THE SANDCASTLE

Sandcastle sleeps a maximum of 8 guests in 4 luxury bedrooms. The ultimate luxury getaway that allows you to enjoy the best of Eastern Cape holidays.

Aptly described as ‘African Adobe,’ the interior of the villa has been influenced by a myriad of cultures throughout Africa and South America. Thoughtfully-selected artifacts, tapestries and locally-crafted artworks hang on the property’s undulating walls, while the sunken fireside conversation pit speaks of a bygone time. The 250 hectre land surrounding the villa is a wildlife conservancy, teaming with zebra, giraffe, sable and antelope indigenous to the area. The reserve is also home to smaller mammals, such as the Cape Yellow mongoose, civet and genet.

LIVING

As Sandcastle is on the seaboard, it is not uncommon to have windy day's however the courtyard provides excellent relief from the wind and the solar heated pool means that you still get to enjoy the day to its fullest. On windy days, a walk through the reserve’s bushveld can be enjoyed as there are many sheltered spots and tree lined paths.

With an open plan theatre kitchen that is fully equipped and stocked with all your cooking basics, a sunken lounge, a 270 degree lounge and two solar heated pools, Sandcastle is the ideal spot to relax and unwind.
