Self-catering on the water in Port Owen
The Waterfront sits on the water's edge of Port Owen Marina, about 90 minutes' drive from Cape Town. The house is yours alone: open-plan living and dining rooms facing the water, a fully equipped kitchen, and an indoor-outdoor braai room with both gas and wood fires.
On the patio there's a plunge pool, a braai area and a gas-fired pizza oven. Every room is air-conditioned, and the house runs on solar power with a UPS, so load shedding will never interrupt your stay.
Bring a boat if you have one. There's a lock-up garage and secure parking, and a jetty for your boat can be arranged.
Pets are welcome by arrangement.
