the Xhosa word "ungabona" means "the place where you can see". See the beauty of the world around you from an inspiring location. A house that celebrates endless views of the ocean, beach, rock, bush and even the stars at a night spent on the roof terrace followed by a sunrise on the sea. Ungabona´s unique architecture merges breathtaking views with modern open plan living space yet providing privacy throughout. Enjoy the sun in your sheltered courtyard or on the roof terrace. Start the day with a swim in your 12m pool integrated in the privacy of the courtyard or do a workout in your own gym. Enjoy views from opening the entrance door.... The house offers lots of space and is equipped for 8 guests but is a similarly immaculate place for a very relaxing honeymoon holiday of two.
since 2018 we enjoy opening the entrance door for our valued guests to a world of surprisingly beautiful views
The seaside resort Cove Rock is located 20 km outside the city center of East London and 10 km from the airport.
