## About this property

### Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

### Ballots Bay Treehouse

Ballots Treehouse is a unique beach home set in milkwood trees, perched  
 above a protected pebble beach and the Meul river mouth. With a minimum  
 stay of 3 nights, this haven is for nature lovers. This unique wooden  
 cabin is private and secluded, yet surprisingly close to all modern  
 amenities. Find yourself totally immersed in nature, while being in  
 the comfort of a private and romantic beach house.  
  
 It's hard to imagine a more natural and serene setting than this  
 self-catering gem, which sleeps up to 4 adults and 2 children. Ballots  
 Bay is situated in a private nature reserve, home to a wide range of  
 animals, birds, indigenous forests, and fynbos. After reaching the top  
 of a 67-step wooden stairway leading up to the Ballots Treehouse, you  
 will find three cosy, tastefully decorated bedrooms on the lower level.  
 The main bedroom boasts a queen size bed, an en-suite bathroom, and a  
 lavish corner bathtub. The second bedroom has a double bed, and the  
 third bedroom is a small room with bunk beds, ideal for two children.  
 Upstairs is a third bathroom, dining area, and fully-equipped kitchen,  
 and an open-plan lounge that spills out onto a generous deck. Watch  
 NetFlix movies while lounging on the comfortable leather couch in front  
 of the fireplace on a winter's evening. Dine on the upper deck shaded  
 by a large parasol, or relax over sunset cocktails and prepare a braai  
 in the Weber while soaking up the uninterrupted views over the beach  
 and river mouth.  
  
 Ballots Bay offers numerous walks and hikes that are truly spectacular.  
 This includes a lovely stroll through the Magic Forest where you may  
 stop for a picnic or braai in the shade. Additionally, you can cool  
 yourself in the remote rock pools which are accessible via rocky cliff  
 paths. Two beach BBQs located a stone's throw from the house are  
 reserved for guests and Ballots Bay residents only. The pebble beach is  
 the perfect place to spend the afternoon and for enthusiastic fishermen  
 to try their luck, without the crowds. Victoria Bay, the world-class  
 swimming and surfing beach is located only 1km to the east.  
  
Excessive noise is not permitted.   
The property may have a maximum of 4 adults and 2 children. If more are found to be staying, the full deposit will be taken.   
Baboons are a nuisance, and therefore all windows/doors need to be closed when the property is vacated. If they do enter while vacated, a portion of the breakage deposit will be taken.  
For security and safety purposes, guests are required to provide full names, identification, details of any children travelling, vehicle registrations, and estimated arrival times prior to check-in. This information will be treated confidentially, and failure to submit it on time may result in delayed or denied check-in.  
All our properties are strictly non-smoking, and tenants accept full liability for all minors and visitors. Pets, parties, and events are not permitted.  
For stays of 8 nights or more, a complimentary mid-stay clean, including fresh linen, will be provided. Additional cleaning services can be arranged upon request with a minimum of 24 hours' notice and will incur an extra charge.  
A standard key and breakage deposit is payable before check-in. This amount depends on the standard of the establishment and may be changed at the owner’s/management’s discretion.  
Please be advised that, to promote a sustainable and comfortable experience for all our guests, electricity usage is governed by a fair use policy that permits a reasonable amount of daily consumption. In the rare event of unusually high usage, a reimbursement may be requested.   
  
Host Agents will arrange a check-in time with guests to meet at the property, which is situated at 5 Beach Road, Ballots Bay

#### Helmut H.

Liked: Check-in, communication

Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy

Die Unterkunft ist sehr heruntergekommen und wurde in den letzten Jahren offensichtlich nicht gepflegt. Die Handtücher, die Bettwäsche und die Möbel waren dreckig und in sehr schlechtem Zustand.Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis stimmte überhaupt nicht. Wir raten von einer Buchung ab.
