Set in the vibrant conservation village of Scarborough, this gorgeous three bedroom beach house, a few paces from the beach, is the ideal getaway spot to recharge. Soak up the ocean setting then step through the wooden gate into the Zen-like courtyard of Egret Place. Relax and exhale as you slip off your shoes at the front entrance and feel the welcome coolness of the floorboards beneath your feet. Your spirits lift as this spacious, airy home draws you in to its barefoot luxury lifestyle.

Living

The open plan spaces flow effortlessly from indoors to outdoors with large windows that slide open to reveal sea and mountain views. Appreciate the quirky objects d'art and the beach-style luxury of the furnishings. This home is fully equipped with everything you would need for a superb holiday.

After a morning in the waves, stroll back to your favourite spot on one of the comfy loungers on the deck, while the kids burn off energy in the plunge pool or on the trampoline (* the trampoline springs are exposed, the edging is no longer available). When the afternoon sun reaches its peak, retreat to the cool interior and share a summer feast, complemented by a glass of chilled Cape white. Soak up idyllic Scarborough beach and rock pools, grab a board and catch a wave, then end off with a delicious seafood dish at one of the 3 local restaurants. You'll want to bottle the scent of the salty air to take home, along with the precious memories you've made.
