Perched on a sand dune overlooking a pristine stretch of coastline, this rustic beach cabin offers a unique getaway. Approximately half way between Struisbaai and Arniston, this glamping-style accommodation borders De Mond Nature Reserve. If you are seeking time out and an escape from the rush of the modern world, this is the place to recharge your batteries – it is food for the soul and a space to reconnect with nature. Surrounded by fynbos, the cabin offers peace and solitude, birding, walks, surf fishing, trail running and off-road bike rides.  A 1km walk through the fynbos down to the beach. And 3km along the beach will bring you to “De Mond”, the mouth and pristine estuary of the Heuningnes River – one of the best kept secrets of the Western Cape.
