Cape Town Accommodation

Beach House at Clifton: Christine's Beach Cottage Cape Town, Western Cape Vacation Rental by Owner Listing 69110

Location: Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa, Africa (Clifton Beach, 5 Miles from Cape Town City Center)

Accommodations:  Suite, 2 Bedrooms + Other (See Description), 1.5+ Baths (Sleeps 4)

Self-catering, 2-bedroom garden suite with 2 bathrooms (1 en suite); open-plan kitchen and lounge; glass sliding doors and a private patio - overlooking Clifton 4th beach - voted one of the Top ten beaches by Discovery Travel channel.

Nestled in the amphitheatre of Table Mountain, sheltered from the summer wind, Christine’s Beach Cottage is in a heritage area, which means it maintains its atmosphere of a quiet seaside retreat.

It's hard to believe that the centre of a major cosmopolitan city is just minutes away from this secluded and quiet setting with its much sought after views.

Natural timbers, sandstone walls, white linen, glass, open-plan rooms and an expanse of light and blue sky - Christine’s beach cottage has been lovingly designed and built by the owners who have optimised the views and enhanced the beauty of the surroundings.

The cottage is one of an elite community of beach houses in Clifton, just 2 kilometres from Camps Bay but without the commercialisation and exposure to the south easterly winds.

The garden suite sleeps 4 comfortably in 2 bedrooms (one double, one twin) from February to November. In December and January the entire house is available for rent. This gives you access to the upper level of the house as well, offering another double bedroom with en suite bathroom, another kitchen, lounge and large patio area.

A flight of secluded steps takes you to the beach and the cottage is conveniently set down from the road, allowing you to carry luggage from the car easily and giving complete protection from any noise.

Come and experience our legendary sunsets, evening sundowners, languorous breakfasts on our sheltered patio overlooking the sea in our enviable Mediterranean climate.

Christine's Beach Cottage is set amongst leafy indigenous vegetation and fruit trees, and has beautiful views of yachts in the bay through shady trees with a panorama from the sea up to the summit of Lion's Head Mountain behind. Access to the beach is down a shady flight of steps to the sand and with a privacy that sets it apart from the crowds.

The building is north-facing to capture the winter sun, and is sited above the light mist that lingers on the beach on some evenings. Being near to the road makes it convenient for carrying luggage and shopping, yet it is protected from traffic noise.

For people who have difficulty with stairs, please note that although it is one of the most accessible houses in the area there are nevertheless some stairs to negotiate. Please enquire further if you have any doubts.
