Beulah & Alex Stauch
'The Little Round House' is a super cozy thatch roof bungalow situated in a small secure thatched village. Enjoy the stunning sea views and easy beach access to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. The gardens offer an abundance of trees and birdlife. A communal pool and tennis court are on the premises. Scuba diving, golf, surfing, shark cage diving, abseiling and mountain biking are all within reach from this off-the-beaten-track village of Mtwalume. Recently renovated to an open plan unique experience, with copper basins and a pebble shower floor, it is a comfortable getaway house. This quaint cozy space has a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine. The unit offers a relaxed lounge with a 'double bed sleeper couch' and a semi private bedroom. Ideal for 2 people with an option for 2 extra. We recommend that guests bring their own beach towels. Relax under the shady tree in a hammock or enjoy eating outside next to the fire place. The village with its charming thatch roofs is nestled in the valley, overlooking the sea and the village of Mtwalume. Access the beach via a pedestrian pathway or by car.
We love to welcome our guests to 'The Little Round House'. This unique unit is the product of our passion for creating beautiful and comfortable spaces. Sharing it with our guests is our pleasure. We live on the same property for most of the year.
