Meet Your Hosts
We love to have others enjoy this incredible beachfront property. Guests love sitting on our lookout benches to admire the ocean views. They often comment on how much they enjoy having our two dogs, Rastus and Maggie, sit quietly with them, who also seem to be taken in by the view. Everyone loves the direct access to the beach from the garden.
As for the admin, Lloyd takes care of the finances, and Jez handles guest inquiries, bookings, and requests. We enjoy meeting new people and aim to make guests feel welcome and relaxed. We’re always available to assist while respecting your privacy.
Our location is ideal, with the beach at your doorstep, shops nearby, and plenty of places to explore.
We have compiled a list of top beach walks, restaurants, and other excursions, which we will WhatsApp to you on the day you arrive.

What Our Guests Have To say

A large and beautiful apartment overlooking the ocean and direct access to the beach. Lorraine is a gracious hostess and was always concerned for our well-being.

It is a wonderful accommodation with fantastic sea views and direct access to the beach. If you are lucky, you can see whales and dolphins from the beach 🤩 Absolutely recommended. Thank you very much, Lorraine!

Beautiful and classy place with a fairytale view. The place is just as beautiful as pictures seen. Very neat and spacious place. Having a braai on the balcony was magical with the lovely sea and garden view. Will definitely book again, if you looking for a classy and peaceful place with beautiful views then Lorraines place is the place for you.

Lorraine was a friendly and caring host, and I would gladly recommend her place, we really enjoyed our stay there and would definitely return.

A lovely place right at the beach! Everything was as described and the host was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay a lot, would definitely come back!
