About This Property
“Set in a 1500sqm fenced off garden, the veranda overlooks a tropical paradise with large indigenous trees and a huge variety of flowers, ferns and interesting plants. The chilli bushes growing in the garden produce delicious edible chillies guests are welcome to use. It is claimed that this garden hosts one of the largest and oldest cycads in Kwazulu Natal. It is an ideal place to let your dogs roam while you spend a relaxing day at the beach.
The charming, albeit basic, house has three bedrooms, a master-en-suite with a queen bed and on the opposite side two bedrooms with a double bed and a king-size bed each. These bedrooms share the other bathroom, which also has a bathtub. A spacious lounge and dining room provide ample area for relaxation and there is a desk provided for those that cannot quite leave their responsibilities behind. The crowning feature of this lovely old cottage is a magnificent farm-house kitchen equipped with everything required to satisfy most cooks. While there is no dishwasher, an automatic washing machine, iron and board are available for getting laundry done. Enjoy the lovely sea-views from the veranda while watching and listening to abundant bird life from the garden. Whales can sometimes be seen frolicking in the ocean with views stretching to the horizon. Then cool off in the sparkling pool sipping sundowners while the coals on the braai are getting ready for a sizzling steak.
The property now has installed an inverter with Solar backup. It is a 5kVA inverter and will run the lights, TV and pump, however not the appliances in the kitchen, apart from the fridge / freezer. Since there is a gas stove, in the event of load shedding guests can boil water in the provided stove top kettle, but the electric kettle and washing machine are not connected to the inverter.
The little village of Palm Beach, named after the Ilala Palm (hyphaene critina), a species indigenous to sub-tropical Southern Africa and used by rural communities for centuries - the leaves for woven rooftops, baskets and mats and the sap for liquor - lies on the extreme southern coast of KwaZulu Natal, about 12 kilometres north of Port Edward.
