Journey's End

Situated in the fishing town of St Helena Bay, guests will find Journeys End. This lovely self-catering open plan (studio type - no separate rooms) unit is located on a one and half hectare small holding on the beautiful hill Britannica Heights on the St. Helena bay peninsula and offers breathtaking views and sunsets over a valley, Paternoster and the ocean in the distance. Rich in nature and birdlife. Perfect for a break away from the busy hustle of city life, if you are looking for peace and serenity. Only 5 min drive (down the hill) from the closest beach, Sandy Point, St. Helena Bay harbour and amenities. Lovely quiet roads where you can safely walk, jog or cycle and only 100 metres walk away you have an awesome view over the whole bay of St. Helena.

St Helena Bay and surrounds has much to offer, such as white shell strewn beaches, calm waters with dolphins visiting regularly. Humpback and Southern Right whales come to calve in our bays from July-October, stunning spring flowers in abundance after good rains. In our harbour, lovely fresh snoek can be bought straight from the boats during the snoek runs. Plenty of crayfish during season. Visit the Berg River Estuary for a relaxing boat cruise up river, a bird watcher's paradise. Walking trails, cycling, horse riding on the beach and visit the Cape Columbine Lighthouse, nature reserve, Tietiesbaai and quaint town of Paternoster, West Coast national park, which are all close to St Helena Bay. Helena Bay is the ideal base from which to explore the West Coast and outlying quaint little towns and areas on day drives.

  • "More than just a self catering establisment"

    13 September 2014

    "From the moment we'd paid our deposit until we arrived, Christa kept in touch with friendly emails. On arrival we were met by Crista and shown around. She quickly took us to our verandah where we watched and photographed a most beautiful sunset. moments later we were on the opposite side of the house taking in the moonrise. it was the day before full moon and it was big and round. The next morning a magical big red moonset to to the background sounds and sights of the awakening birdlife just before dawn. Apart from this wonderful experience of nature we really enjoyed the clean comfortable and homely accomodation. Every thing one would expect from a first class self catering establisment and more was there for us to enjoy. Christa is a truly frienldy person and looked after us really well. Given the opportunity we would happily do it all again."
