Do
you want to spoil yourself & your partner? If so look
no further.... At last, a guest house with a difference!On
arrival a welcoming sherry & a huge log fire in the
lounge. Each bedroom has its own romantic fourposter king
sized bed draped with a silk mosquito net and of course
a log fire place. Each bedroom also has its own bathroom
with old-fashioned ball & claw bath and lots of candles!
After
settling in, why not pop into one of the many overstuffed
couches in front of the fire for liqueurs & a good
book.
A
lovely protected cove on the South Western shore of St.
Helena Bay - one of the only three natural bays on the
mainland coastlines of the world where one can see both
sunset and sunrise over the sea - with wonderful views
of the Piketberg mountains (often snow covered in winter).
Though only 150 km from the Cape Peninsula, St.Helena
Bay has a milder and warmer climate providing ideal conditions
for your stay.
Even
Vasco dea Gama, the Portuguese explore/sailor who visited
these fair shores in 1497, realised the peace of this
quiet haven, as do calving whales who come from August
to years end and also large schools of dolphins - often
seen leaping and chasing close by.
Well
situated for day visits to the West Coast National Park,
Cape Columbine Nature Reserve and the quaint fishing village
of Paternoster. Or join a tour of the internationally
renowned palaeontological diggings at the nearby Fossil
Park.
A
Birdwatcher's paradise, with more than 200 species, Visit
the hides at Rocher Pan, The Berg River Estuary and saltpans
of Velddrif, as well as the golf club in Vredenberg.
A
Botonists dream, with free springflower veld displays
every year. Or visit the annual Darling and Hopefield
flower shows.
Stroll
the white sands and cool off in the safe waters of the
bay, the ideal place for watersports. Explore the seafood
route or dive the many wrecks. And at the end of a perfect
day, raise your glass to a spectacular sunset and the
promise of yet another breathtaking day.
An
ideal rest stop for weary travellers during the week.
