Villa Marine Guest House: Pool Suite

When it comes to seaside towns, Pringle Bay is often overlooked – and we really don’t know why. Surrounded by sun-drenched mountains on the three sides and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean on the fourth, it’s a tranquil, secluded whale-watching haven – particularly on the spectacular coast where you’ll find Villa Marine Guest House.

It’s the ultimate in luxury and romance, and it’s less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town International Airport. Expect modern accommodation (it was recently refurbished), beautiful beaches, scenic hiking trails and all the wide open space you could ask for.
