Shell Cottage - accommodation in Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa

Click thumbnail to enlarge

One of Camps Bay’s original homes, Shell Cottage has been totally revamped into a stylish four bedroom holiday house whilst still retaining its simple, beach-style character.

From the moment you come in through the front gate, and into the large shaded garden, you feel as though you have entered a haven. The property is very different from many of the ultra-modern steel, glass and concrete homes on the Atlantic Seaboard, and it offers a lovely sense of space and peace.

Shell Cottage is exceptionally secluded and secure, set well back from the street in a lush garden dominated by a spreading Lilac tree and surrounded by views of the Twelve Apostles and Lions Head mountains.

The property is large and airy and it enjoys a wonderful flow from outside to inside. The lounge opens up onto the generous patio and pool deck, which overlooks the garden. Each of the bedrooms is generous and all open either onto the garden or onto flower filled courtyards. Each of the en-suite bathrooms has its own unique theme, with an emphasis on nature - sand textures, pebbles, mother-of-pearl, driftwood.

Yet despite its beach cottage feel this home is equipped to the highest standards and it offers the international traveller all that he or she might want in a self catering property, including wireless internet access and satellite television.

Perhaps the best thing about Shell Cottage is its incredible location. Camps Bay beach is very close; literally one or two minutes stroll from the front door, yet the property is situated behind all the “buzz” on The Drive which is a quiet residential road, so despite the proximity to the action, Shell Cottage does not suffer from any of the noise.

The local tennis courts and play park are across the road, and within a few minutes walk you have access to in excess of 25 restaurants, a number of bars, a library, shops, and all the other amenities that Camps Bay offers.

Shell Cottage is a holiday house that appeals to all ages. Its single level and enclosed garden suits families with young children or the elderly but its stylish design and great location, just behind the trendy sunset strip and the beach’s great surf break, make it a dream holiday location for a group of friends.

Treat yourself to a wonderful stay at this beautiful beach cottage, in Camps Bay’s favourite beach suburb of Camps Bay.
