The Lookout - dream, hide, explore!
Calling all explorers, dreamers and creatives! Come for a quick retreat or stay to write that book. The lookout was built by owner Rob himself over ten years. There is thought and love behind every little detail. The house isn't perfect, there is raw wood, some things aren't finished, the furniture is vintage and may appear worn but if you look past that, you will find that everything there has its own story and that this house is made for the big things: sunrises, ocean dreaming and full-moons

Glencairn Beach Bungalo
Reconnect with nature at this unforgettable escape. Surf and swim at this safe beach or snorkel in the African Kelp forest below the surface. Hike the iconic Elsie's Peak with its incredibly diverse flora and of course the stunning views of False Bay. In winter you can hear the Southern Right whales breathe on a still night or watch in awe as they breach playfully once the calving season is over. A stay at the Glencairn Beach Bungalo will revive your connection to the natural world. Soulfood.

Spectacular sea views in quaint Kalk Bay
The sea views from our airbnb suite (2 bedrooms and a lounge) are fabulous. Behind us is the mountain reserve and in front lies the wide expanse of False Bay. Down below on the rocks is a natural tidal pool, safe for swimming. We are close to Kalk Bay fishing harbour, the quaint Kalk Bay village, several other tidal pools (perfect for cold swimmers!) and Fishhoek & Muizenberg beaches. We have newly renovated and enlarged our Airbnb space which is now separate from our living space and private.
