The Light House

Scarborough, which lies just beyond Kommetjie, is one of the few suburbs of Cape Town that remains far from the madding crowds, despite its proximity to the city.

Light House is situated two roads away from the beautiful Scarborough beach and is a stone's throw away from some great hiking trails up the mountain. The beach is beautiful and very child friendly. It is also a great spot for surfing. The house has three double bedrooms; the main bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and the other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with a shower and bath.

The house has a spacious, open-plan living room and dining room leading onto the fully equipped kitchen; our dining room has an eight-seater dining table which leads out onto a large covered patio with table. The house also has a laundry room with a washing machine and tumble-dryer. We have our own private garden with a large heated pool.

Scarborough is a conservation village and essentially a random scattering of houses and beach houses that lie embedded in the steep mountains of Slangkop and Red Hill, overlooking the thundering Atlantic waves. It is a nature lovers haven, seems miles from traffic jams and makes the crime of suburban living seem irrelevant. Scarborough lies adjacent to the Cape Point Nature Reserve.

There are a couple of restaurants and a small shop, but Simons Town, Noordhoek and Fish Hoek are easily accessible.
