The Pool Room

A glass-walled plunge pool on the top floor, sliding doors open straight onto the balcony — so a lap before breakfast comes with the whole sweep of dune, harbour and bay laid out below. Guests only, no exceptions.

Sleeps ten across five bedrooms — enough for two families to spread out without sharing a wall.

The Kitchen

The Catch

Fully equipped for whoever's cooking — gas stove, oven, dishwasher, all of it — though most evenings end up at the braai instead. When nobody feels like cooking, the harbour is under three kilometres down the hill, fish market and all.

  • Fully equipped self-catering kitchen — gas stove, oven, dishwasher
  • Braai facilities on the patio
  • Harbour restaurants and fish market, under 3km away

The Setting

The Bay

St Helena Bay is a working harbour before it is anything else — crayfish boats out before dawn, a cold current that keeps the water sharp instead of tropical, fynbos running right down to the rock. The villa sits up in Harbour Lights, on the hill above it all, with the harbour itself under three kilometres down the road.
