Accommodating up to eight guests, the home features four beautifully furnished ensuite bedrooms with king- or queen-sized beds. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with a wood-burning fireplace flows onto expansive decks, making every space ideal for both summer sunsets and cozy winter evenings. The top-floor deck is the star of the home—perfect for morning coffee, writing, or sundowners as the sun melts into the ocean.

Outdoors, guests can enjoy a lap pool and sun deck, or take a two-minute stroll to the beach for an early morning dip. Off-street parking for three cars and a solar-power system ensure comfort and convenience throughout your stay.

Location

Situated on Beach Road in Scarborough, less than an hour from Cape Town’s city centre, The Shore House feels like a world away. Scarborough is a conservation village and the southernmost settlement on the Atlantic side of the Cape Peninsula. Backed by fynbos-covered mountains and bordered by Cape Point Nature Reserve, it’s one of South Africa’s most spectacular coastal settings.

Here, unspoiled nature is part of daily life: baboons and tortoises roam the hillsides, while whales, seals, and otters appear in the surf. Two stunning beaches lie at your doorstep—one dotted with mussel-flecked rock pools, the other a haven for swimmers and surfers alike. Nearby, Simon’s Town and its famous African penguin colony are just 20 minutes away, while Cape Point Reserve is a short 15-minute drive.

Scarborough also offers a bohemian, laid-back lifestyle, with a vibrant mix of artists, writers, surfers, and conservationists. A growing selection of cafés and restaurants add to its charm, but its greatest treasure remains its tranquility: untarred roads, starlit skies, and the soothing crash of the Atlantic.

Guest Access

Guests have exclusive use of the entire property, comfortably hosting up to eight people.
