Sleeping Configuration
This property is exceptionally well-suited for larger families, comfortably sleeping eight people including children:
• Main Bedroom: Located on the upper floor, this room features a double bed and a bunk bed for children.
• Joined Enclosed Balcony: Accessible from the main bedroom, this sun-drenched space includes another bunk bed for children. It offers a spectacular breaker sea view looking directly over the rocks and tidal pool.
• Second Bedroom: Also upstairs, has a double bed.
• Bathrooms: The property includes two bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom is fitted with a bath and toilet, while the downstairs bathroom has a shower and toilet—ideal for a quick rinse after a morning at the beach.

Living Area and Kitchen
The ground floor is an open-plan space where the family can gather. The lounge is equipped with a TV and DSTV, providing a comfortable spot to unwind in the evenings. A large ceiling fan in the lounge keeps the living area breezy on those hot lazy summer days. The kitchen is equipped for a self-catering stay, with a fridge, microwave, and stove.

Outdoor Features and Safety
The ground floor has a covered patio area that opens out onto a larger open patio if you want to catch up on your tanning. A portable charcoal braai is provided, allowing you to move your cooking to the best vantage point while watching the waves. The complex provides secure parking for your vehicle, giving you one less thing to worry about.

What Makes This Property Stand Out
The view from this large family holiday rental in Manaba, makes you feel like you are standing right over the surf. It is a traditional “lock-up-and-go” that honors the way South Coast holidays have always been enjoyed. Fishing at Shad, which is opposite the holiday home, makes it easy to get your line in the water before the rest of the anglers arrive.
