Western Cape, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa

JOINT MANDATE

An outstanding north facing property with seven bedrooms and an extensive entertainment area, with glorious ocean views, built on the dune of Robberg Beach and adjacent to the iconic Robberg Peninsula. Comprising three levels, the high ceilings, soft earthy tones, and solid wood cabinetry combine to create a home with a modern yet classical ambience.

On the right of the entrance is a charming, enclosed room, ideal as a study or library, with solid wood built-in desk and shelving. An internal window brings in light and the ocean view. The open plan living area has a spacious lounge with stacking doors giving onto the outdoor entertainment area – and a spectacular, wide angle view of the Indian Ocean as the bay curves round to meet the craggy cliffs of the Robberg Peninsula close by.

The L shape of the living area creates a separation between lounge and dining spaces: the latter can easily seat ten people. A traditional dresser makes serving easy. The galley kitchen is also L shaped, neatly incorporating a scullery, walk-in pantry, wine cellar and coffee station. The five hob gas cooker with electric oven and hood is integrated with the caesarstone counters, as is the fridge/ freezer. Touches of white complement the wooden cabinetry.

There is an easy flow from lounge to covered verandah, where there is plenty of space for lounging and al fresco dining - made simple with the gas braai. A wood deck with integrated seating surrounds the pool: perfect to relax with friends and family, absorbing the ever changing moods and colours of the ocean. Access to the triple garage is along a passage to the right of the entrance and accommodates the laundry (with drying yard), storage space and Sun Sync inverter.

The passage also leads to two en suite bedrooms overlooking an inner courtyard; a third large en suite bedroom has a dressing room and sea view. Floors on this middle level are all tiled, as is the staircase taking us to the upper level, where a cosy sitting room leads to bedrooms on either side. On the right, double doors take us through to a large bedroom with wood floor, American shutters at the floor to ceiling windows, and a balcony with an elevated view of the magnificent seascape. A dressing room, full bathroom with large shower, twin vanities and free standing bath complete this lovely private suite.

On the left are two bedrooms – one of which has a balcony - both share a full bathroom. The lower level boasts a games room with a kitchenette, giving onto a sheltered garden. There is also an en suite guest room here.

Whale Rock Beach Estate is a small, private estate with direct access to the Wreck Beach – the southern end of the four kilometre, blue flag Robberg Beach, and adjacent to the Robberg Nature reserve.
It is a short drive to the vibrant town centre of Plettenberg Bay.
