Kurland Villa

Previously a private home, the villa is modern yet wonderfully rustic, and has everything you could need - and a few extras! You'll find plenty of sociable areas to catch up with friends and family; inside, there's two sitting rooms, a dining room, a study, and an enormous, gleaming kitchen. Outside, there's a swimming pool, a garden the size of a cricket-pitch, and a shady terrace for lazy, al-fresco lunches and dinners under the stars. Oh, and there's a steam room, sauna and Jacuzzi too if you thought there was something missing...

This eight-bedroom villa has five rooms in the main house, and another three in the adjoining west wing. All interior finishes are simply beautiful, and you'll find plush carpets, grand four posters and the softest of seating in all rooms. And there's the stunning countryside views from just about every corner of the house - enjoy them from your private patio, glass of wine in hand.

Nearby Plettenberg Bay offers dreamy beach walks, great surfing and a selection of trendy bars, shops and restaurants. Adventurer's will enjoying hiking in the Tsitsikamma National Park, or stay closer to home and walk in the forests behind the house. The pretty area of The Crags is also close by, and you'll find the Birds of Eden bird sanctuary, an Elephant Orphanage, and some pretty farm stalls and shops to wander around. And remember to save some time to relax at the house, and enjoy the fresh, countryside air.
