The estate is located within 10 minutes of beautiful sandy beaches and bush reserves, has a swimming pool, spa pool and infrared sauna. There is plenty of room to relax & enjoy the property, while also providing plenty of opportunities for activities & exploring the area. The Estate accommodation includes both The Homestead as well as The Cottage. These are side by side looking onto a joint courtyard & swimming pool. They are warm & welcoming, spacious and elegantly appointed, and beautifully furnished in keeping with the style of the property. The 2 separate houses are self contained, providing plenty of options, and can also be hired separately. The Homestead is the larger of the houses, and is very well set up for large groups. At the heart of the house is a large open plan kitchen, with butlers pantry, a dining table & living area around a wood burner. Through this room is the formal dining room, and beside that a huge formal living room, with lovely comfortable sofas & an open fire. The living areas in this house are very large, with plenty of room for all the guests. The Homestead has 6 ensuite bedrooms, all very large and all open onto a generous verandah that surrounds the entire homestead. All are beautifully styled, and very warm & cosy. Four of these bedrooms have super king beds which can be split, providing lots of flexibility regarding configuration. The 7th bedroom in the house is a snug, off the kitchen living area, with a single bed. This bed can be moved to make a triple in one of the other bedrooms if preferred. The Cottage is a separate self contained building, and includes a lovely kitchen & living room, with a wood burner. It has 2 bedrooms, both with ensuites. One has a queen bed, and the second has a super-king bed which can be split. There are plenty of private spaces with the property, and the homestead lends itself well three-generation family gatherings or the celebration of special occasions with friends. It is also ideal for corporate groups as many of the beds can be split. The Cape South Estate includes a magnesium-salt swimming pool, a spa pool, a gym, and an infrared sauna, all which you are welcome to use. There is also a yoga studio on site, which can also be set up as a meeting or board room. You are welcome to make full use of all the facilities. Catering can also be arranged. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub - Outdoor pool - Private pool - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation -
