Accommodation Description
Flip Flop Cottage is a tastefully designed, one-bedroom self-catering retreat ideal for couples or friends. The open-plan layout features a lounge with comfortable seating and a smart TV with streaming services, and a compact kitchenette equipped with a stovetop, microwave, fridge‑freezer, dishwasher, kettle, and premium crockery. A king‑size bed (or twin) and en‑suite bathroom—complete with bath, walk‑in shower, bathrobes, and luxury toiletries—offer restful comfort. Crisp linens, bath towels, load‑shedding provisions, and Wi‑Fi ensure convenience. Outside, a covered patio with a built‑in braai, a dining set, and an outdoor fireplace invites guests to savour evenings in the secluded garden. Secure parking and full‑day security complete a serene seaside stay.
Setting Description
Beautifully situated in the Langezandt Fishermen’s Village, modelled on traditional thatch fishermen’s cottages, Flip Flop Cottage is a mere 200 m stroll from Struisbaai’s famous 14 km beach, the longest stretch of sand in the Southern Hemisphere. The secure estate is tranquil, with a private garden and quiet ambience, yet close to local attractions: Struisbaai harbour (with its colourful boats and resident stingray “Parrie”), Agulhas National Park, Arniston heritage village, and leafy coastal trails. It’s an ideal base for sunrise walks, fishing, kayaking, or whale-spotting (June–November), offering a blend of understated elegance and coastal charm.
