Cottage is a fully renovated historical thatched house with thick stone walls and Oregon Pine floors.

The patio is enormous and is ideal for entertaining friends while enjoying the views.

It has a modern kitchen with new appliances including washing machine and dish washer.

The house is accessed from Hillside Road above, but there is also a private staircase down to the Simonstown Main Road below, for easy walking access to the beach.

The house is ideal for a seaside holiday and is within easy walking distance of the beach, shops, restaurants and transport systems.

There is excellent, safe swimming at Fish Hoek beach, plenty of options for walking and hikers may explore the Elsiespeak mountain above the house.

Others may prefer to relax on the patio, watching the activities on the beach and in the sea below. Whales are regular visitors to the bay, and there are usually plenty of sailing boats, kayaks and fishing boats about.

During summer months the local "trek" fishermen may be seen catching yellowtail in their nets from the beach.

The house may also be linked (through double doors) to an adjacent self catering apartment for larger groups. Details of this apartment are listed on the following link: https://www.homeaway.co.uk/p8423643?uni_id=4481306

A perfect view
This house is suited perfectly for an amazing view. It was clean and comfortable. The hosts were kind and welcoming. The town of Fish Hoek is an easy walk and the beach is so perfectly close for walks. We walked to the neighboring town also several times.

Wunderbarer Aufenthalt
Wir haben 2 wunderschöne Wochen verlebt und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Blick von der Terrasse zum Meer ist wunderschön und war beim Frühstück ein perfekter Start in den Tag. Auch der Strand ist sehr schön. Am Abend Ist das Restaurant The Galley, direkt am Strand, sehr zu empfehlen. Ansonsten gibt es in der Umgebung viel zu erkunden und auch Kapstadt ist ja nicht weit. Wer es etwas ruhiger mag, dem dürfte der Nachbarort Kalk Bay gefallen. Alles in allem sehr erholsam.

What a view and beach!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Sea Cottage; the place is very roomy and the view and beach are great. The town itself can't compete with the stores or restaurants of Kalk Bay or Simon's Town, but they are closeby. We had a rental car during our stay, which made visiting the nearby towns and Table Mountain National Park convenient.

A great place to explore Capetown from.
The week stay at this cottage was not without its drawbacks. it was well equipped and the view Fabulous. Anyone with mobility problems would find this property a challenge. Loadshedding was another frustrating experience. Mark and Sarah were attentive hosts.

Toller Aufenthalt am Meer
Wir haben 5 Nächte im Sea Cottage übernachtet. Es ist eine tolle Unterkunft mit 2 Schlafzimmern, 2 Duschbädern, einem Wohnzimmer und einer tollen Terrasse mit Meerblick. Zu Fuß ist man in 3-4 Minuten am Strand, in der Stadt gibt es einige Einkaufsläden und Cafés und auch zu den Nachbarorten ist es nicht weit. Perfekt, um die südliche Kap-Halbinsel zu erkunden und überall maximal 30-40 Minuten mit dem Auto zu benötigen.

We absolutely loved this place and would go back in a heartbeat! The check in process does have quite a few steps, and then there quite a few literal steps to get to the house, but once you are there it is so beautiful and comfortable! Had all of the amenities we could ask for.

This place is just stunning! We needed a base for the end of a busy trip and it was exactly what we needed. The views are beautiful and the location is perfect. The cottage has everything you would need for a comfortable stay, with two bright, clean bedrooms overlooking the sea. Mark and Sarah were really friendly and helpful and we would love to stay again!

Heerlijke vakantie gehad
Het huis is prachtig. Met een uitzicht op de baai. Je bent echt in 5 minuten op het strand en in het dorp. Er zijn genoeg winkels voor de dagelijkse inkoop en ook genoeg restaurants waar je uit kunt kiezen. In 45 Minuten autorit ben je in Kaapstad centrum. Mark en Sarah zijn gastvriendelijk en hebben ons goed ontvangen.
