Stanfords Cove Villa
Stanford's Cove Villa is a luxurious, split-level Villa that is situated on the edge of an indigenous fynbos green-belt on the edge of a milkwood forest, just meters away from Stanford’s Cove. The Villa boasts two tastefully decorated self-catering levels, each with its own private entrance. Villa One has two bedrooms and sleeps four, while Villa Two has three bedrooms and sleeps six. A private pathway leads from the Villa to a safe swimming cove which is a short stroll away. Once you’ve had your fill of the beach, cool-off in the Villa’s cute, communal splash-pool, after which you can bask on your own private patio, where you can absorb a breathtakingly beautiful African-Atlantic sunset. Stanford’s Cove Villa is the perfect vantage point to watch Southern Right Whales in season. The Villa has a total capacity of 15 and is available individually, or together as a whole, making it perfect for families and groups of friends.
Thank you so much for your booking at Stanford's Cove Villa. We truly hope you will enjoy your stay with us. Please do make yourself at home, kick off you shoes, relax and enjoy the ocean view from the balcony. Should you need any additional assistance during your stay, please do not hesitate to contact me. I live 5min away from the property and my main office is about 7min drive, therefore I am just around the corner, should you need anything. Julia is the properties housekeeper, she is on premises from Monday to Friday between 9am to 3pm subjected to our bookings. Kind Regards
Xplorio is a dynamic town website platform that offers comprehensive business information about Gansbaai and neighboring Towns to ensure that all your needs and inquiries are met in one platform. On the website you will find the towns history, places to eat, list of activities and all our local businesses so that you wont miss a thing. . Cliff path walk: A scenic 7 km trail, meandering through rich coastal limestone fynbos from the Gansbaai harbour to Die Plaat, offers spectacular panoramic views. The Klipgat hiking trail fringes a popular tidal pool and picnic area, and the remarkable Duiwelsgat (Devil's hole), a steep cave burrowed deep into the ocean's belly. Watching the turbulent waves crashing against the rock walls deep down yonder is a mesmerizing sight. The sheltered Stanford's Bay, cocooned by Milkwood thickets and cliffs, is a popular and safe swimming area in the heart of De Kelders. A lush green lawn and ablution facilities provide a perfect picnic venue.
