On the Beach

Home in the seaside village of Melkbosstrand, this quaint accommodation is right on the beach and well-acquainted neighbours with the reaping waves of the Atlantic Ocean that allows for hours of beach strolling, surfing and remarkable sunsets. We have our own water supply and also an Ozone therapy room at a fee, should you like to spoil yourself! Free Wifi and full Dstv. Safe on-site parking with beam protection.

A mere 35 kilometres out of Cape Town, the accommodation offers two guests or a couple a relaxing retreat. The unit is well equipped with facilities that will make you stay all that more comfortable and the quiet surrounding area will set a peaceful ambiance. Though the unit is part of the main house, it hosts a separate entrance and a private parking area.

The house is literally on the beachfront and enjoys panoramic sea views of Robben Island, Table Mountain and her surrounding bay. The Old Skip Caravan Park is right opposite the On the Beach accommodation, and if the beach does not suit, their refreshing pool is available.

    "I would highly recommend a stay at On the Beach. The location is absolutely beautiful with the beach right in the back yard! The cosy cottage has everything you'll need for a very comfortable stay. Enough coffee and tea were even provided for our stay. The host was amazing and accommodating. Despite the homeowner being away, she still contacted me to make sure everything was okay. I was also very impressed by how safe and secure the place was. It is truly a lovely place for a perfect getaway at an affordable price. Thank you so much Una for making our holiday great!"

  • "Stay at "On The Beach""

    01 January 2014

    "Our stay at On the Beach was very pleasant. It is a self catering flatlet consisting of a clean and neat kitchen / lounge area, bedroom with a double bed and a bathroom. The unit has all the essential items needed and is very comfortable. It has a flat screen TV with dstv and the position of the unit is the highlight. It is right on the beach and a quieter section of the beach too (which is ideal during peak season). The owner is also most helpful and friendly."

  • "Lovely, quiet, private, great value for money"

    17 August 2013

    "I stayed here for one night after I attended a function in Melkbos. The owners phoned me during the evening to inquire whether I was all right, and offered to come and collect me after midnight. The cottage is neat and clean. There's an extra blanket for cold winter evenings, with fresh towels laid out on the bed. I jumped straight into bed and found a little chocolate hidden under my pillow - what a nice touch! Thanks Una and Hennie, you'll see me again."
