Chartfield Guesthouse: Loft Room

This grand old mansion has been standing for more than 120 years, its stately wooden windows looking out over the comings and goings in the seaside village of Kalk Bay. Here, you’ll find luxurious lodgings, room-service coffee or tea in bed, one of the best breakfasts in town, a gorgeous garden and sparkling pool, and a seaview terrace ideal for sipping a glass of wine at day’s end.

Inside, the serene, white-walled spaces are dotted with designer furnishings and local art, while large windows frame the blue ocean beyond. It’s a space where you can truly feel the magic of Kalk Bay, whether you’re in the family suite with self-catering facilities, a standard or deluxe room (all with smart TVs), or the lovely loft room with its own private balcony.
