It’s holiday time again!
Time to head to the beach for some fun in the sun…
With school holidays upon us and Easter looming large, there’s no better place to escape to than Kommetjie in South Africa’s Western Cape and the beautiful Long Beach – kilometres of soft white sand stretching as far as the eye can see! What are you waiting for? Grab your cozzie, your family, the dog and hit the road!
Beach bliss cures all. That’s a fact. No matter how stressed, strained, exhausted and just plain done with every day life you are, the feel of soft sand between your toes, the smell of the ocean and sun on your skin are the combined panacea for all ills. So where better to spend a few glorious days unwinding than in a luxurious house on the beach?
Enter Fin Whale Beach House in the lovely seaside village of Kommetjie, just half an hour’s drive from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town, South Africa’s Mother City. Framed by the legendary shape of Chapman’s Peak and the mountains of the Cape Peninsula, this is where the south Atlantic goes into mesmerising relaxation mode, with the sound of its waves breaking on the shores of the immaculate Long Beach guaranteed to banish anxiety in a jiffy.
There’s little to beat the ability to roll out of bed whenever you want and step straight onto powder-soft white sand for a casual stroll along one of the most picturesque beaches in South Africa. That’s what Fin Whale Beach House offers you – the chance to live a beach lifestyle, even if only for a few precious days. It’s barefoot luxury at its finest!
With four beautiful en-suite bedrooms, the house is big enough to host groups of family and friends but small enough to create an intimate, relaxed atmosphere all of its own, especially when a roaring log fire is lit in the spacious fireplace on a chilly evening and the meat on the braai is sizzling… This is where you gather to just enjoy life, forgetting all about work, school, the madness of the world and all of the irritations that life throws at you on a daily basis.
At Fin Whale Beach House you just get to “be” for a few days, living in the moment, enjoying the great outdoors and the wonderful healing power of nature on your doorstep while decompressing and re-evaluating your priorities. That’s the magic of the beach – it just clears the cobwebs in your mind, dusts off your soul and gets your body nice and rested and ready for anything!
Fun is a given when you’re staying in such a wonderful beach setting. And Kommetjie itself is renowned for the variety of things to see and do and places to visit, as well as activities to indulge in. Whether it’s learning to surf, boogie boarding or snorkelling the local kelp forests or hiking in the mountains, kayaking and indulging in wine tasting and sampling fresh seafood, you’ll never get bored in Kommetjie.
Kommetjie also has a rich history dating back to the turn of the 1900s and is well known for its wonderful indigenous fynbos and rich coastal environment. There are interesting shipwrecks to explore on Long Beach and a walk to Slangkop lighthouse is a must.
So if you’re thinking of somewhere to go over the holiday period where you can rediscover “you” and have amazing fun with your loved ones, think no more – Fin Whale Beach House is the answer! Get in touch with us to book an amazing beach holiday!
