Seafront Wild Side

A haven in a storm.

We arrived early at Cape St Francis, as bad weather was forecast for later in the day. We managed to complete the worthwhile blow hole and Osprey wreck hike, although we got lost in the fynbos on the return. We were able to get settled in Seafront Wild Side, a spacious house, before the rain started. The rain continued in various degrees of intensity from drizzle to deluge, accompanied by gale force easterly winds for the next 36 hours, and it was pouring when we packed up to leave. The bad weather prevented the use of DSTV, but we enjoyed the board games to keep us amused. We appreciated the size of the house and its facilities – fully equipped kitchen and scullery with a good stock of utensils, crockery, and cutlery. The large lounge and the adequate bedrooms and bathrooms. The views of the rocks and the waves are stunning. Of essential use was the indoor fireplace and braai, which was used to keep us warm, to dry wet clothes (the metal I beam close by is just right for coat-hangers), and to have an excellent braai on Saturday night. The weather was exceptionally bad, causing flooding, structural damage, and loss of life up the East Coast. There was some ingress of water, but only in two spots, and this was controllable and did not affect our stay. The owners were made aware of this and will fix it. We saw Cape St Francis and Seafront Wild Side (the house lived up to its name) in the worst conditions, so we would like to come again when we could enjoy sundowners on the balcony.

Would like to go back sometime in the near future.

Our stay was great. Was able to truly relax. The views were beautiful and it had everything that was required for a self-catering break.

Fantastic!

What a fabulous location! We were there during a huge storm and it was amazing to watch (and hear) the crashing waves from the house. The house has everything you need. Very comfortable.

Fantastiese uitsig.

Alles wat jy nodig het.

It was fantastic. Will be back.

We had a wonderful 5 days. The view is fantastic. Even when the weather is bad. The house has everything you need including an indoor braai for cold evenings and a gas stove for loadshedding. We will definitely be back very soon.

Gesellige huis met die mooiste uitsigte.

Die huis is goed toegerus met als wat jy nodig het. Die binnebraai in die kombuis is perfek vir 'n lekker kuier, veral as die weer sleg is. Die uitsig vanaf die dek is iets om te beleef, ons het selfs walvisse en dolfyne gesien. Ons sal beslis weer daar bly.

We stayed at Seafront Wild Side for the weekend over my dad's 60th birthday weekend, it was my folks, my brother, his wife and my fiancé and myself for the weekend.

Seafront Wild Stay is a lovely family home in a breathtaking location. It has everything you need. Nicol was a lovely attentive host and we look forward to coming back soon!

Rustig.

Dit het die hele naweek gereën, kon lekker rustig kuier en see-uitsig is ontspanning vir ons. Ons het die naweekwegbreek geniet.
