Samos du Cap

Perched on the hillside above Scarborough’s unspoilt coastline, this beautifully styled seaside cottage offers a calm, sun-filled retreat just moments from the beach. Designed over two levels, the home blends relaxed coastal living with thoughtful detail, creating a space that feels both characterful and effortlessly comfortable. Whitewashed interiors, natural textures, and soft blue accents give the house a light Mediterranean feel, while large windows and verandas frame views across the garden, ocean, and surrounding fynbos-covered hills. Living spaces flow easily between indoors and out, with an expansive covered deck ideal for long lunches, evening braais, or quiet mornings with coffee and sea air. Bedrooms are bright and serene, styled simply for rest and comfort, while the children’s bunk room adds a playful, practical touch for families. The kitchen is fully equipped and functional, centred around open shelving and classic finishes that suit the home’s coastal character. Outside, terraced gardens lead down to a private swimming pool surrounded by greenery, offering shelter from the wind and a sense of seclusion. Multiple seating areas, from shaded verandas to sunny decks, allow guests to follow the light throughout the day. The entire property is for exclusive use, with secure access and easy parking nearby. An inverter ensures uninterrupted comfort during power outages, making the home well suited for longer stays. Set in the laid-back village of Scarborough, the house is a short walk from the beach, local cafés, and coastal paths, with the Cape Point reserve just minutes away. This is a place to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the quieter side of the Cape coastline.
