KwaThula Whitewashed Seaside Cottage

 

 

 

 

Our family's white-washed seaside escape just 100m from the beach with great sea views. Dog-friendly and kid-friendly by arrangement, with a chest full of board games, it has a cook's kitchen and 3 wood-burning fireplaces. An airy split-level cottage with skylights overhead and a free-standing wood-burning fireplace on the upper level, with extensive sea and coastal views including the Cape Columbine nature reserve and its lighthouse. Designed by noted architect, Jaco Visser, and built with thick plaster walls and characterful chimneys in the architectural vernacular of traditional Cape West Coast fishermen's cottages, the top level is open plan with lounge, kitchen and dining area flowing together and opening onto two sea-view porches with banks of aluminium and glass doors that fold out and away beneath split-board pitched ceilings with exposed trusses. The larger porch has a braai and small seating area great for sundowners and stargazing. The lower level has traditional reed-thatched ceilings and two en-suite bedrooms with expansive walk-in showers. Each bedroom has its own free-standing wood burning fireplace. Double French doors open from each bedroom onto a small courtyard with seating in the shade. A path leads from the cottage through the indigenous garden to a private gate leading toward the beach. With the tight-sealing aluminium windows, skylights and doors and the wood-burning fireplaces, the cottage is fantastic any season and in any weather.
