Horizon View

Horizon View is a self-contained flat with lovely sea views, located in Pennington. This resort, named after Richard Pennington, is home to Botha House built by General Louis Botha for his wife, Annie, on land found for him by Sir Frank Reynolds, a sugar magnate and a member of the Colony's Legislative Council. This tied in with Sir Frank's idea of establishing a house in the area for the exclusive use of South Africa's Prime Ministers.

The self-contained flat can accommodate up to six guests. The main bedroom contains twin single beds and the second bedroom contains two bunk beds, with bedding and linen provided. The bathroom contains a toilet, basin, bath and a shower, while the comfortable lounge features a TV with DStv.

The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering and includes an under counter oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, cutlery, crockery, glasses, pots, and a toaster. A Weber braai is provided, as well as garden table and chairs, and parking for up to two vehicles is provided inside the property.

Hidden treasures at Pennington include the Umdoni Park and Selborne Park courses, where a round of golf comes complete with game- and bird-watching, as well as magnificent views of the ocean and indigenous forest. Pennington's splendid beach beckons and, with its golden sand and tidal pool, makes it the perfect place for swimming and sun worshipping. The main beach is within walking distance, about 10 minutes away.

Activities in and around the area include bird watching, hiking trails, nature trails, deep sea fishing and scuba diving, ship wreck diving and golf. There are plenty of shops and amenities nearby as well as a pub and diner.
