Perks for the Parents

This breezy beach house in Plettenberg Bay, South Africa has a heated pool, stunning ocean views and a playground in the backyard. It sleeps 6. This vacation home is the perfect place to relax and recharge - kids will be entertained in the garden or the pool, and parents can sample local wines while they keep watch. It’s just minutes away from miles of sandy beaches, whale-watching spots or wildlife parks, so it’s perfect for families who love the outdoors.

Why Kids Love it

This is a great vacation home for young children, with the amazing house-style bunk beds, Melissa and Doug toys, jungle gym and heated pool. Hosts provide children’s dinnerware, stair gates and fireplace guards too. They’ll love exploring the large garden as well as the nearby blue flag sandy beaches (less than 10 minutes’ drive) and there’s plenty to see and do in the local area: It’s half an hour to the Birds of Eden free-flight sanctuary, 20 minutes to Kynsna Elephant Park, and 5 minutes to Plettenberg Bay, where you’ll find whale watching, sea kayaking, and Wild Waters fun park.

The solar heated pool can be fitted with a security enclosure on request. The residence is located within a secure estate.

The hosts also have a second home available for rent in the area, which can be booked together or separately: see The Alexander Manor House for details.

The Saturday morning market is 10 minutes from the house where fresh produce and crafts can be enjoyed. There is a bike track and a Italian pizzeria and ice cream store 5 minutes from the house as well. Take a day trip inland to one of the vineyards along the world-famous Garden Route or visit the Monkeyland primate sanctuary (around 30 minutes’ drive).

Style Notes

Beach house. This light and neutral vacation home is perfect for the coastal setting. It has white-washed woods, lots of light flooding in from floor-to-ceiling windows, and dashes of blue tones to complement the oceanic views. Guests will feel right at home with the luxurious Lithuanian linens and organic gauze bedding. We love the contemporary concrete outdoor fireplace, the hotel-inspired walk-in shower, and the stunning sea-view setting of the dining table.

Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

Monkeys, dolphins, whales and birds

Six hours’ drive east of Cape Town on the Garden Route, it has outstanding beaches nearby and spectacular wildlife reserves to delight all the family. Take ocean safaris to see dolphins and whales; walk across the wooden suspension bridge at Birds of Eden, the world’s largest aviary, and see how many birds you can spot, or visit the Elephant Sanctuary for the chance to brush or even ride elephants. Plettenberg Game Reserve offers horseback safaris and Monkeyland is the largest reserve of its type in the world. Animal lovers will be in heaven.
