Eclectic Beach House 👙
Eclectic Beach House – The Whale’s Tale
This utterly charming seaside home boasts prime sea views over the pristine Indian Ocean. A five minute walk to the magnificent warm Doonside beach with rock pools and a tidal pool to enjoy. Doonside is a suburb of Amanzimtoti in Kwa-Zulu Natal.
The house is a single level home with a large veranda to enjoy the sunrises over the ocean every morning or to entertain and sip sundowners whilst the family enjoys full satellite/DSTV. The home is unpretentious yet stylish and very comfortable.
The kitchen is the heart of the home and is the place where the family will gather around for meals and board games. It is fully equipped, and the gas cooker is the pride of the room. There is a separate scullery and laundry room with washing machine and dryer for your convenience.
There are three bedrooms each with Queen sized beds. There are two bathrooms, one with a slipper bath, toilet and shower and the second with a shower and toilet.
Children’s play area, pool with fitted pool net.
Parking for at least four cars behind secure automated gates is available. Unfortunately no CATS due to the abundance of bird life that are feed daily.
Housekeeping services are available upon request on a Monday, Wednesday and/or Friday.
Pet friendly upon request. Free Wi-Fi. Aircons in two of the three bedrooms.
Enjoy your stay at The Whale’s Tale – Let your story begin!
Amenities Include
Braai, Microwave, onsite parking, pets allowed (with prior permission), private entrance, private pool, tea & coffee making facilities, television, tumble dryer and washing machine.
Things to do:-
Swimming, fishing, surfing, canoeing and horse riding on the beach can be arranged on request. There is a tidal pool and swimming beach with lifeguards in attendance 500 metres away. Be sure order a caramel sandwich from Baggies Takeaway after your swim in the sea.
