OverviewRooms/RatesArea/MapReviews (6)
St James Cottage is situated in Kalk Bay and offers comfortable self-catering accommodation in a family friendly historic cottage, within walking distance to St James Beach and tidal pool. The cottage was built in 1853 and has many original features such as wide walls and sash windows.
The cottage is on a large property opposite the beach with a secret garden behind the high fence. It has its own entrance and enclosed little garden, graced by sunbirds and Cape Robins. The cottage comprises 2 bedrooms, a bathroom and an open-plan kitchen, living and dining area with sash windows. The first bedroom contains a double bed and the second and third bedrooms each contain 1 single bed. There is an enclosed porch with an extra single bed, overlooking the garden. There is a TV with DStv as well as board games, puzzles, books and magazines. There is also Wi-Fi available in the cottage.
The cottage was one of the first houses in St James, and when it was built had only a wagon track and the beach in front of it. The cottage was originally the barn adjoining the main house. There is minimal sea views with the high fence offering guests ultimate privacy so close to the ocean. Because of the configuration of the bedrooms, the cottage is ideal for a family, not for 2 couples.
The location is ideal for those looking for a comfortable base for a family holiday, accessible to the beach and local attractions. St James is located between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay; this little suburb comprises holiday houses nestled against the mountain, most of them historic and accessible only by steps. The main attractions are beautiful beaches, and the tidal pool with its colourful huts, which is a landmark in the area. Guests are welcome to borrow a boogie board and beach chairs if needed.

Local area description
Ons het ‘n wonderlike paar dae by St James Cottage gehad, gasheer en gasvrou is amazing. Het reggestaan vir enige iets of enige vrae wat ons sou hê. Net hul gasvryheid alleen sal maak dat ons definitief teruggaan. Verder is die klein historiese cottage baie oulik, baie klein tuin, maar skoon en well-equipped so naby die see, getypoel en winkels, dat ‘n mens nie eers ‘n tuin mis nie. Ons het heerlik gebly. Dankie Shamus en Carol, ons sal jul weer sien!

Ek sal St. James Cottage met ‘n oop gemoed aanbeveel. Die cottage is perfek geleë – die verkeer voor die huis verby is wel baie besig, maar die tuintjie is mooi afgeskort, so dit pla nie regtig nie en binne-in die huisie is die verkeer minder hoorbaar. Reg oorkant is ‘n lekker restaurant, ‘n stasiewinkeltjie, die stasie en natuurlik die see! Die getypoel is net ‘n vinnige stappie oor die pad en treinspoor (onderdeur ‘n kort duikweg) en langsaan twee ander lekker swemstrande. Maar die beste van die cottage is die eienaars, Carol en Seamus wat uit hul pad gegaan het om ons verblyf rustig, aangenaam en gerieflik te maak. Braaihout, ‘n koue bottel wyn, vars brood van die bakkery om die draai, konfyt, botter en allerhande ekstras het op ons gewag toe ons daar aankom na ‘n lang pad van Bloemfontein.

As soon as we walked in we knew this was just perfect. Unfussy, neat, uncluttered and comfy, the hosts had provided everything needed for our family, washing machine…everything. It was winter and we used the lovely gas heater. Would not stay anywhere else.

Die kothuis is goed toegerus met DStv en WiFi. Goeie linne en die kombuis is baie goed toegerus. Die eienaars het absoluut gesorg vir vele ekstras soos melk en botter en vrugte en sap en beskuit en tot honde beskuitjies, net ‘n keur van koffie en tee. Uiters gasvrye eienaars.
