The porch is just the right spot to enjoy a
glass of chilled wine at the end of a perfect
day whilst watching the westerly setting sun
dip over the Atlantic Ocean. Better still, why
not spoil your partner with a champagne breakfast and soak in the sunrise. And you
never know when you'll be rewarded with a
peak at the indigenous fauna.
Equipped for a couple, Country Cabin is let on a self-catering basis. Bring only your food and refreshments - and a smile - in return for which you'll experience utter peace and natural beauty - and be rewarded in turn with a smile!
Guests have the choice of pottering in
a well-equipped kitchen or stoking the
fire for a barbeque. Of course, local
restaurants are there for the testing and
offer a choice of seafood dishes (with
lobster in season). In the bedroom there
is a double bed and all linen is provided, including towels, but do bring your own
bathing towels to use at the pool, please.
* For the fun of it, bring your bikes and
   spend the morning pedalling the hills -
   so reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands
    or, for the more energetic, the area
   lends itself to hiking
* Only seven minutes away you can take
    your pick of some of the loveliest
   beaches the country has to offer
* The lighthouse in the Cape Columbine
   Nature Reserve is well worth a visit, as
   is the little rocky bay named Titties or
   Titus Bay from a coloured fisherman
   who had the mis- fortune to be
   drowned there. And while you're in the
   vicinity, maybe go out on a kayaking
   trip
* Shuck an oyster at the nearby
   mariculturefarm where you can learn
   more about these bi-valve molluscs
* In Sandy Point Harbour you can watch
   the deftness of the womenfolk as they
   vlek the snoek (barracuda family). Why
   not buy one to cook over the coals?
* Twenty minutes away is the combined
   municipality of Velddrif- Laaiplek
   where the Berg River spills out into St
   Helena Bay and is the ideal place to
   enjoy a sundowner cruise. Visit the
   many bak 'n brou tuisnywerhede that
   the town has to offer and stop at the
   West Coast Gallery for a tasty
   lunchtime snack

   Or there's the ultimate option: to chill
    out and stay cool at the pool!
