This large character thatched home is a heritage property built in Pinelands in 1935. Lovingly renovated,this gorgeous comfortable home is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing family holiday. The home accommodates up to 12 people in 6 bedrooms.

A double story house with original Oregon wooden floors and features is unique in that it sleeps 8 people upstairs and 4 people down stairs. The downstairs bedrooms are designed as self-catering suites, each having a well-equipped kitchenette and televisions with full satellite TV channels. The downstairs bedrooms enjoy views of the front garden and are quiet and peaceful. Take a break for an afternoon relaxation in the peace and quiet of these tranquil spaces. Both of these rooms lead into the house, one directly, the other is slightly more private with its entrance opposite the main house’s front door.

The modern well equipped kitchen is the heart of the home. Featuring a double oven, 5 burner gas hob and double fridge/freezer with water/ice dispenser and a TV. A separate scullery houses the dishwasher, washing machine and a second fridge for keeping your summer drinks ice cold. The kitchen flows through to the entertainment area, pool and pretty back garden. The covered entertainment area is large with comfortable seating that allows you to relax in the tranquil garden setting. To the side of the covered area we have a large tree under which you can relax with a book, enjoy a sundowner, or just listen to the birds.

There is a gas braai, Weber barbeque and a free standing braai for you to cook up a storm and a large outside table for eating alfresco under the shade of the tree. Enjoy a swim in our refreshing salt water pool or go inside into the cool of the house (thatched homes are famous for being cool in summer) kick back in the large family room and chill out watching a movie on our large flat screen TV. On a cooler night light our wood burning fireplace/stove and enjoy the relaxing atmosphere.

The second lounge is perfect for the kids to have a break from mum and dad and play a game of Wii or watch TV and movies. The house has WiFi throughout and the two main TV’s are Smart TV’s.
