A peaceful self catering retreat for up to 8 guests in Scarborough, Cape Town

This comfortable, double storey, stand alone, beachfront house in Scarborough, Cape Town, South Africa, offers privacy, beauty and security.

If you seek a safe and peaceful beach retreat within easy reach of the Cape Town buzz, don't miss staying at this beautifully appointed beach home.

Atlantic Dream is situated overlooking a milkwood forest and the sea, in front of a long stretch of white sandy beach in Scarborough, a premiere Atlantic seaboard suburb and conservation village of Cape Town. Its setting, against a spectacular mountain backdrop, completes the picture.

Atlantic Dream is a well-ventilated free-standing house separated from neighbours by gardens and fences.

The villa offers four spacious bedrooms (each with its own bathroom) sleeping a maximum of 8 guests:

The bedrooms are configured as follows:

Main Bedroom: 1 x king size bed (2 guests)
Bedroom 2: 2 x single beds (2 guests)
Bedroom 3: 1 x double bed (2 guests)
Bedroom 4: 2 x single beds (2 guests)

The villa features a sparkling swimming pool (with child and pet safety net), a games room (table tennis, pool table, darts), open plan upstairs lounge (boasting sea views, indoor fireplace, dstv, dvd), leading to open plan dining room, downstairs lounge, two equipped kitchens (including dishwasher, washing machine, tumble-drier and microwave oven), a large secure walled garden, large upstairs wooden sunbathing deck with mountain and sea views, ample parking for 4 cars and electronic gates and security system.

There is charcoal/wood burning barbecue on the pool deck in addition to a Weber kettle barbecue on the deck (please supply own wood or charcoal).

We supply courtesy WIFI throughout the house.

Well behaved pets and children are welcome.

Out of respect for Scarborough and our neighbours no loud noise or music is allowed at any time. In addition there is a lack of large scale parking so we do not allow the villa to be used as a party or wedding venue.

Great house in a great location

Easy self check in when we arrived after receiving clear instructions from John. The house was beautiful, spacious and clean! The only disappointing thing was we weren’t allowed to use the washing machine. We had chosen the house as it stated it had this facility but upon arrival the information booklet stated we could not. Everything else was great.

Grundsätzlich ok - leider einige Unzulänglichkeiten

Wir (Reisegruppe mit 5 Personen) sind seit Jahren an verschiedenen Orten in Häusern oder Villen mit Selbstversorgung unterwegs. Dieses Jahr fiel unsere Wahl auf Kapstadt. Das Land, die Leute und die Stadt sind sehr interessant und sicherlich wieder eine Reise wert. So, die Pros und Cons sind nachfolgend aufgeführt: Pro: - großzügiges Haus mit viel Platz - ruhige Gegend inmitten von Residents - gute Ausgangslage für Kap der guten Hoffnung & Simons Town - bei Problemen mit dem Mietobjekt schnelle Erledigung durch Verwalter/ Besitzer - Verwalter hat täglich die Küche aufgeräumt und ggf. Betten gemacht, sowie den Müll versorgt. Con: - weit ab von Kapstadt, Stellenbosch usw. - Einrichtung sehr spartanisch, Küchenausstattung auch für Hobbyköche nicht ausreichend. (Wir waren erstmal im Haushaltswarenladen einkaufen...) - Pool im nicht gerade einladenden Zustand - Sicht aufs Meer durch Buschwerk verbaut - Keine Waschmaschine vorhanden trotz Beschreibung! - Poolbilliard vorhanden, aber unterschiedlich große Kugeln... - alles in allem macht das Objekt einen "vernachlässigten Eindruck", der jedoch nicht am Verwalter liegt, sondern eher am Investitionsstau. Es kann natürlich sein dass all die negativen Eindrücke "normal" sind, wir sind es jedoch so nicht gewohnt und sehen die Punkte eher als mangelhaft an. (Bilder vom Objekt erscheinen auf Google Maps.)

My family loved it 👌🏾 . Really impressed with the appearance of the property, clean and welcoming.

We had a great family vacation in this house . The pictures don’t do it any justice. My kids are still talking about it days later . The house is located in the secluded part of Cape Town ...minutes away from th beach , close to restaurants. If you looking for a home away from the CBD but has everything your family needs this is definitely it. The pool was clean and definitely a bonus . The Game room perfect for all of us . The owner , John was very easy to communicate with , responds right away . Housekeeper Salie was very pleasant patient. He waited to meet us on our first day while we were running late and explained everything we needed to know about our stay .Great experience 👌🏾 I will definitely recommend this property for that large group or family members .
