Tamarind is a lovely beach-front villa on the edge of False Bay, with its warm waters and sheltered 5km white sandy beach. Enjoy beautiful views and stunning sunsets overlooking the Cape of Good Hope.

The house is situated on a large private estate, which lies at the edge of the sea which forms its southern boundary offering spectacular views of False Bay and beyond. Its backdrop are the beautiful Helderberg Mountains on the western side and the Hottentots Holland Range on the east lending panoramic views of ever-changing mountains.

Our home is airy, spacious, and is beautifully and very nicely furnished with everything you will need for a comfortable stay – a true home from home. It sleeps four people comfortably (and up to six people), with two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one en-suite) and a terrace with a loggia that looks across the sea to the Cape of Good Hope. There is a large, open-plan kitchen, living and dining area.

All bed linen, duvets, pillows and towels are provided, although you will need to bring your own beach towels. The house will be cleaned at the end of your stay but we can also arrange for cleaning during your stay too, if required, at extra cost.

The lovely master bedroom, decorated in calm neutral colours, with beautiful pictures on the walls, can either have a super-kingsize double bed, or twin beds. There is plenty of wardrobe space, and windows overlook the courtyard to the rear of the house. The lovely, recently renovated, en-suite bathroom has a large bath, toilet and separate power shower. The stylish wash basin is on a dark, wenge-wood stand.

The twin bedroom has generous wardrobes, an antique bedside cabinet, and charming decor. The separate shower room is just across the corridor and is very similar in style to the en-suite bathroom.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a large fridge/freezer, Bosch dishwasher, microwave, oven and hob, plenty of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans – far better than most homes, let alone holiday homes! There is also plenty of picnic-ware for some al fresco dining or the Kirstenbosch picnic concerts. The kitchen has a handy breakfast bar for informal meals.

For more formal dining the stylish, glass dining table seats six in comfort on elegant wrought iron, cushioned chairs, bathed in natural light from a sky-light above.

The sitting area has two sofas and an chair, and looks out onto the garden and sea. There is a small television (no DSTV) and a mini hi-fi. The bookshelves offer a variety of reading, from novels to guides on the local area, bird and sea life and South Africa in general. There are a number of board games for your amusement.

Outside is a patio and private, lawned garden overlooking the sea and the Cape beyond. There is a covered parking area next to the house, and to the rear of the property is a communal swimming pool and gardens, with a braai/barbecue by the pool, which makes an idea spot for dinner.

There is a communal laundry (washers and dryers), which is always quiet, near the parking area.
