Misty Hideaway beckons beach lovers, nature seekers and water sports enthusiasts.
Whether you need a quick injection of vitamin sea on a weekend getaway, or want to experience one of the top kite surfing spots, or a relaxing family beach holiday, Misty Hideaway offers sublime beachfront accommodation.
Waking up to sounds of waves rising and falling on the long stretch of pearly white sand, just beyond your bedroom, is one of life’s richest pleasures. To be pacified by the tide and the invigorating sea air that wafts through the windows. Carrying that salty scent of summer, or winter – whatever the weather – life by the ocean is always medicinal.
Rising with the dawn at Misty Hideaway will differ from one day to the next. Depending on the ocean’s mood, you’ll take in the morning’s golden rays, and even witness the wildlife enjoying the surf. Seals, some occasional dolphins, the odd whale and even an African penguin parade will waddle their way along the beach.
Walk along the beach and you’ll spot the surfers, boarders and paddlers making their morning moves as you take a quick dip to greet the day. Back at the beach hideaway a steamy rinse under the outdoor shower and a delicious coffee on the deck will set the tone for all that’s to come from this beautiful day, as you sit back and stare out into infinity.
A haven of peace and tranquillity
Accommodating as many as six, Misty Hideaway incites those long, languid days of rejuvenating coastal living. Its 1950’s Malibu beach chic inspired interiors add to the worldly tale of the home, with subtle nods to its contemporary tones.
Its open-plan living, dining, lounging and entertaining spaces allow for all of the light and the ever-changing landscape of the ocean to engulf the property.
Art and furnishings sourced from Zanzibar, Malawi and up the east coast of Africa adorn this unique holiday accommodation.
With the mountain trails behind the house, the beautiful beaches within reach, the beguiling surf towns of Kommetjie, Noordhoek and of course Scarborough being a stunning ocean drive away, you’ll have access to all of the activities that you and your clan are after.
