The Island, Sedgefield, Western Cape 6573
A light and airy double-storey home where every detail tells a story. The open-plan living area — with its surfboard light fitting and kiteboard bar overhead — leads directly out to the pool and braai, making indoor-outdoor living effortless. Upstairs, the A-frame ceilings give the bedrooms a charming, treehouse-like quality.
The pool and new jungle gym (with slide) sit in the fully enclosed garden, in clear view from the main living area and kitchen — so parents can keep an eye on the children without missing a moment of the holiday.
On the ground floor, the self-contained flatlet has its own private entrance, kitchenette, and en-suite bathroom — a perfect arrangement for families travelling with grandparents, or anyone who prefers a bit of independence.
Bring your kayak or hire one locally. The Swartvlei Lagoon is safe, scenic, and alive with birdlife. Fish Eagles circle overhead most mornings.
Cloud Nine Paragliding is 2 km away. One of SA's most spectacular launch sites, with views across the lakes and the Indian Ocean.
A 4 km beach walk to the iconic lion-shaped sandstone headland. Rock pools, seals, dolphins, and whale watching in season. Check the tides first.
Five beaches within easy reach. Wilderness (15 km), Knysna (23 min). Cola Beach is a local favourite for a quieter swim. Sedgefield is also a prime kitesurfing destination — the lagoon and beach conditions draw kiters from across the country.
