Dirk
Now with solar to beat load-shedding blues - The ultimate spacious beach holiday home with family or friends. The house is serviced weekly by our live-in maid (and more frequent cleaning can be arranged at a cost). This beautiful beach lodge has everything you could possibly want or need to enjoy your dream holiday. It's a beachfront property with direct access to the beach and its own swimming pool, making it the perfect place to be active, swim, kite & windsurf or relax in the sun. There is also a pool table, ping-pong table, pizza oven and a private theatre room where you can watch movies or TV.
Proud to live in the beautiful city of Cape Town. I'm a keen surfer so I know my way around the waves in the area and try and get outdoors for a hike as often as possible. I also love the Cape Winelands and the excellent wines this area offers. As a 'day job', I'm a professional Internet Marketing & Development Consultant (business owner).
Riebeeckstrand is a suburb about 40 minutes' drive from central Cape Town. It's adjacent to Melkbosstrand where there are a number of restaurants and bars. This quiet neighbourhood is where our guests relax and enjoy the ocean and surroundings. Multiple golf courses within 30mins drive. Great surfing, kite surfing or windsurfing beaches on your doorstep. World-class wine estates are within less than an hour's drive or you can watch wild animals in West Coast National Park, also within an hour's drive.
