Great holiday
We had a great holiday in Cape Patterson. The location of the house is very close to the beach and walking trails. The house itself was spacious and comfortable. The outdoor seating areas were a bonus and the garden was lovely and grea for our dog.

Sea Esta our second home
The home is located in a very convenient position close to both the Cape Paterson bay and surf beaches. We enjoy our walks along the shores of both beaches and along the coastal cliff tops paths. The home is like a second home and is well maintained, tastefully decorated, plenty of sunlight with all that is necessary for an enjoyable holiday.

We love this property
We have been going to the Cape each Christmas for approximately 10 years and this has to be one of the best properties we have stayed at. Excellent layout and location. Pet friendly so our dogs could come too. The property has everything you need and even provides some items in the pantry and laundry. We stayed for 5 weeks and wish we could have stayed for longer. A well maintained, well presented property that is very family friendly.

Love Sea Esta
Our favourite place to stay over the summer holidays with friends and family. Such a relaxing home with all the amenities you need enough room for two families. Relaxing out on front pirch and even more relaxing out the back under the pergola eatching the kids run around the back lawn. Close to the beach, tavern and corner store. See you next year summer Sea Esta 🌊🌞
