This peaceful, holiday home is located in Langezandt Security Estate in Struisbaai. A place that welcomes those childlike ways of barefoot, fancy-free frolicking on the lawn, under the trees, through the gardens, along the wooden walkway to the beach. A place where the sentiment of happiness being best when shared, reigns true.
4 Gorgeous bedrooms – beautifully decorated with attention to detail were not spared, truly a home from home. The Fisherman’s style house is situated amongst similar properties with secure fencing that leans itself to safety and privacy. The look and feel of the property is cozy and family friendly with areas to choose from socializing indoors or outdoors. Functionally lay-out, ensures all can choose where they would like to spend their time. Adding an all important separate living room where kids can entertain themselves.
Every day there’s something different and exciting to explore in the area. And that’s the fun of it. When you’re not about the house and its myriad spaces, it’s onto the water to paddle, cycling, water- tackle the fishing and simply let Struisbaai be your canvas. When it’s time to leave Oppistoep House, there’s a side of you that will not join you on the journey home. It’ll wait patiently by the sea, with the waves crashing with Parrie the Stingray, until you return.
