What makes this property special?

What makes this property so special

The property is beautifully and purposefully integrated with the Afromontane vegetation. Guests enjoy the tranquillity and temporary relief from the summer sun in a cape fynbos garden at the back of the property. For starry nights there is a magnificent “boma” (the safari term for round fire-pit) constructed from Table Mountain sandstone.

There is a great deal of interest in Scarborough and surrounding neighbourhoods. Majestic scenery, Cape Point Nature Reserve, a perfect, uncrowded white sand beach that is Scarborough; hiking, swimming, biking, surfing, horse back riding ….. all within a small, laid back suburb.

Multi-level, contemporary, minimalist design, 5 bedroom home (max. capacity 10 persons).

Dramatic cliffs drop off into the Atlantic Ocean as you approach the seaside conservation village of Scarborough. Nestled against stunning mountains with breathtaking views, this streamlined haven is what every surf shack wants to be when it grows up.

The space

Designed specifically for relaxation in light, open living areas and clever breakaway spaces.

The upper level contains the master bedroom (king bed); en-suite bathroom. A set of stack doors open onto a private deck. The entire space is aligned with a spectacular view of the Atlantic ocean and reserve.

The mid-level is surrounded by open decking with ocean views. There are two bedrooms (queen beds) that share one bathroom; a large “open plan” space containing the kitchen; dining, and living areas. Folding / stack doors lead on to a large deck with recliners looking due west to the ocean. On the south side are stack doors that open onto a deck with a table for breakfast or lunch options. On the north side is a specatular rim flow pool with views of the ocean. To the east the deck leads to a indegenous garden with a boma and fire pit; and an outdoor shower.

The lower level contains two bedrooms, with two single beds in each; a small kitchen and living area and one bathroom. The space opens on to a large deck with a speciatular view of the ocean and Cape Point Nature Reserve. There is a gorgeous and uber comfortable daybed for afternoon naps or a sundowner.

The property manages a comprehensive alarm system and round the clock security services are available. The pool is equipped with a child safety cover. There are deck railings.

On occasion, a troop of baboons visit the coastal towns and suburbs of this part of the Cape Peninsula. The troop is monitored all year round by a dedicated team. The animals have been known to rummage through garbage, climb on roof tops and make a nuisance (depending on whose point of view!) for a temporary period of time. More information is available from your host.

Scarborough is remarkable on so many levels!! A truly good bunch of people live and play here. There are extensive mountain walks accessible from foot paths just up the street. The beaches are sublime with excellent surf breaks and a favourite kite-boarding spot when wind permits. The Village Hub is a perfect one-stop-shop just 2 minutes walk from the house. It has a gorgeous restaurant with excellent food and views for early evening sundowners. It houses a coffee shop; a deli with freshly made meals for those on the run; Cape Point Bakery breads and Franz’s micro-brewery. You will hear languages spoken from all around the world on a daily basis. It buzzes! The Camel Rock right next door does fish braais, burger nights, a Tuesday night market, live music and a beer garden. A total win! Then there’s the Whole Earth Café which is only open during the day – best breakfasts ever! If you take a walk to the end of Scarborough beach you’ll hit the Cape Point Reserve game fence – sometimes you will get to watch the Bontebok up close, or ostriches and sometimes even zebra. Two Cape Leopards have recently been released into the reserve – they haven’t been spotted yet, but we’re keeping a look out for them.

Nearby

The uber popular neighbourhoods / coastal towns of Noordhoek, Kalkbay, Kommetjie and Simonstown have so much to offer. More uncrowded white sand beaches, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding: fine dining to laid back restaurants to farmer’s markets; an abundance of kid’s activities; epic surf, and the headquarters of the Cape Penguin …. This is the land of My Octopus Teacher!

Getting around

You can get anywhere in the village on foot, and within just a few minutes. You definitely need a vehicle for getting further afield. Public transport is not a strong point in Scarborough, but you can
