As tranquil as its name suggests, Sand Piper guesthouse is decorated in soothing, beachy shades. Windows and sliding doors are picture frames for nature, highlighting spectacular views of the beach, sea and indigenous garden. The main house has one bedroom downstairs and three upstairs, as well as a self-contained cottage above the garage. Three of the bathrooms feature bathtubs, and two of the upstairs bedrooms spoil guests with both garden and sea views.

It’s special because: You can soak up superb sunset views from the cosy bar on the landing. Sand Piper also provides the most direct access to the beach, and sits happily in dappled sunlight for most of the day. 

Take Tour

It’s the perfect accommodation with a pool for an extended family holiday, flaunting a bohemian style that effortlessly matches barefoot beach playtime. There are generous areas for social get-togethers complemented by corners for quiet time, as well as an outside boma well protected from the wind. The two bedrooms upstairs offer gorgeous views of the beach, while downstairs one has an ocean view whilst two bedrooms spill onto the garden. Each bathroom has a mix of bath, shower or both.

It’s special because: Room 5 has views that can’t be beaten and you can lie in the bathtub while gazing out at Seal Point Lighthouse. Room 1 is great for a little romance with a 4-poster bed, epic seascapes and its own separate entrance.

If you need plenty of outdoor space then this luxury beach house is for you, with arguably the largest garden in the Cape St Francis Resort’s Beach Break villa selection. Fish Eagle consists of a main house with four bedrooms as well as a self-contained one bedroom cottage with balcony.  While upstairs panoramic sea views steal the show, downstairs is dominated by a large deck, immaculate kitchen, and outdoor bar area. Room 1 has a freestanding bathtub. All the other bathrooms feature showers.

It’s special because: Fish Eagle feels like a group celebration where kids can swim and play safely in the large garden while adults mingle on the sunny upper deck. Family and friend time at its laid-back best. There’s also a lovely little deck off the downstairs bedroom, sheltered by indigenous vegetation.

These twin beach houses bring contemporary style to a seaside holiday, where modern and light is offset by moody feature walls and antique-styled fireplaces. Both luxury villas have four bedrooms split equally between upstairs and downstairs, each with a deck or balcony. The houses take full advantage of having sand dunes virtually on their doorsteps, and there’s a natural flow between indoor and outdoor living. You’ll love the sheltered outdoor areas with easy access to the kitchen through wide sliding windows. Bathrooms have a mix of bath, shower or both.

They’re special because: Look for the outside ladder and clamber up to the roof. We’re willing to bet you’ve never experienced viewing decks quite like these. Don’t forget your camera or phone to snap some epic beach holiday shots.

Just as sure as the moon sways the tides, this enchanting beach house will entice you with its incredible sea views. It’s the latest addition to the Beach Break Villa collection and projects its own beachy zen vibe, with three bedrooms and pyjama lounge upstairs and an open plan living, dining and bar area on the ground floor. A fourth downstairs bedroom has quick access to the pool deck and sun loungers. All the bathrooms but one are fitted with both a bath and shower.

It’s special because: It’s the youngest child in the Beach Break bunch, waiting for your luxury beach holiday memories to mould its character. But that’s not all folks, just wait until you’re unwinding on the outside loungers while watching the waves from the garden.
