stone’s throw from the beach with spectacular sea views.

Southern Cross Beach House is the perfect place to replenish your soul with nature’s beauty. The famous beach and lagoon are a stone’s throw from the house, making for easy trips up and down to the beach with your flip-flops, beach towel tucked under your arm and kids in tow, dragging boogie boards. Ideal for those who want to catch the early morning surf. The house offers the wonderful simplicity of a real beach holiday. A stay here guarantees a sublimely relaxing way to recharge on holiday. If you want beachside living in peace and silence, this is the place for you. – it ticks all the boxes!

This beautiful and warmly welcoming beach house will give you a wonderful break from your busy lifestyle at any time of the year. Ideal for those of you who love to kayak, surf, run, swim, paraglide, fish, take long walks, picnic, splash about in the waves and of course just want to chill! Relax on the deck watching the dolphins play or the sun sink slowly on the horizon.

Thoughtfully designed interiors invite lounging about in easy barefoot style. The house is designed with entertaining in mind, and you’ll love it. Dreamy cushy beds and sofas, wonderful jetted bath to soak in. Sit out under candlelight and listen to the sea.

This spacious, well laid-out beach house provides what feels like an endless offering of comfortable social and private spots to take in all the magnificent ocean views, watch the sea change colour throughout the day, sunbathe, read, take a nap and enjoy sundowners. The house has been cleverly designed to accommodate every weather possibility, there are cosy outdoor and indoor spots to gather around a roaring fire. Facing the beach is a deck with spectacular views, a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee or for evening drinks beneath a canopy of stars. The lounge opens onto a huge wooden deck facing the sea, where the gently rolling waves provide a most relaxing soundscape. There are deep, comfy sofas in the lounge – so comfy you could recline for hours enjoying a lovely cosy fireplace with spectacular sea views. The lounge leads into a large living room – with a super built-in braai. There’s a giant television for watching DSTV from the comfort of a sofa, or hang out on the chairs positioned around the large table while watching the ocean. The indoor outdoor flow of this house is fabulous – the outdoor terrace becomes an extra living space and is wonderful for lounging on hot, sunny days. There is also another built-in braai on the terrace with magnificent views of the ocean.

While you’re spoilt for choice with the nearby restaurants, if you love cooking and entertaining, this home is a perfect bet for you. The well equipped kitchen is a pleasure to cook in. Then again, if you’d rather do as little as possible, sunning yourself on the terrace and slipping into the warm ocean water is just as inviting too. At Southern Cross Beach House, it’s all about indulging in long summer days and balmy nights.

The house perfectly accommodates up to four couples, but would work just as well for two families. Wonderful sea views from your bed in the main bedrooms. – the perfect retreat after a hot day of surfing, swimming or a relaxing walk along the beach, which is only a minutes’ walk. The other bedrooms are invitingly cosy, and one leads onto a garden with wonderful views across the bay.

There’s oodles of outside living space for kids to play and enjoy the freedom.
A short scenic drive from Mossel Bay, just a touch further up the coast from nearby Hartenbos, and a quick drive to paragliding hotspot Wilderness, mere 18-minute drive from George Airport, the little village of Southern Cross occupies a prime beachy stretch. Southern Cross Beach House offers a self-catering holiday home for rental in the secluded village of Groot Brakrivier in the Southern Cape. Located along the eastern edge of the majestic Southern Cross region on the Garden Route of South Africa, Southern Cross offers a serene seaside holiday experience.

Beautiful spacious yet homie beach house!
An ideal getaway home! Perfect for big groups or large families. It is very spacious but yet has a very home-like coziness to it. It is less than 100m from the beach and the beach itself is wonderful. Stunning views from all around the house. Awesome furniture and has 3 braai facilities. Fully equipped kitchen, wifi, DSTV, all things you would want in your dream holiday home, this house has it. Would highly recommend this house for anytime of the year to go on holiday or even just a weekend getaway. 10/10 from me!
