The Space:

Welcome to Beach Haven, your coastal family vacation home in Murdoch Valley, just outside of Simon's Town.



This stylish three-bedroom home is split over two levels, offering flexibility for families or friends. Upstairs, you’ll find the main bedroom with a full en-suite bathroom and stunning ocean views. Downstairs are two additional bedrooms and a second bathroom with a shower and toilet.



The open-plan lounge and dining area look out over False Bay, with a breakfast nook pass-through wall connecting the kitchen. Perfect for chatting while you cook or for passing snacks straight to the table. The kitchen includes all the essentials: a dishwasher, washing machine, coffee pod machine, oven, and stove.



There are two entertainment zones to suit your mood. Just off the kitchen, the front patio features wrap-around seating and a covered area for any weather. The back entertainment area faces the pool, garden and ocean: a private, peaceful spot to soak up the view or take a dip in the beach-style pool below.



Filled with natural light, the house also includes a small work nook for those who need to catch up on emails, a TV (smart-enabled), and a cosy anthracite fireplace for winter evenings.



Located just a five-minute walk from Boulders Beach and Windmill Beach, Beach Haven offers the best of coastal living: comfort, convenience, and endless ocean charm, that is family friendly.

⚠️ Please Note



- Our home is set on the edge of a beautiful wildlife reserve, so you may occasionally spot some of the local visitors, including baboons who wander down from the mountain. They’re curious, not dangerous, and will happily move along if left undisturbed. We’re fortunate to have a fantastic baboon ranger team who walks with them and guides them back up the mountain. For your comfort, we simply recommend keeping doors and windows closed when you’re not in the room or house, and avoiding interaction with them.



- Quiet neighbourhood: no loud music after 10pm (weekends) / 9pm (weeknights).



- Pool shows some cosmetic wear but is fully maintained and clean. please do not change the pool timer.
